The granddaughters loved all of the toys, games snd puzzles. Piano was an extra treat. Whitney was very quick and responsive to all our questions.
5.0
Whitney and Dan were wonderful to work with. The house has awesome features like the fireplace ,built-ins, and decor. However, the outside of the house needs some attention. Excellent view of the ocean and enjoyed watching the deer. Thanks for sharing an amazing spot on the quiet side of the island.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the "quiet side." The house was clean, well appointed, and had tons of northeast, beach house character. My wife and I loved all the built in cabinetry and the stone fireplace. The highlight for us was walking to the beach for sunrise and catching the colors in the sky at sunset. Although there aren't as many restaurants to choose from in Southwest Harbor as there are in baaaahhhh habaaaa, there are some really good ones. Highly recommend Eat a Pit 2 and Drydock. We enjoyed great food and service at both. Also lots to do in the area so this house is a great choice overall.

Location was great! Private and serene. We had issues with musty smell, resulting from standing water in basement. Downstairs bathroom had mildew and evidence of leaking issues. The host was very responsive and brought us two brand new air purifiers. The house is charming but sadly neglected. We would probably not return.
5.0
The house was very conveniently located and had nice character. We were just two people but it would easily serve a family.
5.0
Cozy home and a very relaxing environment after our adventures in Acadia National Park.
Walking to the ocean every morning to see the sunrise was an added joy!
Overall a wonderful stay.

This house has retro country charm. No bells and whistles, but plenty of character. We enjoyed the half mile walk to beach access and room to spread out in this charming, older house. Our only complaint was the day they parked a dump truck in the driveway and I had to ask the owners to move it so we could get in and out. The first two days were quiet, but Monday, all day, we had to listen to the dump truck and backhoe being operated. If you plan to stay, inquire if the heavy machinery will be in operation.

Firefly Cottage was perfect for our family reunion. Charming, older home. Private pebble beach was a pleasant 5 min walk and a bonus! Whitney and Dan were very responsive and helpful. Islandscaping next door had fresh fish we could order in advance. Happy stay!

We had the best week of the summer when we stayed at Whitney and Dan’s cottage! (We scored with the weather!) It had everything we needed for relaxation after hikes and time in the park. Dan checked in a few times and couldn’t be more available for questions/concerns. Because of how busy August is, we really appreciated time on the quiet side of the island - the rocky beach is a 5 minute walk down a path from the cottage and was magical for our daughters to hunt for sand dollars and sea glass. The cottage was a 5-10 minute drive to so many hidden gem spots that we ended up adjusting our pre-trip bucket list by day two!
5.0
Another great stay at Firefly Meadow! Loved the addition of the TV in the fireplace room, the new beds in the kids room. This has quickly become one of our favorite places to land when staying in Southwest Harbor. Can't beat the walk to the pebble beach and easy access to hiking, restaurants and the laid back vibe of the quiet side. Can't wait to come back next year!

Great location for going hiking on Acadia National Park trails. Home was clean and owner provided excellent communication for any needs. Only issue was a very warm summer and no A/C.
4.0
We loved being able to quickly walk down to the beach via a private road - it is a very special location and we spent a lot of time down there. The location is also super convenient, it’s a short drive to the local restaurants and an easy drive over to the other side of the island - very central while still being quiet and peaceful. Dan was very helpful during our stay and also gave us great tips on hiking spots and restaurants. This was a family vacation with four adults, one child, and our dogs and we all had more than enough room in the house - and my son enjoyed the toys and books in the house. It’s an older house but it’s cute and and homey, and the location is great.

Greathouse for family and kid-friendly. Host was very accommodating and relayed helpful information about the area. House has a lot of charm and character.

We had a terrific time at this cute cottage. You can see the ocean from the living room. Deer come into the meadow at your back door. You can walk down to the ocean. It is an idyllic place. Owners were great. We enjoyed the fireplace as well.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here while we visited Acadia NP. It was far enough away from the crazy busy main park area but close enough to get there quickly and easily when we wanted to do so.

Great spot with easy beach access. Away from the crowds but close enough to anything you want to do in and around Acadia. Lots of space in the house plus a lot of games and other activities to keep everyone busy.
5.0
It was great to be in a quiet spot, and still close to Acadia. The house was very comfortable. Very close to Southwest Harbor for ice cream, and a short stroll to a rocky beach!

Family Reunion
This home is comfortable & quiet with a great primary bedroom suite. We loved watching the deer from the sunroom and the many seating areas conducive to conversation. However, the weather got quite warm during our stay, making us wish for two more fans and a few more screens on the upstairs windows. Otherwise, it was a perfect launching pad for exploring the island.

Quiet Please
Washing machine is located in a closet in the master bedroom and it is very loud as it grinds through its cycles. It was impossible to sleep while it was running. The clothes dryer is not vented to the outside which caused the bedroom to smell like a laundromat. We didn’t contact the property manager because we didn’t think there was enough time during our stay to get it fixed or replaced. For the benefit of future guests please repair or replace.

We stayed for 6 nights and found this house to be ideal. Great layout for kids and for entertaining. We loved the fireplace for chilly evenings, and the location is especially nice now that Mt Desert Island has been discovered (some would say overrun) on the busy Bar Harbor side.

We took a short trip to Acadia and this was the perfect house to stay at. It was a short drive to different parts of the park and Bar Harbor, and it's roomy enough for everyone to spread out and enjoy family time or quiet time. Our favorite room was the little music nook. We loved the piano and guitars. My daughter is a songwriter and loved having the quiet space so much, she was inspired to write a song there.
There is a short walk to a beautiful, peaceful rocky beach, which we all enjoyed in the evenings.
All the necessary kitchen essentials were provided and the puzzles kept us entertained as well.
It was a little chilly at night (we went in April), but the beds were comfy and there were plenty of warm blankets to snuggle up in.
Overall it was a great stay and the owners were very responsive to all of my questions. Thank you for the great stay!
