Our family had a fantastic stay at Woodland Cottage in Southwest Harbor. The kids loved playing outside—the space was really nice and perfect for them. Hot water and the shower were excellent after long days exploring and hiking. The cabin is close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor that we could easily hop over for hikes, seafood, and all the coastal charm. It is in walking distance to shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor. Our host, Vicki, is informative and quick to respond, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.Highly recommend for families looking for a great base near Acadia!

Had a great stay. Cottage was in a great location and a very short walk to the shops and restaurants of Southwest Harbor. Being set off the road in the woods the unit was quiet and peaceful with deer and ducks wandering on the property. Many puzzles and games to keep the family occupied at night. Given no rentals within Acadia National Park, this was a great location to be able to go back and forth to the park and trails.

Cozy cabin in the woods. Everything we need but not cluttered. Happy to find there is a Keurig coffee maker! Brand new toaster! Laundry is in separate small building but was easy to use just walk out door a few steps beyond fire pit. Everything was provided…laundry detergent, (wood for fire pit). Beautiful loft with King bed and a couple of comfy chairs to look at the view of the ocean! Driveway is very steep but we still walked to town a few times. Thank you Vicki for sharing your cabin!

This cottage in the woods was perfect for our family of 4. It was a great base for exploring Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The longest we had to travel to see everything we wanted to see was 35 minutes. The loft upstairs offered a lovely view. The home was very clean and had great natural light. The washer and dryer were very convenient and laundry baskets were available in each room. There is a nice grassy area in the back where my teenagers enjoyed playing frisbee while we cooked dinner on the grill. We arrived late into the evening and it was so nice to have the beds all made up and ready for us. We would definitely want to stay here again if we came back to the area.

This was a great property! We saw deer multiple times. It is up a large steep driveway, so be prepared for that.

The cottage was perfect for our time in Maine. It was the perfect distance from Acadia and the crowds of Bar Harbor. It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed to come back and relax after long days of hiking.

Absolutely would not change a thing about our stay at Cottage 2. We took in all that Acadia had to offer. Hiking, Ocean Drives, Sunsets and Sunrises, along with the Lobster Rolls. Cottage 2 tucked nicely in the trees made for peaceful and relaxing evenings. The cottage was everything we had hoped for and more. If we get back to Southwest Harbor, the quiet side of Acadia we will definitely stay again. Thank You for making our stay a memorable adventure.

Wonderful stay!

We loved Vicki’s cottage! It was super clean, the kitchen was very well equipped and the setting is amazing, so quiet and in the middle of the forest. It was really nice to be away from the crowd. I highly recommend it.
