Simply Beautiful

Our family gathered here to celebrate my retirement and it was the perfect place for us. The cottage is lovely, inside and out, and the location is perfect - close enough to all the sites and far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. We spent lots of time on the beach in front of the house and just down the road at Lamoine beach. The house has just about everything you need…I do recommend bringing some paper plates since no one wants to do dishes! We loved sitting on the porch in the mornings to watch the wildlife (deer, raccoons, squirrels) and to watch the lobster boats coming and going. You’ll appreciate the tide clock in the house so you’ll know when to visit the beaches to look for shells, rocks and sea glass. Jenny was a wonderful host and incredibly responsive when we had one challenge during our stay. Her quick action saved the day! (Our thanks to Joe and Ami, too!) We were so sad to leave and hope to return some day soon!

My biggest issue with writing a review on this property will be trying to condense it. There are so many amazing things, it’s hard to know where to even start.Jenny is the most gracious host and is amazing at keeping in contact. She has thought through every possible need an amenity that a renter could want or need. Sometimes when you look at a picture on these listings, you wonder if it’s too good to be true. Let me assure you that as amazing as these pictures are they don’t even come close to the true beauty of the property. The location, views, and accommodations are simply perfect. I appreciate organization. Jenny’s digital guestbook and her amazing communication left no questions to me as to what needed to be done and where I should go. Her referrals for places to visit are spot on.I truly cannot imagine anything that could have been different to make our visit any better other than just being able to stay longer.Do not hesitate- book Cornerstone Cottage. If we are ever back in the area, it will be my first choice every time.

Perfect spring get-away

The cottage was just what we’d hoped for and more. Beautiful accommodations and you cannot beat the view and huge yard. We loved the fire pit for smores, walking down to look at rocks along the waters edge, and looking out at the ocean during meals from the dining room table. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend it!

Perfect Stay on the quieter side of Bar Harbor

Our stay at this house was absolute perfection--away from the bustle of the touristy Bar Harbor but close enough to enjoy all the restaurants and activities in Acadia-- enjoyed the sunrise on the water daily from our own backyard. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything you would need: comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of outdoor seating, fire pit, yard games... they thought of everything! Host Jenny very accommodating and checked in to make sure all was ok-- we are already planning our return next year. Loved it.

Family’s First Trip to Maine

Our family loved our first vacation to Maine so much that we are planning our visit to come again next year. The cottage was even more beautiful than I imagined with comfortable beds, beautiful views and the perfect location to visit Acadia. Our children are in their 20’s and loved Jenny’s recommendations in the digital guidebook for hikes in the park, sailing, restaurants and also enjoyed bonfires at the cottage, kayaking, games at night and big breakfasts in the kitchen each morning. Jenny is the best host and has put so much love into this cottage to make it special for guests. This was a gem of a find!

Peace and serenity surround you

The Cottage was by far the BEST vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. Impeccably clean for starters. The home is very well equipped, and the location is superb. We are a family of 4 (2adult children) and we all had plenty of space to sit around together, or run solo if we wanted. The home is so lovely inside; cozy with a spectacular view. All the little details in the decor were a lovely and homey touch. The property is well maintained and the walk down the lawn to the water was my favorite thing to do to start each morning. I really can’t say enough great things. If you’re looking for the perfect home just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, look no further. You’ll find paradise at Cornerstone Cottage.

Family vacation just before the official season

We spent three lovely, relaxing days at the cornerstone cottage in late April. This home is bright and beautiful, gorgeous views of the bay from the living room couches. We spent the afternoons in Acadia, and although many of the shops and restaurants were closed until May, there were zero crowds in the park and we had wonderful hikes in the park under cool crisp big blue skies.
