About this property
Enjoy the Beauty of Acadia National Park! Bicycles are part of your rental!
Please note: Usually, we can only rent Sunday to Sunday for June, July and August mainly due to a shortage of people to clean when the cottage is turned for a new renter. I have just changed that to a 4 night minimum, but please message me before clicking on desired dates, so I can check with my cleaning person to see if the dates work for her. Thank you!
All guests must be at least 24 years of age.
Enjoy all that Acadia National Park has to offer!! Don't forget that September and October are two of the best months in Acadia as well! No crowds...just beautiful fall weather and gorgeous scenery.We are a short distance to all the natural beauty that is Acadia, and there is no time like the fall for hiking. We are located on what is known on the island of Mount Desert on the 'Quiet Side'. We are away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.. Relax on our patio and enjoy the garden.
The quaint village of Southwest Harbor is nearby. Take the nearby ferries to all the surrounding islands. Some of Acadia's easiest and most beautiful hikes are a short distance away.
We have a fully stocked kitchen for those who like to cook. Our cottage is heated to take the chill off a cool autumn evening.
So come enjoy your vacation in our garden cottage and enjoy the natural splendor that is Acadia!!
Two bikes included with rental. We have Wi-Fi.
Please be aware, that after I have accepted your booking, I will call the phone number you provide to VRBO. We MUST talk on the phone to make your booking official. That way, I can also give you more information about the property to make sure it is what you want. Thank you. Check in time is 4 PM and check out is 10 AM. I apologize for the early checkout but cleaning staff are hard to find and stretched thin, so need the extra time

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Lamb
Acadia is our favorite place to be. When we purchased the property, it wasn't so pretty, and we have spent years doing construction and gardening. After much hard work it is a pretty and comfortable cottage. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
we purchased this property, as we knew it had potential for a great little cottage one house in from the water.
What makes this property unique
You will be on the "Quiet Side", away from the crowds in Bar Harbor, but still very near many hikes which are part of Acadia, but are located on our side of the island. We are also only 3 miles from Echo Lake.
