Absolutely Charming!

Dear Jay & Diane,

We want to thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful home
for our family vacation. The Rice Cottage was absolutely PERFECT! We were pleasantly surprised to see that the home was conveniently located just steps away from shops and restaurants of the quaint Southwest Harbor. We enjoyed the charming antique decor, the cleanliness of the home, the large selection of linens, the fully functional kitchen and especially the chairs in the back yard where we could watch the hundreds of butterflies in the fields for hours!

I look forward to recommending our home to family and friends with future
travel plans to Acadia.

Most sincerely,

Violeta

Well appointed home in the center of Southwest Harbor. We walked to the bakery in the morning and out to dinner in the evenings. Lovely set up. Our teenage children were upstairs in the original house and we had our own suite in the new area. Clean, clean, clean. Plenty of towels and kitchen was superbly stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners have thought of everything to help make your vacation a special one.

We stayed here a few seasons ago and are anticipating a return visit. We were just checking availability online and realized that we failed to write a review. This house was so fabulous, that when we arrived we called the owners to make sure that they really wanted to rent it :) No detail was overlooked; the main house is charming and the addition is really spacious. We recommended the cottage to our friends and they also stayed and were thrilled. The location is awesome; close to Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor, Acadia, great shops, kayaking, and a wonderful bike shop on the block. We look forward to another stay!
