Please read through the listing, most questions will be answered here. *DO NOT press the BOOK button until we tell you we are ready. To cover added efforts we will assess an automatic additional $300 fee - with no exceptions- to all bookings where prior conversation was not had before initiating the booking request, as it can take a few days to confirm availability with the homeowner and VRBO/Homeaway will assess us penalties for not accepting within a 24 hour window. Please review further notes and disclosure below. Please let us know if you have any questions, as payment constitutes acceptance of these terms and is binding. Please note a separate lease packet must be completed within an Agency determined time frame to complete the reservation and failure to complete the lease packet will cause automatic forfeiture of funds paid. Please note there may be added terms of acceptance that will be presented to you prior to booking. Saturday to Saturday, 7 night stays only, thank you!

2025 Weekly Rates WITHOUT required added Agency and VRBO Fees and the amounts reflected on Lease Agreement that you sign for parties of 8 or less: April 26 - June 14 $3500; June 14- June 28 $4300; June 28 - July 12 $5600; July 12 - August 16 $6200; August 16 - August 23 $5700; August 23 - September 6 $4400; September 6 - October 11 $4200; October 11 - January 15 $4000. Limited to 3 vehicles accommodated, please inquire if you'll need additional parking space.

Please note: The Security Deposit is $1250 and VRBO/Homeaway does not collect but instead places a collateral credit hold for this amount, to be released in the event no claims are made, therefore VRBO issues no security refund. Please contact them directly prior to booking if you need further clarity.

Please note: The Quote provided by VRBO/Homeaway is accurate and has already been adjusted to add taxable administrative fees above the owner's rental rate. The Lease Agreement will not reflect the added administrative fees or the VRBO/Homeaway service fees as they are not part of the Lease Agreement between you and the property owner. The administrative Fees are the added amount the Agency charges to book this property through VRBO/Homeaway. Again, when booking through the VRBO/Homeaway platform, VRBO/Homeaway will generate the cost of your stay when you enter dates and number of occupants. The amount you pay to VRBO/Homeaway includes added VRBO/Homeaway and agency administrative fees which will NOT be reflected on your lease papers. All bookings require a separate Lease Agreement and Lease Packet to be completed and signed by both parties within an Agency determined time frame after booking through VRBO/Homeaway to bind the reservation. There will be added transaction fees to book outside the Agency and through VRBO/Homeaway to cover their requirements, commission fees and payment processing fees. This will reflect a rate higher than listed elsewhere and these taxable amounts will not be considered part of the Lease Agreement between you and the Lessor, but are instead separate taxable administrative and service fees paid to the agency and Vrbo/Homeaway and will not be reflected in the lease agreement. The rental rate that is noted in the body of the property description is the actual amount that will be reflected in the lease agreement; this amount is without added fees. Please let us know if you need further clarification. Please do NOT initiate a request to book until we let you know we are ready, as it will either be declined, allowed to expire, or edited as a pre approved quote to reflect an impossibly high rate so that you will have to decline the quote. VRBO/Homeaway will penalize hosts who decline a booking request when the calendar shows the dates as open and also penalizes hosts who allow booking requests to expire, therefore we may simply exercise the option to edit the quote to reflect an impossibly high rate so that you will have to decline the quote. Again, we will need the necessary time to discuss your reservation with the homeowner. Thank you so much in advance for your patience and understanding.

Please Note: Rates are only quoted for the 2025 Season.

Rose's Cottage

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.

Absolutely Gorgeous

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!

More than I Imagined

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!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Rose’s Cottage!

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!

Rose’s Cottage

What a beautiful property and location! We had two families stay at the cottage for a week and everybody thought that it was a great find. It is walking distance into Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor is a short drive. The check in process was very easy. Debby from MDI Real Estate was very helpful and had great suggestions for activities. I would absolutely recommend this property for anybody looking for a house near Acadia National Park.
