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.

Another great Acadia stay at Driftwood Cottage

We returned to driftwood cottage after falling in love with the property two years ago, and this time we had one more child and one more dog than our last visit! Once again, this incredible property did not disappoint. Our kids loved the bunk beds, the swing set, and the children’s books, and my wife and I appreciated the laundry machines, the spacious deck, and the quiet setting. Our hosts were, as always, prompt and helpful when we needed assistance. They even shared some clutch suggestions for entertaining our family on a rainy day. We can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely Perfect!

So much more than I expected. This is a beautiful private quiet lot with deer visiting (or I guess we were the visitors). The lighthouse is a 10 minute walk to the cliffs with breathtaking views and the faint sounds of the bells in the background. We sat outside very early in the morning with coffee and I haven’t seen so many stars since I was a child. The house is immaculate and well appointed with everything necessary for your stay. We loved our stay!

Conveniently Located First Class Accommodations

We were very pleased with our stay. My husband and I and two Shelties had more than enough room to spread out in this lovely home. Everything was pristine and top notch. Conveniently located for hiking in Seawall area and very close to Bass Harbor Light. We loved the food nearby at Charlotte’s Lobster pound near Seawall. We hope to come back with more family members next time. We can imagine this house would perfect for a visit with.grandchildren.

Fantastic Stay - Book this house!

We were lucky enough to spend 5 wonderful nights here as part of an east coast road trip from Wisconsin. As someone who travels often with our dogs, we rely heavily on rental platforms like this. We also host. When I say this property was one of my favorites out of hundreds, take that to heart. It was so clean, organized, stocked and comfortable. They thought of every detail - down to a very exciting box of dog toys mine loved. Comfy towels, bedding, blankets etc. This house has everything you need. Wonderful, quiet yard. Safe for pups and kids- little traffic as its a dead end gravel road. Quick walk to the lighthouse and easy drives to Acadia, Bar Harbour, Schoodic. Host was helpful, kind and didn't leave a laundry list of instructions which was refreshing. It was simply comfortable. Thank you!!

The Driftwood at Bass Harbor

The Driftwood Cottage was stocked well with almost everything that you would need for a comfortable getaway. We just stayed for one night, and enjoyed the quiet side of Acadia! The description for the property could use some updating though. It said that you could take a short trail through the woods to the Bass Harbor lighthouse. This is no longer allowed through the national park property across the street from the cottage.

Amazing Stay!

We had the best time exploring Acadia and being able to stay at this amazing home! It literally had everything you could possibly need. It was so clean, comfortable and peaceful. Being greeted every morning by the cute little deer was an extra bonus. It was great being walking distance to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and a 4 minute drive to the Wonderland Trail. And close enough to end most evenings in Southwest Harbor. Looking forward to returning in the future!

A serene base to explore Acadia National Park & MDI

Not only was the property as listed and pictured, but we found it extremely well-appointed which was so convenient and appreciated. It was clean and an excellent layout for our family - and the kids really enjoyed the playset outside! The biggest draw of this property is how calm and serene the location is. It's an oasis from the very crowded part of the island, but also very close to very interesting attractions like the Ship Harbor trail and great food spots. We enjoyed the mornings and nights on the deck, looking at the deers that always visit and listening to the sounds from the sea.
