Loved this little cottage! Such a beautiful spot steps from the water. Surrounded by a lovely garden filled with humming birds. Has everthing you could possibly need and more. Communication could not have been better. We really enjoyed our stay. Bikes were a huge bonus! Thank you for sharing your home.
Very sweet cottage. Perfect location, quiet and easy to get to hiking destinations. Well maintained, quality linens, towels. Comfortable and homey. Owner was communicative and gave great suggestions to us. Highly recommended. Garden was a lovely bonus.
This cottage in Bass Harbor is perfect! Minutes to Acadia park with bikes to ride the carriage trails (make sure your vehicle/rental can fit them, it's a little dangerous to ride on the road). It's quiet and private with a great patio and garden. The kitchen has everything you need, Leslie is a helpful and responsive host!
Leslieâs garden cottage was a peaceful and pleasant place to stay while we visited Acadia. We enjoyed spending time in the garden amongst the hummingbirds when we werenât hiking. Leslieâs check in/out instructions were very clear and she was a text away if we needed anything. There are several ANP trails only minutes away from the cottage, including the Bass Harbor lighthouse which we visited at sunset. The bedroom was cozy and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics. Would recommend!
Leslie and her partnerâs property exceeded expectations. The home was exactly what we needed for our one-week stay to Maine, specifically to visit Acadia National Park and use our boat. LOCATION: The property is in a more quiet location, perfect for our enjoyment of calmer evenings, off the road and away from Bar Harbor crowds, yet still 30 minutes max from everything. Thereâs even a gas station a short distance away which came in clutch many times.PROPERTY: The home itself is beautiful, boasting a lovely garden with bird feeders, a table and fire pit, with the ocean nearby. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed and the bedroom, bathroom and TV areas were so cozy and accommodating. The check-in/out process was super easy and Leslie was ABOVE & BEYOND when we had any questions.HIGHLY RECOMMEND 12/10! Thank you!
The property is quiet and beautifully kept. I loved sitting on the patio and enjoying the sounds of birds and watching the bees pollinate the flowers nearby. It was so peaceful. The house had all things youâd need and was cozy and comfortable. The location was fantastic for beautiful nearby trails and it was the only about 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. We had a wonderful week and loved our visit!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage and greatly appreciated the communication and suggestions from Leslie! We did as much as possible in and around Acadia for this three days we were there. Everything was perfect, and we hope to come back again sometime.
The Garden Cottage was a great place to stay while we checked out Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was very comfortable and well supplied. Would recommend.
The property was great. The listing from vrbo was incorrect at verification, said property is in Georgia not Maine.
The owner is fantastic. Gave local recommendations amd was very helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our four nights in the Bass Harbor Cottage. It was perfect for two adults. The bedroom and sitting room were very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen had all you would need to prepare meals and a nice eating area or there were even TV trays upstairs in the sitting room. We enjoyed relaxing each evening after dinner with a DVD from the great selection provided. Our host, Leslie, gave us wonderful tips on places to eat, shop, and things to do. The drive to Acadia's main loop was easy and beautiful. Passing through the little towns was fun. Although we may not have been in the center of the hustle and bustle, we could easily drive to BarHarbor of other spots. Absolutely enjoyed our stay.
Close to the water and weâll equipped. Bed was comfortable and linens were new and fresh. Perfect for two people.
Property owner is responsive to communications. We had few questions and overall enjoyed our stay.
Great property on the quiet side with a lovely patio garden. Easy drive into Southwest Harbor for shopping and restaurants. Upstairs living space with TV a plus.
We loved our stay on the Quiet Side of mount desert island. Beautiful garden makes up for lack of direct lake views but access to hikes, carriage roads and coast is easy to get to.
The property was ideal for our needs. Wonderful location close to Bass Harbor Marsh where we put in our two person canoe and lovely hiking without the crowds. My wife loved the well appointed kitchen. All in all a lovely property.
The cottage is very comfortabel and the location is wonderful. A good bed for a good night sleep. Near the water, near nice restaurants and near enough to Arcadia national park and Bar Harbor. A great place to stay.
Perfect cozy cottage surrounded by beautiful gardens. Owner stocks everything you could need for comfort and convenience. Lots to do in area. Bar Harbor only about a 20 minute drive away. Great access to all Acadia Nat'l Park has to offer. Great restaurants close to home. Would highly recommend!!!
A perfect cottage for two. Cute private garden. Clean, cosy, fully stocked with everything we needed. (Even had a white noise machine for sleeping) Quiet side of Mt. Desert Island. Had a bit of miscommunication about checking in, but neighbors helped us find cottage.
My husband and I had a lovely stay at this great little cottage outside of Southwest Harbor back in October. It's in a great location and nice and roomy for two people. Communication with Leslie was exceptionally good. There was a glitch with the cleaning people, and she was fantastic at handling it. We would definitely go back.
Acadia is our favorite place to be. When we purchased the property, it wasn't so pretty, and we have spent years doing construction and gardening. After much hard work it is a pretty and comfortable cottage. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
You will be on the "Quiet Side", away from the crowds in Bar Harbor, but still very near many hikes which are part of Acadia, but are located on our side of the island. We are also only 3 miles from Echo Lake.
