Peaceful retreat

The cabin is on the " quiet side" of the island which we loved. It was clean and well maintained. We loved sitting on the deck and just staring at the trees. We were here a bit before peak season (again a plus for us to get away) so some of the businesses were just opening back up for the season. There is a steep driveway with a few bumps that our SUV handled fine , but we were grateful we didn't have our low clearance vehicle. Thanks Vickie! If we ever are back in the area, we would definitely book this again!

Clean, cozy, quiet, close to town

Great place to stay in Southwest Harbor and close to Acadia National Park. Wooded enough to be quiet and secluded enough from other cabins and to hear birds and see the occasional deer. I'd definitely stay there again; highly recommended.

Maine Vacation

This cabin was perfect for our family of three. Everything was immaculate. It’s a nice short walk to downtown Southwest Harbor with many shops and restaurants. The cabin had everything we needed. Our family loved this location and truly enjoyed Acadia.

Most Wonderful Lodging!!!

This property was exceptionally clean and well stocked. Very good location and we loved Southwest Harbor. Our Host, Vicki Beal was world class. She answered all of my e-mails very quickly and really made us feel right at home. We enjoyed seeing the deer each day as they grazed outside our windows. Would definitely stay at this property again if we visit this area. Thank you Vicki!!!

Great location in Southwest Harbor on the "quiet side" of MDI.

Plenty of trails and things to do on west side of the island while still close enough to all the east side attractions to not be a hassle. House was cozy, clean and quiet. The washer and dryer were big plus Only issue was the lack of blinds on the upper windows meant the kids wouldn't sleep in much after the early June sunrises.

Perfect Acadia getaway!

My family of four and our dog enjoyed the seclusion of this property as well as the ability to walk into the quaint, but well appointed town of Southwest Harbor for dining and shopping. Vicki’s cottage had everything we needed and was a great headquarters for our excursions around Mount Dessert island! Everything we wanted to access were within short, scenic drives. The cottage was clean, comfortable and Vicki was very responsive. We highly recommend this home away from home to anyone and everyone looking for the perfect Acadia getaway!

Great Basecamp for Outdoor Adventures

Lovely cabin feels like it's in a wooded setting which it is but is only about 2 mi from the main street of the southwest harbor so you can easily walk to the shops and restaurants also a very easy commute by car bike or the bus to get to all areas of Acadia we hiked biked golf and ate a lot of lobster and enjoyed our lovely cabin that was extremely clean had everything you could think of from condiments to coffee to comfy beds. It was a seamless check-in process. We would definitely stay here again on next visit to Acadia.

Cozy Cottage

Lovely cottage. Beautiful wood walls and floors, very clean, organized and well equipped. Minor inconvenience of only bathroom being on different floor than bedroom if you are older ( like I am ) and need to use in middle of night. Bathroom could have used more shelves and some counter top space. Had to hold Waterpick while using it because there was no where to put it down without it sliding off of the cute pedestal sink. Also could have had more places to hang towels. Had to put in dryer each day to make sure they were dry for next day use. Other than those minor inconveniences we had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay very much.

A Bar Harbor / Quiet side Retreat

Such a beautiful location — peaceful and nestled into woods yet plenty of sunshine. This property is excellent! The owners have gone out of their way to make the place a home away from home. We arrived late — they had the lights on. The deck has a grill and a lovely view of pine trees and the sounds of the babbling brook. There are Adirondack chairs around a fire pit — wood provided. The kitchen is fully equipped. The washer and dryer came in handy — detergent right there. And only a 5 minute walk from town and the harbor where we went on a half day sailing adventure. A 30 minute or less drive to Bar Harbor and Arcadia but not of the frenzy. Highly recommend it.
