Waterfront Cottage - 17 Mi to Acadia Ntnl Pk!

Reviews

• Great spot for the Downeast experience

  5/5

  This was a great spot to use as headquarters for our trip to Acadia National Park. After a short hiccup checking in (soon remedied), we found the house to be very comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was very well stocked with a great selection of cookware, as well as a variety of spices and seasonings available. The rooms were very comfortable, and two of them quite spacious. Two TVs gave us additional options for viewing, although the cable/dish supplier had some issues. The view from the house was outstanding, and included newly built stairs down to the rocky beach. Kayaks were available, but we didn't use them. Lastly, our host Carolyn was great. She was very responsive and helpful and a joy to work with. I would stay at this house again without reservation.

• Beautiful views!

  5/5

  Our group consisted of two families (4 adults, 4 children) who wanted to visit Bar Harbor, but be away from the crowds and traffic. The Seagull was located on a quiet lane with amazing water views. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, we had plenty of room to spread out and no lines for the bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was centrally located for shopping and amusements. Towels and linens were plentiful and everything was clean. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!

• An OK place.

  Hi Al, thanks for taking the time to review your stay. After reading your feedback, the homeowner wanted to share the following:
  - We're glad you enjoyed the ocean view
  - Most of our guests enjoy how roomy our cottage is, but we understand it might not suit everyone's preferences. We encourage our guests to review the listing carefully to determine if our cottage suits their needs
  - We also provide an 8-foot table with eight chairs so that our guests can enjoy memorable get-togethers
  - There is a closet toilet for emergencies when the main floor bathroom is occupied
  - We have to keep the canoe and kayaks at the top of the stairs area, so they don't get lost or stolen. We're sorry for the inconvenience
  Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

  We had a great time here. With 6 adults, including my 85yr old mom, everyone had space to them selves. Mom had the first floor bedroom and really enjoyed the sun room and deck watching the boats and humming birds while we were out hiking up mountains in ANP. The bathrooms are big and spacious to.The kitchen was well stocked with tools and equipment ( we loved the lobster pot). The hostess was always available to answer questions prior to our stay. She even check in with us during the week to make sure everything was going well.

  We loved the house! With 6 adults, including my 85yr old mom, everyone had space to them selves. Mom had the main floor bedroom, and enjoyed sitting in the sun room and on the deck while we were out hiking mountains in Acadia Park. Having the 2 full bathrooms was a must. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools and equipment ( we used the lobster pot every night!)

  The hostess was wonderful. She was quick to respond to my many question prior to our stay, and even checked in with us while we were there.

  The area was quite and peaceful, just so relaxing. We were close to ANP, Bar Harbour, and all the stores that we needed. Thank you for a great vacation!
