My family and I had a very nice experience in this cozy cottage. It is in a great location convenient to several trail heads. It has everything you need and the Otter creek store is a short walk away for the items you forgot.

Really lovely property in a great location! We enjoyed taking the half mile path down to Otter Cove several mornings, and this was a great home base for exploring Acadia (interspersed with toddler naps). Everything was exactly as described in the listing and Amanda was very communicative.

Beautiful stay

We were nicely surprised with the cleanliness of the house. The location of the house was within walking distance to trails. The fire pit was a nice addition. Very close to Bar Harbor. Us four adults had a great stay.

This property was conveniently located to most everything we wanted to access in the area. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were clean upon arrival. The "short walk" to Otter Cove is a little over-represented, in my opinion. An exact distance would be more transparent.

Otter Cliff Cottage provided us with everything we wanted from the spacious open plan kitchen/dining area/living room to the very comfortable master bedroom. The location couldn't be better- within walking distance to the Southridge trail up Cadillac in one direction, and in the other, to Otter Cove and easy access to the Ocean Path on the Loop Road. What more could anyone want?

The cottage is lovely-cozy and has all the amenities we needed. Central to hiking, Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor. The accuracy of the listing has to do with the restaurants listed that are closest—all but one with a very mediocre rating is still open. BUT Bar Harbor is 12-15 mins away and has plenty of restaurants if you have patience for parking. Amanda’s place made it easy for us to decide to buy groceries and grill!

Great trip to Acadia!

This rental exceeded our expectations. Amanda was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The proximity to the park and comforts of home like the ac grill and fire pit made our stay that much better. We will be staying again the next time we come to visit the park!

Great stay in Acadia

We loved our stay in this home. The location was great. As others have mentioned, it was super accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but tucked away on a quiet street. We love using the fire pit in the evening. The layout of the house was great for two adults and two young children - and very accurately represented in the listing. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cute Otter Cliff home

Great place with location near Otter Cliffs and accessible to hiking/biking trails. Nice corner store a short walk away with nightly lobster pound. Quiet neighborhood, nice albeit small outdoor space. Would definitely stay again!

Comfortable Cottage

The 2 BR, 1 bath cottage was slightly larger than expected. Furnishings were attractive, cottage was clean, bedding was comfortable. Check-in was easy, parking convenient, and neighborhood was quiet. Kitchen provided extras, eg spices, trash bags, soap, laundry, coffee, which were welcomed. Bedrooms and living area were furnished to be comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, appreciated the use of park guidebooks and would return.
