Charming Cottage
This is a charming and cozy house. We loved looking at the view and the wildlife. It was an easy 35-40 min drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor and then back home to the quiet privacy at this spot.

The Perfect Maine Cottage
Spindle Cottage was everything we hoped it would be for our family vacation. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and what a view! This is clearly a cottage that is well loved and cared for. It feels like home the moment you step into it. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the tools you need to prepare a meal with. If you want to go out to eat, there are places nearby for that as well…and if you are looking for something in particular, just email Susan, as we did, and you are sure to get an immediate response with a great recommendation. Bar Harbor & Acadia National park were within an easy half hour drive. We literally had the park trails to ourselves, due to the timeframe of our visit. There is a notebook at the cottage filled with all the information you could possibly need for a fabulous vacation. Last but not least, the firepit in the evenings was the perfect ending after a full day of hiking Acadia. If we get a chance to return to Maine, Spindle Cottage is where we would stay!

Peaceful Seaside Cottage
The cottage sets on the sea and it is very quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting outside to watch the sunsets, tide and the birds. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, do laundry. It was very convenient to the grocery store and was only a 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor.

Beautiful home and location. Secluded but short drive to town and about 30 minutes to Acadia. Very clean and well stocked. A little steep to launch kayaks but possible. Enjoyed being able to kayak right from the house. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise.

Glorious view, super nice house
We were excited to stay in this house, but it surpassed all expectations. The listing photos really don’t do it justice! The house is lovely inside — large, modern windows on three sides facing the bay, a beautiful yard with picnic table and fire pit, great kitchen stocked with basic provisions, three comfy bedrooms with pretty views, full baths up and down stairs. It was definitely one of the nicest homes we’ve rented, and the setting is spectacular. The house is clean, fresh and comfortable. We had family staying in Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor, so there was a lot of driving (30 minutes each way), but it was fun to host everyone for dinner at ‘our place’ and watch the beautiful sunsets. We especially appreciated all of the thoughtful touches, like fire starter bricks and a full s’mores pantry for our use. Our favorite part of each day was sitting in the swivel chairs next to the front windows enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the herons and cormorants patrolling the shore. So relaxing!
