Peaceful Place
Nice quiet spot tucked away in the privacy of a wooded lot. The landscaping and fire pit add to the relaxing atmosphere. Owners were very responsive and left a wonderful welcome gift. Easy check-in / check-out. Short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Enjoyed our stay.

Our grouped loved this property, and we would most definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back to the area. Quiet, well-equipped and very comfortable. All of the previous praises are well-deserved.

Convenient to Acadia, quiet, and oh-so-clean
This was a magnificent VRBO. My kids remarked when we finished out trip that, "I think this was the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed in!" It was the perfect size for our family of 4 + in-laws. The kitchen was well-equipped and had all the basic staples we needed for our week. The beds were comfy and the rooms were large. We especially enjoyed the patio and secluded setting to relax after our days hiking in Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor is also close. Make sure you stop by the Travelin' Lobster for lunch if you are at the cabin during the day! It's very close, very delicious, economically priced, and very popular.

Lovely cottage on MDI
We had a wonderful stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was spacious, and it had air conditioning! We appreciated that it was quiet and secluded off the road in a beautiful wooded area. The location was great for exploring the island - easy to get to Bar Harbor, to hiking in Acadia and to the "quiet side" of the island. A bonus is that it is minutes away from our favorite lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster.

Everything you need
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we booked this property last minute without too much research, but it was perfect for what we needed. We traveled with a 1 year old, a 3 year old and 3 adults. There is a bedroom with two beds and a pack and play which was perfect for the kids. It was easy to get to and check in, and there was everything there you might need to cooking, clean-up, and they even left us some toys to play with for the kids. They also left us some cute gifts and a note which was appreciated, and plenty of information.

Wonderful cottage
Moss Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, well-appointed, organized and very private. The outside deck and garden/patio were lovely and we enjoyed watching the local wildlife - like the snowshoe rabbit munching on Jean's garden. The location was very convenient and encouraged us to explore the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island. Jean was a great host and made us feel so welcome! I would encourage anyone to stay at Moss Cottage.

Moss Mountain Cottage Gem
We were so lucky to have chosen this cottage for our week long stay in Maine. It's very clean, quiet and we felt very safe staying here during times of COVID. The owners were very thoughtful to provide such a well stocked home for their guests. The king bed was very comfortable and there were nice towels for the bath. Jean provided great communication during our stay. We highly recommend Moss Mountain Cottage for your Maine vacation.
