The absolute perfect getaway

This place was absolutely perfect for us!! The location was awesome - super remote, out in the woods, far enough away from everything that it was quiet but within 15 minutes we could be in a number of cute little towns. It was clean and the bed was comfy. Everything you could ask for! We went to several places the host recommended and they were all awesome.

My partner and I stayed here for our trip to Bar Harbor to spend the weekend in Acadia. The space was very quiet and easy to access. We booked here as it was a better fit for our budget but I would say there was a downside of having to drive 25mins to Bar Harbor every time we went for meals or the park. Overall a nice quiet spot for a weekend stay. I will advise they do not have an iron so bring one with you!

You'll Love This Place!

The host was very accommodating and friendly. We made a last minute change to our itinerary and they didn't skip a beat to work with us to adjust our stay! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend booking at Misty Mountain Retreat!

Beautiful Cottage

This was the perfect quiet place on the island, but also close by bay harbor and more touristy spots. The hosts were absolutely amazing! They answered any questions I had immediately. They provided a detailed book with great suggestions on things to do on the island. The pictures don't do this cottage justice! Exceptionally clean, convenient, and beautiful!

Excellent yet very quiet location

We used the cabin as a base for our visit to Acadia. It is very conveniently located so that visit to the north and south of the island is very easy. In less than 10 minutes you can get to a nice beach and watch the sunset. Local restaurants are also close by to grab local lunches and dinners.

Acadia Home Base

The space was a perfect home base to fit our family during day hiking and exploring. We were able to fit in two pack and plays and were pleasantly surprised to find the AC even though it’s not mentioned in the listing.

Trip to Acadia NP

Stayed here for an anniversary trip to Acadia NP. House was very close by to the park and the owners had great information regarding areas closer to the house if you were interested in eating out, going swimming, and much more. Was equipped for everything we needed and was a cute little house for a getaway. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great time on the quiet side of Acadia NP

A very nice place in a rural, country setting, yet near many activities and restaurants. We enjoyed exploring Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island from Misty Mountain Retreat. Everything was as advertised, clean and comfortable accommodations. Although our stay collided with Tropical Storm Lee, the hosts kept tabs on us, making sure that we were comfortable and that everything was okay - excellent hosts. We enjoyed Misty Mountain Retreat and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Cute, clean, comfortable

This cottage is really clean and comfortable. It is away from the touristy and busy areas of the island, but less than 30 minutes away from any area of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The kitchen is truly a kitchenette, but we were able to cook a few meals (for two) with no problem. Nicole is very responsive and had many suggestions for kayaking off the beaten path. Firepit, large TV, eclectic music collection, tourist library, and AC are welcomed amenities. Enjoy!

Perfect Acadia landing spot!

This cottage was a dream, and I can’t add much to what others have said—it looks like the pictures, exceeds expectations, is so well designed. My personal addition is that I have a Michigan Dutch mother and grandmother—iykyk!—and I think even they would pronounce this place spotless! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Acadia/Bar Harbor Getaway

My husband and I booked this as our home base while we visited Acadia National Park with our pup! The overall space was very clean and as described. Nicole and Andrew were great hosts and were more than happy to offer any assistance we may need and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable! They also provided great recommendations on hikes and restaurants in the area. I gave 4 stars for location because it was slightly inconvenient to travel to and from Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park from the home. Other than that, Nicole and Andrew’s Misty Mountain Retreat is a wonderful, pet friendly escape from reality. Thank you for hosting us!

Quiet side of Mount Desert Island

Clean, nicely appointed small getaway without all the hubbub of other places on MDI. Suited the needs of two participants in MDI marathon/ half marathon. As stated in property description, there is a ladder to the sleeping loft but one with which sore runners had no problem. Assume the water is heated by tankless heater because hot/water available upon demand. Nice!!! We were there 3 nights, would liked to have stayed longer. Great jumping off place to explore the island. Highly recommend.

Cozy and Peaceful Retreat

This was the perfect place to stay with my wife! It was very close to Acadia and only a 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor. The Misty Mountain Retreat was very clean and quiet. Nicole had the perfect guide book for us to use for all of our outdoor adventures. Hiking is just around the corner and Seal Cove Beach is minutes down the road. We also loved driving to Gott’s for take out dinner and pizza. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway that is near all the sights- stay at this gem!
