We had a great stay. The house was warm and comfortable. We felt very isolated, which is what we wanted. The drive to Acadia was about 30 min, which we didn't mind. The host was very helpful. It is definitely a nice way to spend a weekend if you live in the city.

This cabin combines rustic charm with luxurious comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean. Although we were warned about limits to the electricity, we never had a problem with that. It's an easy 40 minute drive from the cabin into Acadia National Park. Of course you could stay closer to the park; there are motels lining the roads next to the park. But, in August at least, the park is crowded, whereas this cabin is a peaceful oasis in the woods. It was great to relax here after a busy day in the park. We would love to stay here again!

Alisha was a very helpful and friendly host. Nice, quiet place to stay.

The cottage is one of the most delightful places in all the land! We were looking for a quiet place to escape the noise and political madness in DC and Alisha's home surpassed all of our hopes and expectations. We wanted someplace quiet, scenic, just a little rustic but at the same time close to water, parks, outdoor activities, groceries, and the various community services available in a proper town. Typically we aren't this lucky in fulfilling all of our travel wishlist items but not only did we check all the boxes, we managed the extra bonus of being able to do it off the grid with the incredibly cool solar installation AND the property was a total coup as a birder's paradise! (Favorite hobby - scored 8 different warblers in one day just watching the trees from the front porch!) We were so enamored with our stay that we literally forgot the day of the week. Alisha was a wonderful hostess, very communicative, available at any time day or night, but we wanted for nothing during the stay so generally just a warm friendly wave driving down the lane. Truly if you are seeking a wee bit of sunshine, birdsong, peace and quite, the cottage may just be the place you are dreaming of. Can't get back soon enough...

We had a great stay at Alisha's cottage! Very off the grid and peaceful - perfect if you want to be close enough to Bar Harbor/Acadia but far enough if you don't want to deal with the crowds the entire time. We also enjoyed exploring the Blue Hill area as well (hiking Blue Hill and going to the Farmer's Market) along with some of the other islands. It was great that the house utilized solar energy - got to enjoy the convenience of electricity and hot water while knowing we were making a low impact. Once you get oriented to the house and aware of how everything works, it's easy to forget you are doing anything different. The bed was super comfortable too! The road to the house can be a little rough at times, so be aware of that if you have a low riding vehicle, but other than that, it's a perfect place to find some peace and gather with your family and friends! Thanks, Alisha!

Lovely place to stay. Great for a relaxing vacation. Close to Ellsworth or Bar Harbor but far enough away to avoid crowds and traffic.

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. Clean, cozy, it was as advertised. We spent most of our time off at Acadia National Park, which was a manageable distance away, and we were always happy to return. Also, the stars at night here are absolutely beautiful, if you're willing to put up with the bugs swarming around you as you look up to the sky. A bit isolated, but it was nice to feel that we were falling asleep in the middle of the wilderness. We would definitely go back.

What an excellent rental. Secluded, private and you feel good that you're treading lightly on the environment. The house is as advertised so read the description. The access road would be rough on a small car. :-) Alisha was a gracious and responsive host. Just a message away. The location was ideal if you want to be away from the traffic and noise but still just a short trip to Acadia for hiking and beach days. One tip: remember the mosquito repellent as this is in the woods after all. Great experience. I look forward to coming back again.

Henrietta's cabin was clean, well stocked, and downright adorable. The location was great, 40 minutes from Acadia National Park, and the cabin itself was cozy. Don't let the outside shower intimidate you, it is not as awkward as it sounds! Henrietta was the perfect host! She was there when we arrived to answer and questions we had and gave us great info on Acadia and places to eat in Blue Hill. She was so kind and welcoming, she really made our trip special, and we can't wait to make it back up to Maine. We would definitely stay here again for our next visit!

Henrietta did everything possible to make our stay comfortable. It's a rustic cottage off the beaten track. Really enjoyed

Our stay at Henrietta's cabin was perfect. The cabin is pleasantly rustic with a very inviting feel. The location is beautiful, quite, and plenty close enough for day trips to Acadia. Most everything you need is provided including cookware and coffee. Henrietta was super helpful getting us familiar with the area attractions and even provided maps. There are excellent restaurants in the area too if you like dining out. This cabin is the ultimate little hideaway. Thanks again Henrietta!

