We had a great stay, it rained a lot during our stay but that didn’t stop us from exploring this beautiful area. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for, a cozy place to stay after busy days hiking.
The location was very convenient to access Acadia and Bar Harbor, it is well equipped, and perfect place to relax. We plan to come back.

My husband and I love to explore national parks, so we booked this cottage for our visit to Acadia NP. The cottage is in a wonderful location, close to Bar Harbor and ANP, so getting around the island of Mount Desert was a breeze. The cottage was clean, comfortable couch and bed, good climate control, hot water came quickly and good water pressure in shower. We bought paper towels but didn't need to as there was already plenty of paper products. Loved the porch, even if we never made it back before dark to sit outside and enjoy it. If I had to give anything for consideration, just know that the bed is really high (stools were provided) so you must be comfortable w/getting in and out of it (I'm 5'6" & it hit at my hip.) Also, there were no dressers so we just left our suitcases open in the living room for easy access (baskets are provided at the end of the bed, though.) The host was very responsive and helped us plan the time of our departure as it was on the same day as the MDI Marathon and we didn't want to be late to the airport.

Very clean and cozy accommodations. Perfect for a visit to Acadia National park and surrounding area like Bar Harbor.
Extra amenities appreciated and helpful.
Stayed for 8 days, stopped at Walmart in Ellsworth, needed nothing else! Great relaxing area with a hiking trail in the neighborhood.

This is a great little house (1 bedroom) right in Acadia National Park. It's comfortable and quiet, and the host has seemingly thought of everything. We recommend it!

It was perfect! Came in just behind Hurricane Lee and worried the island would be shut down but the Host Amanda stayed in good contact and everything could not have been more perfect the cabin the weather the food the whole island! It was perfect for two people and we loved the water pressure!! We slept with the windows open and didn’t even really need a blanket. The neighborhood was very quiet. It was central to everything. Had a nice fire in the above ground fire pit. All the amenities are in the cabin but we ate out for everything ‘cause…Lobstah Lobstah Lobstah!!!!

We highly recommend this charming cottage! The eclectic decor is lovely and it has several nice skylights. There is a great porch and also a nice deck with gas grill. Both overlook woodlands. It was so fun to watch the wild turkeys. The Wi-Fi had a strong signal throughout the cottage and worked nicely even outside on the porch. We have both ATT and Verizon cell phones and both carriers had good signal even without using Wi-Fi.
The location was perfect for exploring everything in Acadia and all of the surrounding towns nearby. It is only a few miles from Bar Harbor. We are hoping to return!

Well appointed cottage, perfect for two. Window A/C unit in the bedroom is very loud; we could not sleep with it running. Adding screens in dining room and a tighter fitting screen in the bedroom skylight would help to create a cross breeze. Basement is very musty which taints the air in the closet above, but had lots of room for storing our bikes. Large capacity washer and dryer were a bonus. Location was excellent; we walked the Village Trail connecting to Otter Cove & Acadia paths several times.

We had a great time in Otter Creek as we always do. The house is perfectly situated between Bar Harbor and the Acadia National Park entrance at Jordan Pond. It is easy to get to Ocean drive using the Sieur de Mont entrance or Otter Cliff using Otter Cliff road. I would drive to Eagle lake carriage roads to ride my bike though out the park. Perfect location for access to the carriage roads at Parkman Mount or Brown Mountain as well.
The house was in great condition and is is very rustic. There is plenty of room for a couple. The laundry room is downstairs in the basement. I found it easy to use. I also stored my gravel bike down there. The kitchen is will appointed, but we only cook minor things there. The is free WiFi that seems a must nowadays.
The home is situated in a quiet residential community just down from the market. They are other rental homes nearby. Within walking distance is Otter Creek market which will meet most of your grab and go needs. We have been coming to Otter Creek for 20 years or more.

I was looking for a place for my husband and mine Maine getaway. This cottage was adorable. I didn’t realize that there were neighbors ( thought it was more remote). It was on a dead end street and the neighbors really not too friendly but we kept to ourselves anyways. The cottage was nicely decorated and had everything you need. There are a few things I would change. The air conditioner in the bedroom is very loud. Kept us up all night. Then the area where the broom is needs a charcoal filter. It has a musty smell. I think it comes from the basement. The cabin never had that smell. The bed is very hard which bothered my husband who has titanium in his back. Other than that it was not far from Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor. Amanda was very good at getting back to me if I needed anything. I definitely would stay there again.

Even though cottage is highly rated, it was even better than expected. Plenty of room for a couple with the kitchen, living room, eating area, bedroom. Covered front porch is large and ideal location for relaxing anytime of day. Quiet area but easy drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia. Appreciated the trail at end of road leading to Otter Cove/Cliff area. Kitchen provided option to eat at cottage and comply with some dietary restrictions which can be difficult when eating out every night. Highly recommended!

