It was just what I was looking for and was as listed. A very pleasant place to stay.

This small cozy cottage is tucked away in the woods and was perfect for my family of three. The location is perfect because it's close to all the attractions on the Island such as Bar Harbor and Acadia national park, but it's just far enough away to not be in all the hustle and bustle of those areas. There are small grocery stores nearby to restock on anything you need as well. Our favorite thing to do during our stay was to walk down to the causeway to explore and enjoy the beautiful coastal views.

Loved the quiet location in Southwest Harbor. Several great restaurants, cafes and water views within easy walking distance from cottage. Had the opportunity to meet Adair in person...she provided wonderful suggestions for eating and hiking. Thank you!

Our stay at the Cozy Cottage far exceeded our expectations. We settled in comfortably and found all that we needed to enjoy our stay. We enjoyed walking into town for a meal and a view of the coast. Most of all, though, we delighted in the Causeway, which was only a five minute walk down the road. We were mesmerized by the tide, swam in the cove, and even caught mackerel dinner one evening. We felt most welcome by the hosting family and would highly recommend the Cozy Cottage in the Woods.

Fantastic cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! We plan on returning next year!! Only complaint is the driveway was a challenge with a van. A couple of trees really need to be taken down.

The Knollette is a fantastic place for staying near Acadia if you want to escape the crowds near Bar Harbor. The house is quaint, in a quiet location, and is plenty of space for four to spread out and relax. The true highlight is the property itself with the expansive back yard, surrounded by trees, complete with table, chairs, and a fire pit! We had many late nights enjoying a fire and the crisp, quiet, night air. It is also steps (or a bike ride) from the Causeway, and the Valley Cove and Summit Trails which offer beautiful views and challenging terrain for hikers, as well as Echo Lake if you want to go for a swim. Southwest Harbor is also a great little town. You have everything you need from a grocery store, cafes, shops, and some great places to eat lunch and dinner. All in all a cozy, quiet, and comfortable place to relax after a day of hiking and sight seeing in Acadia.

This house is cozy and well appointed with everything you need to feel home away from home. We loved being able to walk to MDI BBQ (the best!) and Beal's lobster, and it was close to Echo lake and many great Acadia hikes. Our host included many nice touches including everything you need to prepare meals or pack snacks, fresh cut flowers, and was a great communicator.
