    Joe is wonderful to work with from the time of booking through check out. The cottage is tastefully decorated with friendly touches. Everything you need is at your fingertips. We had no need to fight the crowds downtown. We enjoyed our day hikes and returned later in the day to relax, prepare our meals and enjoy the calm, peaceful neighborhood. A great place to visit with our dog, an extra bonus!

    Joe is very responsive and thoughtful. The cottage is comfortable, slightly quirky, and ideally located for visiting Acadia.

    We had a great week, the house is close to lots of hiking and a short drive to a few fun town areas. We had a great stay!
