Clean well outfitted place and convenient location for our needs. Street a bit busy and noisy for those wanting a quiet out of the way locale. Gas fire pit was rusted and tank connection should be checked for leak as noted gas odor when tank valve was opened so did not use.

Where do I start when talking about the golden cove cottage? This place has everything you need! From games to utensils to cleaning materials! Even treats for your pet! It is impeccably clean! The beds are beyond comfy! The couches that recline in the family room add to the comfort! The living space is huge! Our family time was spent there making meals together, playing guitars by the fire pit, game nights and movie nights! It provided the entertainment as well! Our beagle mix was super comfy there as well! Okay now as for the location…you can’t beat it! In quiet Southwest Harbor you can’t go wrong! A skip away from shops and restaurants! Oh…forgot to mention the treats when we arrived! Blueberry jam and blueberry soda! Such a sweet surprise! Other perks: food store is close by, natural water spring across the street that we used daily, hiking and lakes nearby, not a far trip to Bar Harbor, and it is super quiet! If we needed help with anything, we got answers right away from the agent/owner! We will definitely be back!

This home was perfect for our family of 6 adults. We found it to be just as advertised. There was plenty of space, cozy beds, a well equipped kitchen, and supplied with all the essentials. The drive from Southwest Harbor to the main areas of the park is easy, but does take 20-30 mins. There are some nice hikes nearby and good restaurants in Southwest Harbor too. Overall we loved our stay here and would recommend this home to others.

We were a group of (4), ages 73, 60, 43 and 12. Golden Cove Cottage was perfect for us! The location is convenient and close to groceries, drug store, restaurants and cafes. Just a short drive to the Bar Harbor and the main parts of Acadia National Park. The property is immaculate, well stocked with everything you need, and extremely comfortable. Other reviewers commented on the home being located on a very busy road - we did not find that to be an issue. Check in was smooth (slight mix up on the lock code, but it was corrected in minutes). There was no issues that required management assistance. We highly recommend this property and hope to return.

We had a wonderful time on our first visit to Acadia National Park and found the quiet cottage to be perfect for our family of 5 adults and one little dog. It was immaculate, spacious, very comfortable with careful attention to what a visitor might need. We were especially pleased to find it well-stocked with linens, towels and even bathroom and kitchen supplies. The blueberry jam and blueberry soda greeting us were a sweet touch. Highly recommend.
