My two children, Ben the dog and I loved our week in this cottage in a neighborhood in Bar Harbor. Easy walk to all that Bar Harbor has to offer, including the Village Green where free buses to all over MDI await. We also brought our bikes and would highly recommend that as well. The owner was friendly and checked in daily, without being at all intrusive. The cottage was cozy and clean with everything we needed for restful times in between excursions.

We had an amazing vacation in Bar Harbor. Robin is excellent to work with and we found the property to be everything that she said it would be. Robin is also very helpful in answering questions that you may have about area attractions and offers suggestions if things to do as well. The cottage is walking distance to town which ensures you will not need to circle town in an attempt to find a parking space. You are also close to the local YMCA and the town tennis courts. The cottage was cute and very clean, and Robin provides basic cooking utensils and pots and pans. I highly recommend this rental property and look forward to a return trip sometime in the future.

Immaculate cottage

  • Submitted: Jul 30, 2010
  • Stayed: Jul 2010
I came here for a week with my partner and our two dogs. The cottage itself was incredibly clean and very cozy. Location was absolutely perfect as it was just far enough from the downtown strip to be quiet and removed yet a five minute walk into town. Acadia Park is close as well. The owner was incredibly friendly and provided information if we needed and a local's insight on some things which you might not find in a guidebook of from a front desk clerk. If you are looking to cook a few meals yourself, want a little more room than a hotel, great value for your money and a nice spot to call you home base, I would highly recommend this property. Exactly as advertised.
