Please note: Usually, we can only rent Sunday to Sunday for June, July and August mainly due to a shortage of people to clean when the cottage is turned for a new renter. I have just changed that to a 4 night minimum, but please message me before clicking on desired dates, so I can check with my cleaning person to see if the dates work for her. Saturday checkouts are usually not something which we can do. This is because of the cleaning person schedule. That said, if we don’t have a newtenant coming in on the same day, sometimes she can accommodate. Please message me and ask me first. Thank you!
All guests must be at least 24 years of age.
Enjoy all that Acadia National Park has to offer!! Don't forget that September and October are two of the best months in Acadia as well! No crowds...just beautiful fall weather and gorgeous scenery.We are a short distance to all the natural beauty that is Acadia, and there is no time like the fall for hiking. We are located on what is known on the island of Mount Desert on the 'Quiet Side'. We are away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.. Relax on our patio and enjoy the garden.
The quaint village of Southwest Harbor is nearby. Take the nearby ferries to all the surrounding islands. Some of Acadia's easiest and most beautiful hikes are a short distance away.

    The property was exactly as pictured. The communication with Leslie was excellent and the check in process was easy. We loved the location out of busy Bar Harbor and enjoyed the lovely outdoor garden area. The fully stocked kitchen was excellent making it easy to cook the wonderful lobsters we bought at Parson’s lobster house.

    The cottage was in excellent shape and very well stocked. The location was great for our plans at Acadia National Park and was within 20-30 minutes to Bar Harbor. There were several good restaurants close by with great food and Bass harbor is very close to the cottage. We really enjoyed being away from the busyness of Bar Harbor but having it close enough that you can drive over in 30 minutes with no problem. The instructions to get to the cabin were perfect and just about any question you have will be answered by them so read them carefully. If the question isn’t answered by the instructions there is probably a sticky note well positioned to answer it.

    10/10 I cannot recommend this property more. Leslie and her husband were fantastic hosts. Even mailing home a pair of jeans I mistakenly left behind.The place was nice and clean with a full kitchen, including a French press for the coffee enthusiasts, and assortment of movies as well as smart TV.The Wi-Fi is enough to doomscroll if you get rained in. Which if you don't have T-Mobile you will not have any service on the island. So it's nice to be able to access messaging at the property. You're staying in a National Park. So nature is what you're going to get. Every morning we watched a group of deer cross through the front yard. There is a bug net on the front door but nothing is perfect and you will find some insects during your stay. Nothing more than a fly or a ladybug here and there though.Leslie made sure to give us all of the information we needed to be comfortable during our stay upon booking and even directions to the property.Make sure to back in. The road isn't super busy but there is a blind hill next to the drive that makes backing out a bit tricky.

    The cottage was clean, complete, and quiet. We had 3 days of park walking, hiking, and cycling and what a treat to come back to a cozy, quiet and very functional home. We walked out the door to adventures in town and on the Bass Garbor side while easily driving to the other park areas. We would happily seat again!

    Loved being on the quiet side of Acadia. Leslie was amazing. So thorough and communicative! She went out of her way to be sure check in went well and we were enjoying our stay. The cottage is cozy and quite comfortable. We would do it again - enjoyed having access to the bikes.

    Loved this little cottage! Such a beautiful spot steps from the water. Surrounded by a lovely garden filled with humming birds. Has everthing you could possibly need and more. Communication could not have been better. We really enjoyed our stay. Bikes were a huge bonus! Thank you for sharing your home.

    This cottage in Bass Harbor is perfect! Minutes to Acadia park with bikes to ride the carriage trails (make sure your vehicle/rental can fit them, it's a little dangerous to ride on the road). It's quiet and private with a great patio and garden. The kitchen has everything you need, Leslie is a helpful and responsive host!

    Leslie’s garden cottage was a peaceful and pleasant place to stay while we visited Acadia. We enjoyed spending time in the garden amongst the hummingbirds when we weren’t hiking. Leslie’s check in/out instructions were very clear and she was a text away if we needed anything. There are several ANP trails only minutes away from the cottage, including the Bass Harbor lighthouse which we visited at sunset. The bedroom was cozy and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics. Would recommend!

    Leslie and her partner’s property exceeded expectations. The home was exactly what we needed for our one-week stay to Maine, specifically to visit Acadia National Park and use our boat. LOCATION: The property is in a more quiet location, perfect for our enjoyment of calmer evenings, off the road and away from Bar Harbor crowds, yet still 30 minutes max from everything. There’s even a gas station a short distance away which came in clutch many times.PROPERTY: The home itself is beautiful, boasting a lovely garden with bird feeders, a table and fire pit, with the ocean nearby. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed and the bedroom, bathroom and TV areas were so cozy and accommodating. The check-in/out process was super easy and Leslie was ABOVE & BEYOND when we had any questions.HIGHLY RECOMMEND 12/10! Thank you!

    The property is quiet and beautifully kept. I loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the sounds of birds and watching the bees pollinate the flowers nearby. It was so peaceful. The house had all things you’d need and was cozy and comfortable. The location was fantastic for beautiful nearby trails and it was the only about 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. We had a wonderful week and loved our visit!
