Lovely host who made sure we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Incredibly peaceful property with a beautiful view. The only issue we had was the cottage had some fruit flies likely left over from a previous guest.

The cottage was as advertised. Very clean, remote spot, peaceful. The host was wonderful and very helpful, we appreciated him coming to check in on us in person. Conveniently located to Ellsworth, Acadia and Blueberry Hill. Would recommend the property to others.

Exactly what we wanted on our visit. Welcoming beautiful sunlight spills into the space. View of Cadillac Mt. from the back porch door. Clean and charming. Alan is a gracious host - gave us a tour of the music barn and recommended local spots.

The stay was okay. In-person check-in was unnecessary and inconvenient. The host seemed annoyed and made some uncomfortable comments. The towels were stained and there was no comforter (only a quilt) on the bed. The property is on a hill, but there isn't really a view. The view is of the host's home, other properties, and the music center. The back porch directly faces the host's home/backyard.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Overall it was okay. Not the nicest or fanciest but it was fine. What I did not like: the buildings are super close to each other, tight quarters for parking, bed was small, shower was small. If we would have spent more time there I would have been disappointed but we were up early and got back later in the day. We did not come back mid day due to being close to a hour from the park. The air stopped working sometime during the day before our 3rd night there. It was mild temperatures so it was fine. It's called cottage with a view but there was no view. It was a yard and trees with multiple buildings around. There were constantly flys flying around inside. I booked last minute and took what I could afford. Talked to Alan on the phone before arriving and he was super nice. Arrival and departure was simple. Nothing majorly wrong but not my favorite place.

I will start with saying I have no idea about the other commenters complaining about the view. We had a beautiful view toward Acadia and Cadillac Mountain. Sure the owner's home is in the sight line but it in no way obscures anything and expecting a property to be built with unobscured views seems pretty selfish given most Vrbo listings are private property that they are renting out.The mini-split right above the bed does blow right on your heads when sleeping and takes some getting used to. Water pressure in the bathroom sink was very low and made for some challenges when rinsing toothbrushes etc. The parking is tight and we had some other folks around during the week and we had to be very careful to use every inch of space to allow each other room. The map the owner provided shows seven cabins and we only had 3-4 occupied while there and we found things challenging for parking so be aware of that. We had a sunrise pass for Cadillac Mountain and emerged to find a vehicle next to ours at 4 AM that was not there the night before and they could have easily boxed us in and we'd have had a major problem. There were places near the road we could have left our car but it can be an issue. Host was friendly. The cabins are all on top of each other and pretty packed. We had no issues with noise but not sure how that would work during warmer times when we might be outside or have had deck door open or something.

Loved staying at the cottage during our trip to Acadia National Park! It was the perfect distance from the park where it was an easy drive but also far enough away from the super touristy areas that we were able to relax at night. Such a quiet, beautiful property that we'd love to stay at again!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay at the Cottage with a View. We were thankful for the air conditioning as the temperature soared into the 90’s even in Maine! The one room cottage was very comfortable with a queen bed, a futon sofa, table and two chairs and even a piano. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and the sun setting in the evening. Alan, the innkeeper, was always responsive to our questions and genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed our time in Surry. He told us about a lovely beach area and lobster shack just minutes from the cottage. He also gave us a tour of the Surry Arts Barn next to our cottage as there were no performances while we were there. Maybe we will return when there is a music show that fits our schedule and stay again at one of the cottages. We highly recommend this lovely spot away from the crowds of Acadia during the summer months.

It was a perfect location and so quiet for those of us who wake up at 3 am for hikes. The property was clean and the host made sure to accommodate my late check in.

What a great isolated place to stay

It's a great place to get away from spending the days in bar harbor and Acadia, while also getting the added benefit of being close to great local small towns that also have lots to offer.
