• Great spot!

  5/5

  Enjoyed our stay! Wonderful cottage on the water. What a view, we saw loons and seals from the porch! Close to MDI and Schoodic.

• Beautiful waterfront views

  5/5

  We enjoyed our stay. Home had everything we needed. There is no washer/dryer but plenty of laundromats in town. Owner was helpful and very responsive with any questions we had.

  Kayaks are available to rent for the week (we had one delivered to the house). We took several trips to Acadia to hike and also visited Bar Harbor.

• Perfect location!

  5/5

  Comfortable cottage with a superb view of Mount Desert Island! Can't wait to come back!

  4/5

  This house is 45 minutes from Bar Harbor/Acadia. I loved the quietness and didn’t mind the drive but there was a lot of traffic. The layout was different and it would not be good with little kids if you wanted to be in the same part of the house. The house is very dark and it is hard to see at night. The house was very clean. The queen size bed was very uncomfortable and needs to be upgraded. The pots and pans are very old. I would have like to have a nicer set to work with. Note that there is no ac..It was 90 degrees when we were there. I was hot. I was okay with it but if you are a hot box, that would have not been good. I would have liked to have access to a washer as well. The view outback was worth a million dollars. I loved sitting outside and relaxing on the deck. Bring your binoculars to watch the wildlife.

• Not as expected

  3/5

  From the front i thought i was at the wrong place. The back view is beautiful though. The house was clean except there was animal hair all over the couch. It said no pets so that was a big turn-off. The front part of the house had a smell. Not a good one. I couldn't place the smell but it was very off-putting. Lighting in most rooms was by lamp, not ceiling fixtures. Several smoke detector were beeping from low battery so we had to deal with that right when we arived. The set up is very odd. There are essentially two houses put together. The "back house" you access only by the going out the back door and walking on the deck to the other side. Fyi, the "back house" didn't smell so that's where we stayed. You cant lock the " back house" when you leave though or you cant get back in. The bed in the bedroom needs to be replaced as you slide to the center. I was very disappointed with the house. I feel like i paid a lot of money, too much money, to stay there and we would have been more comfortable and saved money to stay in a hotel. With all of the negative, I am adding that I loved sitting on the back porch in the mornings watching the seagulls.
