We really enjoyed our week at Rockbilt Cottage Loft.

We really enjoyed our week at Rockbilt Cottage Loft. It is a beautiful, comfortable space with amazing water views. It's in a quiet wooded area but very conveniently located to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare meals, the bed is very comfortable and there are very nice, private outdoor spaces. We would stay there again. - (Sep 2023 - AvailabilityOnline)

The Rockbilt Cottage Loft is a gem.

The Rockbilt Cottage Loft is a gem. The loft is spacious, clean, thoughtfully decorated, and only a short drive from Acadia National Park and the local attractions. Pam and Karl are gracious hosts. The recent additions to the space (private deck; air conditioning) were enthusiastically utilized. We hope to return one day. Highly recommend! - (Aug 2023 - AvailabilityOnline)

I highly recommend using Rockbuilt loft for a stay on Mount Desert Island.

Acadia National Park is a magical place to visit and 
staying at Rockbuilt loft added to the magic. The park was very accessible; I enjoyed biking the 
carriage roads, hiking trails, walking the beach and roads, cross-country skiing 
on the carriage roads, and ice skating at Eagle Lake and other ponds. Riding 
the carriage roads, you get to experience the silence of nature; bird song, 
brooks bubbling, and the occasional conversation with others who are out 
experiencing the quiet time in the park. 
Rockbuilt loft is a welcoming home after a day in the park. It is a very 
comfortable apartment and is well equipped for a long or short stay. I enjoyed 
waking to the beautiful views of sunrises over Frenchmen's bay or looking out 
on the west facing windows and seeing the iconic evergreen forest scene of 
Maine. Even the gray days were enjoyable; looking out on the snow or rain; 
curled up with a book in this cozy setting. The neighborhood was very quiet and 
the wooded area lent to lovely walks along the roads or to the beach. Rockbuilt 
loft is ideally located near Bar Harbor and Ellsworth. There are theaters in both 
towns; Met Opera, movies, and live theater, Sherman's bookstore in Bar Harbor 
and bookstore and don't miss Rooster Brother in Ellsworth. I enjoyed the Thai 
Restaurant in Bar Harbor, and Choco latte was my go to place for a Mexican Hot 
Chocolate after biking or hiking. Eating in is made easy with shopping at 
Hannafords or A&B Naturals In Bar Harbor. Indoor tennis or pickle ball is 
available at the Ellsworth Tennis Center. 
Adding to the pleasure of staying at Rockbuilt lofts meeting my gracious hosts, 
Pam and Karl. I felt very welcome to Point Lookout and they were readily 
available if I had any questions or needs at the apartment. - (Jul 2022)

The loft was just the perfect size and had everything we needed

Our stay was fantastic. The view was amazing. The loft was just the perfect size and had everything we needed. The family were so helpful and friendly. And the location was convenient for everything we wanted to do (hiking, Bar Harbor, golf) while also secluded and quiet. - (May 2021 - ABNB)

Very comfortable place for a week.

Loft was immaculate upon our arrival. Photos are accurate. Very comfortable place for a week. Proximity to Acadia is great. Water view over the bay is spectacular. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. - (Nov 2020 - ABNB)

It's perfect and has everything,

I can't say enough about this apartment. It's perfect and has everything, is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the private morning sunrise is breathtaking. It's very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and all the activities, while also being the perfect spot to "work from home" with the incredible view out to Frenchmen's Bay. We saw birds, seals, and deer from the window and there's a nice private path down to the waterfront. The hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful. We really felt "at home" and will be raving and recommending it to our family and friends! What a beautiful place that's got us thinking if we should leave the city to find our own nook in nature. You will certainly be happy with your choice if you get a chance to book here. Enjoy!

A fantastic, roomy and beautifully decorated space.

A fantastic, roomy and beautifully decorated space. So private in a wooded setting, yet so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia! Sooo much value for the money. If you can get the space, you're lucky indeed. - (Sep 2019 - ABNB)

It's a great place to stay, we would definitely recommend it

We stayed at Acadia Cottage Rentals' place for a week. The apartment is beautiful and exactly as seen in the pictures. It's very clean, nicely decorated, cute, and equipped with everything you need for your stay. The location is just perfect. You have an ocean view from the windows, it's quiet and close to everything you need. The hosts were very friendly and in general, we had a great and relaxing time.
