WINTER SPECIAL . Book for 3 nights and we will make it 4 when you book . SIMPLE !

Perfect getaway
My husband and I had a wonderful time. This little cottage was great. The ocean is just a short walk away and everything in Bar Harbor is quick car ride. The host is very attentive and helpful. He even sent us a list of restaurants (we went in the off season so some places are closed) that were open and near by. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was comfortable, private, and clean. We will be going back in sure.

Lovely winter retreat
This was our second year coming here and we absolutely loved it. John is extremely communicative and made the check in/check out process very easy for us. The cottage is very cozy and extremely convenient to get to the park and into town!

Lovely Getaway
This cottage was perfect for our Anniversary getaway - in a quiet neighborhood but very close to the Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. John was an attentive host offering ideas for activities and restaurants. The cottage was very comfortable and had all of the amenities needed. We will definitely stay again!
