The cabin was great, would recommend for sure - One recommendation would be to ask the manager to have some more information re how to work AC/Heat, and other appliances - took some figuring out. Need some new towels as well - although the laundry is excellent. These are minor.. overall very good - excellent location, clean, quiet - definitely recommend!

My family and a friend’s family (4 adults, a 2.5 year old, and a 1 year old) had a great time at Marsden Cottage. It was the perfect retreat when the rain arrived, and very convenient to Acadia National Park when we went out exploring!

House was at the end of a small dead end street. Looks just like the pictures. Two nice bedrooms with baths and a loft with beds for older kids. Convenient to Southwest Harbor. Easy drive to Bar Harbor and access to Acadia.

Beautiful home, thoughtfully furnished. Quiet area close to the Southwest Harbor main st. Easy to get to Acadia destinations. The lofted bedroom area also has an external staircase for those who don't want to climb up the ladder. Just wish we had more time to stay!