Henrietta and her property were both simply wonderful!!! The cabin is cozy and everything you need to enjoy a trip to coastal Maine. Henrietta herself was extremely friendly, helpful and an overall great host. She not only helped point me in the direction of great food but she also helped me start a fire in the wood stove on a chilly October night. A great overall experience!!

The perfect cabin for our long weekend exploring Acadia. Henrietta was a fantastic host! Highly recommend.

Henrietta is a super host. I was thwi5with

Rustic cabin, very nice. Wonderful hostess and she did everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Really is a hide-a-way in the woods, but still near Blue Hill village and shopping, restaurants, etc.

Henrietta was great about providing information on the area and had supplied us with a few necessaries for breakfast, which we really appreciated. We loved the cabin and Blue Hill and found it was very convenient to Deer Isle and Acadia.

This a cozy place to stay in within a secluded, peaceful setting in Maine. The shower is not for those of tall height, but the apartment is clean and quiet. It worked well for our stay of 2 nights.

Quiet and peaceful for a good night's rest! The small apartment is very private and safe. It has 2 rooms, a small kitchen/sitting area/table for 2, a bedroom with two very old/worn out chairs and a bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. As far as the bathroom goes, there are some things to know. First, I am 5'6" tall and I had to bend to get through the bathroom door as well as when taking a shower. A taller person would find this space difficult. Second, the water controls are backwards, but work fine. There is plenty of hot water, but the pressure was not consistent and there were air whistle sounds at times. There is also what appears to be a porch light fixture in the shower area and no shower curtain. The sink, with is very small, is located about 25 feet away from the bathroom and is right in front of the bed. The hosts were very nice and always answered our questions quickly. One final note, the home does not have WIFI available.

This cozy place is very clean and neat! I loooove their sheets!

Richard responded quickly when we had any questions and was very knowledgeable about the area. Loved the list on the coffee table of the restaurants in the area. Everything about this place was peaceful and comfortable. A piece of advice about the area; a good selection of restaurants, but during the week most close at 8pm so plan your evening meal in advance. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Nice place to stay in the area. Very quiet and clean.

We had a relaxing time staying here between busy, full days of hiking and swimming in Acadia. The apartment was peaceful, cozy, and clean. The setting is serene. The nighttime breeze made sleeping very comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the area.

Richard and Elaine were very nice! We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment was a pefect size.

Stayed here after a day at Acadia nearby. The hosts were very nice and had great communication. The place was perfect for us and was just as described. It was very private and even had a private entrance. Very clean and roomy and had everything that we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling in Acadia or the surrounding area.

Refurbished barn in a gorgeous setting. The place is easily big enough for four and if you don't mind the gaps in the windows and the general rustic feel (it is an old barn after all), it's a great spot for a tranquil Maine vacation. Close to the water (walking) and acadaia national park (driving). Alan is very nice and helpful and can recommend places to eat and explore the area, plus he organizes a jazz and classic concert series on the premise during summer, so you can even enjoy some culture with all that nature.

All was good.

Great location and great host! Wonderful home made breakfast. Very recommended!

We had a great time, and the house is in a great spot! Pond was gorgeous and weather was wonderful!

Great place to visit read book kayak , just rest

This is a great place. The cabin is charming, artistic, and cozy. I am from a hot climate and I was warm enough at night. Bed was very comfortable. The place was clean and everything worked. The walk to the cabin was a tad long over a pretty rustic path but Matt's dad helped me get my stuff in with a little vehicle. It was very quiet, surrounded by beautiful foliage, and the moon was waxing. Just about perfect. Thank you Matt and family for a lovely experience.

Lovely spot, with private path from the road to small pasture. Cabin felt even more spacious than photos and was a splendid fit for two adults and two dogs. Host was responsive and helpful - an all around great stay!

This spot was absolutely ideal. We truly had the best time and wound up staying at the cabin much more than we expected since the spot is so sweet. Perfect for yoga on the screened in porch or reading all day. The walk to the cabin is lovely. Matt was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We hope to be back very soon!

The cabin was great, exactly as advertised. I loved it so much I didn't want to leave.

