Ruth and I just got home from a wonderful week with Anny and Wendell on the "Quiet Side" of Mt Desert Island. Anny's Place is just a couple of miles from either Bass Harbor, or Southwest Harbor. Their home is immaculate and comfortable. They made us right at home, with occasional wine or muffins. There was even a Jacuzzi tub and a heating pad when I threw my back out! Apart from opening their home to us, Anny and Wendell were great sources of local color and knowledge. We had no problem at all with the neighbors, pets, or noise of any kind. We will definitely choose Anny's Place when returning to MDI.

The house is very nice. There are good restaurants 5min away by car, and it is located on the quiet side of the island. Anny promptly showed me the best places to visit around, and all went good.

Loved Anny's hospitality. She also gave the best tips for seeing Mount Desert Island that we would never have found on our own. She offered us some breakfast pastries and juice on her own accord. Very friendly and cool pets.

Very welcome

Ann was a lovely hostess who even allowed us the opportunity right away to enjoy a steam shower in her BEAUTIFUL bathroom. She went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable. The room was nice, clean, and private. We had a nice stay!

Room was exactly as shown on the photo. Anny gave us a very warm welcome, helped us find a nice restaurant for dinner, prepared coffee in the morning and pointed us to great spots in Acadia to explore.

Anny Was amazing. Very warm home and provided helpful information. Made accommodations for us to be comfortable. Sweet pets.

Anny was a great hostess and very thorough in showing us her island. It was a very pleasant stay despite the less than ideal weather. We did not get to see as much as we'd like due to the rain but we are definitely planning out next trip back and hopefully "our" room is still available then.

Mount Desert Island was undoubtedly the highlight of our road trip holiday in New England. The sunrise and sunset from Cadillac Mountain is truly magical. We appreciated being on the quiet side too in Southwest Harbour. The suite we stayed in was very well equipped and clean. Communication with Marty was straightforward and relaxed, a very trusting host. Thank you.

Marty was incredibly accommodating and very responsive! The accommodations were nicer than I expected!

Marty and her team were wonderful hosts! We stayed in the Cadillac Suite and it was exactly what we needed. Essentially a small one bed room apartment with kitchen, dining, and small living room. Bed was very comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent! Very obvious it is a local favorite. Thanks!

A great find for our honeymoon. Very cute and comfortable, and within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. Marty was very a great host, would highly recommend.

Comfy cozy, clean and quiet inn. Great location in the town, walk to great restaurants and coffee shops as well as sawyers market & wine shop and a small pharmacy. So nice and quiet during the winter... easy drive to Acadia national park, bar harbor, winter harbor etc.

The listing was very accurately depicted, and was extremely comfortable. We were very pleased with our stay at the Dry Dock Inn. Marty left information for us upon our arrival, and the check out process was very smooth as well.

We loved our stay here! The Cadillac suite had everything we needed and more for our 4 night stay in Southwest Harbor. The kitchen was our favorite amenity because we were able to make breakfast and pack a lunch for our Acadia adventures each day (and saved a little money doing so!) There are a few great shops and restaurants in town, without all the noise and traffic of bar harbor. It took us about 25 to drive into bar harbor and park loop road, and there were so many great hiking trails to explore in this side of the park! As a side note: remember this is an inn above a popular restaurant in town, so there is a bit of noise downstairs until the restaurant closes for the night. All in all a great value and we would 100% stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Clean and easy to fjnd, lacking on uniqueness or character though.

We loved this space and location, and Deborah was a great hostess. We'll definitely be back!

The host canceled this reservation 90 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Deborah's carriage house is beautiful and the perfect size for two people looking to spend some time in Acadia. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking tools, and we had everything we needed to do all of our cooking. Deborah was prompt with responses, and kindly left plenty of guides and pamphlets on the area for guests' use. I would definitely recommend staying here!

It was absolutely spotless! Location was great for hiking around Ship Harbor and Wonderwall. Really pretty part of the island and Bar Harbor was only about 30 mins away. We did a lot of cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked.

