The house was very comfortable, and the location was convenient if you prefer to stay on the "quiet side" of MDI.

Could not have been better for us. Quiet location on the quiet part of the island, but within 30 minutes of most any point in Acadia. For an amateur astronomer, it was as I had hoped, with a non-light polluted spot to gaze mere steps from the back door. Property was clean and comfortable, and the owner was available and gracious.

We had a great stay on the quieter side of the island. The property was secluded with a fabulous view of the meadow. We watched deer every morning and a turkey family roosted in the tree outside every night. Plenty of space for four adults to space out and everything was immaculately clean, comfortable, bright (once we figured out the dimmer switches) and airy.

This was the final stop in our New England tour. And what a way to end it! The home is charming, inviting, clean, and well equipped. The location is wonderful! The deer were out behind the house each day. The blueberries were just starting to ripen. It was a 20-25 min drive into bar harbor and we were thankful to be in a quieter area like southwest harbor. I would recommend this home to anyone traveling to MDI

This property was so comfortable and charming. We had great experience staying here. The location is so beautiful, relaxing on the deck is a vacation in and of itself! The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean and updated. The kitchen has most everything you would need. It’s super easy to get to all the local sites but tucked away in a quiet spot. The village of Southwest harbor is only a 5 minute drive and has lovely little strip for dining and shopping. There is also a swimming beach nearby at Echo lake that wasn’t even that crowded on our hottest day there. You could really relax there. I would stay here again, for sure!

Home was very nice. Quiet and restful. Saw wildlife from the dinning room table. Easy enough drive to Acadia. Would certainly return.

This was our second Acadia trip and we absolutely loved the quiet side of the island! The cottage was quaint and secluded. It was cozy and the perfect spot to return for a rest after a full day exploring!

We had a wonderful family gathering at Blueberry Field Cottage. From the ease of finding the cottage to the check-in process, to the views and the comfort of the cottage, everything was great. We would definitely come back again. Thank you! The Blairs from NM

This place felt like home. The beautiful backyard area in the fall and the quiet scenery. It was a great stay to explore bar harbor and bike Acadia.

cottage was as advertised, although upon our arrival, due to a miscommunication between host and housekeeping, cottage was not cleaned, beds not made since previous tenants. However, once error was discovered, mistake was corrected in a very timely manner . We loved remote location and natural landscape on backside of property. Would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at the house. It is a perfect location to be able to access Acadia and then come back to a quieter location. House is clean, spacious, includes everything you need and the views are great.

We enjoyed our stay. Great location for hiking. We saw deer in the front yard every morning. And there is a cute coffee shop about 5 minutes away. If you stay here, make sure to follow the host’s directions to the property. The map app on my phone tried to take us to a neighboring property. My only complaint was the upstairs tub did not drain well. Otherwise we had a great time.

Comfy bedrooms, nice floor plan, peaceful location with easy access to lots of hiking. It just needs a few more cookware and dishware items. We hope to return soon!

Property worked well for our Acadian vacation. We thought the location outside of Southwest Harbor was great. Nice to be on the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island but have access to everything! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your property!

Lovely home, peaceful location but close to town and activities. Very clean and bright with lots of windows to enjoy the setting.

My family and I always look forward to our return to this fantastic home. It truly is our happy place! Kathryn's property is clean, organized, and very peaceful. It is close to Echo Lake and two of our favorite hikes - Wonderland and Ship Harbor. We love the quiet side of the island and if you like nature and solitude, you will surely love it here too.

We had a fabulous stay in blueberry lane in southwest harbor. The house is tucked away but still very accessible and a great spot between the quieter side of the island and bar harbor. The house was clean, had everything we needed and the hosts were quick to answer questions! Would absolutely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful time at the cottage. Perfect location for exploring all of Mt. Desert Island while in a quiet and beautiful location. Hope we can visit again soon!