I stayed at Nancy's cozy little cabin for 2 weeks and it was a wonderful place to come back in the evening after exploring beautiful Maine. The garden is very calm and I enjoyed the privacy in my little cabin. The sweet bathroom is in the main house, just across the garden. Nancy is a very interesting and interested person and she did everything to make my stay in bluehill unforgetably beautiful. Thank you, Nancy!

The Teeny Cabin was comfy, clean, affordable, and quiet; just what I was looking for on my trip to the Maine coast. Nancy was a welcoming host and so nice in every way. Her property is quite handy if you're interested in the nearby attractions such as Acadia National Park, the village of Blue Hill (go the to Co-op for breakfast!), the Lobster Shack, charter sail boats, and the gorgeous country roads that meander about. The next time I stay, I'll schedule it during a full moon so I can view the Moon Garden in it's full splendor.

Great experience feeling enmeshed in nature in such a lovely town. Nearby lobster shac was incredible! Love the serenity and quiet. The host Nancy was super helpful and responsive and made me feel so welcome. The cabin itself is very basic with a separate bathroom (hot water available). Surry is about 30 mins away from Acadia but a plesasant drive so no need to stay at bar harbor if you are visiting Acadia. Only downside is the lack of heating so you will need to layer up in the winter time at night.

This little cabin was definitely cozy! Perfect place to get away from my hectic working life. Very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Nancy was great and welcoming. Would definitely stay here if I'm ever in the area again!

Nancy's cabin was really charming and comfortable. The location was really great for all sorts of activities -- we went hiking around Acadia and kayaking near Deer Island. Nancy's recommendations for food and activities were really helpful. We had some problems with the air mattress that was there our first night, but after some tinkering we were able to inflate enough to be pretty comfortable. Nancy was really responsive and eager to help!

As decribed, a small and cozy cottage for 1 or 2 people. 45-minute drive from Bar Harbor. The view of the stars at night was very beautiful.

The cozy teeny cabin was exactly as described - and provided a quiet, much needed and appreciated retreat. The backyard provided a quiet space for breakfast, coffee and reading; I enjoyed the books I borrowed from Nancy's wide library on mindfulness meditation in the main house. Although Nancy was away during my stay, she provided a list of great suggestions on things to do in the area. Dinner at the Lobster Shack is not to be missed. The rustic feel of the cabin and the smell of the fresh wood interior have left pleasant memories for me. I hope to return next year.

The cabin was cozy, easy to find, and communication with Nancy was clear and easy. The town is lovely and rural and a nice escape from some of the more touristy areas nearby! Great hikes on the beach are walking distance down the road.

Shelby was a great host - the "bungalhigh" was beautiful, in an amazing setting! We had great fun taking out the kayaks in the bay and we cooked dinner every night. It was a really relaxing break that we would recommend to anybody!

This was a great place to relax with a great view of the water. The dogs also had a wonderful time running around in the yard and swimming in the water. The location was secluded but easy to get to a market or a gas station. The house was just as described.

The place was adorable and Shelby does a lot of work to ensure guests have a great time. We appreciated the suggestions on where to go and what to do. Most of our trip was spent around Acadia but there was also plenty to do nearby and right on the property!

Blue Hill is tiny but good central location. A perfect place to chill. The cottage was very nice and exactly what the pictures show. Close to other cottage, but we had quiet neighbors. Beautiful Maine harbor view from porch and living room. Had fun kayaking. Overall a great experience.

Pictures don't do Bungalhigh justice! A "rustic chic" cottage in a beautiful and serene setting. We enjoyed visiting Stonington and Acadia but loved coming back to charming Blue Hill. Lots of good dining options and lots of good outdoor activities. Shelby was a great host and we really appreciated her area recommendations. We loved dinner at Perry's, Barncastle & Farmhouse Inn; drinks at Deepwater Brewery; coffee at Bucklyn; lunch and groceries at the Coop and hikes at Carter Preserve, Curtis Cove and Blue Hill Mountain. We kayaked off the Bungalhigh property and loved sitting on the bench looking out over the cove. I could go on and on! There's so much to do in the area and Bungalhigh is a great home base. We hope to return!

