    This is our 3rd stay at Crosby. We love the location, the quiet and the antique rustic charm. The cabin was super clean at our arrival. I did contact the property manager with a question about the garbage and she answered right away. I’d recommend anyone planning to stay to review the location and the photos.we find it close enough to Acadia, but it’s about a 40 minute drive so take that into consideration. This is a more rustic cabin, but the couch, bed and dining table are comfortable and the linens are soft and fresh. Highly recommend. Coffee by the water across the road is pure serenity!

    Our family of four (plus grandma!) enjoyed a week at the cottage in the woods. Close enough to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor for day trips, but we spent plenty of time at the private beach and enjoying the quiet relaxation of the peninsula. The sun room is a great reading location and we were fortunate enough to coincide our visit with the opening of the rhododendrons just outside the cottage. The sunsets on the beach were fantastic. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a scenic, quiet, relaxed vacation. The cottage was well stocked and clean when we arrived. The dishwasher made cleanup for meals a snap, and the 2nd toilet (1/2 bathroom) was especially useful with 5 or us visiting for the week.

    This was the perfect cottage for our get-away. It was clean and quiet, and the beach was a very short walk away. We visited Acadia, Bar Harbor and several nature reserves. Definitely would stay here again.

    This is my second stay at this cabin and it is perfect for those who wish to escape the noise of bar harbor. It is a rustic little cottage with a nice kitchenette. We cooked one meal here and had everything we needed. The extra blankets came in handy on our last day. It is in a very quiet location with a lot of wildlife. The beach access is very cute and easy to walk to. We watched lobster boats check their traps, cruise ships sail into the harbor, a lot of various birds, other creatures we weren't certain of.. Maybe otters and porpoises. You can see Mount desert Island from shore and it is so serene. It's a great cabin for pets. My dogs loved the yard and although we saw skunks and porcupines we never had issues. My husband was able to enjoy sleeping in while my dad and I hunted for sea glass on the beach. What a lovely location.

    This was our second stay at Crosby Cottage and it truly felt like returning home. The cottage is cozy and charming and the location is perfect. Jane and Michelle were both accommodating and responsive and we truly appreciated that. Hancock Point is a slice of heaven and it is a place we made wonderful memories with our kids and hope to return someday.

    The property was beautiful and extremely quiet and private which is what we were looking for as we were traveling with our dog. We loved having the private beach across the street from us. It was just as described, right around the corner from our cabin. Was perfect for us and our dog likes to swim so that was a plus. We also found water front places to drive to that were about 20 minutes away. Bar Harbor was a 40 minute drive. If your looking for a very peaceful stay without the crowds this would be an excellent place. The caretaker was great and let us know that she was available if we needed her.

    This is a secluded cabin in the woods with access to the water across the street. You can see the cruise ships visiting Bar Harbor anchored from the beach access. It is approximately 40-45 minute drive into Bar Harbor so we did a lot of driving back and forth. We also visited Bangor and a couple of wineries.

    We stayed a week within a 5 minute walk of family and friends. The cabin, nestled in the woods, gives us true privacy, and the glass & screened in porch is wonderful place to read, entertain, and enjoy all the sounds of nature. Plenty of room and privacy for the five of us and an excellent layout for bedrooms, living & dining room, and kitchen. We stayed here before and the hosts are wonderful.
