This was the perfect place away from the crowds of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house was well provisioned and the five of us and our little pup had plenty of room to enjoy. We would definitely return for a future trip!!

We took a family trip to visit Acadia and show some Texans and Californians some real fall colors. We had an amazing time and the house was so cozy and fully stocked! We’d highly recommend staying :)

The house was perfect for our getaway to Maine! We loved having a quiet place to stay and it was even more special to have our dog with us. Having a full bath for each bedroom was also great! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Cottage was in a great location. About 25 minutes from Winter Harbor for ferry to Bar Harbor and 45 minutes to Acadia. Quiet area - about 5 minutes to local beach area.

Thank you for your review! We are delighted to hear that the location was convenient for your stay. -Simply Rentals USA
We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

I stayed in this house with my husband an four year old daughter. It was a good location in that it was near many things to do--we drove about a half hour for a Puffin tour, and about 40 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

Different experience being away from Bar Harbor. We have enjoyed the solitude of the area and quiet part of the Acadia. The property is very clean and has all conveniences of home away from home.
