Great place to base our vacation out of! The cottage is cute and comfortable and had everything we needed, and the location is excellent both for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia. The street itself is nice and quiet, and close enough to downtown shops and restaurants to walk anywhere you need to go. Host is very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a cozy place to stay while in Bar Harbor!

The house is conveniently located and is a short walk to town. With 3 bedrooms it would comfortably fit a group of 4-5 people. The host also provides a lot of good material to help with planning hikes and activities in Acadia.

Well equipped. A bit of a walk to shops and restaurants, 10 or 15 minutes tops, but that put it in a quiet residential neighbourhood, which was perfect. Small problem with the water temp in washer that the owner will need to look into, but it did work fine. Not a fancy place, but the location worked well for us and we had everything we needed. I'd rent it again.

Glad you enjoyed our cozy quiet cottage and happy that we were able to make it available for you to check-in early. Apologies the cold washer setting was not the icy-cold you expected, turns out LG washers mix a bit of warm water in cold-wash settings, to ensure powder detergent fully dissolves. Safe travels home!

Great distance from Bar Harbor downtown- we walked everywhere. Great location to Acadia. We were able to park easily and walk the trails. Residence was very clean and had all needed amenities. We appreciated having fans available for all rooms to stir the air.

Mary and Kyle’s cottage was an excellent place to stay for my trip with my fiancé to Bar Harbor. The cottage was conveniently located at the edge of town allowing for an easy drive to many popular locations on the island within 10-15 mins, including Ocean Path or Jordan Pond. It was also a 5-10 minute walk to town. The cottage itself was quiet, clean, and spacious. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots and pans. Quick note: If you do plan to cook, buy some spices and oils before heading onto the island. Communication with Mary was quick, easy, and efficient. During our stay Mary was very helpful, especially when we were having trouble with the front door upon our arrival. Instructions for check in and check out were easy to follow. The cottage was an excellent place for us and if we are ever back in Acadia we hope to stay there again!
