Wonderful!

We were 5 teachers/co-workers looking for a getaway to unwind and relieve stress from our difficult school year. The cottage was perfect for our purpose! It was immaculate and cozy for all of us to feel comfortable living there for 5 days. The ride to Acadia ranged from 30-45 minutes depending on the trail chosen. We didn't mind the drive and it helped to become familiar with the area. The outside was inviting and set up well to enjoy it. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and we could not make use of it. I recommend this cottage for a stay to anyone for a nice getaway trip. You will not be disappointed!

Totally agree with John’s review. Nice place off the beaten bath. We were unsure exactly what we would be doing in the area. This house is very comfortable for our group, but the drive to Bar Harbor what is a little far for every day travel. We two were there at a very hot time of year and the air conditioning did not keep up. Very clean, communication was excellent

Very clean and neat. It gave a good impression on opening the door. The kitchen was well stocked with 12-piece set of plates, bowls and mugs, as well as cookware, spices and utensils. Beds were very comfortable. VERY NICE outdoor area with patio, firepit with supplied firewood, and well-maintained lawn. Host was very responsive. If you are renting, you should be aware that the water has noticeable sulfur and iron content. Not a problem for washing and cooking, but we bought bottled water for drinking. Also you should know that the 3 upstairs bedrooms are configured such that you have to go through the first one to get to the second one, and you have to go through the second one to get to the third one. This was not a problem for our family, but if multiple unrelated couples are sharing the house then it could be an awkward situation. We were there for one of the hottest weeks of summer and found that the upstairs was uncomfortably warm despite the use of a portable AC unit. Most of the year this would probably not be the case.

We enjoyed our stay. We liked the quiet location, an easy drive to Acadia and other points of interest. The beds were comfortable. Everything we needed was provided. Note that the coffee maker is a Keurig. We ate at Perry’s Lobster Shack twice (delicious!) but only made it to Pugnuts once for gelato, though we talked about stopping there every time we drove past. We brought 3 kayaks with us and rented an additional one from the Activity Shop in Blue Hill and paddled in the Blue Hill Harbor, which was a highlight.

Good sized cottage for our group with easy access to all the local sights, and fantastic lobster dinner right down the road! Lovely outdoor areas as well.

Cute home needs a few improvements to put the icing on the cake. Water pressure poor, water had a strange smell, blind in bathroom broken, steps not older adult friendly, get rid of rugs at kitchen sink tripping hazard, and 2 of the mattresses were like a rock. But very nicely decorated, clean, washer and dryer, great outdoor patio area. Could use a TV upstairs, a fan in downstairs bedroom and a window AC unit for hot days. Sink in the upstairs bathroom was very slow to drain. Most of these things we found wrong are fairly easy fixed which would make this place much nicer.
