Very quiet and comfortable - nice place to unwind after a busy day at Acadia! Only issue was that it was very dark (no outdoor light) when we checked in and the stairs to walk up to front door had no railing (which was a little tricky for my wife and her bad knee).

By far the best VRBO I have experienced. Amenities are above and beyond what one would expect. For our girls trip we looked for a unique place that would allow us to experience the island. We found the ideal peaceful place with plenty of room for our stay. The owners thought of everything you just might happen to need to make your stay the best it can be.

We had an excellent stay at Driftwood Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and had all of the things we needed. It is located on a quiet road and we really enjoyed coming back to the peace of the cottage every day after being with the throngs of other visitors to Acadia. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This was the perfect, private home for our weekend getaway to Southwest Harbor! The front yard is huge and our kids loved the swing set out front. The fire pit was so nice to hang around too. The home is within walking distance to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and a quick 5-10 minute drive into town. There’s so much to do and see in the area, I just wish we had more time to spend there!

We had such a nice week at the cottage! Loved the location on the quiet side of the island, especially being able to walk down to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse to watch the sun set. Our boys loved playing in the huge yard. And the cottage was clean & gave us plenty of space to hang out between our outings exploring Acadia.

This property exceeded my expectations. It was clean and spacious and the hosts provide so many thoughtful amenities, from a dog crate to art supplies for the kids. I can't say enough about how great this place is. The location is quiet but easy to get to and the home is decorated nicely and immaculately clean. What a find!

Lovely home in a great location

We loved our stay at the cottage! The home is very clean and well-stocked. The kids loved the yard and firepit, and we loved doing the three local trails. After being tired and dirty from hiking, it was great to wash up, do laundry, and enjoy the strong wifi and big tv. We appreciated the guest book and its recommendations as well.

Great house, great location

This was probably one of the best stocked vocational rentals we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is provided. The place was so clean and was the perfect size for a family of 4 with two teenage boys. The location was amazing. It is just a half mile walk from the house to the bass harbor lighthouse and 25 minutes from the Acadia visitors center and the start of the park loop road.
