We had a fantastic time here. I loved the location and the proximity to what we were doing. The house was lovely and I will definitely be considering coming back here if we ever visit again
Great property near Acadia National Park. The house was exactly as described and the cost was fair for the location and amenities. Well worth a stay here.
We loved our stay in this cozy cottage on the quiet side of Mt.Desert Island! The property had everything we needed and access to the park and great hikes was easy!

Check in was easy, the house was nice and clean and had everything we needed. Very peaceful area but not too far from all the things we wanted to do. We really enjoyed the fire pit outside!

Really loved this home and enjoyed our stay. I worked from there part of the week and found the wi-fi to be excellent. Beds were amazingly comfortable! I found it easy to get around the island but it is about a 10-minute drive to shops and restaurants in SW Harbor and 35-min to Bar Harbor. But would 100% recommend and stay there again.
Nice cozy property on the quiet side of the island while still close enough to the various activities.

My wife and I wanted a Maine getaway with our dog that we could explore Acadia and Mt. Desert Island. We had a lovely time and the home was exactly what we needed.

Our family had a great visit at this cozy cottage. We are glad we stayed near Bernard, much quieter than the Bar Harbor area. The cottage was clean, quiet and peaceful. The space was just right for our family of five. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here.

My husband, friend, dog and I all loved our stay here. The beds were extremely comfortable and the the house had everything we needed. Lots of basics in the pantry and plenty of kitchen tools, drip coffee maker, etc. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, but Southwest harbor is just a short drive away with great restaurants and shops. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. We loved exploring the quiet side of the island and did a lot of hiking, fishing, trail running, kayaking, and relaxing.
The house was warm, cozy and clean, my cousin and I enjoyed it very much!

My wife and I stayed at 14 Wicker Way with our two dogs and we loved this place. We got to explore the quiet side of the island and really enjoyed it. And you're just a short drive to Bar Harbor. The cottage is as advertised with everything we needed for our stay. We hope to stay here again when we visit next year.

Perfect space for a small family that is looking to relax. They had everything we needed. The home was cozy and very clean. There is a cute town with shops and restaurants only about 10 min away. My kids loved the upstairs bedroom area! We had a great stay!
