Great little cottage, perfect for a couple couple to stay and hike and explore Acadia and MDI. Everything was as advertised, WiFi was a tad spotty but was a great experience overall!

Enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It’s location makes it quick and easy to access trails and sites in the western half of Acadia. I was really pleased with how well stocked the kitchen was and was easily able to make multiple different meals throughout our stay. The main bed was also really comfortable. Would book again if I ever came back to the area.

Great stay here. Friendly host and a cute little place to stay. It’s a close drive to all hikes and activities. The place itself is well maintained and nicely decorated. Perfect for a couple.
Only thing that I would change is the Wi-Fi. It isn’t necessary, but it would’ve been nice after a day of hiking to unwind with a better connection.

Our stay at the cottage was cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed the firepit and being able to grill out! One suggestion it would be nice to have a bundle of campfire wood. Would definitely recommend this cottage to others. Thanks for the memories! From Ohio

Overall a pretty great stay! The hot water ran out pretty quickly, so just something we were aware of after the first day! The owner was super communicative and it is a beautiful cozy little place!

My two teenagers and I spent three days at Little Brook Cottage and loved it! Robbin has done an excellent job of making sure guests have everything they could possibly need and does an excellent job of communicating and responding to all questions you might have. The cottage is beautifully decorated and felt very clean. Should we ever be back in the area, I will definitely look into staying here again!

Quaint cottage decorated adorable. The area was relaxing
5.0
It was a pleasure staying at Robbin’s place. The place is cozy and has a beautiful backyard with a grill and fire pit. The place has all the kitchen utensils and grilling equipment. I would say the one thing to keep in mind is stay here with someone you are close and comfortable with. The bathroom is very close to bed and leaves a small opening when closed.
We enjoyed the location which is walkable distance (5 mins) to an ice cream shop and a convenience store/gas station.
We encountered a few small issues and Robbin resolved them so quickly. I would recommend staying here and enjoying the amazing Maine nature.

Beautiful location and landscaping. The Little Brook Cottage is truly little for two people. There is not much room for baggage and the bed is small. But the property manager was friendly and helpful and the site is a good base for exploring Mt Desert Island.

Place is clean. It is very small but my husband and I have stayed in our 32 ft travel trailer for a week at a time so are used to small spaces. Plus it was basically just a place to sleep (however we had rain an entire day of our visit so had to spend a little more unplanned time there). A couple of things to note that I would caution for…it says free wifi but I was not able to connect and my husband said it was so slow on his phone and tablet the it wasn’t even worth trying to load a page. Also we ran out of hot water on the first day halfway through my husband’s shower. I only took about a 10 minute shower max and we ran out of hot water. The second day I showered the way I do in our travel trailer (quicker and turning off water while washing) and he waited about an hour and it was fine. Also there are signs not to use the tap water for drinking. They did however have a water cooler with a full 5 gallon water bottle. It is definitely small and if you are ok with the tight space, no internet, and quick showers, this place is a nice clean spot near Acadia and Bar Harbor for a good price. Also owner was very responsive and even though we didn’t get a chance to use it, there is an outdoor fire pit with seating.

The cottage was perfect for our 30th anniversary getaway. We had everything we needed.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The space was a bit on the tight side, but we managed just fine. We picked this quiet side location to be away from the craziness of Bar Harbor, and it worked out well.

My husband and I did a short trip to Acadia with our dog before busy season. We had a great time. The property was perfect for the two of us. It was very quiet and peaceful. The bed was also very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

I learned my lesson about staying in a property advertised at $125 per night. After all the fees were added on, it was over$600 for 2 nights. We were asked to empty our garbage, we washed our dishes, and we had to take our dog off property to take care of business. Back to hotels for me.