The digital contact with Shelby and her mum Julie was fantastic. We did go to a play in the Town Hall of Blue Hill. It wasn't only fun to go, but the play and the actors were very good. The house is lovely as is its location. On a very hot day it must be great to have that much shadow from the trees but unfortunately it was rather chilly during our stay. Blue Hill is a nice little town with a supermarket. Nice to walk around a bit. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Shelby or Julie, but we got to know them a bit through the email and the fairy tale :-) Thanks for having us stay at your place and we would definitely recommend it!

We loved the view. It was very quiet, close to town. Just a great place.

This was the perfect place for my small family. It would have been great on its own, but the information on things to do and places to go before and after we arrived by Shelby made it even better

Such a wonderful alternative to staying in a motel. Lots of privacy in an immaculate apartment. The beds were comfortable and the amenities generous. Denise is a perfect host and made sure everything was just right. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We really had a great time here, the little to big details made all the difference...Fresh eggs, other essential & non essential treats, fresh tulips, which happen to be my favorites. Really useful advise on where to go, what to do with particular attention to running trails, as I'm in training for Boston marathon, where really appreciated! I loved the back patio & it was lovely sitting there a few mornings it was sunny! We loved Maine & this location was great to explore the surrounding areas of outstanding beauty!

Bruce's place was perfect for our weekend away. The house had everything we needed to cook our own meals and was a great place to unwind after a day of hiking. You can tell how much thought and care Bruce and Sally put into remodeling this house. It had all the old charm of the original house but with modern conveniences. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area.

it's as if an artist met an engineer, and this place were born from the union. Terrific and cozy hideaway. Private, fully outfitted-- clean and comfy. Modern convenience with rustic Maine sensibility. I could go on-- but seriously, it's a great place.

Great little home. Had everything you need and then some. Close to Acadia if desired but far enough to avoid some of the tourism

Bruce and Sally's little home made for an amazing vacation! It was a perfect size for two and had all of the necessities - and more! They also included a binder full of local spots to check out and were readily available when we had questions. It was a short drive to Acadia National Park. Great hosts and house!

Bruce and Sally were the perfect hosts. Their "little house" exceeded our expectations in every way. Bruce and Sally built this house themselves and did so with exceptional attention to detail. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, along with every other nook and cranny of the house was built to last while not compromising a fraction on the aesthetic. Functionality and beauty aside, Bruce and Sally did a tremendous job of of making sure that we were comfortable and informed. Bruce and Sally put together an entire binder loaded with info on the house, local restaurants and shops, and even local road construction and the best roads to take as detours. I would point any independent traveler or couple looking to visit the Ellsworth/Bar Harbor/Acadia area directly to this gem.

Such a beautiful home! Very clean, lots of windows, and a quiet neighborhood made our visit so enjoyable. Especially loved the heated floors in the bathroom! Would highly recommend this rental.

Bruce's place was great for our anniversary getaway to Acadia (easy accessible within half an hour). We loved all the small touches Bruce and Sally added to the apartment. It feels comfy, cozy and almost like visiting your friend's house. Bathroom has heated floor which is great and small outside patio is perfect for an early morning cup of coffee. The area is nice and quiet, perfect for resting after a day of hiking! Bruce was promt in communication and gave us a few tips before the visit. We've met him in person and highly recommend staying in this Airbnb.

Loved this place! It's beautiful and the location is perfect. It was so nice being able to walk to restaurants and it's in a wonderful part of town. I wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend this place.

Carol welcomed us when we arrived at Bad Beaver Farm and explained how things worked. Actually Rhoda and Charley, her sweet rescue dogs, met us first and I guess we met their approval! The cabin is pretty amazing - you could spend hours imagining the stories behind the photographs and other memorabilia on the walls. It's very small but smartly organized; there are lots of cozy corners to relax in - in the living room, at the inviting red kitchen table, and especially the side porch lined with rocking chairs. I couldn't keep my eyes off the architecture of the place and the way the light danced off the playfully mismatched carved newel posts in the stair railing from the loft. We enjoyed the quietness. We were fully expecting to try out the outdoor shower, but morning dawned a little rainy/chilly and I was getting a cold - so decided it was better to stay dry so I wouldn't get sick and ruin the rest of our trip! It would be a fun place to stay a while and explore the property, but ours was a quick visit - we had to be out early. If you're looking for a rustic experience with basic comforts and the essentials provided, Camp Kwitchabitchin is the place. Thanks for having us, Carol.