This house was a perfect home base to explore MDI for our family of four. It is clean, comfortable, has a well stocked kitchen, near hiking trails and the views of the blueberry field and mountains were amazing. We loved watched the deer and turkeys every morning as we prepared for our daily adventure. Kathy is the perfect host!

We loved this house. It was the cleanest home we’ve ever stayed in! It was in a great location, loved wandering out to the blueberry bushes and saw deer in the morning. Kathy was wonderful to work with, she circled in with us to see how we were enjoying our stay and the area. We highly recommend staying in this property!

It was for the amount of people we had and it was somewhat remote but not very far from everything.

This is our 2nd time staying at Blueberry Cottage and I’m pleased to say that we loved it just as much as the first time. It was perfect for our family. So quiet and peaceful with a lovely view of a meadow and mountains in the distance. The cottage had everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave! I highly recommend staying at Blueberry Cottage.

Home is in a great location on the quiet side of the island. Convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed watching the turkeys and deer in the field every day. Home was clean and bright. My only wish would have been a few kitchen condiments such as vegetable oil spray and salt/pepper and kitchen garbage bags. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was my wife and I and our adult children (and girlfriends) - 6 people total. The house was perfect for our needs - not too far from Bar Harbor and Acadia but outside of the hustle and bustle. My favorite part was the window lined wall - enjoying some coffee while looking out over what appeared to be blueberry fields was a great way to start a day in Maine! Would definitely recommend a stay here.

House was located on quiet road with deer and turkeys on the property. It was very clean and beautifully appointed. Perfect for Acadia and short trip to Bar Harbor. Absolutely recommend this house for life on the quiet side!

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage. It was clean and well maintained.
The kitchen had nice appliances and had the basics in dishes, utensils, etc. All the windows made us feel like we were a part of nature. The location was private, but an easy drive to other attractions. The upstairs beds left something to be desired. We liked the little gas stove in the livingroom. It took the chill off and was cozy. It was a great place to stay!

We loved the remoteness of the Blueberry Cottage, yet it was close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor too.

Perfect accommodations for our party of 4. Roomy. Secluded but not. In middle of woods but very close to Southwest Harbor. Short drive to Bar Harbor, Acadia and Cadillac Mountain. Scenery aplenty. Beautiful area. Thanks for a great stay.

This was our second time staying here. We like that it can accommodate our multi-generational family and still allow for some space and privacy on the two floors.

The house was a great layout for our family of four. We knew we were staying on the quiet side of the island with quick access to Echo Lake and trails.
We enjoyed the sunrise in the field. (You may want to pack an eye mask if you are used to a dark bedroom).
One thing to note, this house is not air conditioned (I didn’t think to look for it). The temperature was fine, but when it rained, it was very humid in the house.
5.0
We stayed six nights at this wonderful property outside southwest harbor. Its an easy drive to all Mount Desert Island and a more idyllic spot couldn't be found every night and morning deer and turkeys roam the large blueberry meadow behind the property. Very clean. Would definitely stay there again.

We loved Blueberry Lane!
This cottage surpassed our expectations-- very clean and welcoming, from the drive up the driveway through the beautiful forest, to the blueberry fields/meadow in the back-- we loved every second of our week here. We picked blueberries, listened to the birds, watched deer and wild turkeys roam past the house, and played in the forest...perfect getaway for my city kids! Cottage had everything we needed to cook and beds were very comfortable. Many of the hikes we did, plus the bustle of Bar Harbor are about a 20 minute drive, but we didn't mind a little drive as it allowed us time to explore and see Acadia. In Southwest Harbor near the cottage, we loved Little Notch Bakery (best pizza and pastries!) & blueberry ice cream at Salt. Also highly recommend a visit to the farm stand at Beech Hill Farms nearby. This was one of my favorite houses we've ever stayed in!

Beautiful spot with amazing views
Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Very accommodating host, in Kathy, especially with all the Corona issues.
Nature literally on your doorstep. Deer and birds wandering by at breakfast.
House was perfect and had all essentials and more. Perfect for exploring Acadia and Southwest harbor.