I sent my parents here on an anniversary weekend trip. They absolutely loved it! They said the apartment was beautiful, spacious and comfortable and had everything they needed. They (and I) highly recommend Jeff and Bett's place :)

Jeff was a nice, very communicative host. The place was very cozy and clean.

The Up-See-Daisy Suite is perfect for travelers wanting to be close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Four of us slept comfortably between the bedroom and futon, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook all of our meals at home. We woke up early one morning to catch the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain and found beautiful hiking trails all throughout the park. We even walked down the street to a cove and saw otters in their wild habitat! I would definitely recommend Jeff and Bett's place, and I plan to return myself someday.

This place was fantastic! What a treat being in the backyard of Acadia. Big and clean apartment with an extremely comfortable bed. Hosts were very prompt to reply and gave clear instructions. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay again if visiting Acadia.

Best choice!! Well located, extremely clean, well decorated, and very comfortable. Highly recommended!!

Jeff and Bett were wonderful hosts! Bett was absolutely charming and extremely gracious. The apartment was exactly as depicted. It was clean, comfortable, and felt like home! We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen (although we did not use it because we were there for a short period of time) and the toiletries and other thoughtful touches. The map and pamphlets were also a nice touch and provided a good orientation to the area. The futon was very comfortable for a futon and I appreciated that it even had a mattress pad on it! I look forward to staying there again one day, on a longer trip, where I can utilize all of the insider information Bett provided. Thank you so much!

Jeff and Bett were great hosts. On our check-in date Jeff welcomed us and offered to help bring our luggage upstairs and answered any inquiries we had. We felt very welcomed and the house has everything you need for your stay. We would definitly recommend staying at Jeff and Bett's home.

Nous avons passé deux nuits chez Carol lors de notre séjour sur Mount Desert Island. Avant notre arrivée, nous avons eu plusieurs échanges très sympathiques avec elle. À notre arrivée, Carol nous a chaleureusement accueillis dans sa maison et nous a présenté différentes brochures afin de profiter au mieux de l'Acadia National Park. La maison se situe dans un cadre très agréable et verdoyant. Sa localisation permet d'accéder facilement aux différentes parties du parc, notamment le 27-miles loop. La chambre et la salle de bain privative sont très agréables et bien aménagées. Grâce à un rideau entre le couloir et le salon, nous nous sommes vraiment sentis dans un cadre préservant notre intimité. Les lieux sont très propres. Les deux matins, nous avons profité d'un très bon petit déjeuner proposé par Carol (excellente confiture faite maison !) Carol est une personne très sympathique qui connaît très bien l'île et qui nous a fourni de nombreux conseils notamment pour les restaurants où manger du homard. Nous recommandons vivement cette hôte.

Really enjoy our visit to Mount Desert Island and Acadia park: so much things to do!! Carol was a perfect host. She gave us many tips on what to do (it was raining on one morning and we did'nt prepare for that) Everything was very clean. Breakfast was excellent. Perfect to start a day of hiking! Carol even made muffins for us with her own rhubarb! Thanks Carol!

We enjoyed staying in Carol's place. She provided lovely breakfast, was very helpful in giving us information and tips about Acadia. She took us even to a few of her favorite places, very special. We had a great time. Thank you Carol. Heleen & Anne

Carol is definitely the most energetic and nice and thoughtful lady I ever met. I expected one room while Carol provided a separate bedroom,a separate living room,and a separate bathroom which are all clean and spacious. And she also provided us delicious breakfast at her lovely kitchen. She also respects our privacy. We can't drive so Carol not only pick up us at the airport and also drive us back to Bangor bus terminal which really helps us a lot. She is also a very good tour guide and knows everything about the island. She drives us to the most famous spot on the island even the top of Cadillac mountain where shows us the most beautiful full view of the island. She also take time to teach us Golf and take us to see the lovely park and taste delicious lobster. We really had a nice stay with Carol and I will definitely recommend her as your first choice.

