Comfortable Cottage Overlooking Blueberry Field on Mt Desert Island

The location is incredible. We loved all the windows looking out on the beautiful countryside. It was a perfect place to stay when visiting Acadia National Park.

Overall, this was a nice and convenient place to stay during our trip to Acadia NP. I would definitely stay at this location again, but there were a few things that could be improved at the price you have to pay. First, please be aware that there are two properties on both sides of the house that are separated by trees, but are still visible and close enough to lose the sense of seclusion that one may desire. Also, there are no blinds in the downstairs living room/kitchen. Given that the property isn’t completely secluded, adding blinds would be an easy improvement for privacy. Regarding cleanliness, I was disappointed to find the coffee machine was quite dirty and no coffee pods were available. I had to improvise and make pour-over coffee using coffee grounds and the kettle. Two placemats were also dirty when we first arrived and the smell of trash upon entering the home, where the trash is stored when leaving, was not what I was expecting. Also, my wife reported loud banging sounds on multiple nights. One night, the outdoor furniture had been knocked over. I don’t know what caused either of these, but something to be aware of. It could have been animals, but finding an unlocked downstairs window on arrival and being confused whether a door was locked or unlocked led to a feeling of unease.

Just as advertised, great base camp for our Acadia adventure on the quiet side of the island. Close enough to nature that deer would peek into the windows!

Beautiful property, clean home, and nice location on the island!

Very nice home. Enjoyed the daily visits from the deer. Great communication with the host. Thank you.

Wonderful home in the woods. Lots of room for 6 of us. Close to Acadia which we visited every day.

The beds were so comfortable. We were tired at night from all our activities and we rested so well! The house is easy to navigate in and out of, going to other cities in close proximity.

Great location. Very clean. A little tight for 8 people but a wonderful experience.

Very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Nice country type setting with lots of deer. Did a lot of hiking in Acadia National Park.

Great location & very nice home. We moved our stay here and the memories we made. Great base camp for Acadia exploration.

We loved our time here. Nestled in the woods near SW Harbor, the house is very comfortable, with a beautiful view of the meadow from the living room. The property manager was responsive, prompt and helpful.

Beautiful spot on the quiet side of Mt Desert Island. Don't miss Thurston's for lobster.

What a beautiful location! Everything about this house was perfect for us! I wanted our family trip to Acadia to avoid the amusement park-like crowds of Bar Harbor and this location was on-point! We hiked directly from the house to many trails near Long Pond and Echo Lake. We hiked a total of over 20 miles in our 3 days there and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The view from the backyard was amazing and great for viewing wildlife (especially deer and turkeys). One morning we were watching 5 bucks, 3 does, 3 hen turkeys, and roughly 20 poults all at the same time! I could not be happier with our stay here and am already recommending the home to anyone who will listen!

Wonderful property!

Beautiful views. Great location. Spacious home. Well set up for a family.

What an absolutely beautiful home and setting! Isolated setting; mountain views, deer & turkeys in the backyard; easy, short drive to SWH; easy access to Bar Harbor & Acadia NP. Felt like we had the entire mountainside to ourselves. Very well furnished and very comfortable. Hosts were fabulous. Can't imagine a more perfect Vrbo for our stay. We would live here if we could!

We enjoyed our time at this vacation rental. It was very restful. Beautiful view of a wilderness area in the back of the property with trails. Enough wooded space around the place to not see your neighbors. Close enough to all the Acadia national forest trails and sights that you were not driving a lot. I would stay again if we came back.

The house was perfect for us. Well equipped and comfortable.

We stayed while visiting Acadia. It was great to get away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each day. We saw deer and Turkeys each day. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely cottage with a wall of windows that look out to a beautiful view. Lots of deer. Great home if you are looking for a quiet location.

We spent 6 peaceful days and nights at this well kept cottage. I would book again if traveling to Acadia. Keep an eye out for the deer in the morning and evening and hawks as well. Lovely.

This property was a great location for our vacation to Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. It was a quiet location, with good views and lots of wildlife right outside. We had an infant under 1, and the property had toys and a gate for the stairs that we used. I would recommend this property to others.
