Hillcrest Cottage

Review Submitted: September 4, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We recently spent a week in Robyn and Jim Simon's lovely Hillcrest Cottage in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Their home is situated on a secluded, peaceful property. All the linens, towels, dishes, pots and pans that you could possibly need are provided. There is even a lobster pot for those adventurous enough to cook their own. Don't let the unfinished second floor scare you away. There were six of us, and we had PLENTY of room to spread out and relax!
Mount Desert Island is the home to Acadia National Park, a nature wonderland. Everywhere you look is a 'Kodack moment'! There is SO much to do - hiking biking and swimming. And, after a day of satisfying exercise, you can relax at night by strolling in Bar Harbor, eating a delicious homemade ice cream cone and looking at all of the interesting shops.
A trip to Mount Desert Island is a must for everyone, and what better place to stay than Hillcrest Cottage!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words. We are SO glad that you enjoyed your time here in Acadia. We have tried hard to furnish our home with all the comforts you would expect to find in your own home and truly make it your home away from home. And we try hard to provide you with suggestions of things to see, do, and places to eat to help you experience as much of Acadia as possible during the time you are there. We love Acadia so much and wanted you to have memorable experiences also. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness of sharing your experiences.

Quiet Getaway

Review Submitted: August 3, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This home was well located close to Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of the island. It was in close proximity to hiking trails, canoeing and local restaurants. It was clean and had all of the amenities. Robyn and Jim left many suggestions for restaurants and trails to make our stay more enjoyable.
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Pet-friendly, Adventure Seekers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: We appreciate your kind words. We are happy that you got to enjoy all the many activities that make Acadia NP so irresistible. We tried hard to make our home be your home away from home by providing a well stocked home with many little extras as well as a welcome package overflowing with ideas of things to see and do even on rainy days. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experiences with us.

Your home was wonderfully located to do all the hiking, kayaking, dining, and exploring (we did) all week long. We loved MDI and all that it offers. We had a memorable vacation. Hard to believe places like this exist! Your house is spacious and well equipped!