We had a great stay with Carol, who is a very good host. The attention to detail was immaculate, and we really appreciated all the little things she'd done to ensure we were comfortable. We had our own little private space (bathroom, bedroom and living room), with everything very clean. The bed was one of the best we have ever slept in! Carol made us amazing breakfasts worthy of any traditional BnB, complete with homemade muffins! The location is also a great base from which to visit Acadia, away from the tourist traps of Bar Harbor, but with all the island highlights easily accessible. Southwest Habour is a charming little town with some really good restaurants - Carol can advise!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Carol Nelson's home. She contacted us in advance of our trip to welcome us and provide directions, including how to avoid some road construction near her home. When we arrived, she showed us to our accommodations, hosted us with wine and hors d'oeuvres, helped orient us to Mount Desert Island, and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do. Our bedroom was large and comfortable, and the bathroom was right across the hall. Carol also provided us with Wi-Fi access for our laptop, which was very helpful. We had a delicious breakfast of bagels, muffins, and fruit the next morning, and Carol even gave us some fruit to take on our trip. We stayed with Carol only the one night, but we enjoyed our stay and would recommend her home to others.

We loved our stay with Carol. The bed was great and the room was quite roomy. Carol was a big help with finding the hidden local places to explore as she shared her favorite spots with us. Great value. The only disappointment we experienced at all was that the sunroom and the deck were unavailable for use. However we often had the living room all to ourselves at the end of a full day of exploring and that was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

There is nothing negative to report about our stay. Carol was most welcoming and charming, and an interesting conversationalist too. The space was roomy, and was sparkling clean and comfortable. It was like staying in a long time friend's home with all the welcoming elements. The bed was fabulous, and the bathroom and shower excellent. The house is in a wonderful SW Harbor location, and we highly recommend Carol and her lovely home for your stay in the area. We shall return.

Great hosts

The best part of our honeymoon was staying here at the Quietside Treetop Retreat. Upon arrival, Nola and Wayne greeted us with a welcoming smile and friendly tone of voice. Right away, I knew this was going to be a great stay. They took us up to where we were staying, showed us around the place, guided us through maps, points of interests, restaurant recommendations, and answered all the questions we had to make our time in Acadia National Park the best. To put the icing on the cake, they made our honeymoon even more special by leaving us a couple gifts to help celebrate which was super thoughtful and kind of them. Along with the gifts, they were hospitable in making us feel like we were staying at a five star bed and breakfast, having freshly folded towels, a toiletry basket in case we forgot something, and an extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and warming environment for us to stay in. Throughout our stay, Wayne and Nola were available to us to answer any questions to make our trip the best it can be. If you are traveling to Acadia NP, I most definitely recommend staying here. You will not regret it. Thank you to Nola and Wayne for such a special time. From one hospitality professional to another, you over wowed me in your hospitality.

Nola and Wayne greeted us as soon as we arrived. They did an incredible job creating a space of convenience and comfort for guests. They had toiletries in case we forgot any, saving us a trip into "town". We intentionally came in the off season to escape the day to day buzz of NYC. It was perfect having our coffee on the porch and being about 20-30 minutes from Bar Harbor, the Loop/major hiking trails was great. This truly is the quietside of MDI. They had a list of local businesses we can check out based on what we were looking for and we were glad they listed Joey's on there. Perfect local spot with a little NYC/NJ flare to grab a drink at. About a 5 minute drive. Nola and Wayne answered any questions we had and brought us over some lobster crackers from their home after picking up a fresh boiled lobster from Peekytoe Provisions. Coming out of season, a lot of businesses were closed - keep that in mind for any trips from November-Memorial Day Weekend time frame. We hope to return in the fall or springtime to get in some more hiking and tranquility. Side note: if you have Verizon, cell service is extremely limited.

The apartment is extremely clean and beautifully built. The homemade muffins were a great touch too! Thanks!

This was a get away for my wife and I for a few days and we planned on exploring MDI by car, foot, etc. The location was central to MDI, close to Southwest Harbor, and very quiet so it worked great for us. Wayne and Nola were great hosts and we really enjoyed them. It started with great communication from the time of booking, a great greeting and explanation when we arrived, willingness to help as needed (or leave us alone), and then there to see us off on the last day. I went back and read the description in the Airbnb listing after staying there and it is extremely accurate. Thank you Wayne and Nola.

