    Our family had a wonderful stay at the Ripples Cottage! The location was perfect for our Acadia adventures and the home was comfortable and easy for us and our children. The kitchen had everything we needed, towels were abundant and nice quality and the entire place was spotless when we arrived. Thank you for a great stay- would rent again and highly recommend!

    Ripples Cottage was the perfect place for our trip to Acadia National Park. It is very close to everything in Acadia National Park. You can walk to Long Pond and go swimming or rent canoes or kayaks from the business right a cross the street. The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. The host was very responsive and even stopped by to meet us. I would highly recommend staying at Ripples Cottage.

    Ripples was a perfect cottage for our family. Bobbie was an amazing host. She provided everything we could possibly need. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels. The location was very quiet. We enjoyed fires in the evening, and the cottage was very comfortable for our family of 6. We would love to go back the next time we travel to Maine. I would highly recommend the Ripples to all my friends.

    We had a great week at Ripples cottage. It’s in a quiet neighborhood centrally located on MDI so very convenient to get all parts of the island. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. Host was very attentive and communication was quick.

    The Ripples cottage was very clean and the appliances were new. Beds were comfortable. Good Wi-Fi. Lots of windows to enjoy occasional visits by wild turkeys and deer. Quiet neighborhood, but close to villages and Acadia Park entrance. Over all nice place.

    Our week stay here at Ripples cottage, celebrating our Anniversaries, was absolutly Wonderful in every way! As we walked under the archway we entered into a relaxing, serendipitous, character filled, home away from home atmosphere! From the Picture painting wall of windowsin the kitchen/living room to the master bedroom with another spacious place to relax, this place was put together by an artistic eye as you'll see! The landscape was so pretty in the Spring with pretty azaleas under the gentle whispering pine trees and so much more! We loved hearing the owls and seeing the deer outback and wild turkeys along the quiet road we walked out front too. Making our meals and using all the new appliances was a joy as we celebrated our vacation here! Thank-you Bobbie for sharing this masterpiece with us on the quiet side of Acadia, we hope to come back some day!
