Perfect central location
We had theee days to visit Acadia National Park. This place is right in the middle of the park. Clean, comfortable, good knives and adequate cutting boards - a true test of a good place to stay!

Great Location & Property
We really enjoyed our stay at the Otter Cliffs cottage. It was well laid out, plenty of room, clean, and had all the provisions we needed. It is located in Acadia National Park, so we were able to hike right into the park, or it was just a very quick drive to it, as well. Also, a short drive to Bar Harbor. We lost power due to a wind storm that came through the area while we were there. Amanda was very responsive and compassionate. She brought water and other provisions we might need right away, but the power came back later in the day. All around would definitely recommend a stay here if you're in the area.

Perfect cottage in a choice location
The cottage was clean, very nice and well stocked. Perfect for my wife and I. The location was great for close proximity to Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor, and NorthEast Harbor as well as Acadia and many hikes We took a few hikes directly from the path by the house as well. So many hikes and so little time. Communication with the owner was great. Highly recommend!!

Great stay in Acadia
We loved our stay in this home. The location was great. As others have mentioned, it was super accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but tucked away on a quiet street. We love using the fire pit in the evening. The layout of the house was great for two adults and two young children - and very accurately represented in the listing. We would absolutely stay here again!

Delightful 3rd stay at Otter Cliff Cottage!
This was our third year staying at Otter Cliff Cottage, and we couldn't be happier with the accommodations. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient, and Amanda is a wonderful host. She continues to make some minor upgrades to the already well-appointed cottage, and she is always quick to respond to questions or problems. We'll plan to return next summer as well!

Wonderful!
This is our second year spending a week at Otter Cliff Cottage, and we had another fantastic experience! The cottage was equipped with many cooking supplies, pantry items, a washer and dryer, and comfortable beds! You can’t beat the location- close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Amanda was very communicative and super easy to work with. We’d love to stay again!

Surrounded by Acadia National Park
The Otter Creek cottage is a great spot for a low-key stay with great access to Acadia National Park. The cottage itself is in a small residential village that is virtually surrounded by Acadia National Park. You're within walking distance of several hiking paths and you can reach the carriage roads for biking or hiking within minutes by car or by using the Island Explorer shuttle. The town of Bar Harbor itself is very crowded in July but you can get there easily if you want to shop or dine out. The cottage was ultra-clean when we arrived and very well equipped. We were there during a warm and humid spell for Maine and appreciated the air conditioning.in every room. The owner was easy to contact but we had no issues at all during our stay. There's a sister cottage on the same lot so a larger group could stay together if both were rented. Definitely a 5!

Cottage did not disappoint
My wife, son and dog Maya recently rented Otter Creek Cottage. We found the Cottage to be clean, neat and organized. The location was perfect to get to Northeast Harbor, Bar Harbor and the Acadia Park. The property manager Amanda was very pleasant to work with, she returned communications very quickly and provided some nice suggestions. We are already discussing renting the Cottage again next year.

Peaceful Cabin
We loved our stay at Otter Cliffs cabin. The description and pictures on the listing are accurate. It is very comfortable and a nice place to rest and relax after busy days. When we arrived, we found many thoughtful touches including fresh flowers. The cabin was clean, well organized and well stocked. There is ample closet and drawer space in each bedroom and the bathroom. The cabin is a short drive from Bar Harbor and many sights within the park. The location in a quiet, peaceful area away from the crowds was perfect for us. Communication with the host was excellent.

Comfortable, Convenient, Clean
Immaculately clean, comfortable beds and conveniently located for those who don't want to be in the busy hub of Bar Harbor at night but want the close proximity to everything. Our family enjoyed the trails during the day, Bar Habor and for dinner (Blaze was great when you've reached your seafood limit), and the quiet atmosphere of the VRBO at night while roasting s'mores over the fire. Would definitely recommend.

Great trip to Acadia!
This rental exceeded our expectations. Amanda was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The proximity to the park and comforts of home like the ac grill and fire pit made our stay that much better. We will be staying again the next time we come to visit the park!

Quiet and close to main trails!
This little house is perfect for a getaway to Acadia. We stayed in late October. If you are looking to get away from the crowds of Bar Harbor, this is it. Surprisingly, it’s not a long drive from town, but it’s so quiet. We did two long full day hikes directly from the house. No need to drive! Check all trails for a trail leading directly from town to the quarry trail to Gorham Peak or the Ocean Trail. We found the short cut only on our way back. Super convenient for home cooked meals, laundry (nice!), fires in the pit, and tv for tired nights. Definitely consider this house for quiet, convenience, and comfort.

Otter Creek Cottage
Our 3 week stay in Otter Creek Cottage was truly amazing. A home away from home. The house is cozy and comfortable, away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Yet, very close to everything on Mt Desert Island. The kitchen is fully equipped and the beds are very comfortable. A short hiking trail at the end of the street leads you Otter Cove and Acadia National Park. We would definitely love to come and spend some more time at this home.

Charming Cottage
The Otter Cliff Cottage was charming, neatly kept and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The yard was private, well-maintained and a nice spot to enjoy lunches and dinners in. What we loved most is that it was just a short drive to everything, Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor, Acadia National Park Carriage Roads, and the shoreline. The property manager was easy to work with and provided quick responses to all our inquiries.

We found the cottage true to its photos and description. The location is between Seal and Bar Harbor, which worked well for us. The fire pit and gas grill weee both nice perks we enjoyed. Owner is responsive and check in/ out as well as recommendations before our trip were great. The little store at the end of the street was also so lovely and we visited multiple times.

Great place to stay on Mount Desert Island
We had a wonderful time at Otter Cliff Cottage. It's a nice quiet neighborhood only 15 minutes from Bar Harbor, even closer to Seal Harbor. The cottage was well kept and equipped. Amanda, the hostess, is very accommodating, and goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable. Our only regret was not staying two weeks instead of one. I would recommend this property and plan to book it again if we make it back to Mount Desert Island / Acadia National Park.