A truly unique and beautiful cabin, on an amazing piece of land. The camp was just as advertised and it even exceeded my expectations. Feels far away from everything, yet its right down the road from Acadia National Park. Just wish we were there longer to do some hiking. Thank you Carol for the perfect getaway!

Camp Kwitchabitchin was a perfect rustic getaway from our busy lives in the city. It is only 35-40 minutes away from Acadia National Park and is 5 minutes away from the peaceful downtown of Ellsworth. My dog LOVED it so much! He ran around Bad Beaver Farm with Carol's two dogs and got to experience life outside of the city for once. It brought tears to my eyes. The cabin itself is adorable, and you feel like you are really part of the beautiful wilderness. Carol was a great host and provided great recommendations for sights, hikes, and food. Bad Beaver Farm, Carol, and Tom have an incredible history that you can read about in her memoirs in the cabin. Our weekend here was pretty unforgettable. Remember to bring bug spray!

This was just what we needed! It was exactly what we expected and couldn't have been more perfect. The outdoor shower hit the spot after a long day in Acadia. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Make sure to read some of the Bad Beaver Tales!

This is a fantastic and truly unique place to stay! This charming, hand-built cabin is full of personality. The location is beautiful and peaceful... they really provide a tranquil get-a-way in an otherwise very touristy area of Maine. We loved it!

Absolutely loved it!!!! We will definitely remember this place! Thank you

Our stay at Camp Kwitchabitchin was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Maine's coastal summer economy. Truly rustic, Bad Beaver Farm refreshed our spirits and stoked our sense of adventure. We enjoyed exploring the artifacts inside the cabin as much as we enjoyed the beautiful scenery throughout the acreage. Carol is a natural storyteller; every single object on Bad Beaver Farm, (including magnets on the refrigerator and the shingles on the cabin) has a lovely history just waiting to be discovered. Carol and Tom were wonderful and accommodating hosts in every way: warm, welcoming, kind, informative, generous, and respectful. We can't wait to return.

This cabin was the perfect home away from home. It was cozy, relaxing, and welcoming. We spent our time split between exploring the land around us and the towns. The dogs were so sweet, Carol was so helpful and kind, the outside shower was refrefreshing. Come prepared to be close with your travel mates- we had so much fun!!

Best Airbnb ever. Hosts are thoughtful, kind, and always going the extra mile. Beautiful, epic scenery outside. Quiet, clean comfort inside. Snatch this up if you can. "Exceptional" is the best word to describe our stay.

This place was simply incredible. I've stayed in at least 12 airbnbs and this was by far the best. Pictures don't even do justice to how gorgeous the ocean is, which is just a 5 minute walk down the driveway. At low tide, you can walk across the ocean to this beautiful little island and maybe spot some deer. Poking around in the tide pools was a lot of fun. Mark and Barbara were the best hosts I've had, and you will probably meet Mark's parents, who are also so sweet - the attention to detail and quality of everything in the space really impressed me, as did they. The room is bright and airy and feels very clean. To be honest, my favorite parts of the stay were the times spent on the farm and by the ocean here. It's about 25-30 min ride to Bar Harbor (get biscuits with strawberry butter and breakfast at 2 cats - delicious) and about 20 to certain entrances of Acadia (which is also stunning). 5 minutes drive away is Trentons, which we had amazing lobster and steamers at. For us, it was perfect to escape the crowds and enjoy our own little piece of heaven. I plan on coming back in the fall! Couldn't recommend more highly. Thanks again guys!

Barbara and her family were super hosts in my book! They stayed up late waiting for us to get in even though they had to go to work the next day. They supplied us with plenty of snacks, and butter for my British friend, . They attended to our every need and were available at all times, and were very accommodating. The property is absolute stunning, it made us feel as if we were in a retreat. I hope to come back again soon.

Our time at the farm by the sea was spectacular. Great location just a stones throw from acadia and Bar Harbor. However our best days were spent lazing by the water watching the tide ebb and flow and exploring the tidal pools and island across the bay. Barbara and Mark (and their cadre of cows) were spectacular hosts with great recommendations for exploring the area. Can't wait to return next year and help set the pots!