We had a lovely stay at the Quietside Treetop Retreat. Wayne and Nola really made every effort possible to make our stay agreeable and make us feel welcome. I would like to mention for instance the fresh muffins cooked for us, the travel-size toiletries available in the bathroom if needed, the exhaustive maps and brochures given to us about the area, some nicely made memos about house rules or just the way every switch in the house is labelled so that it is easier to use. Communication with Wayne and Nola was always very fast and efficient. Last and not least I want to mention that the place is VERY EXTREMELY CLEAN. Overall a very excellent and quiet (as described) stay. There are plenty of lovely trails, restaurants, shops, bakeries, just a few minutes from the house.

Quietside Treetop Retreat is the perfect name for this place! Wayne and Nola were great from the beginning - I was road tripping and not sure where I would be when so I booked the morning of and they were quick to respond and let me know they could accommodate me. From there I had consistent communication throughout the day to ensure they were there when I showed up. Although it was late, they both greeted me with a smile and showed me around the place. This place was perfect and absolutely what I needed. It felt like home and the bath was exactly what I needed after my kayak adventure earlier on in the day. The place was incredibly clean and the bed was so comfortable - I slept like a baby! The next morning I got to eat the fresh blueberry muffins Nola left for me(they are amazing - and kept me fed the remainder of the day on my travels down south). Wayne was available to help me map out some stops in Acadia before I left town and made sure I knew exactly where to hit and what I couldn't miss. Although it was a short stay for me, I couldn't have had a better experience. The thing that stood out the most to me was the hospitality of these hosts and the thoughtful approach they have in all the details throughout this apartment and the stay. This place was a blessing to me and I would stay again in a heartbeat!

We had such a great time on our trip to Acadia and the treetop retreat was absolutely perfect. Nola and Whayne were extremely accommodating and provided us some local tips and maps. They can be involved as little or as much as you prefer. The quality of the apartment and furniture is great, honestly the pictures don't do it justice. Kitchen and bathroom have everything you would need or may have forgotten. We would stay here again in the future and highly recommend it to others. And yes the muffins are that great!

Where do I begin with this review? Why I Chose the Artist Studio: I must say if you pass this place up in your AirB&B search you will be sorry! The component that really sold me on this place was the pet-free atmosphere. It is hard to find an AirB&B that is free of pet hair and dander for my family since we have severe allergies to animals. Once I started to assess the other amenities it was a “no-brainer”. Additionally, my niece and I have shellfish allergies and it is a rarity to find a place that has a separate cooking space for those who like to eat Lobster. The Interior and Exterior: The modern decor and energy efficiency of the studio is stellar. You can tell that there was an immense effort and thought put into the design from the marble threshold in the master suite bathroom, the all natural products used to clean (the aromatherapy dish soap was my favorite), how well the colors and decor flowed from one room to the other, and the energy efficient appliances. As a professional who specializes in energy management, I was very pleased. I wanted to take the bed in the master suite home with me. If you are the type of person who enjoys a great night’s rest, this is the place for you. All electronics had a friendly user interface and we did not have any issues. There is a large dining room table which we had 3 square meals a day family style that you will enjoy. I can go on and on here. We thoroughly enjoyed cooking on the grill, sitting outside on the patio furniture. I really appreciated the craftsmanship of the stairs and landing leading up to the door and felt comfortable that my niece was not going to get any splinters when she traversed the staircase barefoot. It was a pleasure not to have to keep track of any keys since the entry door has a code system. There is another location with a larger outdoor space, common area, and other amenities that you need to explore also! Hosts: Marc was very accommodating. As a person with a type A personality, I appreciated the thoroughness of the information packet, maps, and suggestions that he gave. What I enjoyed the most was strolling in downtown Southwest Harbor, making friends with 3 families at the Causeway which is a quick jaunt from the Artist Studio, exploring the attractions in Bar Harbor such as Cadillac Mountain and Park Loop Road, staying up until 4AM telling childhood stories, and having dance jam sessions with my sisters and niece in honor of my late father (it was great that we didn't have anyone below us; an additional perk of this place). It was effortlessly one of the best vacations and if I had not stumbled upon this place, these memories wouldn’t exist. My niece enjoyed herself so much, she just had to leave Marc and Victoria a card...

