Family and I stayed at cottage for two weeks Very clean nice setup for younger kids A bit of a drive into town but we were looking to stay on the quiet side of MDI so this was perfect for us. Great communication. Would stay here again.

The cottage had absolutely everything we needed. It was very clean and directions were very clear. We stayed as 2 adult couples so the 2 bathrooms were perfect! I would not hesitate to stay here again. Beautiful garden too

Our week stay here at Ripples cottage, celebrating our Anniversaries, was absolutly Wonderful in every way! As we walked under the archway we entered into a relaxing, serendipitous, character filled, home away from home atmosphere! From the "Picture painting wall of windows"in the kitchen/living room to the master bedroom with another spacious place to relax, this place was put together by an artistic eye as you'll see! The landscape was so pretty in the Spring with pretty azaleas under the gentle whispering pine trees and so much more! We loved hearing the owls and seeing the deer outback and wild turkeys along the quiet road we walked out front too. Making our meals and using all the new appliances was a joy as we celebrated our vacation here! Thank-you Bobbie for sharing this masterpiece with us on the quiet side of Acadia, we hope to come back some day!

Ripples Cottage captures you as you first walk in with it's wall of windows and a peaceful view of the yard and lots of green trees. Our favorite walk down, what else?, Ripples Road brings us to more Ripples as the water comes pouring from the lake and down a series of steps, under the road to manifest as a stream on the other side. It was a wonderful property, and communication with the host was simple.

We loved Ripples cottage. Very spacious layout and perfectly centered in the middle of MDI. The yard was great, where I toddler spent most of the time hunting for mushrooms. Definitely looking to return again next year.

Ripples Cottage sits between the "Quiet Side" and the busier eastern side of Mount Desert Island, making it super convenient to get to either bustling Bar Harbor or the less crowded areas of Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor. The property is private, comfortable, and full of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Bobbie was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in/check out was very easy. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay, I loved the location and spread out ability of the property. Having laundry on site was a big plus. Also really appreciated having linens and towels provided since we were traveling from far away. The kitchen was well set up for our needs and the beds were super comfortable!
