This house was beautiful! It was spotless when we arrived, well-equipped with everything that we needed. It was the perfect vacation getaway. We will definitely return on our next visit to Acadia ... which I hope will be soon. Thanks to Amanda, our stay on Mt Desert was perfect!

Beautiful stay

We were nicely surprised with the cleanliness of the house. The location of the house was within walking distance to trails. The fire pit was a nice addition. Very close to Bar Harbor. Us four adults had a great stay.

A perfect family getaway

What a great little cottage! We just had the best family vacation here (2 adults 2 kids under age 5). One of the first things my wife said when we walked in was that it was even nicer than the pictures. I would give the location a 6 if I could. Right in the middle of Acadia and you can literally walk to the country store from the steps. Amanda was great and has everything prepared so nicely; the local flowers on the kitchen table were lovely. Our two girls had a blast sharing their room together, it was the perfect size for young kids.Sure it's a little close to the neighbors but on top them in any overbearing way. There's a yard for kicking a ball (whywe chose here) and a nice fire ring for smores and campfires. All the rooms have separately controlled hearing and air. In addition to being fully furnished the kitchen has a (loud) washer/dryer and dishwasher for convenience.

Great stay in Acadia

We loved our stay in this home. The location was great. As others have mentioned, it was super accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but tucked away on a quiet street. We love using the fire pit in the evening. The layout of the house was great for two adults and two young children - and very accurately represented in the listing. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great trip to Acadia!

This rental exceeded our expectations. Amanda was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The proximity to the park and comforts of home like the ac grill and fire pit made our stay that much better. We will be staying again the next time we come to visit the park!

Delightful 3rd stay at Otter Cliff Cottage!

This was our third year staying at Otter Cliff Cottage, and we couldn't be happier with the accommodations. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient, and Amanda is a wonderful host. She continues to make some minor upgrades to the already well-appointed cottage, and she is always quick to respond to questions or problems. We'll plan to return next summer as well!

Perfect cottage in a choice location

The cottage was clean, very nice and well stocked. Perfect for my wife and I. The location was great for close proximity to Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor, and NorthEast Harbor as well as Acadia and many hikes We took a few hikes directly from the path by the house as well. So many hikes and so little time. Communication with the owner was great. Highly recommend!!

Comfortable, Convenient, Clean

Immaculately clean, comfortable beds and conveniently located for those who don't want to be in the busy hub of Bar Harbor at night but want the close proximity to everything. Our family enjoyed the trails during the day, Bar Habor and for dinner (Blaze was great when you've reached your seafood limit), and the quiet atmosphere of the VRBO at night while roasting s'mores over the fire. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful!

This is our second year spending a week at Otter Cliff Cottage, and we had another fantastic experience! The cottage was equipped with many cooking supplies, pantry items, a washer and dryer, and comfortable beds! You can’t beat the location- close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Amanda was very communicative and super easy to work with. We’d love to stay again!

MDI cottage with all we needed

We found the cottage true to its photos and description. The location is between Seal and Bar Harbor, which worked well for us. The fire pit and gas grill weee both nice perks we enjoyed. Owner is responsive and check in/ out as well as recommendations before our trip were great. The little store at the end of the street was also so lovely and we visited multiple times.

Cottage did not disappoint

My wife, son and dog Maya recently rented Otter Creek Cottage. We found the Cottage to be clean, neat and organized. The location was perfect to get to Northeast Harbor, Bar Harbor and the Acadia Park. The property manager Amanda was very pleasant to work with, she returned communications very quickly and provided some nice suggestions. We are already discussing renting the Cottage again next year.

Great Location & Property

We really enjoyed our stay at the Otter Cliffs cottage. It was well laid out, plenty of room, clean, and had all the provisions we needed. It is located in Acadia National Park, so we were able to hike right into the park, or it was just a very quick drive to it, as well. Also, a short drive to Bar Harbor. We lost power due to a wind storm that came through the area while we were there. Amanda was very responsive and compassionate. She brought water and other provisions we might need right away, but the power came back later in the day. All around would definitely recommend a stay here if you're in the area.

Great stay at Parson House!

Parson house is very well maintained and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay with our two children! The location is perfect, very easy to walk to Acadia National park (we did the Cadillac Mountain South trail, you can pick up the trail head after a 5 min walk). The kitchen was very well equipped, towels very soft, and the house was spacious. Peggy was a great host and communication was excellent. We would definitely stay again next time we come to Acadia!

Great cottage and great stay

The cottage was clean, well appointed, comfortable, and satisfied all our needs. Peggy, could not have been more friendly and helpful. We followed many of her suggestions for good experiences and were very pleased with all of them. Even though the weather was cool, the airconditioning was apppreciated.

Great place to stay on Mount Desert Island

We had a wonderful time at Otter Cliff Cottage. It's a nice quiet neighborhood only 15 minutes from Bar Harbor, even closer to Seal Harbor. The cottage was well kept and equipped. Amanda, the hostess, is very accommodating, and goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable. Our only regret was not staying two weeks instead of one. I would recommend this property and plan to book it again if we make it back to Mount Desert Island / Acadia National Park.
