This cottage was the perfect place to stay with my husband! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage was incredibly clean, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The bed deserves a special mention-it was probably the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in at an Airbnb! We both have back problems, so having such a comfortable bed made a huge difference. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and were always available if we needed anything. The location was also perfect-within walking distance of Bar Harbor, an easy bike ride to the carriage roads, and just a short drive into Acadia National Park. We've been coming to Maine for the past six years, and this is by far our favorite place we've ever stayed. We absolutely loved our time here and would definitely stay at there again! - (Sep 2026 - ABNB)

Every detail was thoughtful - from the cottage instructions to the utensils in the kitchen. We had plenty of clean, white bath and hand towels. The decor was so tastefully done! The many windows opened to let in the fresh air and the back deck and grill were used every day! Parking at the Cottage was nice and easy. The walk to town was through a pleasant part of town, and quick enough to be convenient for shopping or activities. Thank you for a wonderful stay!! It was a lovely home away from home! - (Sep 2026 - ABNB)

Quiet, secluded and cozy

If you're vacationing at Acadia National Park, you must book this cottage. The cottage is walkable to downtown Bar Harbor and all that's offered there and a short drive to ANP. Quiet, secluded and cozy, the cottage was prefect for our getaway. Kitchen well appointed and great view of woods off back patio. - (Jun 2026 - ABNB)

Beautiful cottage minutes from downtown Bar Harbor.

Beautiful cottage minutes from downtown Bar Harbor. Walking to downtown Bar Harbor is about 15 minutes. 10 minute drive to Arcadia National Park. We rented bikes for a day and rode the carriage trails and went back to the cottage and downtown easily. The cottage was very clean with all the amenities that made our vacation stress free and relaxing. We hope to go again. - (Sep 2025 - VRBO)

The cottage is perfect for two.

The cottage is perfect for two. The loft bedroom is very nice. Everything you can imagine needed to prepare food is there. A nice gas grill on back deck for your favorite grill treat. Comfortable living area that looks out into the woods , with TV, or to read books and unwind from days' hiking. Very close to park entrance, carriage roads, and DT Bar Harbor. We spent a week there and loved it. The host lives near by but is respectful of your privacy and yet dropped by on day 2-3 for 5 mins. to see if we needed anything. Was proactive to make sure we were 100% happy. And we were! I will put this stay on my return to Acadia plan for the future. I recommend it without reservation. - (Sep 2025 - ABNB)

We loved it!

Central location to both the village and the park couldn't be any better. Beautiful place. It had everything we wanted. We even started playing backgammon again. Mornings on the porch before the day's adventure was a great start. - (Aug 2025 - ABNB)

Wonderful cottage for our week visit to Acadia NP!

Wonderful cottage for our week visit to Acadia NP! Everything in Bar Harbor we walked to. (supermarket, organic market, ferry trip to Schoodic area of the park, dinners and shopping). Great home base to explore the park. Quiet and comfortable. We prepared a few meals in the fully equipped kitchen. The cottage is adorable. Excellent for a couple. Highly recommend!!! - (Jun 2025 - ABNB)

The cottage made a great home base.

The cottage is centrally located to both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. You can walk 15 minutes and be in downtown Bar Harbor or walk about 10 minutes to a Hampton Inn nearby and catch the free Island Explorer bus which will take you to the village green where you can catch other busses to go to Southeast Harbor and Acadia. You can walk up the road from the cottage and in a matter of minutes be on a carriage road in Acadia. The main visitor center for Acadia National Park at Hull's Cove is a 5 minute drive. The cottage sits on the property of the renters which is right across the driveway but you wouldn't know it due to some strategic landscaping. The cottage main windows face woods and is quiet and private. The cottage doesn't have A/C but numerous windows, a ceiling fan and box fan so we were always comfortable. The small gas stove worked great to take the chill off. The kitchen had all the items we needed, including a nonstick pan for eggs. The cottage made a great home base. - (Jul 2024 - ABNB)

The location of this house is great!

The location of this house is great! It is half a block to the shopping district. It is half a block in the other direction to the path to Barr island. It's a great jumping off spot for all of Acadia. Bike rentals or kayak trips are 2-3 blocks away. The location is ideal! And one off-street spot means no looking for or paying for parking in Bar Harbor. It is a small and simple space but very adequate for a family of four. We cooked or grilled at home for several meals and enjoyed that. The grocery store is reasonably priced and is only 2 blocks away.