The house was in a great location. It was beautifully decorated and had all the essentials and comforts we could have asked for. Perfect for just the two of us.

Perfect for my husband and me plus our dog. Loved the location. Enjoyed the space. Kitchen stocked with just the right amount of pots, pans, cookie sheets, etc.

Cottage was very clean! I love to cook and the kitchen was well equipped (perhaps add a larger skillet). Bed might be a little high off the ground for physically challenged guests, but mattress was comfy. We were able to hike right from the house by using the trail at the end of the street which led us to the Shore Path and Gorham Mountain areas. I would stay here again!

Summerwood Cottage was the perfect place for my husband and myself. It was very clean, had all the amenities we needed, and was the perfect size (cozy yet plenty of space). We loved being able to walk to Otter Cove, and being just a short drive to everything else. My only recommendation for future guests is to pack an eye mask. The skylight in the bedroom was great for allowing in fresh air, but the sun rises early in Maine and made for some early mornings :-)

This home was in the perfect location for what me and my wife were looking for. We traveled to the area for our honeymoon and we’re looking for a place that was close to bar harbor and Acadia National park. This was exactly that! We were just minutes from the park and the most popular trails, as well as the nice downtown area of bar Harbor! This home was perfect for us.
5.0
We loved this small comfy house at Otter Creek. The neighborhood is very quiet yet not too far from Bar Harbor’s excellent restaurants. The house backs up to woods proving a sense of being far from the bustle of a tourist town.

I’m not the kind of traveler that visits places multiple times - I prefer to continue exploring places I haven’t been yet. That said - the minute I stepped into this cabin, I already couldn’t wait to come back.
Amanda is an amazing host - this cozy home has everything one would need to have a convenient and comfortable stay (including laundry on site - after 3 days of hiking, it was so nice to be able to wash before heading out to our next destination).
The location in proximity to the trails, Bar Harbor, and the water is perfect! I enjoyed visiting in the fall and cannot wait to come back in the summer.
Amanda is a PRO with tips on how to get to and from anywhere you’d want to go via the public transit available in the summer months as well - something I will definitely take advantage of on my next visit!
Do not pass this property up - you won’t be disappointed with your stay.

Very clean and comfortable. I only gave this a 4 star on location because I didn’t understand the road system and thought it would be closer access to certain places. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.
Only thing I found missing were Kleenexes. Bring those! Thanks Amanda, for a great place to explore Acadia.

We loved our time at the house. The owner was very responsive and friendly. The street was quiet and there were turkeys that greeted us on arrival! 🤗The house is perfect for two with lots of little accents that made it very quaint. Easy access to hiking trails and a short drive to the town of Bar Harbor.

This place was perfect in so many ways. The host was awesome and very prompt at responding to texts. The location was ideal to access of Acadia National Park. A short walk at the end of the street brings you directly to Otter Cove and the Ocean Path. Bar Harbor is just a few miles from here. We loved staying here and will do so when in the area again.

Wonderful stay. Quiet neighborhood. A mini bird sanctuary next door! Wild turkeys and blue jays to laugh at. Sweet little house and porch. Easy communication. Fancy wine store down the road. Wonderful skylight in the bedroom. Nice hikes from the house. Thank you!

This cabin is in a great location if you plan to spend your days hiking throughout Acadia. While the cabin itself does have the rustic charm and surface level clean, it could use a better attention to details. For example, the ceiling in the bedroom is shiplap but there are gaps between where you can see cobwebs and samara fruit coming through. Extensive cobwebs in the skylights, killed a lot of spiders I would find crawling around during the week. And be okay with dog hair, since the cabin is pet friendly and while I don't have a dog, I came home with all my clothes covered in long white dog hair.
Outside of this the cabin is tucked away and off the beaten path. It's nice and peaceful if you are looking to be near Bar Harbor but don't want the busyness of Bar Harbor. It was in a great location, nearby numerous trail heads and provided us easy access to some great hiking spots. Late August was a great time to come as we were able to have the windows open the entire time and it never got too hot. Almost wished there weren't AC units in some of the windows so we could have opened those too. A few mornings after returning from hikes we would find turkeys chilling in the backyard. Overall if you are looking for a simple base location to set up for days of hiking, this cabin gets the job done.

The rental unit was clean and cozy. Fresh flowers were a nice touch. The property manager was very attentive and responded immediately when there was an issue with the water pump. Our only thing I would have liked to have known was the property is in a very residential area. It is located in a neighborhood and is not secluded at all.
Other than that our stay was wonderful

The host, Amanda, is super nice and responsive. We had everything we needed at the house. Clean and supplied. Just a little tricky with a step near the bedroom. We would use it again if we came back to Acadia.
