Gem location
We were extremely pleased to have found this place and booked for a 4-night stay. It is about a 40min drive to Acadia National Park and initially we were a bit worried about the distance but quickly realized that the drive up and back was scenic, smooth and quite enjoyable. The view was incredible and our favorite spot was by the dining table where we could look out the window with the incredible view of the water. We also had a full moon one night and cracked open the window and heard the waves crystal clear as the moon reflected on the water. This is truly the quintessential New England cottage stay and we were so happy to have stayed there. The manager communications were prompt and easy when we needed assistance during the course of our stay. The Vrbo team was even more amazing as I had left two of my own pillows behind and they were more than happy to help retrieve them back for me and even shipped them back to me free of charge. I cannot overstate the amazing customer service level at Vrbo and it made this whole experience worthwhile.

Beauty on the bay
My hubby and I loved our peaceful stay on the water. The fall foliage was just coming out and the water birds, seals and boats were so fun to watch. Easy trip into Bar Harbor and Schoodic point. Plus - so much great food so close. We hope to be back again!

Quiet Cabin On the Bay
Great location away from the busy tourist areas of Bar Harbor, yet close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP and some off the beaten path places to eat...the local restaurant down the street is a rating of 5 out of 5 for food and service.

This wonderful cottage lived up to the recommendations that we had read on-line! The cottage was well equipped and stocked with everything that we needed. Communication with Susan, the property manager, was fantastic and very helpful. The views were outstanding! We watched seals every morning playing in front of the cottage. We also saw gulls, loons, eagles and cormorants! The beach area (not the typical sandy beach) was fun to explore! We found numerous shells and sea glass! We would return to stay here again and hope to do so in the future!

This is a great place to use as a relaxing home base to visit the Acadia area. The house is clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. The views are incredible and it is very quiet and peaceful. For a small family it is perfect.

Beautiful spot!
We had a magnificent time at the cottage. The property is just spectacular and the cottage is so cozy! View from every room, we felt like we were on a boat. Loved the post and beam and open concept and the knotty pine floors and walls. The kitchen is lovey and a joy to cook in. We fell in love with the area. Every morning walking along the water and enjoying the sights. The cottage was very clean and just a joy to be in. We look forward to our return trip!

The Perfect Spot for Our Annual Birthday Trip!
My adult daughter, my twin sister and myself plan a week long vacation every year to celebrate all of our birthdays. This stay was by far our favorite! We are all nature lovers and birders and were in heaven with all the critter sightings. We also love to cook and found the kitchen very well stocked with all we needed. We found ourselves not even wanting to run into town for groceries and would hurry back just to enjoy the surroundings.

Beautiful location! Wonderful cottage right on the water. Had everything we needed for our stay and was a great base for our daily outings. Carter's Beach right up the road was fun for exploring tide pools and hunting for seaglass. It put us closer for visiting Schoodic Peninsula, which was beautiful and very worth the trip. We were happy to stay at this gem of a property!
