"We had a wonderful winter stay at Mermaid cottage. The kitchen is well appointed with new appliances. The decor is simple beach cottage vibe with comfortable furniture overlooking a working harbor. While my husband worked at JAX lab in Bar Harbor, I worked remotely from the diningroom, looking up occasionally to watch the lobsterboats and birds putter or fly by.We did not use the upper floor. It has a spiral staircase and low ceiling but the lower floor but we did not need the space. The first floor is large, light and airy -- very spacious for a couple and a dog.This cottage is located on the quiet side of Acadia which we prefer as we like the serenity, wildlife and hiking. We shop en route at Standard Bakery in Portland or Notch Bakery in SW Harbor for bread and stop in Ellsworth for groceries but there is an IGA and other small markets nearby. there is also a wonderful outdoor market cart outside the SW Harbor libarary to srock up on reading materials. The Bass Harbor Library is stupendous.I walked to Bass Harbor lighthouse through the snow and played fetch with the dog on the strip of nearby beach daily. The snow was falling when we arrived, but the owner thoughfully had shovelled and salted before our arrival leaving supplies in case we needed more. One of the neighbors kindly plowed us out after another snowstorm.Justin, the host, was welcoming and attentive. We can't wait to return to this cozy cottage by the sea."

"My friends and I had a group trip (6 adults, 2 dogs) to Maine, and we absolutely loved our stay. It was really nice to find a pet friendly spot. The VRBO was an easy 30-40 minute drive to the spots in Acadia we wanted to check out. The home was easy to get to and had more than enough space for us. We loved eating around the large dining table."

"This home was amazing! Great location, and the house had everything we needed, including lots of space! Loved sitting by the fire pit outside and watching the stars. "

"Super new and clean. Loved the open floor plan for visiting after our hikes in Acadia. Beds were very comfortable. House did not lack in any necessities. It was about a 35 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Not exactly easy to run back to the house if you wanted a mid day break, but we knew the location when we booked and enjoyed the quietness of neighborhood. The host was extremely responsive. Would definitely stay here again. "