This is what I originally had expected AirBnB hosts would be like...great people opening their available space to travelers looking for a personal and unique experience in a new area. For those of you that want to be near Acadia Park but want a place to get away from the masses, this is an excellent choice. Even if you don't visit the park this is a very relaxing place to stay as well. Barbara and Mark are very interesting folks that provided us an experience we will not forget. They are mostly a self-sufficient farm where they provide for themselves and their family and if this lifestyle interests you then you should check this place out. They have a great view of the water and islands in the bay between the mainland and Mount Desert. There's a bluff next to the water with seating and a hammock too. Just don't book this place when we return because we wouldn't stay anywhere else. Thanks Barbara and Mark!

It's a high standard, high quality studio. The hosts Barbara and Mark are very nice. The location is perfect for either going to Acadia National Park every day or just staying to enjoy the peaceful and pleasant sea water-front with beautiful view of Acadia.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent at the farm by the sea! The hosts were welcoming and gracious. The property is absolutely magnificent I'm already trying to plan when I can return! A must stay!

It is a wonderful peaceful place by the sea. Barbara and Mark are warm and generous hosts. the place is beautifully designed and very well equipped. It is a few minutes' drive from Desert Island, and it is a perfect basis for tours in the Island in the area. We highly recommend this place.

Meg is really good host. She provided everything we need. The apartment is really clean. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Meg's place. The apartment was lovely, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. It is located near charming towns, trails and parks. Meg was so responsive, happy to answer any questions and provided a wealth of information. She went above and beyond! We will plan our next vacation in Maine around the available of Meg's place. You will love it!

Meg's place was fantastic. I visited with my mother and sister for 4 nights in mid-August. It was everything we wanted – quiet and secluded, yet close to the local town to buy food, wine, and visit restaurants (we especially enjoyed Arborvine). The check-in process was simple and they even have a local garden with various herbs and vegetables provided you go during the right time of year. One of the friends of Meg brought us fresh cucumbers one day which were excellent! The location is close to the fair which occurs on Saturdays mainly in the spring and summertime which is great.

This apartment is very clean and very welcoming! I have great interactions with the hosts via airbnb communications. All the necessities I needed were there. Cute small apartment. A great place to grill and unwind after a day out and about.

The host, Meg is awesome. She responds to messages really quickly and made sure our stay there was a great experience.

My girlfriend (Nettie) and I were traveling to bar harbor for a July 4th getaway. We stumbled upon Miles and Megs barn apartment when looking for a stop off point on the way up, the location looked good and the pictures of the barn looked good enough... What we experienced when we arrived in blue hill shattered any/all expectations. The barn was beautiful and the interior was immaculate. You could tell by the aromas of fresh linens and strong wood that they had put a lot of effort into fully renovating the apartment... everything in it was brand new! Nettie looked at me with shock and asked "is this what all air bnbs are like", to which I replied not even close! Meg and Miles truly did a great job making the apartment cozy and comfortable. As hosts they were very accommodating and communicated with us before our stay to let us know about accessing the room. They left the outdoor lights on for us on arrival and even a personal note. In addition to catering to our late arrival, they also crafted a very robust "blue hill" guide (which we found very useful). We met Miles downstairs and he was extremely friendly and told us all about the area. In terms of entertainment, we found ourselves very satisfied with the local blue hill mountain trails and even contacted adventure sports for stand up paddle boarding lessons. The team there was great as well, chris runs it and our instructor cosmo was our favorite person of the 5 day trip. Great hosts, great place, and a great town. P.S. (From Nettie) THEY HAVE NEPRESSO!!

Meg and Miles are great hosts! The apt was extremely clean and well decorated (they have such good taste). They have prepared a manual with tips and recommendation, also including restaurant menus (!), local maps and other resources. They also spent time giving us a lot of information on the region and chatting about the Acadia Park trails and bike routes. We were very happy with the place - Blue Hills is a gem, and with them. Definetely recommend!

At the last minute, my rental booking for a party of 6 fell through. For a very fair surcharge, Meg agreed to host us for one night even though her rental is listed for a three night minimum. She really did us a favor! The place is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. She was very communicative from the start, and our stay was perfect.

