This place feels enchanted, like a piece of paradise. It is peaceful and inviting, yet only a short drive from Bar Harbor. Our host offered exceptional assistance throughout the stay when needed. We are already hoping to make our way back.

The view was amazing! The place was clean and exactly like the pictures online. We made a fire outside and walked on the little beach. I would stay here again just for the view and the solitude. It was about a 20-25 minute drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia.

The cottage has beautiful water views and a very peaceful setting. Our goal was to have a quiet location but not too far to Bar Harbor/Acadia areas & this was more than perfect. Doug & Nicki were easily accessible & very helpful with suggestions such as utilizing the free shuttle bus to both areas, avoiding the parking hassles, as well as other recommendations. The cottage itself has everything you need and was cozy, warm and comfortable. Five stars for sure!

Beautiful property! Great view! We appreciated all the extras: water in the refrigerator, tea and coffee, bathroom supplies, the amenities made everything much nicer. Ice trays in the freezer would be helpful. Small washer and dryer would be great for those of us traveling for greater lengths of time.

We've stayed in many rental properties before, and every so often you find a property which is truly exceptional. This is one of those! Clean, tastefully appointed cottage with a stunning view from the outside patio, downstairs kitchen and upstairs bedroom area. Hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Location was just the right balance of private quiet setting but minutes to all the action of Bar Harbor and Acadia. Eating a takeout lobster roll on the patio while watching the sun set is what Maine is all about : )

Handled everything seamlessly with the local power being out. Contingency plans in place exceeded expectations to ensure a perfect stay! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Acadia Bar harbor area!

A great little spot

We had a great stay here! The check in was clear and obvious, everyone was responsive and helped with the minimal questions we did have and the place was incredible. The waterfront view is beautiful and we got great sunsets every night. The house had everything we needed and my fiancé even liked the bed so much she’s thinking of replacing ours at home! Would recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful Slice of Paradise!

The property was beautiful and the hosts (Nichi and Doug) were so kind! We loved beachcombing and watching the sunset from our porch. The space was cozy, clean and perfect for two. Highly recommend!

Beautiful!

We loved our short stay here. After a week doing a mini road trip around Maine it was the perfect peaceful last stop before heading home. Clean, quiet, comfortable. The beach access was amazing! So many interesting rocks, shells, and critters to look at along the shore. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful spot!

Right on the water!!

We had a great time! Place was easy to get to and check in was easy. Place was very clean. The yard was awesome! Right on the water with amazing views. It was peaceful and relaxing! It was about a 25 min drive to Bar Harbor but if you are looking for some peace and relaxation this place is perfect!

This property view over the water is absolutely stunning! It is also off the beaten path, surrounded by trees and natural beauty. Quiet, serene, cozy cottage with all the necessities as well as some extra little goodies that were left with care. Very clean and comfortable bed. Loved our stay and it was hard to leave!

Short stay Oct. 2023

Wonderfully quiet! Very convenient to Acadia National Park. Very clean and up to date. There was a bad storm during our stay and power went out - great that the heat and hot water are on a generator! Wish we could have stayed longer.

This property was perfect for our entire stay.....did not want to stay at a hotel or a house that was in the middle of a remodel. This was our private oasis on the water. Extremely quiet and peaceful. It was close to all the local restaurants and eateries....i hope to return and stay here on my next visit. Thank you Doug and Nickii.......Cheers.

Perfection! After long days exploring Acadia, you are just a short drive to tranquillity. Amazing access to the rock shoreline and spectacular sunsets. We watched loons taking a morning bath and deer sprint across the yard at night. Next trip I will just stay and enjoy the view

Beautiful property. Gorgeous sunsets. Thoughtful touches. Close to Acadia, yet far enough away to have your own sunset and no crowds! We watched seals abs porpouse hunt from the yard. Walking the shore line and collecting searching for treasure was a relaxing way to spend some time. Hosts were very responsive to any questing we had. We would highly recommend if you're not expecting an inside couch or recliner, outside seating comfortable, fire area nice - bed was very comfortable, view spectacular, long body pillows appreciated.

This place was amazing. Doug and Nichi were super responsive hosts and we really felt taken care of. The location was outstanding, very near ANP and we felt like great food was only a few miles away in Ellsworth or Bar Harbor. The kitchen was stocked and the bed! So comfy and much needed after long days. Loved the rooster in the mornings and the loons at night!We would love to come back and enjoy more bonfires at sunset... we only had time for one!

Off the beaten path to tranquility

Absolutely perfect retreat from all the noise of society. It was a beautiful tranquil setting to enjoy our fall break with our daughter. We throughly enjoyed our coffee on the porch with the peaceful ocean view and stunning fall leaves. The sunset was stunning and we enjoyed low tide to find some beautiful shells and sea glass. I'm so glad we found this gem that is super close to Acadia. We would definitely like to come back in the summer to enjoy the kayaking and spend more time in Maine.

Beautiful stay

We loved staying in this beautiful cottage. The location was quiet, not to far of a drive to Acadia and close enough to grocery stores to pick up a few items for snacks and meals at home and on the road during our days hiking and exploring. We made sure to be back at the cottage all three nights so we could enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Exploring at low tide was one of my favorite things. We made a fire one night and it was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring Acadia. I was able to capture lots of amazing photography around the property which will help preserve our memories forever. Definitely recommend!

Lovely Place on the Water

This place is beautiful inside and out! The hosts were gracious, it’s a secluded location not too far from Acadia and Bar Harbor, and best of all right on the bay. …. I mean just steps from the door! You’ll love it, it’s awesome.
