This is a great house for a large family. The back yard and deck are wonderful! Access to the quiet side of MDI is so easy and nice, and access to the busier side is 10-15 minutes away when that's what you're looking for. Host is very responsive and helpful!

Overall, this was a great place to stay, with lots of space, clean rooms, great central location on Desert Island, and easy check in. Our big complaint was there were dirty dishes put away, and some basic neglected property maintenance, including water filter on refrigerator needing to be changed, a very old and broken Adirondack chair in the back and a few other minor things. This property appears to be run by a larger agency and lacks some of that extra personal attention you often can find in other properties. I did send all this feedback to them directly and they apologized and said would address. Be good to see people who rent this after us if they see the changes or not. With extra personal attention it certainly can be 5 stars, but otherwise if this is how the property is going to be managed, then it should come at a lower price in my opinion.

John thank you for the feedback after your recent stay at Avigayil Cottage. We are happy to hear that you advised the local team and we are confident they addressed these issues once that feedback was received. Our home gets great reviews typically so this is not the normal guest experience and we hope you come stay with us again if you find yourself in our area to experience that typical stay.

Ideal location

This location was a perfect location. Only 10 minutes to Visitor center or Cadillac Mountain or a short drive into Bar Harbor. The property had plenty of entertainment options for our group. We loved the great room and the openness of the downstairs made meal time a great family event.

Comfortable stay for our large group

Overall really pleasant stay. We loved the fireplace tucked into the woods and the ping pong table. The house and rooms are really large, but they could benefit from adding multiple beds in some of the rooms so people don’t have to sleep on couches, and minor easy updates to decor throughout the house would make this property stand out. Really good proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Great location- centrally located on Mount Desert Island. Enough room for 10. Great fire pit, kayaks and forest behind house. The hot tub was not working.

Hi, Molly. Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the location, spaciousness, fire pit, kayaks, and the beautiful forest surroundings. It sounds like you had a wonderful time connecting with nature. I do want to clarify that the hot tub is not listed as an amenity for this home, so I apologize if there was any confusion. If you have any other questions or need assistance for future stays, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon!

Family time in a great spot

We loved the spacious home since there were nine of us. Well stocked kitchen except for lack of dishwasher. We used all the amenities-- kayaks, hot tub, ping pong, fire pit, grill and had a a great time together. Lovely property by the river.

Acadia gem

This house is great for families including multigenerational families. We loved the tire swing, fire pit and hot tub. Having the high chair and pack and play was a nice surprise. Maybe you could add it to the home’s amenities so future families don’t have to rent them like we did. Great location to access the park and for excellent restaurants in bar harbor.

Nice proximity to attractions.

The house was relatively clean and the two service issues were addressed quickly. The house is right on the Main Street, so was very noisy with lots of traffic going by. We couldn’t use fire pit or hot tub because there were too many mosquitos.

Great for multi-family trips

We stayed with 2 families and 4 kids under 5yrs old. We all had enough space, enough bathrooms and loved the perks like the bunk beds, tire swing, hot tub and fire pit near the water. If I had to change only one thing, I would’ve loved to have had air conditioning in the bedrooms or in the common area near the kitchen. It was only 15 mins from lots of Acadia attractions and from downtown Bar Harbor. We would definitely come back!
