Great family! After a strong wind bent our patio umbrella and shattered the table, we had an unplanned opportunity to meet. All members of the family pitched in to help us clean up and we had a lovely time chatting. As for the cottage -they left it in great shape. We highly recommend them to other hosts and would welcome them back anytime.

A wonderful Fall vacation on MDI

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moss Mt. Cottage. The property was by far the cleanest and best equipped we’ve stayed at. Jean was the perfect host, answering our questions and making sure we were comfortable even during a power outage. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return!

Terry and her family were wonderful guests and I was so glad to have the opprotunity to meet them - just after the power went back on after being out for some time due to high winds. Since they were visiting from South Florida, they assured me that they were used to power outages and that all was fine. Beside their understanding on this front, they were great at communicating all their needs before and during their trip and gave us a head's up that they'd left early so that we could start cleaning for our next guests. They left the place in great shape and we would love to host them again anytime they visit the island and would highly recommend them to any other property owners.

Beautiful vacation home. Had an extremely well stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor deck. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay.

This was a great place to stay in Acadia. We had five grown people in our group and we fit completely comfortably in the house. Everything was clean and well stocked; we did not want for anything. The grounds are so well maintained and great fun to hang out in. With a cheerful fire and some cold drinks, hanging out on the patio apres-hike is a perfect summer vacation activity. It's close to the Travelling Lobster and Island Takeout as well. The host is perfectly communicative and had a wonderful welcome package waiting for us. Stay here if you can!!

Lovely cottage on MDI

We had a wonderful stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was spacious, and it had air conditioning! We appreciated that it was quiet and secluded off the road in a beautiful wooded area. The location was great for exploring the island - easy to get to Bar Harbor, to hiking in Acadia and to the "quiet side" of the island. A bonus is that it is minutes away from our favorite lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster.

Moss Mountain Cottage Gem

We were so lucky to have chosen this cottage for our week long stay in Maine. It's very clean, quiet and we felt very safe staying here during times of COVID. The owners were very thoughtful to provide such a well stocked home for their guests. The king bed was very comfortable and there were nice towels for the bath. Jean provided great communication during our stay. We highly recommend Moss Mountain Cottage for your Maine vacation.

Comfort like home in private setting.

The beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with cookware and pantry items which makes it easy to cook and eat meals at home, which was our preference during Covid. Backyard is quiet with we enjoyed making a fire and watching the stars. It seems like everything on MDI is an easy drive from Moss Mountain Cottage! We explored hiking trails and beaches during the day.

Wonderful cottage

Moss Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, well-appointed, organized and very private. The outside deck and garden/patio were lovely and we enjoyed watching the local wildlife - like the snowshoe rabbit munching on Jean's garden. The location was very convenient and encouraged us to explore the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island. Jean was a great host and made us feel so welcome! I would encourage anyone to stay at Moss Cottage.