Our family had a wonderful time at the Artist's studio. Marc and Victoria welcomed us warmly and provided us with many useful information such as where to go, what to eat and what to see. As this was a first trip for our family to Maine, such information was extremely helpful. The Artists' Studio itself was a great place. It was well-maintained, clean and convenient. We could not have asked for better home away from home. We especially liked the heater in the bathroom!! Thanks Marc and Victoria

Great folks, great food, and great relaxing visit to the "quiet side" of the island.

Dora and Daniel are very caring and warmhearted hosts. We really enjoyed the house and our room as well as the great breakfast (especially because of Daniel: an artist in the kitchen!) and the yummy goodies in the afternoon. The Inn is perfectly located to go on all the hikes in Acadia National Park. We would stay there definately again!

The host greeted us upon arrival and each morning and interacted with all the guest which made everyone feel welcome. The location was well described and fit what we were looking for in a B&B. The little town is very nice with great places to eat.

Dora and Daniel upgraded our room when we arrived, prepared hand-dipped chocolate strawberries and a delivered a beautiful Prosecco in celebration of our anniversary. The room was very comfortable and the bed was excellent. The wrap-around porch is great to sit and decompress. Southwest Harbor is a lovely little town, far less crowded and much more peaceful than Bar Harbor, 10 minutes away. With numerous foodie restaurants within walking distance, including a spectacular recommendation by Daniel, we had a great evening. The breakfast was phenomenal, including gluten and dairy-free waffles with a homemade strawberry sauce that Daniel prepared for my wife. Dora and Daniel are true professionals with a caring touch!

The Inn is right off of Main Street in Southwest Harbor. It's close to shops and restaurants in this quaint Mt. Desert Island town. The Inn is an old boarding school and has plenty of space and beautiful green space. We only stayed here one day but it was very well spent. Dora was a phenomenal host who gave great recommendations for hikes, playgrounds, and restaurants. Daniel made a gourmet breakfast (baked pear and mascarpone cheese!). The room was small but suited our needs. The bathroom was clean and spacious. We definitely think you should stay here!

Our stay with Dora and her husband was just fantastic. Right when you walk in, Hersheys Kisses at the door! Who does that!? Dora does! Plus coffee, juices, cookies and other chocolates in the quaint community/ living room. The b&b itself is just awesome; wrap around porch with comfy chairs, a fire pit, right next to all the shops in town and the place is kept immaculant. Breakfast was just awesome. Homemade creme' fresh with peaches and a delicious quiche on the porch, with an herb garden next to the kitchen. It was great talking to her also, might have started my wife and I on a new career path! lol. Thanks again Dora, maybe see you in Montana (?) for some snowmobiling and cross country skiing. Cliff and Donna

Dora and Daniel run such a beautiful, cozy inn. With delicious breakfast spreads, afternoon cookies/lemonade, and Chinese checkers and other games available for fun games at (URL HIDDEN) the perfect home base for exploring Acadia!

Dora & Daniel made us feel so welcome in their idyllic inn and did everything possible to provide us with a memorable stay. The accommodation was everything as described, and more. The inn is very conveniently located in the centre of this quaint village within a few minutes walk of restaurants. We met some lovely guests who return regularly, this is testimony of Dora & Daniel's hospitality.

We loved Penury Hall and we will be back! Gretchen is wonderful and a great cook.

Gretchen is a great hostess. Her rooms are comfortable and cute, and she can make one hell of an eggs benedict. It reminded me of the comfort you feel when you stay over at a relatives house. My wife was going through a very difficult period in her life at the time of our visit, and Penury Hall was a nice place to relax and distract herself a bit.

We enjoyed our stay at Gretchen's a great deal. We had all we needed, the location is great, and Gretchen provided great breakfasts and a good deal of local information on things to do and places to go.

