Lovely cottage - just like the pictures

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Oct 22, 2012

My husband and I had a wonderful 8-day stay in the cottage. It has all the amenities you could need and everything is in terrific shape. The kitchen is fully equiped and has nice, new appliances. The decor is lovely and very cozy. It looks exactly like the pictures, only they don't convey how comfy everything is. Melissa was very quick to answer all of our questions too. It is in a quiet neighborhood off the main road which is a big plus, but you do need to drive to everything. Still, the island is small enough that nothing is more than 20 minutes away. Highly recommended.

Harbor Star Cottage Holiday

Three sisters and two of their daughters used Harbor Star Cottage as a home base as we explored Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. This cottage is perfect-so clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is equipped with the best of appliances, utensils, and cookware. There are spa like soaps at every sink and "green" cleaning products. We were beyoned comfortable. One other very important bit: the owners are easy to contact and quick with their arrangements. Highly recommend.

Harbor Star Cottage is great!

This was the second year my 80 year old parents and I stayed at the Harbor Star Cottage. What an ideal location and setting, away from the crowds of Bar Harbor but close enough to get everywhere a tourist would like to go. House is well equipped (and clean!) with everything you could need, great kitchen, comfortable beds and two full baths. Im hopeful we will be able to return again next summer.

Great spot to relax in SW Harbor!

We had an excellent time staying at this property. We loved the layout of the cottage and the proximity to the village of South West Harbor. Away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, being on the quiet side was really nice way to spend days or relax after the numerous outdoor activities we did. The cottage was in pristine condition when we arrived and evertything we could think of needing was already provided for our use. the owners have definitely thought of everything here and really strive to make your expereince truely enjoyable and relaxing. Having an outside deck to relax upon after a long day was great as well. We loved being right down the street from the Echo Lake entrance of Acadia National Park and frequented the beach there on almost a daily basis with our 1 year old daughter. This cottage is set up with families in mind, which we greatly appreciated with the little one running around! We'll definitely ne back to vacation here, one of the most enjoyable and relaxing times we've had in a while! The owners are very prompt in responding to questions and inquiries and seem genuinely interested in your family enjoying their cottage. Book this property, you won't be disappointed!

A Perfect Home Away From Home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Aug 12, 2010
  • Stayed: Jul 2010
Harbor Star Cottage was very clean and inviting when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked (with the exception of a pizza pan and cutter - but we easily made due without them). It was nice to have coffee there for us in the morning since we hadn't grocery shopped yet. All appliances worked well and the ceiling fans upstairs kept it cool enough for sleeping. I think the peace and quiet was what we enjoyed most about the cottage and surrounding area, and the cottage's proximity to Acadia park, Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor. It was extremely easy to get around the island from the Cottage's location to see all of the attractions on Mount Desert Island. The only supply that was missing was soap for bathing, but we found some liquid soap and used that. Maybe we should have brought our own soap, but we didn't know to do that. It was a perfect vacation and Harbor Star Cottage was the perfect place to call home at the end of a busy day!!!
