October Getaway

Summerwood Cottage was the perfect little home for our Autumn Getaway! It is comfy, clean & decorated just adorable. You have everything you need already there, just stop, buy a few groceries & you will be set for a carefrrr vacation. Amanda is the perfect host. She is so kind & has the best personality! I guarantee if you stay here you will love her like we do! Otter Creek had a huge wind storm while we were out hiking in the park. We came home to bottledwater & Amanda checking in on us less than an hour later to make sure we were doing ok. When the power came back on, she returned and did everything she could to get the internet & tv back on. Trust me, you will not go wrong if you stay here. You can sit on the porch swing or deck and see turkeys in the yard morning & evening. Its a beautiful area. We will be back. Amanda is definitely one reason why. and Amanda trying extremely hard to

Wonderful getaway for a special birthday

We loved this place. The location was very convenient for hiking. We walked out from the cottage and walked all the way to Thunder Hole and then up Gorhman Mountain. The place had everything we needed. We enjoyed the swing on the front porch and the fire pit. Used the grill our first night and it was perfect. Enjoyed watching the turkeys next door in the mornings. Amanda was very responsive and the flowers in the cottage were a nice touch. I rarely give a 5 star rating so don’t take my 4 star the wrong way. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect couple getaway

This was the perfect little Maine cottage. It has vintage charm with updates where it counts. Its located just off the main road with a little convenience store at the end of the street. The perfect distance to hiking and views at the south end of the island and only a few minutes to the center of Bar Harbor. 10/10. We loved our stay here.

Awesome stay!

My husband & I loved staying at Summerwood Cottage! The cottage is in a great location and quiet neighborhood. The cottage is cute, cozy and well equipped! We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The covered front porch (and porch swing!) is a fantastic place to enjoy a morning coffee or relax after a day in the park. We hope to return!

Anniversary Celebration

The property was close to Acadia-within walking distance to parts of it. The cottage was cozy and well equipped, spotlessly clean and on a very quiet street. The hostess immediately responded to our questions. It was a perfect spot for a couple. I’d stay there again!

Lovely week at Acadia and Summerwood Cottage

We had a great week at Summerwood. Perfect size for two people. The covered porch is perfect for relaxing out of the sun or rain. Wild turkeys roam the backyard. Excellent bird watching. Plenty of hot water and water pressure. Loved the skylights inside. Great light. Hiking trail to Ocean Path is awesome. Easy drive to Park Loop Rd and Carriage Road parking areas. Overall, a charming cottage that was very comfortable and well situated for exploring the park! Thanks so much for your hospitality and a lovely place to call home base for the week!!

Perfect romantic getaway

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Summerwood Cottage. The cottage is cozy, charming, and well-appointed — with everything you need to relax and make yourself at home. It’s also conveniently located; major Acadia attractions and hiking trails are just a short drive away. After a day of exploring the park, it was nice coming back to the cottage to chill. (I especially liked the swinging bench on the porch.) Overall, Summerwood Cottage provided the perfect setting for our romantic getaway.

Acadia vacation

Over all stay was very nice. The cabin was clean and quiet. It location was perfect for us. The only negative was the bed was very high and hard for me to get into. The stool provided was a help. Overall experience was great and we would definitely do it again. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Acadia first visit

The cottage didn’t match the description. It was in a residential neighborhood, but it was quiet and close to many attractions and trails. Upon entrance there was a strong musty mold odor. Towards the bedroom there is a step down that is tricky. It was marked with a red tape, but that didn’t prevent a dangerous fall. There were cobwebs and kitchen was not very clean. We had to wash the utensils and cookware before we used them. The microwave was located ridiculously high above the refrigerator and risky to use. The bed is also very high and a hard mattress. Because of the skylight in the bedroom, wear an eye mask if you don’t want wake up at 4:30! Despite these drawbacks we enjoyed the bird sanctuary provided by the neighbor next us. Lots of songbirds, critters and in back some wild turkeys! The location was close to the loop road and trail’s galore. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor. That’s why overall we enjoyed our first visit to Acadia! Our host was attentive when we first arrived and assisted with the navigation of Spectrum network. I told her about my fall and she agreed maybe a longer piece of red or yellow tape might help. She gave us some tips using the map on the wall to get around. There was also a bees nest in the grill I told her about and she took care of that. On our last day the sun finally came out. I texted the host and requested to check out at 11 instead of 10. She said no, she’d have to pay housekeeping another hour! So we said good bye.

AMAZING Place!

As soon as my spouse and I walked in, it was almost like a magickal getaway! The lighting, the smell, the atmosphere overall was so relaxing and warm and inviting! Amanda had so much prepared and setup for easing into our vacation, getting comfortable, having the little things ready for the morning. The yard is on a forest active with birds and squirrels and other critters - even saw a wild turkey! AMAZING PLACE! Wonderful! Thank you!!!

Perfection

First time visiting Maine and Acadia, and Summerwood Cottage was simply perfect for our needs. The location is wonderful and everything in the cottage has been thoughtfully considered. It was great to prepare our own meals from time to time, and we found everything we needed was on hand. It was amazing to be able to be in the peace and beauty of Acadia, yet just a short drive from restaurants, etc. in Bar Harbor. We highly recommend this cottage and would love to return one day!
