Stayed Oct 17, 2025We always enjoy being on the Quietside of MDI. We chose this property due to its proximity to the finish line of the fall MDI marathon. We could not have been happier with our stay at Golden Cove Cottage! It was very comfortable and well equiped with all the comforts of home. You can tell the host take great pride in, and good care of, their home and we appreciate them sharing it with us. We also enjoyed their beautiful photography of many of the special spots around MDI. We are especially grateful for a host who welcomes our dogs as they always travel with us as part of the pack. We cherish our visits to Acadia National Park and all it has to offer. During our stay at Golden Cove Cottage, we were very happy to discover a new running route between Long Pond and Echo Lake via Lurvey Spring Road, it was so peaceful and beautiful in all of its fall glory. We had a wonderful stay, thank you!

Stayed Oct 26, 2024The house was perfect for what we were looking for as a family of 4 with two small children. The house is tucked away, but not too far from the places we wanted to explore. It's clean, cozy, and it has plenty of amenities. The beds are extremely comfortable (firm, not too squashy). It truly felt like a home away from home. The doors and trim are pure wood, and I love the fresh scent. The house looks small from the outside, but it's actually very roomy inside. The layout is exactly what we would want if purchasing a ranch style home. The fireplace is a nice touch to a living room that has comfy, reclining leather sofas and a large TV. The office/laundry area is a bonus. I found myself frequenting there when I needed a quiet moment to browse the internet or while washing and drying our clothes. The only disappointment was that the fire pit had been removed. I understand the reason why, but I wish we had been notified beforehand. We were really looking forward to using it during our stay. Overall, we love this house and would like to visit again!

Stayed Sep 21, 2024We enjoyed our stay! Pictures of bedroom with twin beds was deceiving, room was much smaller than picture. Beds were comfy, kitchen stocked, but all the knives were dull. Ceiling fans need cleaned. Nice to have laundry area and dishwasher. Was not sure about recycling, we took it a recycle place nearby. Bar Harbor is the cutest town, a must see, especially the Bar Harbor Whale watching, we saw about 15 whales, eating and playing, it was amazing! I would rent this place again, was quiet and private, close to Acadia Park, Cadillac mountain for sunset was beautiful!

Stayed Aug 17, 2024Clean well outfitted place and convenient location for our needs. Street a bit busy and noisy for those wanting a quiet out of the way locale. Gas fire pit was rusted and tank connection should be checked for leak as noted gas odor when tank valve was opened so did not use.

Stayed Aug 10, 2024Where do I start when talking about the golden cove cottage? This place has everything you need! From games to utensils to cleaning materials! Even treats for your pet! It is impeccably clean! The beds are beyond comfy! The couches that recline in the family room add to the comfort! The living space is huge! Our family time was spent there making meals together, playing guitars by the fire pit, game nights and movie nights! It provided the entertainment as well! Our beagle mix was super comfy there as well! Okay now as for the location…you can’t beat it! In quiet Southwest Harbor you can’t go wrong! A skip away from shops and restaurants! Oh…forgot to mention the treats when we arrived! Blueberry jam and blueberry soda! Such a sweet surprise! Other perks: food store is close by, natural water spring across the street that we used daily, hiking and lakes nearby, not a far trip to Bar Harbor, and it is super quiet! If we needed help with anything, we got answers right away from the agent/owner! We will definitely be back!

Stayed Jun 22, 2024This home was perfect for our family of 6 adults. We found it to be just as advertised. There was plenty of space, cozy beds, a well equipped kitchen, and supplied with all the essentials. The drive from Southwest Harbor to the main areas of the park is easy, but does take 20-30 mins. There are some nice hikes nearby and good restaurants in Southwest Harbor too. Overall we loved our stay here and would recommend this home to others.

Stayed Jun 10, 2024We were a group of (4), ages 73, 60, 43 and 12. Golden Cove Cottage was perfect for us! The location is convenient and close to groceries, drug store, restaurants and cafes. Just a short drive to the Bar Harbor and the main parts of Acadia National Park. The property is immaculate, well stocked with everything you need, and extremely comfortable. Other reviewers commented on the home being located on a very busy road - we did not find that to be an issue. Check in was smooth (slight mix up on the lock code, but it was corrected in minutes). There was no issues that required management assistance. We highly recommend this property and hope to return.
