Inside cleanliness was excellent. Kitchen was what we dream about! Time spent in cottage was spent reconnecting with loved ones!

The house was spotless and has a charm to it. Very cozy and there was plenty of space for my family of 6. Bass Harbor lighthouse is a 4 minute drive away and there are many attractions within 30 minutes like Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The host offers a lot of accommodations and the house is fully stocked in every room (kitchen, bathrooms, living room and bedrooms). Can’t imagine having found a better home for our vacation. Lovely place and would stay here again!!

The cottage was well-equipped with everything we could have needed. The beds were comfortable and the entire place was so well cared for. Our party of 8 fit nicely. We liked the location-- away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, while affording us the opportunity to use the distance to explore the entire island and not just Bar Harbor/Acadia NP. We probably would have missed out on all that the Southwestern side had to offer had we not been in the cottage. The drive to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor were only 30 minutes away... a beautiful, easy drive through the mountains and along the coast. The owner reached out prior to our arrival and helped recommend places we could get groceries and good eats while we were on the island. The cottage welcome booklet was well-prepared and we had zero questions about how to operate things within the property because there were helpful directions posted close to the amenities we'd be frequently using. Such a great touch and very thoughtful!Unfortunately we couldn't sit outside because the mosquitoes were in full supply the moment we stepped outside. We didn't experience mosquito concerns anywhere else. This isn't a reflection of the cottage, but just a comment to warn others to bring bug spray if they wish to sit outside in August.Thank you again, Robbin!

Property is cute and welcomes dogs. However, host has a LOT of rules and is not the easiest to get in touch with pre-stay. We altered our stay by one night and it was a trial dealing with both VRBO and the host to get a refund. We had to contact Robin multiple times for the core portion of the refund (finally got a response when I asked VRBO to intervene). I couldn't get a refund for the taxes until after the stay, which had to be issued by VRBO. During the stay, Robin did reach out to confirm if everything was going well. Frankly given the inconvenience around getting in touch, payment processing, and all the clean up rules, I think the cost was steep (unless you are truly filling up the house and have 6 guests). I will probably just stay in a hotel next time.
