Beautiful vacation home. Had an extremely well stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor deck. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay. It was an easy spot to explore Mount Desert Island from. I would highly recommend this rental. Jean had everything set up for us and was easy to communicate with.

Nice quiet spot tucked away in the privacy of a wooded lot. The landscaping and fire pit add to the relaxing atmosphere. Owners were very responsive and left a wonderful welcome gift. Easy check-in / check-out. Short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Enjoyed our stay.

My adult family enjoyed our week-long stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable in a convenient, yet private location. Beautiful, thoroughly maintained backyard, with a deck and also a fire pit with chairs. Good communication. Jean responded quickly to messages and stopped by for yard maintenance

Our grouped loved this property, and we would most definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area. Quiet, well-equipped and very comfortable. All of the previous praises are well-deserved.

We had a great experience staying at Moss Mountain Cottage. Everything was very clean and organized and any questions that we had were outlined in a great binder that Jean provided along with brochures and ideas of things to do during our stay. House was super cozy and it made everything super convenient! Definitely felt like a home away from home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moss Mt. Cottage. The property was by far the cleanest and best equipped we’ve stayed at. Jean was the perfect host, answering our questions and making sure we were comfortable even during a power outage. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return!

This is one of the most well equipped homes I’ve stayed in. Jean has thought of everything you could need. It’s a very comfortable place and feels more like home than a rental. Jean is great to work with. The location is very convenient. It’s close to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

We had a wonderful stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was spacious, and it had air conditioning! We appreciated that it was quiet and secluded off the road in a beautiful wooded area. The location was great for exploring the island - easy to get to Bar Harbor, to hiking in Acadia and to the "quiet side" of the island. A bonus is that it is minutes away from our favorite lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster.

The house feels a lot bigger than how it looks from website. It’s beautiful and well stocked and has everything we need. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. we really enjoyed our stay. The owner Jean is so kind, she goes out of the way to make sure the house is in the best condition and her guests are comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a safe, clean, friendly place to stay in Acadia.

We were so lucky to have chosen this cottage for our week long stay in Maine. It's very clean, quiet and we felt very safe staying here during times of COVID. The owners were very thoughtful to provide such a well stocked home for their guests. The king bed was very comfortable and there were nice towels for the bath. Jean provided great communication during our stay. We highly recommend Moss Mountain Cottage for your Maine vacation.

The beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with cookware and pantry items which makes it easy to cook and eat meals at home, which was our preference during Covid. Backyard is quiet with we enjoyed making a fire and watching the stars. It seems like everything on MDI is an easy drive from Moss Mountain Cottage! We explored hiking trails and beaches during the day.

We spent a wonderful week at Moss Mountain Cottage. Jean is a perfect host, the house has everything you could need and many things you never even would have thought about having. It was an ideal location for our adventures in and around Mount Desert Island - Arcadia and Bar Harbor are just minutes away. It's an hour drive from Bangor airport, easy to find yet feels private and secluded. We spent more time in the house than on other vacations because it was so comfortable and homey. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area!

Jean- thank you for renting us your cottage. It was so beautiful! The beds were comfortable and the cottage was so relaxing to stay. You were extremely attentive to all of my questions about the area and with giving me recommendations on where to go. The welcome basket was beautiful and the homemade jam is so tasty! Moss Mountain Cottage is extremely homey and I would 100% rent again if I make it up to Maine in the future.

Moss Mountain Cottage was perfect for my husband, myself and our two teenage children - who were happy to each have their own bedroom. The owner has stocked the cottage with all the comforts of home. The cottage was large enough for each of us to have our own space, yet gather together if we wanted. We enjoyed the seclusion of the location. It is set away from the road and surrounded by a copse of birch and evergreens.

Jean and Bill provided one of the nicest, neatest, and best supplied cottages that I have rented through VRBO/Home Away. The cottage is very tastefully decorated, but still comfortable and homey. There are plenty of supplies that are so helpful to guests staying for a few days or more. Clear explanations are left for guests to locate items, or how to operate devices. All the detail certainly helped to make our stay very pleasant and enjoyable. The area of the cottage is quiet, which is a plus, though everything, Bar Harbor and Acadia are very close by. I would definitely return to Moss Cottage again.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked this property last minute without too much research, but it was perfect for what we needed. We traveled with a 1 year old, a 3 year old and 3 adults. There is a bedroom with two beds and a pack and play which was perfect for the kids. It was easy to get to and check in, and there was everything there you might need to cooking, clean-up, and they even left us some toys to play with for the kids. They also left us some cute gifts and a note which was appreciated, and plenty of information.

My teenage daughter and I rented Moss Mountain Cottage for a quick mother-daughter trip. This was our first time to the area, to Acadia National Park, and to Maine and we were not disappointed. Jean was beyond helpful. She was in touch, but never invasive. She gave great suggestions for places to visit, trails to hike and favorite restaurants. The cottage was clean and very well-equipped. We had everything we needed to make our selves at home, eat in, and enjoy a relaxing long weekend. I'd return again in a heartbeat!

The entire experience with our stay was excellent! Jean was the most communicative and responsive host we have encountered. She went out of her way to make sure we were prepared for our trip and helped us find kayak rentals before we arrived, gave us great suggestions for eating and activities, and even made sure we knew how to work the A/C before the hot weather arrived. The cottage was spotless and had everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. We appreciated being away from the crowds, but only a short drive to Bar Harbor or Southwest Harbor. Even with some challenging weather, it made for a very comfortable week and we would eagerly return or recommend to friends and family. Thank you, Jean and Bill - we hope to see you again!
