About 20 min to Winter Harbor, Schoodic Point, Hancock Point, Lamoine, approx 20-25 min to Mt Desert Island & Visitor Ctr, another 10 min from beginning of island- all depending on traffic-to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain. So many places to stop along coast, tons of cute towns, art, antique shops along route 1... This isn’t just a sterile rental setup quickly to bang out fast cash. It’s our family home so it’s furnished just the way we like it, we rent it so we can afford to pay the bills. It’s an old house, not a fancy house, but to me & most people a very cozy & magical house. I want to reiterate that this is our house, it is old, it’s quirky, we LOVE it but it’s not perfect in every single way. If you’re looking for perfect or modern please go to the the Ritz Carlton where you can expect perfection & demand a refund if you aren’t getting it. I’m not striving for perfection here, my goal is a cozy, comfy, peaceful escape from the world. The windows are old held open by old fashioned window sticks & I don’t want to update them for convenience. I love the old windows, etc. I have a few fans & now 2 new air conditioners to use if you wish but the house is not a brand new, fully air- conditioned, modern house with every modern convenience. For me it’s about nature, simplicity, peace & quiet. It’s about a different way of life. It’s not the touristy trap of Bar Harbor. It’s the real down east Maine and Iove it! If that’s what you’re looking for then you’ve found it. However, the kitchen is fully stocked & very easy to cook in, there’s a microwave, toaster, blender, pretty much every appliance. Smart TVs upstairs & down. The kitchen & baths are updated & all appliances are new. Beds & bedding are new, clean & comfy. \*PETS\* i don’t particularly want dogs in the house -as the homeowner as it’s more wear an tear & extra cleaning, BUT I understand that we love our pet children & want them with us on vacation. There is an additional pet fee because I like to keep the house extremely clean & it takes my housecleaner a couple of more hours to clean after dogs have come. A few people have snuck in dogs & then I need to spend extra hours & money on cleaning which is not fair. I’ll send you double the cleaning bill if you choose to sneak your dog in without registering them & paying the pet fee which helps pay the cleaning bill & is also necessary for the insurance policy if your dog happens to destroy something. Please reg your pet & pay in advance. 🙏🏻 Or use zelle or PayPal if you wish to avoid Vrbo taxes and fees. Please don’t steal-Most people have been lovely but a few people think it’s OK to take whatever they want-those people were charged and the police were called. Please don’t do that. This is my home & I’m trying to make it nice for you. Im renting it out so my kids & I have the opportunity to keep my great-grandmother‘s house in the family. Please be gentle & thoughtful & be a good person. \* Please note there are 2 sets of stairs. Please only use the main stair case. Back stairs are for emergencies only -such as a fire \* Thanks for agreeing to these basic rules. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Luxury Cabin with Hot Tub | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103850000/103844300/103844226/90550d08.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hinckleys Dreamwood Cottages Bar Harbor - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 7.4 Good 89 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=103844226&PinnedHotelID=103844226&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Building design](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/107000000/106995700/106995651/4a27de9f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stone Park Ellsworth - Pool - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.2 Wonderful 185 reviews CA $263 CA $287 total includes taxes & fees Nov 5 - Nov 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-05&endDate=2025-11-06&selected=106995651&PinnedHotelID=106995651&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114160000/114154100/114154058/a8ac0930.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Eden Village Cottage 6 in Bar Harbor, minutes to Acadia & Downtown, Sleeps 6.

Worked well for going to the coast or in to Ellsworth. Fun colorful touches throughout the house with the pans and appliances in the kitchen, nic nacs throughout the house, and generally cheerful sense to the house. Very clean. Warm during the day and night without us changing any settings of the heat. We were 2 couples, so one couple was in single beds, but that worked out fine in our group.

