The accommodations and amenities were clean, up to date and well equipped. With a SHORT walk to the private shoreline, it was the perfect place to relax, getaway while still having easy access to everything Acadia has to offer.

The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The rooms were not big, but perfect for 3 adults, who spent our days hiking and climbing. We ate all breakfasts and several diners there and the washer and dryer were easy to use. Kathleen was great and showed us the basics. I will stay there again. ##### Christine R.

It is located in a peaceful neighbourhood, and is at a couple minutes walk from the beach. We were travelling with little kids and Kathleen was a very accommodating and gracious host. She was always quick to respond to messages and even came in person at the time of our check in. The cabin decor is beautiful. It was clean and super cozy. It had everything we needed. It is about 45 minutes away from Acadia and less than 10 minutes from Bass harbour lighthouse. We would stay again. ##### Maida H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Therese R. Aug 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Trip to Acadia The cottage is somewhat tight quarters for 3 adult women. While it met our needs, the bathroom, especially the shower, is a bit small. The beds were all comfortable and there was sufficient closet space. We were very fortunate with great weather and so we spent very little time in the cottage. The living room is not really comfortable for lounging but that was not an issue for us. All points of interest were a reasonable drive — generally 10-40 minutes. ##### Therese R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl T.

We enjoyed our stay at Aldernest. 1/2 hr from the downtown Bar Harbor area, so not in the thick of things but not too far away. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed. We could have used a few more washcloths and hand towels for a ‘sleeps 4 people’, but we managed. I think the 6 pm check in time and a 9 am check out time is somewhat extreme, but again, we managed. Beautiful seating area down by the water, very quiet, be forewarned, bring bug spray! ##### Rosemary M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude C.

Beautiful, quiet location. And communication with Kathleen was very good and easy. Especially appreciated being away from the crowds after a full day of hiking. ##### Sergio O.