Gretchen was at work when I arrived, but there were notes on both the back and front doors for me so I would know how to make myself at home. I put my bags down in my room, and then came downstairs to the sitting room to investigate the TV situation because it was the US Open finals weekend. I was there when Gretchen came home from work, and she immediately sat down to chat with me. From that moment I felt like I was part of the family, and I hated to say good bye when I left on Monday. It was such a pleasant stay, and I will return.

We had the most wonderful time with Gretchen! Her place is in the nicest part of Mt Desert Island, she is a truly great host and we had loads of fun and interesting chats! We would absolutely love to go and visit again.

Mrs Strong is a very nice person. We arrived very late the first night around 11pm, but she stayed awake to make sure we arrived safely. The room is cosy and comfortable we have a separate bathroom which is quite comfortable. She has a very lovely black cat Widget. He is so friendly and cute we had a great time together. She also prepared very rich and delicious brunch for us which we really appreciate. Penury Hall is nice a place to stay I'd say, although it is not a quite new building but gives you the feel of home with delicated decorations you can find in every corner.

Molto buona l'accoglienza, fantastica la colazione è il poter chiacchierare con i vari ospiti.

Gretchen was prompt to reply to messages and easy to communicate with. She was helpful regarding ways to make the most of our visit. Her home is in an ideal location in Southwest Harbor. It was great to be away from the holiday crowds in Bar Harbor and the town was delightful. She was a wonderful host.

We have enjoyed our stay with Alison and Steve very much; getting 3 signs with your name pointing you in the right direction of the house for the last mile or so is really great and makes you feel welcome! It was our first experience with only renting a room+ bathroom and I can tell you it was very nice as with Alison and Steve we could use the main living room as well and easily were able to share the kitchen next to our room and bathroom (which were great already). All the tips we got from both Alison and Steve during (the not so "small" ) breakfast for things to do in and around acadia park were perfectly suited to what we were looking for; so I can highly recommend anyone to stay with Alison and Steve as they are both welcoming and knowlegeable about the Acadia park trails and nice restaurants in the area.

Alison and Steve's place was perfect for us and we highly recommend it to anybody interested in visiting Acadia. The location is great, the room is beautiful with a very comfortable bed, and most importantly, Alison was extremely kind and generous. Alison was especially helpful and generous with her time in helping us plan every day of our vacation.

The hosts made it very easy to locate the property which is a tucked away beautifully in a quiet setting. The property was very attractive and house was also very comfortable and amenities were great. Our room and bathroom was clean and appointed well and very quiet.

Alison and Steve were very accommodating and made certain that they were there for our arrival. Things were clean, organized, and tasteful. The setting is a quiet area on the quiet side of the island, and Golf Lane is within easy walking distance to the center of Southwest Harbor. Southwest Harbor is not nearly as busy as Bar Harbor but still has a number of great places for food and gift shopping. The internet access worked well. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay with great hosts, we recommend Golf Lane.

Alison and Steve are amazing! They are very welcoming and very knowledgeable about the area. We followed many of their tips and were not disappointed. They made sure we were comfortable in the house. The room and bathroom were clean, cozy and comfortable. The house itself is in a quiet lane. The neighborhood is extremely serene with absolutely no disturbances. The drive from the house to Bar Harbor is roughly half hour. It is a beautiful drive so we didn't mind it at all. Overall a five star experience.

Allison and Steve were great hosts: very welcoming and making us feel comfortable in their wonderful home. Our bedroom, bed and bath were really clean and comfortable. We had use of their kitchen, frig, dining and living whenever we wanted. We chanced to arrive just after Steve made some exceptional apple pies which they generously shared with us. Their house is close to the center of Southwest Harbor which is much less touristy than Bar Harbor and a nice small town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you, Allison and Steve!

The hosts were very accommodating and were happy to provide information on Acadia hiking trails to newcomers. The room was quiet, spacious, and clean, though it can get a little cold at night in the fall. The location is not very straightforward to get to, but the hosts were very helpful with directions.

We had a wonderful experience staying with Alison and Steve. They treated us like family and gave us invaluable advice about hiking, biking and kayaking only locals would know. We enjoyed our conversations and meals together. The accommodations couldn't have been better.

