'Rooster Cottage' Harborside - Built New 2022

Fantastic house with gorgeous views. This was a perfect place for our family vacation away from the Bar Harbor crowds but close enough to all Acadia has to offer. The kitchen had everything we needed. Best part was watching the sunrise over the harbor from the porch.

Beautiful views of the harbor, short easy drive to the SW Harbor Main Street, clean, comfortable, quiet, responsive communication from host. Would definitely stay again.

The location is perfect and the house provides a great base for exploring the area.

Loved reading on the sunny deck and watching the sailboats in the harbour. Home is close to the town of SW Harbor . The home was so comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Sad to leave!

Just returned from a fabulous vacation on Mt Desert Island. Rooster Cottage was just as described and provided us an excellent place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Southwest Harbor. Acadia National Park is a short drive from Rooster Cottage and is a “can’t miss” place to visit. You will not be disappointed in your stay at Rooster Cottage in Southwest Harbor, Maine!

Not a single thing wrong with this house, not the area, the furnishing, the beds, the bedding, not even the water pressure,… nothing. Book it. You will not be disappointed.

It was perfect along with the location! We had four adult friends stay. .., plenty of space, privacy and hot water!! We enjoy cooking together and that was fine too! Close to so many activities and the view! Amazing! We'll be back! Thank you!

This is our second visit to Rooster Cottage. The house is spacious and beautiful, with a cook’s kitchen, comfy beds and beautiful views across Southwest Harbor from the living room and upstairs bedrooms. Located away from the crowds of Bar Harbor, Rooster Cottage in the cute little village of Manset is near several sections of Acadia National Park on the the western half of Mt Desert Island and only half an hour from the stunning Park Loop Road. You can’t go wrong with this property.

Well equipped kitchen, great bathrooms, windows to watch activities the harbor, yet quiet enough to watch the rain approach and pass by. The deck was great both sun and shade available! We had a lovely time

This house was even better than the photos indicated. It has beautiful common spaces downstairs, and we appreciated the two en-suite king bedrooms upstairs. (Our group included two adult couples.) We loved sitting on the deck and watching the boats come and go in the harbor!

Great view over Southwest Harbor. Quiet and off the beaten path, but close enough to town to zip in for a meal at one of several excellent restaurants. Another good eating place is a short stroll away. There are nice walks in the Acadia National Park Seawall area close by. Flying Mountain trail, a 10 minute drive from the house is another of our favorites. There are 4 good lobster pounds within a 10 minute drive! We enjoyed using the fireplace on foggy evenings. The 2 king bedrooms with en-suite baths are spacious, comfortable & well ventilated. We found the kitchen & dining area nicely equipped for 4-6 people. We also loved the dock. The owners respond promptly to any questions or requests for repairs. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home well cared for. Great views, and very clean and maintained. My only negative is the kitchen needs more pans and utensils for someone who likes to cook. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful vacation home! Great location right on the harbor. The kids enjoyed the yard and it was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and all the top spots in Acadia. Very clean, spacious. We recommmend.

Rooster Cottage was the perfect place for our COVID-delayed trip to Acadia. It was spotlessly clean, and the two suite bedrooms upstairs served our needs to a tee. Sunrises over the harbor were gorgeous, and we loved taking walks in the evening around the neighborhood. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
