Dragonfly Cottage was perfect. Exactly as described, well appointed, and a real home away from home. The back deck was perfect for family dinner and conversation. Each of the rooms were comfortable. Having full bathrooms as well as washing machines on each level made our stay even better. Thanks for a great vacation. We would definitely return. Highly recommend.

Great Location and House!

The house was nice and spacious! The kitchen was clean and had a nice little coffee station. We were able to walk to the light house and the two nearby trails, which were beautiful. There were several places to eat close by, which was very nice! It was nice to be away from the crowds, but still convenient to get to many places on the island.

Amazing stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Dragonfly Cottage. The home had absolutely everything we could ask for. It had all the amenities two families with 5 kids between them could need and was super kid friendly. It was a great jumping off point to explore Acadia and a quiet and restful spot at night. We even learned on our hottest day that the neighboring camp ground pool has day passes for 3 per person. We absolutely loved our stay!

Excellent family vacation home

Nice home with good amenities to accommodate a large family. The pantry was stocked with enough supplies to get you started as the grocery stores are not nearby. The home is away from everything, it’s quiet and relaxing to stay. It’s walkable to Bass harbor lighthouse and the Seawall trail. Plenty of parking and yard for pets and cars to roam.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has dragonfly-themed decor, even on the plates and cabinets handles. It was well-equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen. 15 min walk to the lighthouse.

Awesome Property

This was our first trip to Maine, so when I booked the property it sounded like the location would be a good location and the house would be the size we needed. We were not disappointed with anything! The location was awesome, very quiet, close to some awesome trails and the water! The house was wonderful everything we needed and more! My grandsons loved the play set and toys! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Nice house near Bass Harbor Lighthouse

The house worked well for our group of six ladies. The large kitchen and deck, complete with wooded back yard, were especially nice. The location was convenient, close to hiking trails, restaurants, and groceries. One suggestion I would make would be to remove some of the personal items/knick-knacks in the bedrooms so that guests have more space for their items.

Thoughtfully Appointed Home!

Perfect place for us, the kids and grandkids! The split level gives everyone their own private space but the kitchen and livingroom are large enough for everyone to gather together. The large yard and "pirate ship" playground were great entertainment for the kids when we weren't exploring the island. Location is great, a short walk to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Absolutley one of our favorite locations and our host was very responsive to the few questions we had. Highly recommend the Dragonfly!

Perfect spot on the quiet side of MDI

We loved our stay at this house. We love Bar Harbor but hate the crowds, so it was so great to be on the quiet side of the island. Bass Harbor is beautiful without the hassle. This very large house is in a great location for some of Acadia’s less famous (but still amazing) spots. The house had everything we needed for a stress free vacation. We loved the well equipped kitchen, big dining room table, coffee station, huge deck and those great mattresses! It really felt like a home away from home!

A Fabulous House & Location

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Dragonfly Cottage! The house is lovely and was just perfect for our family. We absolutely loved the location because it was convenient to Acadia and all the activities we planned. It was away from the busy places and was quiet. The children loved the pirate play ship, the riding toys, and the toys inside. The kitchen was very well equipped and clean. As was the entire house. If you are looking for a great place to stay this one is for you.

Beautiful large clean home.

What a lovely experience we had for the two weeks we visited. This home was located near bass harbor light house and just down the street from several lovely walks to the ocean. Plenty of rooms to accommodate the friends and family visiting together. Clean and charming decor. The large back deck overlooking a large back yard and woods was great for having relaxing cookouts. Located on the quiet side of the island. Convenient drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Owner was easy to reach with any questions we had. I would definitely rent this house again!!

The Dragonfly cottage is a much-loved, very clean house with plenty of space and walking distance to the Bass Harbor lighthouse, Ship Harbor and Wonderland (1 mile). Very short drive to several excellent lobster stands on the harbor. Although the outside temp reached 90 during several days of our stay we were still able to sleep comfortably each night in the upstairs bedrooms and the downstairs bedrooms never felt damp even though they remained cool. The front yard had plenty of room for wiffle ball, and the house was equipped for anything you might need during your stay, perhaps more equipped than most other houses we have stayed in previously. Very quiet, no sounds from the campground or street traffic, even with windows open. We felt so welcome in this home that we almost felt like we were staying at a B&B and would definitely rent again.

Fabulous Family Get-Together

This house was big enough to easily accommodate 6 adults, 1 teenager, and 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Plenty of room to park and maneuver your vehicle. A huge family table perfect for eating and game playing. The kitchen is well equipped. The yard was large, with a lovely stand of pines bordering the backyard. One night we all laid down on the large deck and gazed at the stars! Oh, it was lovely. You can get fresh eggs every day in town, go up Wesley Street, located next to Southwest Cycle, and you’ll see eggs for sale on your left towards the top of the hill.We all had a wonderful stay at Dragonfly Cottage….and yes, the house is full of beautiful dragonflies.

Spacious, Beautiful Home in Quiet Location

Dragonfly Cottage had everything our extended family of nine needed. My granddaughters had limited toys they brought on vacation due to air travel, but the pirate ship playground, riding toys, swing and many indoor toys kept them happy and busy for our entire stay.Our family cooked many of our meals and had no problem finding the cookware needed. Many of the necessary spices were on hand also.The home was immaculate and had large spaces to gather including the kitchen, living room and basement. A sliding door can be shut between the basement and the main floor of the house to allow for more privacy. A washer and dryer were available on both levels of the house as well as a smaller kitchen in the basement.The house is located on a quieter part of the island. The Bass Harbor Lighthouse is within walking distance and Ship Harbor Nature Trail, a fun, easy hike is nearby too.I would highly recommend this home to anyone planning a stay in the Bar Harbor/Acadia NP area.

We had a great stay and the house had everything we needed for our visit to Mount Desert Island. We had my 91 yr old mother with us who is very mobile but could definitely have used some kind of grab bar in at least 1 of the showers. While not terribly noisy, you do hear noise from the campground directly across the street but because the campground is there, the island explorer bus stop is literally right there for ease in getting around the island without using your car. The Bass Harbor Lighthouse is a half mile away. We walked to it every day but beware the road is narrow and can get very busy and the only place to walk is on the road. The house was close to several trails that we took advantage of. The house doesn’t have very close access to the water but we were able to drive to close by Seawall and set up chairs on the rocks. The house was chock full of a great selection of local information including books and maps for us to use as well. During our downtime at the house we enjoyed the back deck, Adirondack chairs and fire pit. If we had had our grandchildren with us, they would have loved playing on the great outdoor Ark jungle gym and toys provided.
