Apple cottage is an absolute gem and an amazing property! Throughly enjoyed our time there and the easy ride into Acadia from there. Anne was responsive, and even made sure lights were left on when we arrived late and in the rain! 10/10, highly recommend!

My husband and I enjoyed the waterfront view from the deck. The sunrise is so beautiful and can be seen from the bedroom, deck or down at the shore. The place was a perfect size for us! There was ample room for our luggage; the cottage is very clean and organized. We enjoyed our stay very much! Anne is an excellent communicator; she is very pleasant to work with!!!

Maine cottage getaway

We loved the cottage and it was a great way to explore Acadia! This was our first trip to Maine and we can’t wait to come back. Mt kids loved playing in the ocean just a mins walk from the cabin.

I loved the national park, just bad timing because the visitor center was closed due to the government shutdown. We enjoyed the sunrises!

Charming location and views

Small cottage was great home base for exploring this majestic island. Works well for families with small kids that want to be outdoors a lot. Owner was responsive and quickly tended to our needs during the trip!

We love Apple Cottage. The ocean view is gorgeous. We love listening to the lobster boats early in the morning. Sunrise and the star lit night skies are dramatic and a welcome delight after urban life.

Quietude cottage

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was the perfect size for our family and gave us easy access to all of Acadia NP. It's located on the quietsude if the island which we really appreciated at the end of full days of hiking around ANP.. My kids really enjoyed the easy access to the water to investigate all the tides pools at low tide as well. Would definitely stay here again if we had the chance.

Relaxing stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Apple cottage. The cottage was spacious for a family of four and very quiet. The location was superb, with beautiful coastal and natural surroundings. Watching from the porch the sunrise over the water was something. Would come back again if we have a chance.

Beautiful home and such a kind host! It was our first family road trip and I was a bit disorganized to say the least Anne was so patient with me. We look forward to coming back, the location is perfect for families and the views are spectacular. Thank you!

Plan to Return!

Location is great on the quiet side of the island and numerous eateries are location fairly close by. The deck is a fabulous location for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the boats go by. Access to the beach is excellent and there is beauty in the simplicity of the layout of the cottage itself. We plan to return!

Beautiful stay with nature

Had a wonderful week with great weather! Apple Cottage is perfect for us!! Enjoyed our visits with the deer! So graceful! Had a surprise visit by a gaggle of 14 turkeys! Great place to relax but close enough to visit the parks. So happy that Seawall was fixed!! Great place to picnic!

Acadia Visit

Loved the quiet location with a view of the water. Property was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for visiting Acadia NP and a cozy retreat for those inevitable foggy, rainy days; so much nicer than a hotel room. Host responded immediately when we our access code didn't work.
