Even more beautiful in person

Mm1106 Cincinnati, OH
Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I found this property to be even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures! The carriage house is warm, inviting, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. It is located in a wooded setting near town and the trails of Acadia National Park. We had originally thought about staying in Bar Harbor but are so glad we found the carriage house instead. It is a short walk to the quiet town of SW Harbor which has great restaurants and short drive to Bar Harbor. The owners have collected menus from wonderful restaurants and we had fabulous meals based on their recommendations. The owners also have compiled a binder of brochures of activities around the island. This was extremely helpful to us in deciding what to do. The carriage house has everything you need for a comfortable stay (including a comfy bed). My husband generally only likes to stay in very, very nice hotels and even he was impressed with this propery. We loved visiting Acadia and the restaurants on the island. I would highly recommend this property and would return. Thanks!

Comfortable and Cozy

Bob and Katie Boston, MA
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Cyd and Ken's carriage house was the perfect place to come home to after long days on the trails of Acadia. They were the perfect hosts, providing information on local restaurants and activities. The apartment was clean and stocked with kitchen amenities and cooking staples. Southwest Harbor is a quaint town without the tourist "craziness" you find in Bar Harbor.

We highly recommend staying with Cyd and Ken if you're looking for a quiet, comfortable and cozy Acadia experience.

A perfect place to relax

suja Hamburg Germany
Review Submitted: August 17, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The carriage house is a very quiet and nice place in a forest close to Southwest-Harbour. It is the cleanest house we have ever rented and everything !! is provided. If you still miss something, just tell your hosts, they are perfect. In case of bad weather you love to stay at home and enjoy it. There are two very comfortable sofas. Also you can do many hikes right from that place. We can very much recommend it. Thanks, it was great!!!!

We will stay here EVERY TIME we visit Acadia!

Duncan and Jennifer Westbrook, ME
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
My wife and I (and our dogs) stayed here after searching for a quiet cottage rental on the island. When we saw the pictures of the carriage house, we were excited to rent the place for a week last summer. We were not disappointed. The carriage house is immaculate and the hosts (who live in the main house on the property) were friendly, helpful, and respected our privacy.

The wooded lot is gorgeous; an island of sunshine in the midst of dense woods of pristine pines. The location--on the "quiet side of the island"--was exactly what we were looking for during our vacation. The trails surrounding the lot are beautiful. Seriously, this is a magical place!

We can recommend this rental without hesitation... just don't rent it during the week WE want to visit again next summer!

Winter experience

Patty & Scott New Jersey
Review Submitted: February 12, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Even though we came up during the winter we had a very nice stay at the carriage house. Cyd and Ken left all the helpful instructions you could ever need to have a pleasant stay.
