What an incredible cottage! Immaculately clean (and I'm picky!), loaded with everything we needed in the kitchen, and so pleasantly surprised by the little things we did not have to go out and buy like dish soap, laundry detergent, sponges, paper towels, etc. This place was stocked up -- and not with the cheap stuff, everything was high quality. The little touches were appreciated - and everywhere. Even had a little glass container of local coffee grounds with a welcome note.
The beds were extremely comfy, shower was great, temperature control easy. There was plenty of room for the four of us to hang out, and the screened porch (with two comfy swivel chairs) was loved by all of us.
We did walk the path/road to the beach nearby and ... did not love it. The actual road down to the beach is STEEEEP and the walk back up was not fun :) Suggest taking a drive to that beach to check it out. We had just hiked Jordan Pond loop so maybe we just tired haha.
The drive to downtown Bar Harbor is about 12-15 mins, very easy.
We would love to rent this place again. 5 stars - for real, it's a gem.
