About this house rental

Nestled in Southwest Harbor, this attractive house for $292 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Rosewood Cottage is situated on 2 wooded acres, located on the “Quietside” of Mount Desert Island. The property is secluded, set away from the road and directly across the street from the ocean. There is a ocean breeze with a limited view of the water and Swan’s Island which is a short ferry ride away. A small brook runs beside the property offering the sound of running water in the spring that becomes a trickle by the dog days of summer. Newly constructed this spring is a 400 square foot deck that wraps around the back of the property offering an ideal spot to relax. A short walk to the ocean, the house is minutes from Acadia National Park and approximately a 20-30 minute drive to Bar Harbor. It was built in the 1940’s and much of the cottage remains intentionally unchanged. If you are looking for a rustic, authentic, vintage summer cottage, built by native Mainers on Mount Desert Island, in a quiet location, away from crowded tourist areas, this is your place.

Location was exactly what we wanted but when we arrived the water was not working. Maybe there was a leak because the house was damp and musty. We had to move to another one of her properties that was an hour away. The other property was actually nicer. There was no hair dryer and I didn't want to buy one because I don't need one at home. The washer is up so high we had to drag a ladder found in a closet to reach it.

The small cottage was located remotely which is what we were looing for. It was a 20+ min drive from the carriage trails on the other half of the island. Hodgdon seafood is two miles up the road, AWESOME local resource for your seafood needs while visiting. On the negative side.... Upon arrival everything seemed very dirty & grimy. My wife cleaned the kitchen and bathroom with bleach. She washed the pots, pans, dishes, utensils, and bed linens. The toilet had a leak as did the front main window when it rained. The ice dispenser in the fridge had black mold all over it. The kitchen ceiling showed significant water damage. Not sure I would go back until some of these issues were addressed.

We had a great time at the house with our young kids. The attic bedroom was perfect for them, and while not a large or luxurious house overall we thought it had plenty of space for hanging out, eating, and cooking together. The deck and back yard are great, and we enjoyed being set back off the road. The place was remarkably well stocked compared to other VRBOs we've stayed at. Communication with the host was good. We'd definitely stay again if we come back to MDI!

House was cute and clean. Loved being on the quiet side of the island. We saw deer in the front yard every morning and a few turkey as well. Also could hear some coy dogs howling at night.
