The Nest Had Everything!

Such a comfortable house and beautiful location. I loved all of the special touches and every time I looked for something I found that item - and even more I didn’t know I needed. In addition, the rental company was fantastic. Very responsive and personable.

a little slice of paradise

Our stay was just perfect. A slice of heaven for location where the dogs could swim, we could enjoy relaxation on the deck with cocktails after hiking Acadia on the quiet side of the trails with all the detailed amenities of home. We loved being close to smaller, quainter harbors with great restaurants. The cottage left no detail unthought of. Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful spot to make family memories!

Great vacation spot

The property is absolutely beautiful. The cottage sits right on the inlet and in August you could watch the sun set over the inlet. The place was clean and well supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Nice place to be near Acadia and Bar Harbor, but away from the crazy crowds of Bar Harbor. Nice view over the cove and we enjoyed the firepit each night.

Woke up every morning to the beautiful sites and sounds surrounding the cottage. Perfect location for our tour of Acadia. One kind comment: consider tile in the bathroom instead of carpet.
