A private getaway by the sea with ocean views and close to town.

My 3 sisters and I stayed here for our annual Acadia hiking week…the house was just as pictured on the website - many wonderful spaces in which to relax/connect: cozy living room w fireplace, outdoor deck with nearby ocean views, screened-in porch w woods on 3 sides, fully stocked kitchen…short walk to the coast and downtown Southwest Harbor also appreciated…

Once again we had a great stay.Very confortable, and love the location.Look forward to next year.Jerry

The house is in a fantastic location, just a short walk into town. Its setting is very peaceful—we loved starting our mornings with breakfast while watching deer and foxes pass by. The home feels quiet and secluded, yet it’s perfectly situated for exploring Acadia and the rest of Mount Desert Island. The newly renovated kitchen was well organized and stocked with everything we needed. The owner was thoughtful, responsive, and made our stay exceptionally comfortable. We would highly recommend this home and are already looking forward to returning.

Jessica’s house was in a great location for a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. They could walk to town and get ice cream, we could walk along the water, down to the Claremont for a cocktail and across the causeway really easily! The pictures do not do this place justice! The kitchen is gorgeous and the master bedroom and bathroom have all been updated and are incredibly comfortable. While the 2 bedrooms upstairs are older, they were great for kids who were too tired from the day’s activities to simply crash. We look forward to coming back next summer!

Extended family stayed here for a week. It’s an older home, but well maintained with an updated kictchen and master. Enjoyed being in the woods but also had a view of ocean from front porch. This house is a winner

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Spruce Cottage. Many very nice upgrades have been made - kitchen, laundry, master bath. The two upstairs bedrooms have a distinctly rustic feel. The house was very clean and Jessica was helpful throughout our stay. Location is terrific. As of mid-June, 2024, there is a considerable amount of construction noise during the weekdays, as two homes abutting the property are being constructed / renovated.

Spruce cottage exceeded our expectations! It is a lovely home in a peaceful location and has everything you might need for a lovely vacation. I would highly recommend staying here to family and friends and we hope to return !

We enjoyed our three weeks at the Spruce Cottage in late May and early June before the tourist season peaks! The weather was cool and great for outdoor walks. The house is amazing with a newly remodeled kitchen outfitted with all the equipment to cook anything you want. There is an outdoor grill on the new deck off the kitchen with a new outdoor screened porch. The home is within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in Southwest Harbor and to the causeway. There is a view of the ocean and it is lovely to sit on the original deck off the living/dining room. This was our second stay here and we hope to return many more times. We love staying on the quiet side of Mount Mount Desert Island and its easy access to Acadia.

Great location, quiet rental. Spacious master bed and bath on first floor. Private and enjoyed being so close to the lobster pound. Would stay again.

I traveled to Maine with my spouse and 3 family members. The house was perfect for our trip. It was close to Acadia, Bangor, Bar Harbor and a few other places we visited. There was plenty of room to build puzzles, read, and relax. Jessica responded quickly to every question we had. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay in this area.