Alan was a great host and the cottage was just what we were looking for. We like to travel and see all the sights each local area has to offer. Alan was a very helpful tour guide for the area and for his interesting cottage and farm. I would love to go back for a longer stay as ours was only 2 nights.

Very special place. Much more then we expected, and our expectations were already high. The landscape is unbelievable. Alan is an amazing host. We will be back for a longer period of time.

Our stay was more than ideal. The cottage is as exactly shown in the photos. The property is stunning. Make sure Alan shows you around, the buildings are quite interesting. Staying in Surry is ideal for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The short drive through Surry and Ellsworth is picturesque approaching the mountains. We plan on staying with Alan again soon!

Alan's cabin is a very cosy and charming place, very quiet and in an amazing environment. Perfectly located to go to Acadia, and the surroundings offer stunning views on the Maine mountains and waters. The breakfast was excellent both mornings we stayed. The only drawback is the shower not located in the cabin, but I know it's a work in progress :) Alan was a great host, very welcoming, interesting to talk to and always ready to share great stories! He took us for a tour of the premises on our last morning which was amazingly beautiful. We'd definitely recommend this place and stay there again. Thanks again Alan!

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. I would return with my sons ( ages 13 and 11 ) or for a quiet get away by myself. The first day I arrived, I was able to attend a classical concert in the barn - such a special place! The boys and I were tired from travel; however, we were able to enjoy swimming in a small beach, biking along the water and lobster dinner on a small pier just a mile or so from the cottage. This is a great location if you intend to explore Acadia if you desire to get away from the chaos of Bar Harbor. We left the cottage every morning, stopped in Ellsworth for breakfast and made our way to the Acadia National Park. The drive was easy and short enough that the kids did not complain. Alan was the perfect host. He gave us as much privacy as we wanted while providing great suggestions for activities in Acadia and even the best coffee shops and ice cream shops to visit. I am looking forward to a return with my extended family. There are multiple cottages on the property which make it a perfect destination for extended family.

We were lucky to stay in this beautiful place and to know Alan. The cabin is very well situatated 30-40 min from the entrance of the Acadia nayional park. It's located in Surry in a magic environement. The place is warm and very clean. It has all the comforts and even more (a full beautifull working piano). The bed is really comfy and it was easy for us as a family to find our space. But the best part of our stay was to get to know Alan who's a wonderfull person. It was really interesting to get to know all the history of the place, to discover the buddhist place, to hear him playing the piano with our little 2ys old child and once we have had dinner together. He had as well very good tips to discover the local activities: the bakery is really good by the way and the hike on the blue hill mountain was really nice. We strongly advise this place, it was one of the best airbnb experience and we hope we'll come back once to spend more time!

The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We loved our stay at Alan's cottage. He was a very welcoming host and made us feel right at home. It's a beautiful area, perfect for a weekend get away!

Exactly as advertised. No frills and quiet.

Morgan bay is a little oasis. It's so serene. A little hike in the moss garden listening to the bull frogs and fire flies the cabin is very cozy. Everything was really clean including the Eco bathroom. Heather was really kind and helpful.

The cabin is a fantastic place to spend a few nights. It's comfortable, cozy, and free from all the distractions of modern life. The zendo grounds are beautiful and were a perfect place to relax and watch the stars or just listen to the sounds of nature after spending a day hiking in Acadia. Heather did a great job of letting me know where to go and how to get settled in.

I had a wonderful time at Susan's cabin. It is exactly as the description says, a tiny room with a bed and a small chair. Susan was kind enough to let me book it for one night and she was very prompt with her responses which made the booking process a breeze. A few yards from the cabin is the meeting hall where the kitchen and bathrooms are located. You can get stuff and cook in the kitchen. The bathroom itself is a compost one and is very clean and well maintained. The cabin does not have any lights but Susan gave me a powerful torch/lantern. I was greeted by Susan the evening I arrived, and she gave me a quick tour of the cabin, the meeting hall and the lake in front of it. It is a beautiful place, very calm and peaceful and I would love to stay there again, hopefully for a longer duration.

