Wonderful dog friendly place to stay!

Wonderful dog friendly place to stay! Easy to get to and a great location to explore Mount Dessert Island from! - (Nov 2024 - ABNB)

The place is very clean and I really like the vibe.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. I really liked that all the rooms were essentially baby proofed. The place is very clean and I really like the vibe. Will be booking here again the next time we go. - (Sep 2024 - ABNB)

Great location!

Great location! We caught the bus at the end of the driveway once, but then drove into the Acadia Visitor Center ourselves every day after that because it worked better with our schedule. It was less than a 10 minute drive to Acadia and there were multiple food and ice cream places on the way. The place itself was clean and had everything we needed. It didn't have WiFi (which we knew from the listing) but we all had at least some cell service at the house. We would definitely recommend! - (Aug 2024 - ABNB)

Got to see some wildlife around the pond, including eagles!

There were 4 of us staying here for a week, and there was plenty of space. Didn't feel cramped. Originally I had some concern about there being just one air conditioner, but it cooled down the whole place just fine! The location was excellent, just far enough outside Bar Harbor to be away from the crowds, but close enough to gead into town whenever we wanted without it taking too much time. The house being back on a private drive also cuts down on traffic noise compared to many of the other hotels that are right on the main roads. The outdoor space was wonderful, we used the grill multiple nights to cookout and eat on the balcony at the picnic table. Also got to see some wildlife around the pond, including eagles! The owners were very friendly as well. This was a great place to stay for a week, and I 100% would stay here again next time I'm in Maine! Date of arrival - July 13, 2024

10 Pond View was a wonderful place to stay.

10 Pond View was a wonderful place to stay. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. Nice and private location. Convenient to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened porch while watching the ducks at the pond. No wi-fi but we were able to get service on our cell phones. A great home away from home. Would definitely rent again. - (Oct 2023 - ABNB)

Clean, quiet location, but close to everything.

We loved this spot so much, last year, we rented it again! Clean, quiet location, but close to everything. Owners are very nice. The only complaint is no wifi, and a fire pit would be nice too! - (Oct 2023 - ABNB)

Awesome!

Awesome! 
Second time my wife and I have stayed at this rental and if able, we would do it again. Although it is a little dated, it has all the things one needs while relaxing away from home. We got the chance to meet the owners and they were unbelievably accommodating and friendly. The grounds are kept spotless and it's 10 minute drive to Bar Harbor or to the local airport. - (Oct 2020 - Previous)

I would definitely recommend staying here. Host was very nice and friendly.

Acadia Cottage Rentals was a great air bnb. The place was located just 15 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and less than 30 minutes from anywhere on the island. Lots of hiking available, just a 15-20 minute drive to Cadillac mtn. There is a Walmart plus other shopping options about 15-20 minutes in Ellsworth. The air bnb was the cleanest I have been to, absolutely spotless. It was easy to find, we had lots of space and privacy. I would definitely recommend staying here. Host was very nice and friendly. - (Aug 2019 - ABNB)

We had an enjoyable experience in a great location!

We stayed for a week and slept comfortably every night. The pond was such a wonderful perk- my kids and husband fished every night after dinner. The house had everything we needed with a few minor things that could be improved upon. We ran out of hot water taking showers (there were 2 adults and 2 kids) after hiking all day so we learned we had to space them out at night and not all shower in a row. The silverware looked very loved so we bought plastic ware we used during our stay. The master bedroom bed was very comfy but would've loved for it to be a smidge bigger. The perks of the home certainly were the great location, beautiful setting with a gorgeous back yard/deck (we played Yahtzee every night out there!), fun pond to fish in, comfortable living room furniture/beds and everything you need for cooking in the kitchen! We loved having a washer and dryer bc we packed light and hiked often! We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back here on our next trip to Acadia!! Thank you for opening your wonderful home to us- we loved it!

Pond View - Five Stars

Property is well kept and maintained. Apt was spotless and well appointed. I liked the Kanes very much and happy they live on the property. The pond was so relaxing to watch with its ducks, Canada Goose and big Blue Heron who dropped in daily. This vacation spot has a 5 star rating as far as I go.

A delightful cottage

My husband and I love this place! This was our second summer to stay here. We loved it so much last year, we returned again this year. It is a nice size cottage on a large lot. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a full kitchen. It is quiet, peaceful, and very comfortable. It is also very close to Acadia National Park. There is a pond just steps away where you can see ducks and geese and some fish. The owners of this cottage, Bill and Claudia, are delightful and very kind. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful property.

Comfortable place, beautiful view

My wife and I stayed at the house in June as we toured Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. The house was clean and comfortable. The sun porch looks out on a scenic pond. This location is a great place to relax and enjoy the Maine attractions.

First Time in Acadia. Cleanest house ever rented!!

The Pond View was perfect for our needs. We trailered our motorcycles up there and needed a big drive for parking. Once there, The Kane's were gracious enough to let us park the bikes in the garage. One of the first things I noticed was how clean it was...we have rented houses throughout our lives and, hands down, this was the cleanest house we ever rented!! We had one "glitch" the first night and had to call the next morning. The Kane's stopped over personally and handled the issue that day. They even compensated us by adding to the refund of the deposit without us even asking. They are quality people who care about their property and the people who rent it!! I would definitely stay there again. Location - It is a great location, a short drive (or ride) to the center of town but there were good eats and even miniature golf close!!
