We loved Rose's Cottage for a week's stay in late August. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed the dining area, the screened porch and the deck overlooking Southwest Harbor. The bedrooms were large with lovely views.

Loved our week with the family at Roses cottage! Plenty of room for all! The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very clean!

We had a large group of adults. Four couples. Plenty of space and bathrooms. Clean and great location. Wonderful kitchen to cook our meals in and excellent porch areas (both enclosed and outside). Comfortable all week. Would definitely stay again.

Our family absolutely loved Rose’s Cottage. The home is very beautiful and accommodated our family of 9 wonderfully. You could see the water from the deck and it was very peaceful. A really great home and decorated very nice. Loved working with Debby at MDI Real Estate and Rental Agency. Thank you for your quick responses to a couple of questions, while staying there. Also, for some great suggestions and where to go. We would definitely go back. Southwest Harbor, Maine is beautiful and quaint. Thank you!

Rose Cottage is a light, bright, comfortable home with everything for a large family. Everyone had a comfortable room to sleep in. The bathrooms are beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked. We sat out on the screened in porch at night and played games at the large table. In between outings we’d sit on the deck, which had plenty of comfortable seating, and take in the view of the harbor. The house was very clean and decorated so beautifully. We couldn’t have asked for more!

We really enjoyed our stay-grandparents, son and family and dauighter and family. Everything comfortable, convenient, with great views and as advertised. Really great house and grounds.

My husband and I were lucky enough to spend a week in Rose’s Cottage and our only regret about the home is that we didn’t book at least one (or a few!) more weeks. The home is extremely comfortable, beautifully decorated, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well-stocked (complete with every kitchen tool/gadget you could desire, umbrellas, and more!). In addition, Rose’s Cottage was impeccably clean and well-maintained—everything seemed brand new! In other words, 5 stars all around (and if there were more stars, I would give them!). We loved reading or having a glass of wine on the screened in porch, enjoying the view of Southwest Harbor from the deck, and even watching the Fourth of July fireworks from the community’s dock! The location of Rose’s Cottage was stellar. While not right on the water, the home had a lovely water view and was a short walk from Southwest Harbor. Rose’s Cottage is about 25-30 minutes from Bar Harbor, but once we arrived and oriented ourselves, we realized that we were VERY pleased to be on the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island and in Southwest Harbor, specifically, which offers a number of delicious restaurants (must try Hearth & Harbor, Beal’s, and Little Fern) and charming shops but without the crowds! We absolutely loved Acadia- and went for many of the hikes recommended by the owners in their thoughtful welcome guide/guidebook. Depending on the hike, you were 5-30+ minutes away by car. Further highlighting the thoughtful hosts, we even arrived to a lovely bag with delightful Maine treats inside! Last but not least, Debby was awesome as a property manager! Extremely responsive and kind. I would rent another property with her without hesitation!

Fantastic place; one of the best we have stayed at in many years
