Absolutely would not change a thing about our stay at Cottage 2. We took in all that Acadia had to offer. Hiking, Ocean Drives, Sunsets and Sunrises, along with the Lobster Rolls. Cottage 2 tucked nicely in the trees made for peaceful and relaxing evenings. The cottage was everything we had hoped for and more. If we get back to Southwest Harbor, the quiet side of Acadia we will definitely stay again. Thank You for making our stay a memorable adventure.
We stayed a week in this quiet vacation house.Made many beautiful hikes. House was very well equipped. Beds were very good. Location close to Southwest Harbor center with a nice ice shop and good coffee at walking distance.
The cabin exceeded all expectations. Grilling on the deck was a joy, and evenings by the fire pit were cozy and relaxing. The house itself was incredibly comfortable, with thoughtful touches and a perfect layout for our group. Its location, so close to Acadia’s attractions, made every adventure convenient. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base. If we return to Acadia, we’ll absolutely book this cabin again—it was the perfect retreat after days filled with exploration and adventure. Thank you for an amazing stay!
Excellent stay, a quiet and comfortable place to relax and explore Acadia. Vicki was a great hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. Highly recommend!
The cottage was perfect for our time in Maine. It was the perfect distance from Acadia and the crowds of Bar Harbor. It was clean, quiet, and had everything we needed to come back and relax after long days of hiking.
Amazing cottage in walking distance of southwest harbor. Clean cottage with easy check-in, well stocked kitchen, great views of the sunrise. Added bonus of allowing our dog to come with us on vacation. Would definitely recommend!
We loved Vicki’s cottage! It was super clean, the kitchen was very well equipped and the setting is amazing, so quiet and in the middle of the forest. It was really nice to be away from the crowd. I highly recommend it.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The location was so peaceful, yet close to everything we needed. We loved sitting on the loft and reading and my daughter loved the bunk beds. Everything was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the outdoor fire pit too! Couldn’t have asked for a better week.
The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time out exploring the island - and it was a comfortable place to come back to. They made sure we had dry firewood for s’mores.
My family and I really enjoyed the cottage as a place to relax after long days of hiking and exploring Acadia. The accommodations were perfect, and it’s also in walking distance to several restaurants and shops as well. We also really enjoyed being able to have our dog with us to experience the park! Thank you again for an amazing stay!
We absolutely loved our trip here. The cabin is more gorgeous in person than the pictures. The cabin is close to everything and a short walk to the town. The outdoor seating area with the fire was a welcome way to spend a cool evening. It was nice to have a kitchen and laundry room. The loft overlooking the water was perfect. We hope to come back and would absolutely stay here again!
This was our second stay at the cottage and it was everything we remembered from our first trip. It feels very secluded and peaceful but is walkable to town and the restaurants and shops of Southwest Harbor.
Beds are comfy and there is everything you would need in the house, including many games and books in the laundry area which was very nice
Awesome trip all around. Perfect, quiet, private, peaceful location. Nice walk to the essentials (during business hours) and just a short drive to anything else you need. We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor. House had all we (family of 4) needed for our trip to Acadia. Thank you!
We loved the cabin. It was new and clean, nicely laid out, and well equipped. We were near the main road but it was secluded. Nice fire pit. Great bedroom up in the loft. And a deer strolled by while we were looking out the window.
Such a wonderful cottage! Vicki is amazing host, very responsive! Full kitchen, everything is well stocked. Nice back yard where you can see sun rise while enjoying your morning coffee and also have a relaxing time by the fire in the evenings! Overall, great experience! Highly recommended!
The property was as described in the listing. It was very clean and well equipped. It was a little remote yet very accessible to everything we needed.
The only recommendation I would make it that the kitchen needs better lighting and there needs to be more large size glasses.
If I had to say anything bad about this listing it’s that the pictures do not do this place justice!! What a peaceful serene setting to spend our 15 year anniversary. The kitchen was amazing to cook in, the atmosphere was picturesque and exactly what we expected Maine to be. Being outside the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor was incredible! We didn’t want for anything during our stay (except maybe a dry day!). We hiked our butts off and were able to relax and enjoy the scenery when we were done. Thank you so much for having us!!
We had such a great stay at cottage #2! I wish I had booked it for more days. The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable with a rustic feel. The view of the distant harbor from the master bedroom was so beautiful at sunrise. I kept waking up early just to watch view. Breakfast at the picnic table was also very serene. One morning we watched a red fox hunt for breakfast. It’s a great place to relax and decompress from the stress of life with all of the modern conveniences you’re used to (WiFi, streaming services, kitchen supplies, laundry). Walking distance to the small town with great little boutiques, a post office, a bakery, cafes and ice cream. Acadia/Bar Harbor is about a 25-30 minute drive. Highly recommend!
This cottage was truly a hidden gem. Conveniently located and yet it felt totally private and relaxing. Clean, spacious, comfortable, and well supplied. The sunrise views are to die for!
We had camped for two weeks prior to our stay so we were hoping for a relaxing close to our trip to Acadia and this cottage delivered. It had everything we needed with regards to cookware, space (2 adults and 2 kids), great wifi for the mornings I had to connect with work, the cutest laundry building, and a perfect outdoor set up for meals and campfire (even though we only used it once).
My only note for other families with toddlers (my 15-month-old had just started walking), is to consider bringing or renting a baby gate or just block the stairs with a suitcase. The stairs are steep and you also don't want a toddler in the king bedroom in the loft due to the gaps in the railing (we have a similar set up in our own home so we were prepared).
We hope to return in the future!
