Cozy, clean, and centrally located

The house was great and was as expected from the description and photos. Newly renovated, the owner made all the right upgrades needed to make you feel at home. The sofa and TV area suited our family of four perfectly as we relaxed after a long day of hiking and exploring. The beds are comfortable and I appreciated how the space was so well lit. The owner is very friendly and was very responsive when we had questions. The house is on a quiet road off of a fairly quiet road. The Adirondack chairs on the porch facing the pond became our place to drink our morning coffee and read. Our 12 and 14 year old loved how spacious the loft area was and were happy to have their own space up there. Having 1-1/2 baths was perfect for us. The kitchen is well equipped.The house is centrally located on MDI making it easy to travel to Acadia, Bar Harbor, South West Harbor, and North East Harbor.

The pretty pond cottage was fantastic! Perfect for our family of four to have some space throughout the week. Close enough to Bar Harbor and others spots off the beaten path. Greg was super helpful and very quick to make local recommendations. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Pretty Pond Cottage

Loved the charming and very clean cottage. Enjoyed every morning on the front porch with a cup of coffee overlooking the beautiful nature and pond. Wish we could have spent more time there!

Perfect cabin on a small lake

Perfect location to see everything on the island. Short driving distance to the lakes, Acadia, hikes, restaurants and towns. Nestled in the woods and on a small lake, the cabin was peaceful and quiet to sit outside. Perfect size for our family. Check in was a breeze and the cabin had the amenities we needed. Would highly recommend!

Perfect autumn escape, off the beaten path!

This spot was perfect for my wife and two kids while we visited Bar Harbor. Except for some very minor road noise, the spot was very quiet. Lots of deer graze in this area, which testifies to the serene atmosphere. Greg stopped by when we were outside to make sure things were going well. He was very kind and receptive to our little bit of feedback. We took advantage of the nice fire pit and roasted marshmallows around the fire. Overall the property is well equipped for a small family getaway and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (less than 20 minutes to either). We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, Quiet Centrally Located Property

The place was exceptionally clean and new. The kitchen was great, and the beds were very comfortable. It's very simple and nice. I also liked the location as Mt. Desert is a big island, so being centrally located meant we could go any direction and be where we wanted to be within 15 minutes.
