The cottage was just as described, very clean, fully equiped, great location and nice neighborhood.Marissa was a wonderful hostess I highly recommend her place. We were closs enough to Acadia but didn't have to deal with the congestion of Bar Harbor unless we wanted to. So glad we chose to stay here instead!

The location of the house was lovely, and the property has so much potential. But, it was not clean or stocked in the way the listing described. We had to buy our own toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels. There was no hair dryer or shampoo as described in the listing. The floors were messy and there were tons of cobwebs. The welcome candies expired in 2023.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely little cottage. We enjoyed the thoughtful decor as well as the new loft for reading! The skylights throughout the cottage helped to bathe the house in natural sunlight and brightened each room. The cottage was close to several places to eat as well as the park and Bar Harbor, where we enjoyed hiking and shopping during our 3 night stay. This stay was wonderful all the way around!

Nicely updated cozy hideaway by Southwest Harbor. Well-stocked, modern conveniences, perfect size for a small family. A pleasant landing spot after each day’s Acadia adventures.

The house was wonderful and close to everything. My 16 year old loved the loft area. We found the Southwest Harbor area to be wonderful and will definitely stay again.

Charming Maine Stay
We enjoyed staying in the well-equipped house while visiting the Acadia area. Our teenager loved the loft! Both kids enjoyed the games while the parents enjoyed the backyard space.
