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.

Excellent stay

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!

Wonderful Cottage

We spent 4 nights in this cottage which had everything we needed. The location is great for exploring and hiking on the quiet side of Acadia but easy enough to get everywhere we wanted to go. We were able to walk to and from the town (Southwest Harbor) in about 10 minutes. It is very well equipped and comfortable and we hope to return. It's nice to have the option of renting their other cottage as well for a bigger group and is also dog friendly.Keep your eyes open for wildlife!

Wonderful Stay in Southwest Harbor

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.

Acadia trip

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
