The crows nest was an amazing spot, secluded with views of the ocean through the trees, very peaceful and comfortable but within a close distance of restaurants and Acadia trails. The house was clean, well taken care of and had with everything we needed. We’d definitely stay again.

Very comfortable & well equipped home with beautiful, original art throughout. Timely communication with the owner. Perfect location on the quiet side of Mt Desert-we parked at the Acadia Gateway Center or the Hull Cove Visitor Center & used the Island Explorer buses to get around the park. Very nice screened porch and deck for enjoying the sun and bird watching. We saw a Bald Eagle soar just over the cottage several times. It was fun to go down to the dock to witness the changing tides. We saw seals, Belted Kingfishers, Osprey and gulls. Thanks for sharing this beautiful home.

This was perfect for our family of four and pup. So quiet, comfortable, peaceful, and close to everywhere we wanted to go (great hiking, swimming, and lovely towns). I only wish we could have stayed longer. Our teenagers loved having a semi-private space on their own floor, and the supply of puzzles and games, in addition to all of the lovely reading nooks kept us engaged during downtime. There is nothing like the view from the dock, overlooking the narrows and nearby islands. The tide coming and going is always rewriting and reconfiguring the landscape, adding or removing islands for the seals an cormorants to gather on. We saw loons, kingfishers, osprey, and gorgeous sunsets and stars. Loved the screened-in and wrap-around porches. Relaxing and refreshing trip with wonderful memories! Thank you!

We had a great time at the cabin! Super cozy and perfect for our anniversary trip. We brought our two dachshunds with us and they loved it too. Host was very responsive to the one question we had while we were there. The views from the cabin and pier were amazing!

Great house

My wife and I stayed at the house in May 2025 and we loved it. The house was very clean and furnished with everything we needed. It is perfect for two or four people and we hope to return in the future. (Just note that the correct street number is 71, not 77.)

We had a lovely week at this cabin on the lake. We rented kayaks for the week locally and enjoyed lots of seals, loons and a bald eagle on our kayak adventures. The house is about 15 -30 minutes from all the spots we wanted to bike and hike but easy drive. If you want a quiet, peaceful escape from the world, this is the place to go. It was a clean and comfortable stay and I highly recommend.

Pictures don’t do it justice

The place is gorgeous. A little cabin tucked away on a tidal inlet with a dock. We sat on the dock 3-4 times watching the sunset after exploring MDI and the ANP all day. Great communication and an amazing stay.

This spot was so peaceful and beautiful. We could see the seals and hear the loons. Sitting out on the screened in porch was a highlight. The ammenities in the home are great, particullarly the kitchen. As readers and knitters, we found many comfortable spots in the home. All with excellent lighting. I was a bit concerned about the spiral stairs with the dog, but no need. There is access from the yard directly into the upstairs. The host was outstanding and responded to my questions immediately. I highly recomment this home and hope to return next year.

Lovely, high-up view of sunsets and islands

This is an interesting two-level house perched high above the quiet bays on the western side of MDI. The wrap-around deck is a great place to watch the bay go quiet in the evening. The path to the shared dock is precipitous but worth the effort, since seals and loons are everywhere to be seen. An extra plus is the collection of classic detective stories that are available for rainy-day reading. Internet service on that side of the island does tend to be unreliable--the owners do the best they can to provide.

Stayed for a week with husband, my sister and her husband. Absolutely loved the property. Perfect size for the 4 of us. The kitchen had what we needed. Plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. Very quiet; we never saw another person. We went down to the dock every day, some days twice. The rope to guide you down was much appreciated! Saw some seals in the bay, but never the resident porcupine! Stargazing was amazing and we even saw the northern lights. Host was responsive when we ran out of propane. Would highly recommend this property. It was about a 20-30 minute drive to get to places in town, but worth it. We would return again. PS - be sure to visit the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia. Best part of the park!

The Quiet was incredible

Secluded from the traffic. Easy access to water (it is a rocky trail but well worth it) We kayaked and pretty much had the water to ourselves except for the harbor seals which were fascinating to watch. You can rent Kayaks and they will deliver to the house. You do have to haul down to the water but well worth it. Screened in porch was a great place to relax after a long day of hiking or biking. We did both. This is a wonderful place to stay and cannot recommend enough. BTW, you are close to Bar Harbor but we found Southwest Harbor to be a Gem. Popovers at the Common Good (designed to raise funds for meals for the needy), great lobster places on the harbor with free parking with several other restaurants close by. Give Archies a look in Tremont. The Beech Mountain Ladder trail , though not as hard as the Bee Hive trail , great fun and zero crowds. Not sure why more people were not doing. I could go on , but I do not think you be disappointed if you love the outdoors.

Amazing, Beautiful, Peaceful Stay!!!

This was my wife's and my first trip to Acadia and it's a trip together we will never forget. Our stay in this home was nothing short of wonderful. It was *immaculately* clean, comfortable, full of amenities, secluded, and peaceful. Owners were extremely responsive to questions (within minutes every time). Falling asleep in the upstairs bedroom and waking up to the sun shining on the water and through the trees through the large window was amazing. This home was the quietest place we have ever been. Beyond the home, if you've never visited Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park - do yourself a favor and put it on your bucket list. We enjoyed the people of Maine, the food, the unbelievable national treasure of Acadia, and the clean air. Go to the top of Cadillac mountain, hike the Coastal trail, hike the Jessup path, spend a day and evening in Bar Harbor, sail the Margaret Todd, and most *definitely* check out the Ranger-led star gazing nights (twice a week) at Sand Beach. Get food and Blueberry Pie from Abel Lobster. Mainely Meat & Barbecue, together with Atlantic Brewing Company, are 10 minutes away from the house and we did take out 1 night to enjoy at home. We would 100% without hesitation stay here again, and this has raised the bar for what we can expect from a rental.

Perfect property for a Bar Harbour vacation. Spent a week there with my wife and two teenage girls. Feels rustic and wonderfully secluded but at the same time the house is very well appointed and close to markets, cafes etc. This was my second trip to MDI and I will absolutely target this house if / when I do a third.