Everything I read was so innacurate compared to our experience. We had the most wonderful visit at the most lovely house. You can really tell the owner cherishes this property and we felt honored to enjoy a bit of the homes history this week. The house is definitely dated, but that only added to the charm. It really did have all the modern amenities i could have asked for. The wifi was good, beds were comfy and the water pressure was pretty decent. The owner was a fantastic host who made this such an enjoyable stay. 10/10! ##### Corey E. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer P. Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Overall nice, but a few hiccups. My friends and I were excited to stay in this charming home. Unfortunately, there were a few things and incidents that did leave a bit of a damper to our stay. 1) We were a group of 8 and there was only one shower that did not drain properly. We informed the owners about this and were told to use the Draino under the sink. We did, but it had no result. She informed us it always drains slow that’s just how it is. Luckily we had a friend who was willing to spend the time while on vacation to fish the drain and get another gallon of hair remover solution to clear the clog and fix it. 2) There are amenities shown on the listing page but when we arrived the place was not as advertised. The AC window unit was only for the first floor. At night, while the temperature is 60-70 the rooms can still get pretty hot and stuffy. We tried to open the windows, but several of the bug screens didn't fit, so we had to deal with mosquitos, spiders and moths. The space advertised that there was a grill on the premises, when we didn’t find one, we reached out to the host and were told that the grill was the little fire pit outside, the “front yard fireplace” as seen in the photos. 3) The kitchen utensils could use some updating. Many of the kitchen tools were very rusty and not safe to use. Others like the Keurig machine only worked when double the amount of water was used. Overall, this is a cute/nice house but to use the house’s age as an excuse to these problems did leave us w/ a bad taste. ##### Jennifer P.

The home itself is very cozy. The master bedroom with King sized bed is super comfortable with the bonus of a flat screened tv on the wall. While this home is about 45 mins to an hour from Bar Harbor, we loved staying in a quiet area with very little traffic. Holly's home is located on a long flat road that my husband enjoyed running on without having to worry about traffic. Holly was a great host, providing information via VRBO and in her home regarding local establishments for us to check out. I also want to mention that Holly's home is located close to Winter Harbor (a less crowded area of Acadia). I would have never known this if Holly didn't mention it. This is a must see as well. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7b9f4199-dd71-4bf2-84f2-0c29f5d23705-1751545340629.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren C.

There was a lot of charm and character and the remoteness was what we needed to recover from the busy holiday season. Holly was a gracious host who communicated well and offered helpful suggestions for things to do. Our kids have had some disappointing winters recently, so having them spend some time outside in the snow and then come back inside to a warm, cozy home was well worth the 10-hour drive.

The beds were comfortable and the the rooms and home were clean. We did have two small issues while there. One was the fire and smoke alarms. Had batteries that needed replacement. We went and purchased new batteries for the smoke alarms that were chirping and woke up one of our guests. When we asked the owner for reimbursement for the $8, she did not provide any any which was frustrating considering we are performing maintenance on her property as guests. ##### Josh p.

The owner communicated easily, regularly and clearly with us through the VRBO app. The home was well equipped, and had everything we needed. The home is relatively close to Bar Harbor (about 35 minutes by car) and to Acadia National Park (roughly 40 minutes). Dining and shopping near the home are somewhat limited, although we did find some places we liked a lot. We enjoyed exploring the towns of Ellsworth (20 minutes) and Hancock (15 minutes), which were both quaint, un crowded, and thoroughly tourist-friendly. ##### Richelle M.

We were able to commute easily to Acadia while there. ##### Hari S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim D.

The house and grounds are beautiful and the location is quiet - but convenient to all the beauty, hiking, kayaking etc.. offered in the Acadia area, Beds were comfortable, communication with Holly was spot on and everything was as advertised. Looking forward to our next stay at our new home away from home as our daughter, son-in-law and grandaughter also live in Franklin. Thank you Holly!!! ##### Kim D.

Holly was very communicative and I found her description quite an accurate one. Apple maps takes you to the other end of the road, so don't be surprised if you have to drive a few extra miles to find the address! Enjoy! ##### Sarah W.

There was Duncan’s nearby for groceries and a sandwich, and located close to Ellsworth for restaurants . It was about 45 minutes to the park but what a beautiful relaxing drive! The mattresses and pillows were great and we all slept like babies after our hikes, sight and lobster feasting! Stay here- you’ll have a good time! ##### Chantal E.

Holly was an incredible host! She was so communicative and helpful when we had a problem with the hot water. Her house is charming and perfect for a friends trip. It’s very well equipped and has everything you could need. The beds were so comfortable and the decor was great. We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend it! ##### Alyse L.

It was spacious enough for our family of 7 and so comfortable and sweet! It was minutes from Tidal Falls which our family loved! We drove into Bar Harbor/Acadia several times and it was an easy drive. We loved our stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us! ##### amy m.
