Stayed at alot of VRBOs. When even the outdoor gas grill is clean, as it was, it says something about a property. All the little details were thought of. Comfortable bed. Nice deck. Everything pretty much as represented. Would stay again.

Echoes of SW Harbor

Both the private location and setting of the cottage was perfect for a quiet getaway.Vicki provided all the essential amenities (and then some) and was resident on-site throughout our stay.Located within a short-walk to: breakfast/ lunch cafes, drug store, hardware store, and dining/ bar venues........also, a short-drive to groceries and [of course] Acadia National Park destinations.

Clean, cozy, quiet, close to town

Great place to stay in Southwest Harbor and close to Acadia National Park. Wooded enough to be quiet and secluded enough from other cabins and to hear birds and see the occasional deer. I'd definitely stay there again; highly recommended.

Perfect fall weekend

Location was perfect, it felt so private but was super close to downtown. Very cute cabin, with plenty of space. Access to Acadia was quick too, as well as to food and gas stations. 10/10 would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Acadia Woods Retreat

Listing perfectly described this amazing getaway cottage. Felt like we were in the middle of the woods, but we were actually just a five minute walk from all of the restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor. We liked it so much that we booked a week at one owner's other cottages next door for next summer!

Woodland Cottage stay

This is a very special place. It is exactly as described and had everything we need for a comfortable stay. The deck is a great space for relaxing after hikes and checking out some wildlife. A short walk to town but feels very private and it’s quiet. Vicki is a lovely host.

Peaceful retreat

The cabin is on the " quiet side" of the island which we loved. It was clean and well maintained. We loved sitting on the deck and just staring at the trees. We were here a bit before peak season (again a plus for us to get away) so some of the businesses were just opening back up for the season. There is a steep driveway with a few bumps that our SUV handled fine , but we were grateful we didn't have our low clearance vehicle. Thanks Vickie! If we ever are back in the area, we would definitely book this again!
