Great getaway

This home was beautiful! It’s a little drive to some parts of Acadia but the beauty and peaceful vibe of the property make it worth it! The property manager was easy to deal with and quick responding. We would absolutely stay here again!

Nice and secluded

We had a wonderful time at Puffins Perch! It was a nice space for our family of 7. It was clean and well maintained and had all the things we needed for our week on MDI. The outdoor deck was definitely a highlight for the adults and the pinball machine was the highlight for the kids.

Amazing!

This property was above and beyond our expectations. We were looking in Bar Harbor and I’m so glad we found this instead. Quiet, secluded and amazing views. The cottage was just beautiful. We would definitely recommend this property to family and friends etc.

Perfect location to enjoy Acadia

Had a group of 6 retirees. The property was perfect for our group. Loved the quiet location. Wish i could have given more than 5 stars for communicating with property management. Anytime of day or night they were quickly responsive and could not have been nicer. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, fully equipped

No issues, it’s serene and quiet. It had all the goods, and amenities. One thing was that the beds were smaller than we thought, and if you’re 6ft or taller you need more space.

Wonderful, Relaxing, Beautiful

Puffin Perch is exactly as described. We had an amazing stay -- remote and quiet house with access to Acadia (15 min) and Bar Harbor (30 min). We enjoyed the fire pit, a sunset at seal cove, and quick drive to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Very well stocked and easy check in/out process. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Better than the pictures!

This house was perfect for our group and the pictures on line didn’t do it justice! The main rooms were much bigger than expected with the high ceilings. We loved the location ( nice and quiet) and it was great coming back to the house in the evening to relax after a day of hiking. The view off the back deck was beautiful! The icing on the cake was seeing the aurora borealis one evening while we started a fire in the fire pit. We would definitely stay here again!

Puffins Perch

Nice little house close to Acadia. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals and the pinball machine was a huge hit with everyone. We had an issue with a few things, but nothing that would make me not recommend this place.

Peaceful stay in Maine

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The house was in a quiet location and we spent a good amount of our time in front of the large windows or out on the deck enjoying the views. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely return on our next trip!

Lovely Stay

This was a beautiful property and we felt that the pictures did not do it justice. There is a very pretty stream at the bottom of the hill that can be seen from the deck and fire pit area. The kids enjoyed the pin ball machine, puzzles, and games that were available. We liked that the property was so quiet and felt out of the way without the trouble of a difficult drive or parking. We never did figure out how to get to the easement for the water. We followed the instructions on the house information and were met by the neighbor who informed us that there are people always looking for the easement but that there isn’t one. We were unaware of just how spread out Acadia is, so while the house is close to several areas of the park, if you are planning on the visitor center or Bar Harbor, plan for 30 minutes. Overall, our only issue (which did not diminish the quality of the stay as a whole) was that the listing said there was a furnace, but we did not have a way to turn one on and it was rather chilly at night. We contacted the management group who immediately responded, and they said the owner had electric blankets and a small portable heater for use.
