Peaceful Place

Nice quiet spot tucked away in the privacy of a wooded lot. The landscaping and fire pit add to the relaxing atmosphere. Owners were very responsive and left a wonderful welcome gift. Easy check-in / check-out. Short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Enjoyed our stay.

Acadia but coat list vacation

Beautiful vacation home. Had an extremely well stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor deck. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay. It was an easy spot to explore Mount Desert Island from. I would highly recommend this rental. Jean had everything set up for us and was easy to communicate with.

Nice stay

My adult family enjoyed our week-long stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable in a convenient, yet private location. Beautiful, thoroughly maintained backyard, with a deck and also a fire pit with chairs. Good communication. Jean responded quickly to messages and stopped by for yard maintenance

Convenient to Acadia, quiet, and oh-so-clean

This was a magnificent VRBO. My kids remarked when we finished out trip that, "I think this was the nicest VRBO we've ever stayed in!" It was the perfect size for our family of 4 + in-laws. The kitchen was well-equipped and had all the basic staples we needed for our week. The beds were comfy and the rooms were large. We especially enjoyed the patio and secluded setting to relax after our days hiking in Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor is also close. Make sure you stop by the Travelin' Lobster for lunch if you are at the cabin during the day! It's very close, very delicious, economically priced, and very popular.

This was a great place to stay in Acadia. We had five grown people in our group and we fit completely comfortably in the house. Everything was clean and well stocked; we did not want for anything. The grounds are so well maintained and great fun to hang out in. With a cheerful fire and some cold drinks, hanging out on the patio apres-hike is a perfect summer vacation activity. It's close to the Travelling Lobster and Island Takeout as well. The host is perfectly communicative and had a wonderful welcome package waiting for us. Stay here if you can!!

Great stay!

We had a great experience staying at Moss Mountain Cottage. Everything was very clean and organized and any questions that we had were outlined in a great binder that Jean provided along with brochures and ideas of things to do during our stay. House was super cozy and it made everything super convenient! Definitely felt like a home away from home!

A wonderful Fall vacation on MDI

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moss Mt. Cottage. The property was by far the cleanest and best equipped we’ve stayed at. Jean was the perfect host, answering our questions and making sure we were comfortable even during a power outage. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return!

Wonderful place that felt like Home

This is one of the most well equipped homes I’ve stayed in. Jean has thought of everything you could need. It’s a very comfortable place and feels more like home than a rental. Jean is great to work with. The location is very convenient. It’s close to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

The house feels a lot bigger than how it looks from website. It’s beautiful and well stocked and has everything we need. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. we really enjoyed our stay. The owner Jean is so kind, she goes out of the way to make sure the house is in the best condition and her guests are comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a safe, clean, friendly place to stay in Acadia.

Lovely cottage on MDI

We had a wonderful stay at Moss Mountain Cottage. The property was clean and exactly as described. The beds were comfortable, the cottage was spacious, and it had air conditioning! We appreciated that it was quiet and secluded off the road in a beautiful wooded area. The location was great for exploring the island - easy to get to Bar Harbor, to hiking in Acadia and to the "quiet side" of the island. A bonus is that it is minutes away from our favorite lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster.

Moss Mountain Cottage Gem

We were so lucky to have chosen this cottage for our week long stay in Maine. It's very clean, quiet and we felt very safe staying here during times of COVID. The owners were very thoughtful to provide such a well stocked home for their guests. The king bed was very comfortable and there were nice towels for the bath. Jean provided great communication during our stay. We highly recommend Moss Mountain Cottage for your Maine vacation.

Comfort like home in private setting.

The beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked with cookware and pantry items which makes it easy to cook and eat meals at home, which was our preference during Covid. Backyard is quiet with we enjoyed making a fire and watching the stars. It seems like everything on MDI is an easy drive from Moss Mountain Cottage! We explored hiking trails and beaches during the day.

Wonderful cottage

Moss Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way. It was clean, well-appointed, organized and very private. The outside deck and garden/patio were lovely and we enjoyed watching the local wildlife - like the snowshoe rabbit munching on Jean's garden. The location was very convenient and encouraged us to explore the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island. Jean was a great host and made us feel so welcome! I would encourage anyone to stay at Moss Cottage.