It was a wonderful experience staying at Morgan Bay Zendo in cabin #1. The cabin is as described, and it is super peaceful and quiet on the grounds. I only saw one other person the entire time I was there. The cabin itself is super clean and fits one comfortably. The rocking chair is a nice touch. There is a fireplace heater as well for the cooler seasons. The provided flashlight in the kitchen is nice touch. It was helpful using it to navigate from my car back to the grounds as it got super dark at night. Finding the place was relatively easy with the kindly provided hand-drawn map and directions from Heather and Susan going down the hill from the parking lot.

Nicole came to meet me when I arrived on Susan's behalf and gave me a good tour of the place. I liked that the cabin had a very light whitewash on the wood inside which gave it a clean airiness. I sat and read a book on Buddhism in the library area.

Exiting the fielded lot where you park, you cross a quaint wooden bridge and continue down a nice little trail which greets and refreshes you as you venture down to the property. The property is simple and maintained with an interesting history. This was a great place to stay and served as a great reminder that simplicity is bliss.

The residents were very easy to communicate with & greeted you upon arrival to orient you to the grounds & your cabin. The cabin itself: small & clean. You can't beat the price or location. The Carter Nature Preserve is just around the corner & only 45 drive into Acadia National Park. It was also lovely to sit for both an evening & early morning meditation at the Zendo. Thank you!

A beautiful cabin in a beautiful part of the world. Close enough to town to get anything you need, and an easy drive to Acadia and other attractions in the area.

It was a nice cottage.

This place is so well located! Very clean and cozy. Nice yard and fire pit. Close enough to Ellsworth but not too close. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to come back here! Thank you!

We had a great stay, the cottage is a good base for exploring the Bar Harbor area and Acadia National Park without the high cost of staying on Mt. Desert Island. Cottage was immaculate and nicely decorated, and although we didn't have a chance to use them, the S'mores supplies were a wonderful touch! There was a bit more noise from the nearby road than we expected, but not enough to bother us at night as long as the windows were closed. And the shower is a tight fit for anyone taller than 5' 10" or so. Overall a very pleasant stay and we'd definitely consider staying here again in the future.

Andrew made us feel very welcome with all the amenities and personal touches he had for us upon arrival. The house has a nice large kitchen that we enjoyed cooking lobster in. Unfortunately the house was very uncomfortable for sleeping. All of the beds/bedrooms were uncomfortable (no headboards for sitting up in bed to read etc and cheap linens/curtains/doors) and there is a lot of noise from the busy road outside. Unfortunately we had to use the futon in the front room as one of our sleeping beds (I specifically picked this place because it had enough beds for us as I do not like having to use the bed in our living area for sleeping but the cot and the space in the small bedroom was not suitable for two).

Very comfortable and quaint cottage. Meticulously clean and incredibly appointed (including appliances and furniture). The hosts clearly thought of everything. Really enjoyed the quick and easy drive into Ellsworth and onto Mount Desert Island. Visitors should note that doors from bedrooms into common areas are accordion doors and that there is a bit of street noise when windows are open. Would definitely stay in this incredibly maintained cottage again, and recommend it highly.

Jen and Andrew's place is meticulously clean, well located and perfect for a family with kids. It was well-stocked with supplies, they were always ready to help and respond and gave a lot of valid information about the neighborhood that helped with our trip. The home is located near the main city center and one can drive to the town with no difficulty allowing to access to all the eating places. I will definately use this place again on my next trip to Maine. Thank you.

This was the best Airbnb experience I've had so far! The cottage is simple, yet it has everything we needed, plus Andrew and Jen are amazing about providing a little extra that made us feel warmly welcomed. The care they put into it is clearly noticeable and very appreciated. The cleanliness of this place is by far the best I've seen (beats many big chains hotels) and the little details made us feel right at home. There is a small checklist for when you checkout and the hosts are available for anything needed. Although, their instructions about the cottage (where to find things, stuff to do, suggestions, whereabouts) are thorough and we didn't need to contact them. I am glad we got to meet both hosts, they were very pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed as well as to give us privacy. The cottage is located in a beautiful land with the meadow as far as the eye can see! It has apple trees, blackberry and blueberry trees. We made s'mores every single night by the fire pit and drove to the Acadia National Park every day (about 40 minutes depending where in the island you wish to go). I am so happy I found this place and hope it's available again next summer so we can go back. We made some of our best family vacation memories there! Thank you Andrew and Jen!!
