, Romantique et éclectique Getaway 'Summerwood Cottage'

We spent 2 weeks at Summerwood and will definately be back. Situated with easy access to connector trails to Otter Cove and several hikes/walks in Acadia Natl Park as well as quick drive to the park. In a quiet area but convenient to the activities/restaurants in Bar Harbor as well as Seal Harbor, NE Harbor etc. Very centrally located and away from the crowds. We particularly loved spending mornings and late day on the covered porch and/or back deck. The cottage is as represented in photos. Great accomodations for a 2 week stay, equipped kitchen as well as grill on deck for when you want to enjoy meals at home. Peggy was a wonderful host and very accomodating and responsive to our questions/needs. Would highly recommend!

Great location, comfortable accommodations, and an overall positive experience making it our home for a week. We enjoyed being off the beaten path after fun days exploring all around MDI, and then being able to cook seafood dinners from Parson’s and sit on the quiet porch with a cocktail in hand. Hope to stay again in the future. Thanks!

Lovely cottage, the location and the porch/deck make the place. You can hike out at the end of the street, and there is a market, too. You are on a quiet residential street, fyi. Note the main bed is high, and you have to go outside to the basement entrance to do laundry. The laundry and bathroom were immaculate. My only quibble is the pull out sofa. It has a piece of plywood in it to keep it from sagging when you sit on it. The pull out mattress is in terrible shape. I was really glad I brought at least 1 air mattress, but I wish I had 2 for my 2 teenagers. For this reason, I say the cottage sleeps 2, unless you bring air mattresses. Highly recommended still though!

Perfect location! The cottage was adorable and had everything we needed as Peggy describes. Decor was apropos and furnishings made us feel all the comforts of home. Hiking and biking to some of Acadia’s best was right from our doorstep. The 2 outdoor decks (with grille, back of cottage and a covered deck with porch swing) provided us with means to top off a terrific day in the Park with food and friends or just relax with a good glass of wine :)

Definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to be at Acadia and near Bar Harbor but separate from the tourist bustle.

We will return...thanks so much for contributing to our vacation!

We had a fantastic week on MDI staying at Summerwood Cottage. We have stayed at Summerwood in the past and always love having the chance to return, this time with our 9 month old son! Although the early June weather in Maine can be finicky, we thankfully had a majority of beautiful days and enjoyed hikes, beautiful scenery, a bike ride on the Schoodic side of Acadia, popovers at the Jordan Pond House, and plenty of beautiful seafood. We also enjoyed relaxing and slowing down in the cottage on the few rainy days we had during our week. Based on a brochure Peggy provided in the cottage we tried Thurston's lobster pound on our final night on MDI and WOW, we loved it and found an immediate new family tradition for the future. We also discovered new hiking options that we previously weren't aware of, including the Gorham mountain hike that you can do directly from the cottage without having to get in the car. The cottage was clean and tasteful as always and the porch light was on with fresh Lupine's in a vase on the beautiful deck to greet our arrival. I was also happy to see the TV and Wifi had been upgraded since our last visit which made the inevitable moments when you need to stay connected with work easier to accomplish. We are already looking forward to our next stay at Summerwood Cottage!!!
