Have spent many fall seasons at Acadia, but this accommodation was one of the best. The view was unparalleled, and when you’re stuck for a week due to Covid, the view is even more important! Our hosts were very responsive anytime we had a question. We had a power outage while on the island, and before we woke up, we had the necessary items to get us through that power outage. The cottage is outfitted very well, the kitchen has anything and everything you can need. Plenty of bathrooms, beautiful deck, and the surroundings were lovely. We will stay there again on our next visit! Thank you, Elean and family.

The property was as advertised. It is in a wonderful location, close to Acadia and Bar Harbor but far enough that it's fairly quiet. The house itself was in immaculate condition. It was nice to sit outside and look at fishing boats or the deer that wandered into the yard each night and morning.

My wife and l had a wonderful week here in this beautiful spot on the western side of Bass Harbor, where the sunsets are gorgeous and the kayaking couldn’t be better. Elean, the host is terrific. She went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.

Bottom line - we loved it! Everything was comfy and clean. We loved waking up and having coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The property is on the quieter side of MDI, but there was still so much to do! Ample supplies in the kitchen, but no dishwasher. We ate out a lot so we didnt have to wash too many dishes. At high tide we jumped off the wharf with our kids and had so much fun! Overall 5*!

This was just right for us. Quiet Side location on the water was so serene and relaxing. Enjoyed all the amenities, especially fire pit and roasting marshmallows in the evenings. Got some of the best sleep in ages - very quiet at night. Stones throw from SW Harbor and all there is to feast on there. Really appreciated being able to easily access Bar Harbor without having to be in the thick of it and related crowds. Hope to return soon.

Everything stated online is exactly what you get! The home itself is solidly built, energy efficient, comfortable and well planned for two couples at least to share the home. The separation by having living quarters downstairs and upstairs with both parties easily meeting in the dining room or tv lounge was excellent for privacy. Elena answered our questions and was never obtrusive. Scenery was beautiful. Ease to get to stores, restaurants and hikes were a plus. Great way to wind down and relax.
