This was a great place to stay in Acadia. We had five grown people in our group and we fit completely comfortably in the house. Everything was clean and well stocked; we did not want for anything. The grounds are so well maintained and great fun to hang out in. With a cheerful fire and some cold drinks, hanging out on the patio apres-hike is a perfect summer vacation activity. It's close to the Travelling Lobster and Island Takeout as well. The host is perfectly communicative and had a wonderful welcome package waiting for us. Stay here if you can!!

Beautiful vacation home. Had an extremely well stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor deck. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay. It was an easy spot to explore Mount Desert Island from. I would highly recommend this rental. Jean had everything set up for us and was easy to communicate with.

Lovely cottage on MDI

We had a wonderful stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was spacious, and it had air conditioning! We appreciated that it was quiet and secluded off the road in a beautiful wooded area. The location was great for exploring the island - easy to get to Bar Harbor, to hiking in Acadia and to the "quiet side" of the island. A bonus is that it is minutes away from our favorite lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster.

Moss Mountain Cottage Gem

We were so lucky to have chosen this cottage for our week long stay in Maine. It's very clean, quiet and we felt very safe staying here during times of COVID. The owners were very thoughtful to provide such a well stocked home for their guests. The king bed was very comfortable and there were nice towels for the bath. Jean provided great communication during our stay. We highly recommend Moss Mountain Cottage for your Maine vacation.

Comfort like home in private setting.

The beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with cookware and pantry items which makes it easy to cook and eat meals at home, which was our preference during Covid. Backyard is quiet with we enjoyed making a fire and watching the stars. It seems like everything on MDI is an easy drive from Moss Mountain Cottage! We explored hiking trails and beaches during the day.

Wonderful cottage

Moss Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, well-appointed, organized and very private. The outside deck and garden/patio were lovely and we enjoyed watching the local wildlife - like the snowshoe rabbit munching on Jean's garden. The location was very convenient and encouraged us to explore the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island. Jean was a great host and made us feel so welcome! I would encourage anyone to stay at Moss Cottage.

Perfect location just off the beaten path but close enough to Bar Harbor for shopping or restaurants

Jean was so easy to work with and her personal touch to the cottage was such a warm and genuine plus. We loved the cottage, it had everything that we needed and the cleanliness was over the top. We all came down with the flu and took one full day to rest and it was so comfy that we felt at home. We explored the island for 4 full days and looked forward at the end of the day to return to moss mountain cottage. Thank you Jean!!

Moss Mountain Cottage - home away from home!

We spent a wonderful week at Moss Mountain Cottage. Jean is a perfect host, the house has everything you could need and many things you never even would have thought about having. It was an ideal location for our adventures in and around Mount Desert Island - Arcadia and Bar Harbor are just minutes away. It's an hour drive from Bangor airport, easy to find yet feels private and secluded. We spent more time in the house than on other vacations because it was so comfortable and homey. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area!

Spacious, secluded property

Moss Mountain Cottage was perfect for my husband, myself and our two teenage children - who were happy to each have their own bedroom. The owner has stocked the cottage with all the comforts of home. The cottage was large enough for each of us to have our own space, yet gather together if we wanted. We enjoyed the seclusion of the location. It is set away from the road and surrounded by a copse of birch and evergreens.

Convenient to Acadia, quiet, and oh-so-clean

This was a magnificent VRBO. My kids remarked when we finished out trip that, "I think this was the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed in!" It was the perfect size for our family of 4 + in-laws. The kitchen was well-equipped and had all the basic staples we needed for our week. The beds were comfy and the rooms were large. We especially enjoyed the patio and secluded setting to relax after our days hiking in Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor is also close. Make sure you stop by the Travelin' Lobster for lunch if you are at the cabin during the day! It's very close, very delicious, economically priced, and very popular.
