The carriage house and location are amazing! This is the cleanest property I have ever rented, including hotel rooms. The kitchen/living room is very well appointed and comfortable for cooking and relaxing with the family. It is up to date and the appliances and furniture are very new. Our beds were comfortable and the blankets were plentiful (if needed). There are fans in every room. Our weather was 70s in the day and cooler at night, so the fans were mostly not needed. The location is perfect for access to the Island Explorer bus (15 minute walk to the bus stop). We loved the rocky beach, the tides, and the sunsets. This is a cottage that has been thoughtfully used and cared for. We could feel the history of years of enjoyment and family togetherness here and wish we could have stayed all summer!

Everything was wonderful except a wasp nest on the upstairs balcony. Also, we were upset that we were not allowed to use the kayaks and canoe that were in the listing. The house was beautiful.

Fantastic and adorable!

Cross Carriage House was beautiful and exactly where we needed to stay for our family vacation this summer! It was close to town but just removed enough to be serene and peaceful. We had an amazing time exploring MDI- Echo Lake, Sandy Beach and Jordan Pond were all truly unique not to mention the vistas from Cadillac Mountain and every roadway! Travellin' lobster was right down the road from the house as was Udder Heaven which was perfect for all of our stomaches. Sweat Peas farm right next to Travellin' Lobster was also amazing. We could go on about the amazing food we ate forever! Honestly though, our favorite part was just combing the beach right next to the house every low tide. That was extraordinary. We were able to hear loons while we were sleeping and see them during the day. On the Thursday we were able to see herons, seals and even a porpoise during the sunset! Afterwards we were treated to an amazing Aurora Borealis right from the same beach as the seals played off shore!!! Definitely a memorable cottage for all of us. We look forward to visiting again asap and we definitely recommend this to everyone we know headed Down East! ps- listing was accurate, super helpful manager, clean and all that good stuff!
