Wonderful cottage in picturesque area. Hosts were attentive & cottage was well furnished. Immediately outside of cottage was an amazing and not so busy National Wildlife Refuge with trails, wildlife and more.
The views from the back deck are unsurpassed. The cabin is picturesque with ample space and immaculately kept. The VRBO hosts are quick to respond, helpful and friendly. If you're looking for a place far away from it all and just enjoy nature, this is it!
The house is beautifully decorated and so cozy. There is a national wild life refuge steps away and anyone who stays here should definitely check it out. The owners made sure to check in with us when we arrived but we didn’t need a thing. It was perfect. I only wished we could have stayed longer!
This is a gem in rural Maine. Close enough for a day trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor but secluded enough to enjoy an outdoor fire pit and a glass of wine uninterrupted. Beautiful decor inside and well stocked with supplies. Comfortable beds, big kitchen, plenty of seating and quiet! Great hosts with good communication!
We stayed for 4 nights. The cottage had great ambiance and a good fire pit. We ended up staying in more often than we would’ve like due to the remnants of a hurricane, but we had extended family visit and there was plenty of space and was comfortable for everyone. We did visit the wildlife refuge a few times (and even to pick blueberries). I loved all the touches including a lobster pot for some last minute lobster feed.
My family of four and our close friends (also a family of four) stayed at this house over a long weekend trip to Acadia. While it is about 50 minutes from Bar Harbor, it's a shorter trip to the Schoodic Pennisula part of the park, and a lovely drive. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The house was very clean and modern. Beds comfortable, large enough table and living room where the 8 of us didn't feel crowded at all. The kids enjoyed sleeping and hanging out in the loft area. The bathroom is large and they had plenty of towels for everyone. The kitchen was well equiped, there were instructions in the manual and posted around the house for things like wifi, coffee maker, etc. Large deck in the back overlooking the water. Would stay here again!
The house is amazing, and the area is beautiful. There is so much lovely attention to detail in the house, and the rooms are big and very beautifully furnished. I can highly recommened this property!
We so enjoyed our stay!! It was perfect for the five of us. Great amenities! Beautiful ocean view, deck and fire pit. We loved hiking the Hollingsworth Trail just minutes away.
