We enjoyed our stay at the Apple cottage. The cottage was spacious for a family of four and very quiet. The location was superb, with beautiful coastal and natural surroundings. Watching from the porch the sunrise over the water was something. Would come back again if we have a chance.

Apple Cottage is a cozy, quiet, waterfront cottage that made a great home base for our visit to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and other nearby sights. The kids enjoyed hunting for sand dollars and sea glass during low tide on the rocky shore in front of the cottage. Anne is a great hostess and provided detailed information on hikes, things to do and places to eat. She was very attentive to questions both before our trip and when I had quick questions while we were there.

Apple cottage was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Acadia. Close enough to all things Acadia but in a quiet location. Our kids really enjoyed the beach in the back yard! We had several deer visit each day. Bar Harbor was an easy 30 minute drive away. Anne provided a great list of places to eat and places to hike! She even describes the hikes and rates their difficulty for kids. We based most of our activities on her recommendations.

This was the third time we have stayed at Apple Cottage and have enjoyed it each time. It's always our first pick of places to say while vacationing at Acadia National Park.

The Apple Cottage was beautiful. It is oceanside and set on a property that is secluded and peaceful. Deer visited us morning and evening, adding to the relaxed feeling. It was on the quiet side of Acadia but close enough to all of the Park to make hiking and other activities accessible. We plan to return in the future.

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and making our first trip to Maine. This home was just what we were looking for, Close enough to various locations of Acadia National Park but tucked away from the crowds. The deck with the view of the water while observing the visiting deer was our favorite place to be after waking with our morning coffee or returning after hiking or visiting Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our time at Apple cottage and hope to return one day.
