6 Reviews of Property 109103 in Acadia National Park, Maine

The cottage was exactly as described, and was clean, private, and very comfortable. The views of Goose Cove were spectacular (especially in the early morning), and Weslea and Curtis were warm and welcoming hosts. We had a great time, and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Acadia.

This cottage is lovely. Simple, quaint with a charming history, filled with light, beautiful view, quiet and secluded. Wonderful owners.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. The cottage is comfortable and it is well equipped with cooking pots and pans and a stove and oven that worked fine. The full size bed is comfortable and you can sit there and look out the window to the water, reading a book and watching the weather change. The other room has a twin bed and a cot, and they were both comfortable. The screen porch is great, particularly because there are too many mosquitoes to sit on the lawn unless the weather is very sunny with a nice breeze. The interior of the cottage is bright, with a high ceiling and plenty of windows. The living room could use another reading chair and a good reading lamp.

The view here is very pretty, and there is plenty of yard around the cottage for our dog to run and play. However, we were very disappointed that there is no easy access to the water. The description of the property suggests that you can walk down to the water, however, the path was overgrown with brambles and it is pretty steep. We thought we would be able to launch our kayaks from the property, but we had to launch them at a different site and paddle them over to the rocky ledge at the base of the property. We cleared the path with some cutting tools so that we could access the kayaks from the house. When we were ready to go home we had to paddle the boats back to the other launch site and have someone else meet us with the car. However, once the path was somewhat passable, it was lovely to kayak from the house around the cove and out into the bay when the water was calm. We saw porpoises, seals, eagles, gulls, terns, herons, and other birds while we were paddling, and there was a deer in the meadow behind the house and a raccoon along the driveway.

Overall, this is a comfortable and pleasant cottage. It's in a very quiet location, the stars are stunning, and the ever changing weather on MDI is always entertaining. The cottage is a good base to explore the island, but if you want to spend a lot of time on the Bar Harbor side it is a little far to keep driving back and forth. Southwest Harbor is within easy reach. We also went to Northeast Harbor and took a spectacular boat ride on the "Sea Princess" up along Somes Sound. Choose a clear day to go, and then drive along Sargent Drive back to Abels Lobster Pound for a casual lobster dinner along the Sound.



The cottage was neat and welcoming when we arrived but it could use a really thorough cleaning.h

We had a great time here at beautiful quaint cottage right on Goose Cove in West Tremont, Mount Desert Island (Maine). Cozy fire, and expnsive yard (although mostly covered with snow for us in December), and nice walk down to the rocky shore......with a great view of the Cove/Bay right out your window when you wake up. I can imagine even more impressive a place in Spring/Summer/Fall. Our host Weslea a very nice lady, down the road a piece, but available to help. Would strongly recommend!
