The cottage is well furnished with up to date equipment. I arrived during a snow storm and left on a sunny and windy day. All very exciting especially since the cottage is well insulated and the heating system works well ##### Joseph F. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donna S. Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous get-away What a little gem! My husband and I arrived just before dusk and were greeted by the welcoming committee of deer on the drive in. The eagle on the shore the morning we left was a bonus. The cottage is exactly as described and exactly what we were looking for for our weekend getaway. It is a perfect place to relax while still being able to explore the region with the cottage as a home base. Brice was responsive and accommodating. We couldn't ask for anything more. We plan on returning next year! ##### Donna S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KRISTI & BYRON B. Sep 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 5-star private harbor house near Acadia As VRBO owners ourselves, we have high standards and were wowed!!! We had an incredible stay at this beautifully well-designed Scandanavian home! Newly renovated, spotlessly clean, and spacious. It is located directly on Bass Harbor waterfront to enjoy spectacular sunsets with your favorite beverage or watch the boats over coffee from Adirondack chairs. It was so relaxing to come “home” after sightseeing & hiking in Acadia. The host, Brice has thought of everything - a fully stocked kitchen including kurig, bath with nice towels, shampoo/conditioner & soap, picnic table & grill to dine outside. His communication was friendly & clear, with easy to follow instructions. The attention to details shows that he truly cares about providing an outstanding experience! The house is in an area described by locals as the “Quiet Side”, away from heavy tourist areas. For those seeking privacy but great access to Acadia, you just found it! We loved being on a private dead end and seeing deer in the driveway, and watching the moonlight dance on the water each night! Highly recommended for honeymoon, anniversary, or romantic getaway!!! Thanks Brice for our 5-star experience! We can’t wait to return next year! ##### KRISTI & BYRON B.
