Location is Everything

Absolutely beautiful setting very much enjoyed the location. Saw seals and bald eagles at the property. Only reason it’s a 4 and not a 5 is the bed needs a new mattress and the kitchen could be better equipped with things like decent knives and a garbage can with a lid.

What a view!

Loved our stay. What a cozy romantic place for a couples getaway. Susan was prompt at addressing some minor issues during our stay including buying and delivering a brand new grill to the property when we discovered that the prior propane grill would not light. Love watching the Bald Eagles hunting for their dinner along the back of the property! Puffin Cruise in Steuben was fun and Acadia and Bar Harbor were fun day trips within an easy 45 min drive.

An absolutely beautiful property!

This property is tucked away & feels very private. The mossy property is just gorgeous and the ground is softer than carpet to walk on. It's pretty unbelievable actually. The view of the bay is so lovely and I really could've just sat outside the whole time & enjoyed the environment, if there weren't so many other wonderful things that we wanted to see while visiting Maine. I really can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we come back to visit. I definitely recommend staying here if you get a chance.

Acadia trip

The property was very nice, clean and comfortable. Just as advertised. The only reason we did not enjoy our stay was the weather. Just bad timing. Was bad enough that we left two days early.

Perfect Getaway

We arrived after dark so we didn't get the full impact of the property until the morning. What a great place to wake up in and have coffee down by the water relaxing in the Adirondack chairs! The home is well taken care of and, Susan, the property manager was very helpful and prompt to answer our questions. The property is beautiful and the home is comfortable and well-appointed. We enjoyed our time at Couple Cove and plan to return on our next adventure to Maine! We've already recommended you to several of our friends and relatives. Thank you to our hosts and to Susan for one of the best experiences we've had at a vacation rental. Cathi & Tim

Idyllic Fall Vacation!

We thoroughly loved staying at Couples Cove Cottage. We stayed for four nights during October 2021 and were blessed with lovely weather. We haven't stayed at a nicer rental property. It is set on a beautiful property, right on the water. Very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is stocked with excellent quality equipment...I can't think of anything that we lacked or would have improved. There is a master bedroom with a comfortable queen bed in addition to a study with a desk and couch. There's a large screened in porch with a table and chairs, plus many chairs outside in the backyard. Loved eating breakfast each morning overlooking the bay. It was just a great place to stay. Thanks to the owners for sharing your house with us!

The Joys of Jellison Cove

What a little piece of heaven this place is! The interior of the home is beautiful with an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining, and living areas and large windows overlooking the pine trees and Jellison Cove. We loved the view from inside in the comfy chairs, as well as from the two adirondack chairs overlooking the cove—listening to birds singing, loons calling, the waves and watching the sunrise. It was very happily situated. This home had a lot of wonderful amenities that we didn’t get the chance to utilize like the patio set in the screened in porch, the picnic table and fire pit, and the propane grill. Everything was well stocked. The kitchen had all sorts of pots, pans, utensils, Ziploc bags, aluminum foil, etc.. The bathrooms were well supplied with towels, wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, and toilet paper. There were extra blankets and pillows, which was nice.Truly the only thing we could think of that would improve this place is a king-size bed. We are used to a king-size, so we had a harder time adjusting to the queen.We were only about a 40-45 minute drive from Bar Harbor and hiking at Acadia. In the other direction, we were about 35 minutes from the Schoodic part of Acadia. We enjoyed dining three times at Crocker House Country Inn just an 8-minute drive from the house. Charming place with great food and friendly service.We spent 7 days in this house and could have stayed a lot longer! It was hard to leave! Definitely a gem!
My husband took this photo from the steps of the house one morning when the sun was rising.
The gorgeous view of Jellison Cove from my comfy chair as I read.
Happily situated. It felt private even though there were neighbors on either side. We could hardly tell they were there.
Nice open floor plan with big beautiful windows that show off the view. Each window also had a shade we could pull for privacy, which was a thoughtful touch.

Great views

Great stay, especially for the price. Absolutely beautiful view of the bay and very little light pollution. However the indoor fireplace was broken which was something we specifically chose the vrbo for, and there is mold behind the toilet attached to the primary bedroom. Be warned that the tap water is also pretty salty well water, so we bought our own. The shower is also a bit small. Overall, pretty clean, great location, great views, comfortable bed, and I'd stay here again.

Perfect Cottage

This was the best place to stay for us while visiting the Acadia National Park region. It was perfect for 2 adults and had everything we needed. It is on a quiet cove with fantastic views of the harbor. We loved having our coffee down by the water's edge in the mornings. We saw 2 bald eagles right on our little beach! My favorite part of the whole stay was probably the stargazing. There are 2 beach loungers just outside the back door that were perfect for staring at the sky. I have never seen starts so bright and clear! A very romantic lovely cottage! Just perfect!

Lovely Maine Cottage

Cottage is in a lovely, quiet, peaceful location...within a short drive to Acadia National Park. (Both the main park and the Schoodic Peninsula section of the Park. ) Absolutely breathtaking views from the large windows of the cottage. Cottage is very well maintained and well decorated for a perfect stay. Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking necessities but there are also several excellent restaurants located in nearby towns. It was a perfect relaxing getaway. And our first trip to Maine and hopefully not our last!

Couples Cove was perfect in every way. The setting was just too beautiful for words. We enjoyed wonderful sunrises, eagles soaring every day, seals, baby red fox and just Gods majestic handiwork. It was really hard for us to leave every morning b because we just wanted to stay there! . The cottage itself was just lovely… that whole wall of windows to view the cove! Wow! It had everything we needed and had very comfortable accommodations. The notebook was very helpful. Communication was great. It truly was the perfect vacation and we feel so very blessed. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. . We have come to love lupine! The Schoodic Peninsula was our favorite part of Acadia.
