perfect getaway
It was perfect for our family to enjoy being out of the way, but close enough to walk the trails, go into the little towns, get food and supplies. We loved it and made great memories there. Thanks for sharing

Perfect and cozy
Everything was great! Very good location to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The one thing that was a small issue or an annoyance was that the dryer squeaked very loudly at times for several minutes and then would stop. Otherwise it was great.

Awesome Otter Creek!
We book this house whenever it's available for one of our trips to Acadia. A lovely, simple home, beautifully decorated and with a great walk down to otter cover. Amanda is a terrific host and we're always so happy when we can stay at her property!

Acadia Summer 2024 Trip
The cottage was well maintained had everything we needed for a family of 6 traveling to Acadia in August 2024. The location is very central to the park entrances and within 10 mins drive to Bar Harbor. We loved its accessibility. Amanda was prompt in addressing our queries and requests that came up during our stay. We would love to be back and stay here. Thanks for making our time at Acadia a memorable one with the stay at Otter Creek Cottage.

Adorable cottage
The cottage was in a prefect location, away from it all but not out of the way. The cottage was stocked with all important necessities, maps and welcome materials and was very comfortable for our small family getaway. Would recommend!

Otter creek cottage in June
We were there the first week of June 2024. The place was perfect for us with one bedroom having two beds. Not far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Amanda checked in on us and replied to all of our text or Vbro messages right away.

Ideal Acadia Home Base
Modern, tasteful decor, fully equipped, ultra clean in an ideal location. The cottage was located less than a 15 minute drive to the park entrance, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and all the best sites. We even hiked out the door to the top of Cadillac Mountain 8 miles round trip. There’s a general store with a kitchen a few doors down. Super quiet neighborhood off main road Rt. 3. The furniture and beds are all like new. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything to cook any meal. Manager was super friendly and helpful. Excellent lighting, privacy and also warm and cozy on cold nights. Washer and dryer were great but no dishwasher. Used the gas grill twice to cook steak and lamb chops. Would highly recommend for a couple or a small family. My wife appreciated the vases of fresh cut flowers

Early Thanksgiving
We loved our stay at Otter Creek as we celebrated a very early Thanksgiving with two of our kids who can’t be with us in November. The place was immaculate and the kitchen so perfectly laid out did cooking a big meal. While I cooked, my family was able to walk to the Cadillac Mtn south trailhead and hike up to the top . Weather was perfect , and we also hiked into Hadlock Falls as a family and the falls were spectacular . Beds were comfy, bathroom sparkling. All in all a great visit!

Perfect location
Otter Cove is the perfect location. Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Seal Harbor. The house was clean and had everything we could need for our stay. We loved the trails off the dead end road, the fire pit, and the washer/dryer. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely stay at Otter Cove.

Great Property
This place was perfect for our family (2 daughters-6 and 8). The amenities there were great and there was more than enough room for all of us to stretch out and relax after a day on the trails. It is centrally located to everything in and out of the Park itself (Bar Harbor, Thuya Gardens, etc.). You can even access a feeder trail at the end of the street which takes you to Quarry Path. From there you can get to a multitude of trails. So you can hit the trails from the cottage without even having to get in your car. We like to try new destinations every year, but if we ever make it back to Acadia, we'll be staying here.

Lovely place away from the hustle and bustle
We had an absolutely wonderful time in Maine. This place was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen is outfitted for anyone who wants to cook there which we did. It’s close to the National park and to Bar Harbor but not a crazy busy area. I highly recommend this place for your home away from home on vacation
