Perfect Location

We loved our stay here. Communication with the property manager and owner was great. The property had everything that we needed for our stay. The upstairs was spacious and each of the kids had their own place to sleep, plus they loved having a big screen tv. We spent our days in Acadia or Bar Harbor, and this was a great location to get to both. If we come back to this area, we would love to stay here again.

Bay harbor visit

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage. It has all the necessary supplies. Clean and comfortable. Property is beautiful with sunset views. It is located out of town, you would want a vehicle to get back n forth. They have great suggestions for hiking, dinner and activities. Owners respond quickly to any needs.

Secluded Property yet very close to everything

Stayed in the cottage with two families, we had our 9 year old daughter and my sister's family had a 1 year old son. The property is not large, but the perfect size for our summer vacation. The upstairs game room is perfect for kids to sleep and to hang out. The master bedroom is very large. The second bedroom is tiny, but enough for a couple. The property is clean and has a lovely view. It is secluded and you don't notice the owners next door. The property manager was very very responsive. Lovely visit.

We had a fabulous time and Ralph and Judy’s suggestions were perfect! Beautiful view of the Cove where we saw special sunsets. We felt that we got an excellent experience of Maine and Acadia here and part of that was the warm hospitality of Ralph and Judy. If you want to visit Maine, we would highly recommend their home!
