We absolutely loved our stay at Tricia’s property! The home was clean and had everything we needed. The view was even more than we expected. Having access to our own beach and kayaks was such a special treat and the star gazing at night was an unexpected bonus! Being on the “quiet side” of the island definitely came with some perks! Tricia, was so easy to communicate with. She even scrounged up a high chair for our baby so we didn’t have to fly with ours. It was a joy to stay here!

Great location on the quieter side of the island but drivable to more popular areas. Beautiful overlooking the water and nice to have our own private water access. Host was very responsive and gave good suggestions. We felt comfortable and welcomed - our home away from home for the week!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay here. Highlights were the beautiful view from the back deck and the hospitality of our host- Tricia went out of her way to make sure our needs were met throughout our stay. Would highly recommend booking!

We loved it here!
The property was perfect for our family of 4. It was very clean, with enough space for 4-5 ppl. Kitchen was well stocked with supplies and the bathroom had plenty of towels. Tricia (the owner) was easy and quick with her communication. The check-in and check-out process were a breeze. The view from the deck is stunning.
The property is close to Echo Lake and Acadia Mountain and not far from Park Loop Rd. You need a car to stay here if you're planning to explore Acadia. We would stay here again.
And as a bonus - we were able to buy lobster straight from Tricia and cook them ourselves!

Property was in a great location with easy access to all things Acadia. Patio was most amazing thing about the house. Perfect view for AM coffee and evening dinners. If you forget anything, it seemed like the home owner had thought of it and it was available at the house. Bug spray, sunscreen, laundry supplies, anything. Whenever I get back to Acadia, I plan to stay here again.

Quiet side
Clean, cozy well-stocked house on the quiet side of MDI. Beautiful ocean views from the back deck, but the house is not quite waterfront and there is an active working boat launch. Tricia was very responsive and helpful. One of the highlights was the fresh lobsters caught and delivered to the house by the host. Having an outdoor firepit would have been plus. Close to SW Harbor but 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor. Overall enjoyed the stay.

Quiet area. Beautiful view. Clean house.
Beautiful house, gorgeous view, quiet/peaceful, and clean / well stocked house. Tricia was very friendly and always quick to respond to any questions through out the booking process. The house was so clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner every night. They provided linens/ toilet paper/ paper towels and even had TUMs in the bathroom. The house was about 40 minutes from Park Loop Road at Acadia. There were plenty of scenic trails that were less than 15 minutes from the house that we enjoyed (bass harbor light house, ship harbor trail, wonderland trail, flying mountain trail, and valley peak trail). Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful escape and a place to relax/ enjoy the scenic water views after an eventful day at Acadia National Park.

MDI Vacation
We had a great stay at Duck Cove Cottage. Was a perfect destination for exploring the quiet side of MDI. Very close to Bass Harbor Lighthouse and the Wonderland and Ship Harbor Acadia Trails which were all fantastic.
