Acadia National Park covers half the island and is home to many famous attractions. Cadillac is the tallest mountain on the eastern seaboard and a great place to see the sunrise. Thunder Hole is very impressive to visit at high tide, while Sand Beach is a beautiful destination to relax or hike Great Head. Stop by Jordan Pond House for tea and Popovers while overlooking the parks deepest lake at 150 feet, a tradition since 1893. There are too many destinations in Acadia to list, you will have to explore them all for yourself.

This house sits on a fantastic location. It is far enough away from the tourist “hub-bub”, but close enough to touch everything Acadia Ntl Park and Mt Desert Island have to offer. There are peaceful sunsets, a view of the lobster boats and tide activity, and access to great food. The house is a very comfortable place to land for a week! The Host provided great info for the stay as well as things to do. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Clean and spacious property with everything we needed to have a great week for our family of 5. Reasonable driving distance to everything. Enjoyed being able to go out at low tide and explore. Hosts were welcoming and communicative. They made sure the cottage had everything you needed. Would definitely recommend

Great location if wanting to take advantage of the quiet side of the Island. Property was exactly as described and very well appointed… it had all the pots/pans/utensils needed. Sunsets were simply amazing. The harbor view was spectacular. great to have the outdoor space to simply enjoy 'being there'. Great communication with owner. A+ all around!

We could not have enjoyed our stay anymore than we did! The house was just as described, the views were beautiful! The home had everything we needed for our stay plus some. The owner was very responsive, and the location was perfect for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor, and then returning to the peaceful side of the island.

Have spent many fall seasons at Acadia, but this accommodation was one of the best. The view was unparalleled, and when you’re stuck for a week due to Covid, the view is even more important! Our hosts were very responsive anytime we had a question. We had a power outage while on the island, and before we woke up, we had the necessary items to get us through that power outage. The cottage is outfitted very well, the kitchen has anything and everything you can need. Plenty of bathrooms, beautiful deck, and the surroundings were lovely. We will stay there again on our next visit! Thank you, Elean and family.

The property was as advertised. It is in a wonderful location, close to Acadia and Bar Harbor but far enough that it's fairly quiet. The house itself was in immaculate condition. It was nice to sit outside and look at fishing boats or the deer that wandered into the yard each night and morning.
