We enjoyed our time at this vacation rental. It was very restful. Beautiful view of a wilderness area in the back of the property with trails. Enough wooded space around the place to not see your neighbors. Close enough to all the Acadia national forest trails and sights that you were not driving a lot. I would stay again if we came back.
We stayed while visiting Acadia. It was great to get away from the busyness of the park and Bar Harbor each day. We saw deer and Turkeys each day. We would definitely stay here again.
We spent 6 peaceful days and nights at this well kept cottage. I would book again if traveling to Acadia.
Keep an eye out for the deer in the morning and evening and hawks as well.
Lovely.
This property was a great location for our vacation to Mount Desert Island and Acadia NP. It was a quiet location, with good views and lots of wildlife right outside. We had an infant under 1, and the property had toys and a gate for the stairs that we used. I would recommend this property to others.
Could not have been better for us. Quiet location on the quiet part of the island, but within 30 minutes of most any point in Acadia. For an amateur astronomer, it was as I had hoped, with a non-light polluted spot to gaze mere steps from the back door. Property was clean and comfortable, and the owner was available and gracious.
We had a great stay on the quieter side of the island. The property was secluded with a fabulous view of the meadow. We watched deer every morning and a turkey family roosted in the tree outside every night. Plenty of space for four adults to space out and everything was immaculately clean, comfortable, bright (once we figured out the dimmer switches) and airy.
This was the final stop in our New England tour. And what a way to end it! The home is charming, inviting, clean, and well equipped. The location is wonderful! The deer were out behind the house each day. The blueberries were just starting to ripen. It was a 20-25 min drive into bar harbor and we were thankful to be in a quieter area like southwest harbor. I would recommend this home to anyone traveling to MDI
This property was so comfortable and charming. We had great experience staying here. The location is so beautiful, relaxing on the deck is a vacation in and of itself! The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean and updated. The kitchen has most everything you would need. It’s super easy to get to all the local sites but tucked away in a quiet spot. The village of Southwest harbor is only a 5 minute drive and has lovely little strip for dining and shopping. There is also a swimming beach nearby at Echo lake that wasn’t even that crowded on our hottest day there. You could really relax there. I would stay here again, for sure!
This was our second Acadia trip and we absolutely loved the quiet side of the island! The cottage was quaint and secluded. It was cozy and the perfect spot to return for a rest after a full day exploring!
We had a wonderful family gathering at Blueberry Field Cottage. From the ease of finding the cottage to the check-in process, to the views and the comfort of the cottage, everything was great. We would definitely come back again. Thank you! The Blairs from NM
cottage was as advertised, although upon our arrival, due to a miscommunication between host and housekeeping, cottage was not cleaned, beds not made since previous tenants. However, once error was discovered, mistake was corrected in a very timely manner . We loved remote location and natural landscape on backside of property. Would definitely stay here again.
This was our second time staying at the house. It is a perfect location to be able to access Acadia and then come back to a quieter location. House is clean, spacious, includes everything you need and the views are great.
We enjoyed our stay. Great location for hiking. We saw deer in the front yard every morning. And there is a cute coffee shop about 5 minutes away. If you stay here, make sure to follow the host’s directions to the property. The map app on my phone tried to take us to a neighboring property. My only complaint was the upstairs tub did not drain well. Otherwise we had a great time.
Comfy bedrooms, nice floor plan, peaceful location with easy access to lots of hiking. It just needs a few more cookware and dishware items. We hope to return soon!
Property worked well for our Acadian vacation. We thought the location outside of Southwest Harbor was great. Nice to be on the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island but have access to everything! Thanks for allowing us to stay in your property!
