“ACADIA NATIONAL PARK” Bernard Maine “QUEITSIDE” Near Harbor “Pet Friendly”

House and host both were amazing!

Our stay was awesome! The house was equipped with everything you could have needed and more! The host said we were welcome to anything in the kitchen pantry and any laundry supplies. The host texted us daily asking if we needed anything and was so gracious about information leading to our trip to Acadia National Park and local interests.

Had a wonderful time visiting Maine. The location of this house is great. We enjoy the quieter side of things, it was so peaceful here. 30 minutes to anywhere on the island. 30 minutes to Texans is nothing and we got to see most all of the island. Deer in the yard at night. The house had everything we needed. Be mindful the upstairs has three nice bedrooms upstairs that are all connected. This was not an issue for us, it would be great with younger kids too. The host was very patient with my questions before we arrived and responsive. Would stay there again.

Good way to see the southern part of the island and get out of bar harbor! Good food nearby too!

Cool house. Lots of space. The bedrooms were all connected on the top floor though so we definitely woke each other up for the bathroom and to go downstairs when the kids woke up or to let the dogs out.

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! The place was clean, cozy, and perfect for kids and pet. Great location near Acadia, spacious yard, and helpful host. Highly recommend for families.

We really enjoyed staying here! The house was decorated beautifully with lots of antiques which added an extra charm to the place. Loved how easy it was to get to Acadia and bar harbor. Can’t wait to stay there again!

Very nice home that looked and feeled like a house in Maine should!

Very private and in a nice neighborhood. House was very clean and welcoming. Host was easy to reach and didn't hesitate messaging with any needed updates. Perfect for your little visit!

Perfect for our family. A well stocked farm house with great outdoor space. Robbin is a very responsive host. You do have to walk through bedrooms to enter or exit and use the bathroom on the second floor. Great location on a quiet harbor on the quiet side of Mt. Desert Island.

Super well stocked kitchen. Wonderful place for our group to relax both inside and outside. Great location for exploring Acadia National Park and highly recommend dinner at Thurston’s down the road.

The house was roomy for our party of 8 (including 3 kids). The washer and dryer were nice to have so that we could leave with clean clothes, and lighten our luggage. The check-in process and entry to the house were super easy, as was communication with the owner. There are 4 bedrooms, but the listing may not detail exactly that you have to go through the bedroom at the top of the steps to get to the twin bedroom, then you get to the queen bedroom, then you get to the other queen bedroom, and single bed at the end. The upstairs bathroom is found in the fourth bedroom upstairs. We were all close family that stayed in the house, so going through one bedroom to get to the other wasn't an issue at all for us at all. The house is also close to Acadia. We were only 30 minutes from the entrance to Cadillac Mountain for those who want to catch the sunrise. I really liked our stay here, and found the house very clean, well stocked, and in a great location.

We had a wonderful stay in Rose Cottage! Everything was very clean, the owner responded promptly to any questions and the location was perfect to visit Acadia.

This place is great as long as you go in with the right expectations - the listing is not super clear that the 4 bedrooms upstairs need to be walked through to get to the last one (there are stairs leading down to the deck from the last one) - but we knew that going in from previous reviews. The biggest negative was that all of our showers we lukewarm. Otherwise it was nice and big with tons of places to sleep, and convenient to Acadia (and walking distance to Thurston’s).

This beautiful and extremely comfortable home is in the small and quiet village of Bernard. The house is very well stocked and provides an excellent night’s sleep. The wharf and an adorable library are just a 5 minute walk away. The house is 30 min from Bar Harbor and 10 minutes past SW Harbor but near delicious lobster, trails (Wonderland & Ship Harbor), and Bass Harbor Light House. The house is so welcoming and a great place to relax after a day of hiking and exploring.

Overall this was a great place to stay with my family given its location and amount of people it can accommodate. However, the home layout and interactions with the host did not sit well with my family and I. The bedrooms are all connected to one another. To access the master bedroom, you will need to walk through all the other bedrooms. This was not clear or specifically indicated in the listing. As far as my interactions with the host Robbin, I was barraged with questions the day before our stay regarding my group size, why our group is so large (I was in a party of 10), why we are staying in the area, etc. The host also messaged me in the middle of our stay with questions and arrived before 9am on the day of checkout thinking that my family and I had an early flight and had left the property. Communication was also lackluster and unreasonably delayed. Given these reasons, I am unable to recommend anyone booking this home.

Renovated home with new appliances. Very comfortable space. This is in a great location and the surrounding area is beautiful. Close access to Acadia National Park.

We lived our stay in Bernard! The house was clean and updated! The tiny harbor town was quiet and quaint! We loved Thurston’s Lobster House and it was in walking distance. Close to the Park and trailhead’s! It was such a great place to visit!
