Amazing cottage, especially for the price. It was clean and well stocked with anything you could need. Also, it was in the perfect spot. A short drive from many hiking trails & less than 15 from downtown bar harbor.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. It was perfectly located on the island, outside the bustle of Bar Harbor but just a 5 min drive from city center. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Location / Great Property Manager

The house is in a great location between two great cities and some amazing hiking trails. The property manager also did an amazing job of making sure our stay went well - she even provided a crock pot when we asked for one. We would stay here again.

Fantastic location with foot access to the Otter Cove and Quarry trails for walks with kids, scenic morning runs along the park loop road, wonderfully cozy cottage with fresh wildflowers, amazingly comfortable beds, and convenient on-site laundry! Highly recommended. Especially for families with young kids who want to stay close to trailheads.

Great place and perfect location. It is a few minutes from Acadia and about 12 minutes to Bar Harbor - the best of both worlds. The house was extremely clean and if we ever come back, we would stay here again!
