This place was gorgeous. It was very clean, had an incredible view, cozy bedroom, and overall the perfect location for going in and out of Bar Harbor/Acadia and exploring the mainland as well. It was tucked away and private, right on the water. We loved it here and would absolutely stay again!

This is a beautiful little cottage by the ocean inlet, it was very clean and very comfortable we love staying here. It was close to getting groceries and Acadia and Bar Harbor was about 20-25 minutes away. Would definitely go here again without any second thoughts.

What a lovely getaway. Perfect location to reach any area of the island including Schoodic Peninsula. Though our mornings were foggy, it was enjoyable to still sit and drink coffee on the porch. House was super clean and so adorable with so many cute touches. Hosts were easy to contact. We will definitely look to stay again next year! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The location, which was great, was off the main road and down a gravel road but felt like your own little peninsula. The cottage was pretty and well stocked. The views were beautiful. Just be aware that the bedroom is on the second floor and the bathroom, which is nice but small is on the first floor, if that might be an issue. We appreciated that there was a solo stove and wood was easy to buy in the area. We had a firepit on numerous nights. It was a very relaxing stay with many things to do in the area.

Our favorite place!

This was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Everything about it was perfection: the view, the decor, the amenities, kitchen supplies, extra pillows on the bed, extra blankets in the house, in addition to being spotlessly clean. We would love to stay here every year.

This was our second stay at Island Sky and we were so glad to be back! This cottage is so lovely, well appointed and comfortable. It’s close to all the attractions that Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor have to offer but just off the beaten path enough to provide peace and quiet. Watching the sunrise from the deck is an amazing way to start your day! We had a wonderful visit and hope to return again next year.

Great Little Place

We had a wonderful stay at Island Sky! The property had beautiful water views and great amenities! We also enjoyed the sound of the little creek that runs along the side of the property. You are close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia(about 15 minutes) and there are a lot of lobster pounds very near by!😁😍 We truly enjoyed our stay!
