We stayed while visiting Acadia. It was great to get away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each day. We saw deer and Turkeys each day. We would definitely stay here again.
We spent 6 peaceful days and nights at this well kept cottage. I would book again if traveling to Acadia.
Keep an eye out for the deer in the morning and evening and hawks as well.
Lovely.
We had such a wonderful time at the cottage. Perfect location for exploring all of Mt. Desert Island while in a quiet and beautiful location. Hope we can visit again soon!
This was our second Acadia trip and we absolutely loved the quiet side of the island! The cottage was quaint and secluded. It was cozy and the perfect spot to return for a rest after a full day exploring!
We enjoyed our time at this vacation rental. It was very restful. Beautiful view of a wilderness area in the back of the property with trails. Enough wooded space around the place to not see your neighbors. Close enough to all the Acadia national forest trails and sights that you were not driving a lot. I would stay again if we came back.

Great place
We had a great time staying here. Quiet place but close enough to Acadia, Bar Harbor. Very clean. Perfect for us.
This property was a great location for our vacation to Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. It was a quiet location, with good views and lots of wildlife right outside. We had an infant under 1, and the property had toys and a gate for the stairs that we used. I would recommend this property to others.
This was our second time staying at the house. It is a perfect location to be able to access Acadia and then come back to a quieter location. House is clean, spacious, includes everything you need and the views are great.
Had a great time and the property. Perfect location, very clean and easy to communicate with the property owner. Enjoyed the blueberries and deer and turkeys every morning.
We loved this house. It was the cleanest home we’ve ever stayed in! It was in a great location, loved wandering out to the blueberry bushes and saw deer in the morning. Kathy was wonderful to work with, she circled in with us to see how we were enjoying our stay and the area. We highly recommend staying in this property!
The cottage is in a great location to hike in Acadia National Park. It was spacious and comfortable for my group. We enjoyed seeing the deer around the house and nearby blueberry field. We would stay here again for future trips to Acadia.
Comfy bedrooms, nice floor plan, peaceful location with easy access to lots of hiking. It just needs a few more cookware and dishware items. We hope to return soon!
We had a fabulous stay in blueberry lane in southwest harbor. The house is tucked away but still very accessible and a great spot between the quieter side of the island and bar harbor. The house was clean, had everything we needed and the hosts were quick to answer questions! Would absolutely stay here again!
Property worked well for our Acadian vacation. We thought the location outside of Southwest Harbor was great. Nice to be on the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island but have access to everything! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your property!
We had a great stay on the quieter side of the island. The property was secluded with a fabulous view of the meadow. We watched deer every morning and a turkey family roosted in the tree outside every night. Plenty of space for four adults to space out and everything was immaculately clean, comfortable, bright (once we figured out the dimmer switches) and airy.
We had a wonderful family gathering at Blueberry Field Cottage. From the ease of finding the cottage to the check-in process, to the views and the comfort of the cottage, everything was great. We would definitely come back again. Thank you! The Blairs from NM
