We were lucky to snatch a stay at Acadia Cottages during the peak season at Acadia National Park. A bit of a drive to the park itself, but very close to the Bass Harbor lighthouse, Wonderland trail and Ship Harbor trail (our favorite). Also a short walk to some good restaurants. The owner, Laurie, was the sweetest, and we got to meet the deer on our first day! The cottages have almost everything you may need, including all types of cookware - the only thing I would add is just a bottle of cooking oil, but totally understand why it may not be the preference. You can also borrow a charcoal grill from the office (charcoal itself not provided), and there is a bonfire in the evenings. Laurie shared some great recommendations during check-in, and there was a binder in the cottage with some helpful details about the restaurants and hiking trails in the area. Overall, we had a great stay - quiet, cozy and peaceful. We would absolutely recommend staying here when coming to Acadia.

Our 2nd stay with John and Laurie. As always the cabin was spotless and well organized. The hosts were over the top friendly, accommodating and just truly special people who instantly become friends. They constantly go over and above to make your stay a great experience. We are blessed to spend time with these kind and caring couple.

We had a wonderful stay at Acadia Cottages! Laurie and John were lovely, and everything exceeded expectations. The location was also great, close to so many trails and nature, which was much quieter and a nice relief from the hecticness of Bar Harbor. Also, coming from the city, it was really nice to see deer on the property and actually be able to see the stars at night. We would definitely pick Acadia Cottages again, the next time we visited Maine (which we have to do!).Nearby activities: Close to many hiking trails and nature activitiesWalkability: In walking distance to many restaurants and shops!

What a lovely place to stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our week there. The cottage was quite new, very well equipped (full kitchen, kitchenware, etc.) and with a super comfy bed. The owners were very friendly, too, and Southwest Harbor is a very charming place to stay, within 30 minutes of anywhere on Mt Desert Island.Walkability: Easy walk to shops and restaurants in SW Harbor

Lovely cottages in a forested setting right in Southwest Harbor. We had the last 2 cottages towards the back of the property, which were extremely quiet and peaceful. We could hear the tree frogs vocalize at night. Our teenage daughter loved having her own cabin next to ours… cabins were super clean and efficient with a little kitchenette right there. The warm and friendly hosts made a campfire every night, which made for lovely visits with the other guests. We hope to be back!Nearby activities: We were able to walk across the street down to Sail Acadia for a cruise on a historic wooden sailboat around the islands… highly recommended.

Staying here was perfect! The owners were incredibly helpful and our experience was smooth sailing. Our cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Bar harbor was not too far of a drive and it was great being close to other less popular parts of Acadia. Southwest harbor was a nice break from the crowds in Bar Harbor but still had everything you needed (restaurants, grocery store, gas, shopping). If I ever get the chance to return I would definitely stay here again.

Nice warm couple hosted us! Lovely ambience. Only room for improvement was that the bathtub was a little shakey/unstable. Had a great time overall :) Truly lived up to my dream of living in a nice cottage in the woods.

We just returned from a great stay at Acadia Cottages. It is in a great location on the quiet side of the island with easy access to the town of Southwest Harbor and Acadia National Park. It's walking distance to town yet feels quiet and secluded. Laurie and John were fantastic hosts and our cottage was immaculate, quiet and comfortable. We can't wait to visit again!

We just got back from our first trip to Maine and we stubbles across these cottages when looking for somewhere to book. It was absolutely perfect! We had a total of 7 people, 3 young boys and they loved exploring the property and walking to the marina nearby! The owners were incredibly nice and helpful too!
