Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the cottage. Perfect location for Acadia and Bar Harbor. Loved the water view and big yard. It’s not super fancy, but it’s what we were looking for and expected. It still provided everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings.

Great vacation spot

The property is absolutely beautiful. The cottage sits right on the inlet and in August you could watch the sun set over the inlet. The place was clean and well supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Secluded property with great view

Property was very clean, amazing views and lots of wildlife to watch. Property manager was very communicative and property was well stocked. A little further out from bar harbor and Acadia that we normally stay but view was well worth it.

Cute cottage near Acadia

Woke up every morning to the beautiful sites and sounds surrounding the cottage. Perfect location for our tour of Acadia. One kind comment: consider tile in the bathroom instead of carpet.

Great Getaway

Fantastic spot. SUPER clean cottage. It’s not fancy but it’s got everything you need and management was very attentive. We brought flip flops for the bathroom (carpet) and I wish the double bed was a little bigger, but otherwise great home. Very quiet and private. Perfect for stargazing.

typical Maine cottage

This Maine cottage has everything you need for a quiet stay on the Southwest Harbor side of Acadia National park - only 15 minutes away. Kitchen is well equipped. Cove that it is on is quiet. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect place for our first visit to Maine!

Noonie's Nest was exactly what we were looking for and expected: - Location on the quiet side of the island, but easy drive to everything - Comfortable cottage and quiet to relax after hiking - Great view of water and birds - Great amenities, including reading lamps and USB outlets (on lamps in bedrooms). Will recommend to others! Thank you.

Quintessential Maine Cottage

This perfect cottage lays on a quiet cove/ pond in a peaceful section of the busy Mount Desert. Mornings and evenings we sat out on the deck with our dogs and watched the ducks and gulls and even a Bald Eagle. I would rebook in a heartbeat- this is Maine with all the character and personality and peaceful surroundings.that we love so much. Also the house was spotless and had everything we needed to cook delicious dinners.

Peaceful

The views are incredible. The owners so friendly. The home itself needs some updating and a way to seal off the basement. It was, however, very clean. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

We didn't want to leave!

If there is a more perfect setting, I don’t know what it is. Although it rained during most of our stay, we did get out to see some sights. It was always good to come "home" to the beautiful view, fascinating birds, and serene location. The house was well equipped, and very comfortable. It was convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor I highly recommend!

Beautiful peaceful location

Wonderful stay-beautiful views! Very clean, easy check-in. Adorable place. Kitchen was well-equipped. Nice outdoor space with deck, fire pit, and cornhole bean bag game. Lots of books on Acadia to read, which was great since I didn’t complete my planning! Location was convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I posted a few pictures of the water from the back deck on social media-friends and family asked me where I was because it was so beautiful.

Loved the Location

Beautiful & private location on the edge of an inlet. Views of the water awesome from the large deck. Property had everything we needed. The drive to & from the park was easy & it was nice to be on the less crowded side of the island. Only negative comment was that the double bed is starting to get a bit soft, thought it didn't bother us much. Would definitely rent it gain.

Perfect return visit

The beauty of Mount Desert Islans goes without saying. The cottage itself is absolutely perfect. It is private, quiet, stocked with everything we need, and has the traditional coastal charm. The yard is awesome with the fire pit, space to play and for our dog to run, and well maintained. We enjoyed paddleboarding on the marsh, views of the moon, stars, and northern lights, and all of the wildlife as the tides changed. It was our second time staying, and I hope that we can continue the tradition. The house is cozy and feels like home, and is pretty much equidistant from all of the different areas of the island and sites in the National park. It is always a peace of Heaven when we stay.

It’s like spending a week with grandma!

What a wonderful experience! Very clean and a lot of nice little touches. On our first day we were enjoying the deck, it was sooo peaceful. Lots of birds and across the cove was a deer. Almost like they placed her there so we felt welcomed. It very picturesque. It was fun watching the tide and picking up clam shells, the ones that we didn’t have fun watching the seagulls break. We just really enjoyed it.
