2nd stay at Apple Cottage

This was our second stay here at the Apple Cottage. My husband and I returned this year with my mother. She was in awe of the view as much as we had been. We spent most of the time on the deck taking in the view and watching the deer if we weren’t out visiting the park. It was as lovely as the first time we were there.

Relaxing stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Apple cottage. The cottage was spacious for a family of four and very quiet. The location was superb, with beautiful coastal and natural surroundings. Watching from the porch the sunrise over the water was something. Would come back again if we have a chance.

Lovely Maine Vacation

Apple Cottage is a cozy, quiet, waterfront cottage that made a great home base for our visit to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and other nearby sights. The kids enjoyed hunting for sand dollars and sea glass during low tide on the rocky shore in front of the cottage. Anne is a great hostess and provided detailed information on hikes, things to do and places to eat. She was very attentive to questions both before our trip and when I had quick questions while we were there.

Great Location Convenient to Acadia

Apple cottage was the perfect place to stay for our visit to Acadia. Close enough to all things Acadia but in a quiet location. Our kids really enjoyed the beach in the back yard! We had several deer visit each day. Bar Harbor was an easy 30 minute drive away. Anne provided a great list of places to eat and places to hike! She even describes the hikes and rates their difficulty for kids. We based most of our activities on her recommendations.

The Apple Cottage was beautiful. It is oceanside and set on a property that is secluded and peaceful. Deer visited us morning and evening, adding to the relaxed feeling. It was on the quiet side of Acadia but close enough to all of the Park to make hiking and other activities accessible. We plan to return in the future.

Lovely quiet little slice of heaven

My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and making our first trip to Maine. This home was just what we were looking for, Close enough to various locations of Acadia National Park but tucked away from the crowds. The deck with the view of the water while observing the visiting deer was our favorite place to be after waking with our morning coffee or returning after hiking or visiting Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our time at Apple cottage and hope to return one day.

Perfect Quiet Side MDI for family of 4

Our host was very informative not only in preparation of our stay but also with the binder provided with information on hikes and food. The cottage was a perfect size for the 4 (2 adults, 14 year old and 11 year old kids) of us. I enjoyed my sunrise coffee on the deck along with the local deer. We loved checking out the beach at low tide while hunting for sand dollars and seaglass. Very easy checkout as well. Great location, will recommend to others.

Acadia Visit

Loved the quiet location with a view of the water. Property was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for visiting Acadia NP and a cozy retreat for those inevitable foggy, rainy days; so much nicer than a hotel room. Host responded immediately when we our access code didn't work.

Location is great on the quiet side of the island and numerous eateries are location fairly close by. The deck is a fabulous location for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the boats go by. Access to the beach is excellent and there is beauty in the simplicity of the layout of the cottage itself. We plan to return!

Wonderfully relaxing

We had another wonderful 2 weeks at “Apple” cottage on the coast of Maine. This was our second stay at this property in Southwest Harbor. The views of the water and boat traffic were terrific. The cottage was very comfortable and we had daily visits from the island deer. We also saw a large flock of wild turkeys—twice! We love the “quiet side” of the island and the location and comfort of the cottage.

A cottage with a porpoise

Nice cottage, perfect for our family of 4. Views were excellent from the deck. Porpoises, seals, lobster boats, sailboats, ferries, etc... We could sit there for hours. The shore was fun too. Very rocky, some tidepools. Scooped up a few sanddollars. Don't miss the tidepooling at Wonderland right down the road. Hosts shared great tips. A fun active week!

Beautiful Setting!

This cottage with water views was on the quiet side of Acadia, which we love! It is very conveniently located to some nice hikes, downtown Southwest Harbor and a small grocery store. The queen bed was comfortable and the unit has the basic necessities. Given that it has lovely water views the outside furniture and deck could use some updating and power washing. They were not comfortable to sit on for any length of time. We would recommend you bring your own chairs for more comfort and to be able to move down closer to the water. Overall, we were very happy with this place and would consider staying here again.