We had a great time at Julie's Little House on Seawall! This was our first visit to Maine and the accommodations were just what we were looking for. The neighborhood was quiet yet the national park hikes we did were not far away. We enjoyed cooking fresh seafood for ourselves in the well equipped kitchen. The juice and coffee were appreciated on our first morning, as we got in quite late at night and stores were closed. The binder of information that Julie provided on area attractions was helpful, especially the detailed hiking guide! Our only regret is that our vacation went by too quickly! Thank you Julie for providing a perfect place to stay.

We met Julie on our final day as we were preparing to leave her delightful house. She was a great host in that she stayed right on top of our communications and had absolutely everything prepared for our arrival, including basic provisions (in the refrigerator) for the next morning's breakfast. The house is on the "quiet" side of Acadia National Park, but it was an easy drive to anywhere on the island...and there are maps/signage everywhere. The road on which Julie's house sits was a bit busy during the day, but quiet at night. This lack of headlights helped in viewing the beautiful star-filled sky! We would not hesitate to return. Thank you, Julie.

Not quiet. The cottage is cute, well appointed, super clean, and accurately portrayed in the pictures. It is situated right on Seawall, which is a busy street in the summer. I had asked the host if I should be concerned about noise and she said she hadn't had any complaints. It's true that even the most recent reviews don't mention the cars that go by steadily during the day. The nights were quiet, which was appreciated.

' Review Julie's little house is bigger on the inside! We fell in love with the place from the moment we arrived. It served as our home base as we explored Acadia and its surrounds. The fully appointed kitchen was a real treat as was the calming, spa-like atmosphere that Julie created. The location provided for easy navigation to nearby hikes, beach, Bar Harbor and Cadillac mountain. And, the night sky was absolutely brilliant with stars! Julie is a great host and Jim and I highly recommend her "house" to other visitors.

Julie's house was an excellent home base for exploring Acadia. We loved staying on the "quiet side of the island" far away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Incredible hiking trails, two great lobster pounds, and multiple scenic shore walks are all a quick drive from her cottage. The kitchen was well appointed and we really appreciated the welcoming gift of fruit, juice, and coffee. In short, Julie's house is the perfect home base for exploring Acadia and the island.

Julie's little house is perfect for an outdoorsy stay in Acadia National Park. Cozy and nicely decorated with plenty of space for 3 or 4. Worry not, her listing is very accurate!

Julie spared no detail in making us feel super welcome and at home in her Little House- this was the perfect romantic retreat for us! The Little House is immaculately clean, and the location is fantastic. We love to cook and grill, and Julie has provided a terrific grill and tools for it, and after visiting Beech Hill Farm for amazing organic produce and dairy, we would meet Ray the Fishman (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays he parks a truck loaded with coolers on 102 just East of Seawall...) and make some amazing food! Julie even provided a little cooler for us for a day out on the water. Communication with Julie was always easy and quick, and when she couldn't be there she had Tom taking care of the Little House and checking in on our needs (thanks, Tom!) Southwest Harbor and "the quiet side of the island" is where it's at for MDI- so many great little finds- trails right off the road at Acadia Mountain/Echo Lake are perfect light hikes, Thurston's Lobster Pound is one of the best spots on the whole island! We can't wait for our next trip to Southwest Harbor and Julie's Little House!

Very cute cottage with nice amenities including an easy to use grill and information about Acadia national park. Shower/bath was very nice.

Fantastic house in a very beautiful area. The house was very clean with plenty of room for 6 people, very confortable matresses, and full of games for childrens. The neighbourhood is quite with a short drinve distance to the town and Acadia trails. Melissa aswered all our questions very fast, she provided good tips and recommendations about the area, restaurants and things to do. I will definitely recommend this house !

The cottage was cozy, neat and clean. It is such a beautiful, quiet and relaxing place. If go there you'll see that there is a lot of thought put into it. In addition, Melissa was very helpful and friendly.

Vi havde en fantastisk uge på Bar Harbor Star Cottage.. Hytten er ren og meget velindrettet og inventaret er lækkert. Vi manglede ikke noget og vi vil helt klart komme tilbage. Hytten er let at finde og ligger i et rigtig dejligt område omkring Bar Harbor.
