The covered front porch is another great spot to curl up with a good book, as you enjoy the peace and quiet of your surroundings. With the dining table for 6, it makes for a lovely semi-alfresco meal. The gas grill allows for fun and easy family barbecues.

    Fall in New England is magical. Perfect cottage getaway located very near the quaint downtown community of Southwest Harbor and close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Cottage had everything we needed for two couples. to have a relaxing stay. The host was fantastic! He gave clear instructions about the property, checked in with us, and even provided excellent recommendations on places to eat. Recommend very highly!

    Our visit to the Turnstone Cottage was great! The cottage was beautifully decorated, updated, and clean. The kitchen was small, but had everything necessary to make several meals for our small family. Jong provided wonderful communication and recommendations about checking in/out, restaurants, and things to do in the area. The location was quiet but close enough to many things to do, restaurants, and an easy 30 min drive to Bar Harbor. The master bed was very comfortable and our 1.5 year old slept great in her crib in the guest bedroom. We unfortunately had an issue with the washing machine being dirty, which interrupted one night of our vacation. Jong was responsive to this issue and indicated that it would be resolved for future guests. Overall, I would highly recommend a stay here!

    My husband and I loved staying at Turnstone Cottage during our honeymoon. We were greeted with a lovely welcome basket and special note, and Jong was extremely attentive and responsive throughout our stay. It was in a great location for us to enjoy Acadia and neighboring areas without the crowds. Southwest Harbor is a charming, little town, and we couldn’t be happier with our stay. The property is beautiful. We adored the artwork, yoga station, incredible smelling lavender sage soap, comfy beds, and the beautiful interior overall. We definitely recommend staying here if you’re thinking about it! Make sure to sit on the patio at night. The stargazing is amazing!

    We just returned from spending 5 wonderful days at this amazing property in the quaint town of Southwest Harbor. Comfy beds, fluffy towels, heated bathroom floors, well appointed furnishings and decorations were just some of the luxuries of this property. Our host quickly responded to our questions and offered many suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the area. It was an easy drive to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed being a short drive away, but also being 'away' from the crowds. Unbeknownst to us, we were also within a 5 minutes drive of the famous Bass Harbor Lighthouse... which we visited 3 times and witnessed beautiful sunrises! Several hiking trailheads can also be found within a short drive, offering great morning hikes. Check out Acadia Mountain, Flying Mountain, Ships Harbor Trail and Wonderland Trail to name a few. We cannot recommend Turnstone Cottage highly enough. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
