Excellent yet very quiet location

We used the cabin as a base for our visit to Acadia. It is very conveniently located so that visit to the north and south of the island is very easy. In less than 10 minutes you can get to a nice beach and watch the sunset. Local restaurants are also close by to grab local lunches and dinners.

Acadia Home Base

The space was a perfect home base to fit our family during day hiking and exploring. We were able to fit in two pack and plays and were pleasantly surprised to find the AC even though it’s not mentioned in the listing.

Perfect Little Cottage

This is the perfect little cottage for two. It was wonderfully located near a small grocery store, a short drive from Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. It was private and just absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great place to stay near Acadia.

Trip to Acadia NP

Stayed here for an anniversary trip to Acadia NP. House was very close by to the park and the owners had great information regarding areas closer to the house if you were interested in eating out, going swimming, and much more. Was equipped for everything we needed and was a cute little house for a getaway. Would definitely recommend this place!

Cute, clean, comfortable

This cottage is really clean and comfortable. It is away from the touristy and busy areas of the island, but less than 30 minutes away from any area of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The kitchen is truly a kitchenette, but we were able to cook a few meals (for two) with no problem. Nicole is very responsive and had many suggestions for kayaking off the beaten path. Firepit, large TV, eclectic music collection, tourist library, and AC are welcomed amenities. Enjoy!

Quiet side of Mount Desert Island

Clean, nicely appointed small getaway without all the hubbub of other places on MDI. Suited the needs of two participants in MDI marathon/ half marathon. As stated in property description, there is a ladder to the sleeping loft but one with which sore runners had no problem. Assume the water is heated by tankless heater because hot/water available upon demand. Nice!!! We were there 3 nights, would liked to have stayed longer. Great jumping off place to explore the island. Highly recommend.

Acadia/Bar Harbor Getaway

My husband and I booked this as our home base while we visited Acadia National Park with our pup! The overall space was very clean and as described. Nicole and Andrew were great hosts and were more than happy to offer any assistance we may need and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable! They also provided great recommendations on hikes and restaurants in the area. I gave 4 stars for location because it was slightly inconvenient to travel to and from Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park from the home. Other than that, Nicole and Andrew’s Misty Mountain Retreat is a wonderful, pet friendly escape from reality. Thank you for hosting us!

Great time on the quiet side of Acadia NP

A very nice place in a rural, country setting, yet near many activities and restaurants. We enjoyed exploring Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island from Misty Mountain Retreat. Everything was as advertised, clean and comfortable accommodations. Although our stay collided with Tropical Storm Lee, the hosts kept tabs on us, making sure that we were comfortable and that everything was okay - excellent hosts. We enjoyed Misty Mountain Retreat and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Perfect Acadia landing spot!

This cottage was a dream, and I can’t add much to what others have said—it looks like the pictures, exceeds expectations, is so well designed. My personal addition is that I have a Michigan Dutch mother and grandmother—iykyk!—and I think even they would pronounce this place spotless! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Cozy and Peaceful Retreat

This was the perfect place to stay with my wife! It was very close to Acadia and only a 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor. The Misty Mountain Retreat was very clean and quiet. Nicole had the perfect guide book for us to use for all of our outdoor adventures. Hiking is just around the corner and Seal Cove Beach is minutes down the road. We also loved driving to Gott’s for take out dinner and pizza. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway that is near all the sights- stay at this gem!

Cute & Simply

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage for our time visiting Acadia NP. it was away from the hustle and bustle of the Bar Harbor tourism but still an acceptable distance to all destination points and trailheads we wished to explore. Even with the house on the property being in close proximity to the cottage and the shared driveway, we still felt secluded and had the privacy desired. All the necessities needed included and with fresh decor. A cute and simple place for a great stay.

Nice cottage

Nice little cottage on the quiet side with all the basics. Outdoor space was nice to let our dogs roam a bit as there's not much of a shoulder on the busy road the house was located for taking them on a walk in the morning or at the end of the day. Lofted bed space is quite high so make sure those sleeping up there are okay with ladders, however the pullout sofa in the living area was quite comfortable as well

Great Little Cottage!

This property has everything you need? Especially if you’re a couple. Can easily sleep 4 adults, but it would be tight. The owners were very responsive and have thought of everything. Even a milk frother for your coffee! Beds were comfortable. The ladder to the loft is very steep, but that’s what you get with a Loft! Place is perfect for crashing after a long day of hiking. Located near some cool parts of MDI too, that are much less busy than Bar Harbor

Great hosts, great house, great outdoors!

We stayed for a long weekend and used Andrew & Nicole's property as a basecamp to return to after hiking as much of Acadia as we could fit into each day. They were respectful of our privacy but also super cool to talk to when we ran into one another. The house itself is minimal but functional and really shows how much care and attention was put into bringing it all together. Be aware the bed is lofted, so if you have difficulty with a ladder you may end up sleeping on the pull-out couch. I promise you won't regret staying here!
