Overview
House, 2 Bedrooms 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)
Rocko's Cottage is located on a side street in the downtown area of the beautiful island town of Bar Harbor. We are pet friendly for your well mannered four legged friends. Rocko is actually our 7 lb Dorkie. (Dachshund/Yorkie)
You will be within walking distance of over 25 restaurants ranging from fine dining to family fare. Bicycle rentals, kayaking trips, and unique shops galore are all within minutes of your front door and yes we can tell you which of these places welcome pets. Walk the shore path or across a natural sand bar (actually a glacial deposit) to visit beautiful Bar Island. Never have to worry about parking your car or enjoying a cocktail and then driving.
Rocko's Cottage was built in 2005 and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. You will find everything that you need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities of life, and the linens are all in good condition. The open floor plan actually makes our cottage appear much larger inside. It must be noted that the bathroom does not have a tub but does have a nice 4 ft. shower and for your convenience there is a stackable washer and dryer. This is a great house and location for people that travel with pets or just one or two couples or a small family that want to stay in the heart of town. Once you visit us you will be sure to return again and again.
The owners live and work locally and we are always only a phone call away if there is a problem. Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay....

Exceptional!
5/5 -

Very nice with excellent location
The owner Lisa was so helpful since we had never been to the area before. This place was immaculate and within walking distance to all restaurants and shops with all the comforts of your own home, yet also being pet friendly. Don't hesitate to book, you won't be disappointed!!
Perfect place for us!
We stayed at Rocco's cottage this past weekend it and was perfect for us!! Great location, close to everything in town, walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops, and a short drive to the park. The house was quiet and clean. Plus, we could bring our dog so that made it ideal! The king bed was very comfortable and we slept great! For the price you can't beat it. I hope we can return in the future :)
Top Notch Accommodations
Lisa greeted us upon our arrival. She welcomed us and explained a few of the workings of the house. We settled in and were so pleasantly pleased with all the accommodations. From the comfortable bed, the bedding, the towels and the shower, everything was nice and appeared new. The kitchen had all the necessary amenities and were of good quality. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The house is in a great location for walking to so much of
what Bar Harbor has to offer. I feel we found exactly what we were looking for in a rental
property at this location, and I would certainly recommend it. Thanks for a great vacation spot!
Spotless, Great Location, Great Owners!
The house was spotless and conveniently located to downtown Bar Harbor. We walked everywhere! Also very conveniently located to Acadia which is just a few minutes drive. The owners were very easy to deal with, close by in case we needed anything but left us be all weekend! Great stay!
great place
This cottage was everything we needed or could have wanted. It was better then the pictures posted. The location, although very close to town, was private and quiet. It is someplace we would go back to. Thanks for a great and comfortable time.
Awesome location! Very comfortable!
I was in town to run the MDI Marathon and came up with my son. My friend ,her son, and his service dog angel also accompanied us for the trip. We had plenty of space and were so excited to be so close to downtown Bar Harbor. The house is perfect, super clean, beds are so comfy, kitchen has plenty of dishes, etc. I have nothing but good things to say and would come
back again in a second. It's going to be hard to leave! It just feels like home! Owners were great and live close by so if you need anything they are available. Wifi was great to have because my phone service was not too great in the area. There is a great little binder with info and a basket full of maps and pamphlets for tons of attractions
in the area. Ive stayed in about 15 home away properties and this is number 1 on the list for me! Thanks so much!!!
