Charming Cottage in Maine

We had a wonderful stay at Barbara's cottage. It's picturesque setting with a view of Cadillac Mountain and humming birds visiting feeders on the deck was perfect for our vacation week. The cottage itself is adorable with beautiful pine floors and accents that give a warm feeling of relaxed rustic living. So grateful we found this gem. Thank you!

Great property! Beautiful area. Clean and comfy! Host and property manager were very responsive to any and all questions.

Clean. Quiet. Good communication. Nice deck. We had a mama deer and her two little ones visit several times. Barbara gave us great directions but if possible we would recommend trying to get there for the first time while it is still light. Very nice stay!

Remote location with scenery and wildlife.

We love the cottage. It's well-maintained and an easy drive to Blue Hill and Ellsworth. Deer and wild turkeys occasionally emerge from the nearby woods, and the hummingbird feeders are always busy.

The home was charming. I loved the view from the kitchen window. We stayed at the beginning of the busy season for Acadia and looked forward to coming home each night. Our hosts were instantly responsive when we had a question. I recommend taking a walk to the nearby nature preserve as suggested by the owner.

Our family spent 5 nights at this lovely cottage in Surry. We hiked Blue Hill and Acadia, explored Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, and loved having this warm, inviting property to come home to. We would definitely rent again.

What a gem of a fantastic place to stay! We have stayed at a variety of VRBOs over the past several years (all enjoyable), but this one truly rises above as a great house to rent! - Clean - This is the cleanest and most comfortable home we've vacationed in. There is an extra level of everything being fresh and sanitized, and it was noticed. The house is beautiful, and also well stocked, well organized, and well set up to just come in feel at home for our stay. - Great Setting - Surry has the complete Maine coastal/inlet/scenic feel, and was close enough to larger grocery stores and shopping/eating areas to feel convenient too. It is an easy 40ish minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor, but also has some gorgeous natural areas to enjoy literally right down the street, as well as other nearby coastal and historic towns very worth exploring (which we learned about thanks to our host). The house is next to an arts community with that feel also being part of the experience, and the distant view of Acadia mountains plus regular sightings of deer and turkeys in the yard are a special treat. - Perfect Host - All of our interactions and communications with the owner were so very helpful, and above and beyond welcoming and gracious. Barbara and her team thought of everything, and shared so much helpful information about the home and things to enjoy in the area. We can't recommend Surry, this host, and this home highly enough! All around a super enjoyable/memorable Maine experience!

This cottage was a perfect place to stay to adventure around the Bar Harbor area. We spent the days out, and had the perfect spot to return to and relax for the evening.

Our stay was perfect. We were in town for business- anything and everything that we possibly could have needed was thought of and available. The cottage was super clean and we loved the family of deer that visited in the backyard. We will be back!

This is the fourth year in a row that we have rented the cottage, and we are looking forward to our visit here in 2025. We can't prove it, but we think the hummingbirds that come to the feeders recognize us.

Barbara’s cottage was perfect for our week away. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore Acadia, as well as Ellsworth and Deer Isle, while also being a little remote and an easy walk to a quiet “beach.” The cottage was clean and bright, with everything we needed for the week. The property manager was just a text away if had needed anything. We had daily visitors from deer and birds, which was wonderful. Would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful home in every way. Rustic yet modern decor. Wonderful amenities, including every conceivable kitchen appliance, utensil, dishware. Lovely deck, overlooking a trimmed lawn and natural field and trees. Super comfortable beds and charming bedrooms. Close to a lovely walking trail and not from a big supermarket in charming Blue Hills. And a super responsive property manager.

We had a wonderful time staying in Julia's Cabin. It was about 45 minutes to get to the Acadia and Bar Harbor area. Cabin was clean, had plenty of towels, kitchen was well stocked, and communication with the property owner and/or property manager was great. Check in was easy as the keys are in a lockbox at the property with a code provided a couple of days prior to our arrival. Surrounding area was quite nice with a nature area that has a trail to one of the bay areas really close by. If you don't mind a bit of a drive to Acadia, I highly recommend this cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay in in this wonderful cottage. It was spotless and comfortable and in a beautiful, quiet spot, a short walk to a preserve with awesome water views from the trail. The host and caretaker each communicated regularly to make sure all was well. A great place.

Extremely nice place to stay. Very clean and supplied with so many things. Would definitely rent again. Thank you for everything.
