Our family had a wonderful stay at the Ripples Cottage! The location was perfect for our Acadia adventures and the home was comfortable and easy for us and our children. The kitchen had everything we needed, towels were abundant and nice quality and the entire place was spotless when we arrived. Thank you for a great stay- would rent again and highly recommend!
Itâs not our first time staying at the cottage. It is a great location and has everything you need for a wonderful visit to Acadia. The host is incredibly responsive.
We had an awesome time . Itâs a beautiful cottage nestled in pine trees. Itâs the perfect location easy to get to Bar Harbor . The cottage has everything you need. It was one of the most relaxing vacations Iâve had
Ripples Cottage was the perfect place for our trip to Acadia National Park. It is very close to everything in Acadia National Park. You can walk to Long Pond and go swimming or rent canoes or kayaks from the business right a cross the street. The cottage is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. The host was very responsive and even stopped by to meet us. I would highly recommend staying at Ripples Cottage.
We had a great week at Ripples cottage. Itâs in a quiet neighborhood centrally located on MDI so very convenient to get all parts of the island. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. Host was very attentive and communication was quick.
Ripples was a perfect cottage for our family. Bobbie was an amazing host. She provided everything we could possibly need. The cottage was well stocked with kitchen supplies and towels. The location was very quiet. We enjoyed fires in the evening, and the cottage was very comfortable for our family of 6. We would love to go back the next time we travel to Maine. I would highly recommend the Ripples to all my friends.
Our family of 6 had a great visit to Acadia. The cottage met all our needs. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, etc. Perfect location with easy access to everything but a quiet evening escape.
We loved the cottage. Beautiful clean and the location for us wanting to see Acadia couldnât have better. Most trails were within just few minutes away.
Family and I stayed at cottage for two weeks
Very clean nice setup for younger kids
A bit of a drive into town but we were looking to stay on the quiet side of MDI so this was perfect for us. Great communication. Would stay here again.
My family of 4 and my dad stayed at Ripples Cottage for a week and it was a perfect place to stay! It was cozy but spacious. A close drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. On tainy days it there were lots of puzzles and games to play. And we loved sitting ouside at might by the chimenea
This was the perfect cottage, in the perfect location, for the perfect vacation to Mount Desert Island. The cottage was so homey and comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The processes for check in and check out were convenient and easy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us.
We had a lovely stay, I loved the location and spread out ability of the property. Having laundry on site was a big plus. Also really appreciated having linens and towels provided since we were traveling from far away. The kitchen was well set up for our needs and the beds were super comfortable!
The cottage had absolutely everything we needed. It was very clean and directions were very clear. We stayed as 2 adult couples so the 2 bathrooms were perfect! I would not hesitate to stay here again. Beautiful garden too
The Ripples cottage was very clean and the appliances were new. Beds were comfortable. Good Wi-Fi. Lots of windows to enjoy occasional visits by wild turkeys and deer. Quiet neighborhood, but close to villages and Acadia Park entrance. Over all nice place.
Gorgeous newly renovated cottage central to everything on the island.
Amazing cottage all on one level and easy to live in, all amenities, fresh and newly renovated, beautiful white linens and clean. Great location, very quiet (loons at night) and centrally located to everything on MDI.
We loved Ripples cottage. Very spacious layout and perfectly centered in the middle of MDI. The yard was great, where I toddler spent most of the time hunting for mushrooms. Definitely looking to return again next year.
Just got back to MD from a great week at Ripples Cottage. Bobbie was a wonderful host. Cottage was clean, comfy, new appliances, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. It was in a great spot for accessing all of the island in short drives. We would definitely stay again.
Ripples Cottage was everything we wanted. It was cozy and had all the conveniences we needed. The location was ideal - it was close to the highlights of Acadia and an easy drive into Bar Harbor. We loved being so close to Long Pond, where we rented kayaks for a lovely paddle. We hope to stay here again in the future!
My husband, friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our week on Mt Desert Island. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. We ate clams, lobsters, hiked Acadia, and sat around a fire each evening. It was perfect and we will cherish the good memories!
Ripples Cottage sits between the "Quiet Side" and the busier eastern side of Mount Desert Island, making it super convenient to get to either bustling Bar Harbor or the less crowded areas of Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor. The property is private, comfortable, and full of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Bobbie was quick to respond to any questions I had and check in/check out was very easy. Highly recommend!
Ripples Cottage captures you as you first walk in with it's wall of windows and a peaceful view of the yard and lots of green trees. Our favorite walk down, what else?, Ripples Road brings us to more Ripples as the water comes pouring from the lake and down a series of steps, under the road to manifest as a stream on the other side. It was a wonderful property, and communication with the host was simple.
I moved to Maine 30 years ago, thinking it may be a temporary stay. I never left. Nature is one of the most important things to me and Acadia offers more than I can possibly keep up with in my spare time. In the middle of summer I still am able to hike without seeing another soul, go for a bike ride any time of day, kayak in any number of lakes or coves, and swim at the end of a long day. As a landscape designer I see the beauty of nature and capture that in my work. And for those days when I just want to get away, I find solace in the fact that I can walk out my back door and step into Acadia National Park.
My office was located on Mount Desert Island for nearly 9 years. The structure that housed it was previously a seasonal rental and it begged to become 'one' again. I completely renovated the interior, I moved my office to a neighboring town, and Ripples Cottage was reborn. Since then each off season I do more improvements to make your stay more enjoyable each summer. Most recently, I have replaced all the appliances and master bedroom king bed.
Ripples Cottage is located on a quiet side street with little traffic. One of the things my family and I love about staying there is the solitude of the space. Being set back from the road even when cars do pass by, we feel protected. We also love the meadow behind the house and woods edge that forms the perimeter of the property. The loons call to each other between the three lakes and the owls serenade us most evenings. It is a true home away from home feeling for us when we have the luxury of staying in our own rental.