This cottage was in the perfect location for us to visit all of Acadia, Bar Harbor, Bass Harbor lighthouse and Cadillac Mtn. The cottage is so lovely. It is decorated in an almost French cottage type of decor. An added bonus is the location which is very close to Thurston's and their food was divine! If you continue down Tremont Rd you can find a relatively secluded place to watch the sunset with benches. (Great place to take a glass of wine and watch the lobster boats come in also.)
I would highly recommend this cottage for couples looking for a quiet cottage with awesome decor to relax in. The host was friendly and so helpful.

Very cute cozy cottage. Just big enough for my husband and I. Great fire pit outside and close to area site-seeing.
Only recommendation is a different seating area inside.

Great location on the quiet side of the island. Close to several good restaurants and the Bass Harbor lighthouse sunrise is nearby too. . Nice outdoor space is also a plus! Highly recommend for 2 people-well equipped and very clean.

5.0
The cottage was packed with everything needed to make our stay easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. From the higher end bath products to the well stocked kitchen and the outdoor seating and firepit, we were able to easily leave and return to a nice place. Tv options are outstanding. Location allows for privacy yet proximity to all Southwest Harbor and surrounding shore villages, harbors and lakes, hiking trails, and a ferry to an off shore island. Highly recommended.
5.0
This was the perfect place to start and end our days while on MDI! The cottage is super well appointed and had clutch items like coffee on site when we rolled out before things were open to hike. Highly rec!!

If I am ever in the area again I will book this cottage again.

We loved the kitchen! This host/hostess thought of everything! We made some of our meals in the cottage and realized we overpacked! They had a can opener, lighter, lysol, cooking pots, sponges, - everything!
Their cleaning service wasn’t great. There was blood on our comforter, black hairs on the extra blankets, and white smears on the decorative throw pillows.
The location was quite nice - near an outdoor ice cream and lobster place. The cabin felt quite private. This place is wonderful - just needs a different cleaning crew for the bedding. The kitchen was spotless. The bathroom very clean and tidy.

Cozy and Clean cottage to rest after a long day of exploring all parts of this beautiful state! The owner was kind and not at all intrusive. Truly a pleasant experience!

Cute Cottage, Perfect for a Couple or Single
This is a cute little cottage in a very quiet area. It is about a half hour from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Not much is within walking distance but if you have a car, it is nice to be here as it is very quiet and not at all crowded. The little cottage was very clean and had all that we needed. The host was very helpful and gave us several suggestions for some great places to eat and brought us some extra towels when we ran low. We have only two issue that could be improved upon. 1) The cottage was damp. I think that it would do a lot of good to have a small dehumidifier in the cottage. 2) The twin size pull out bed was very, very uncomfortable. The mattress was more like fabric stretched over metal springs and wrapped in two layers of plastic. My teenage son said that it was possibly worse than sleeping on the ground. The full size bed was fine, though. For a couple, this is the perfect place for a quiet getaway to Acadia National Park but maybe not so if you need a second bed.

Loved Maine!!
The cottage was just what we needed! Great place to rest and relax after some amazing hikes in Acadia! Loved being on the quiet side but within a short distance from all activities! Bass Harbor light house is very close and one of my favorite places!! Hopefully we will return!!

Nice cottage in a handy location
The cottage was clean and well maintained, but smaller than we anticipated. It was fine for a short stay.

Great spot, be prepared for many notes
So many things about the cottage where great. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies, the space was tiny and charming and comfortable. The location was quiet and felt secure.
My only concern is that upon arrival there were so many notes left around the house and in the yard giving un-expected directions/ requirements. These notes included: don't let your dog pee on the grass, dog not allowed on any furniture, be careful not to overuse the water or the water pump alarm will sound. I completely understand and respect the owner for setting boundaries, but I wish these would have been posted online. I came with a dog and then felt like I had to drag my dog to the edge of the woods before she could pee or risk being charged damage fees. Over all the notes gave me the impression I had to be walking on egg shells.

Quaint Little Gem
What a sweet property!! For a small space this had everything I could want. The location was perfect and so quiet. It was nice to not be in the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but close enough to pop over for a dinner or two. Enjoyed exploring the area of my childhood with this as my home base. Will definitely be back.
