Exceeded our expectations!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 25, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My family and I were very pleased with our choice to rent this house. Sherrie did a great job on the renovation and just wait until you see the third floor. My two adult boys loved staying up there. It was like having their own apartment. My wife and my mom loved sitting out on the porch in the morning. The house is very spacious and is truly on a quiet street, yet only a 5-6 minute walk to both Jordan's for breakfast and Hannaford Supermarket (take the shortcut by the back of Hannaford). Walk a couple of more minutes and you'll find yourself at Cottage Street Bakery where my wife and I were able to get our cappuccinos. Everything else in downtown Bar Harbor was well within walking distance. I highly recommend this house.

Ideal Place to Stay!

Spindrift Cottage was the perfect place to stay in Bar Harbor - it's quiet but so close to town and the local amazing grocery store is right around the corner. We walked everywhere! Also appreciated the 2 dedicated parking spaces so we could be off the street. We were 2 couples who enjoyed having comfortable space to share and be together but also enough room to have that much needed privacy. The decor and paint colors are fresh and relaxing; kitchen, baths and laundry are convenient and well appointed. Everything looks newly done, sparkling clean and well thought out - especially the details in the kitchen. We loved cooking several meals at "home" and relaxing on the porch in the evening with a glass of wine. There is no shortage of activities to participate in and you are so fortunate to have the beautiful Acadia Park in your back yard. We biked, hiked, kayaked, toured the bay - and the Atlantic Brewery - gotta love that blueberry beer! Beer! Lobster! Blueberry Everything - but especially the pie! It's heaven!! I have to put in a plug for Gentle Yoga at Cattitude on Main Street. Do it when you first arrive and it will set the tone perfectly for relaxation! It erases the stress of a long flight or drive and they are very welcoming. I highly recommend Spindrift Cottage - Thank you for providing us with a home away from home and a beautiful, relaxing week!

A Great Home Away from Home.

5 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
The house was nice, clean and neat. We felt very welcome by the Owner and the house had everything we needed - felt like home. The location was great, right in Town. Everything worked properly, the grill, AC's, TV, washer/dryer, etc.

The third floor rooms are beautiful, the family loved their space.

We had trouble with the internet one day and the Owner had it fixed right away. so overall it was a great stay.

Hopefully we can stay here again, maybe next year.
