Awesome!

I rented this house for my family, my brother and our parents to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary! It was perfect for us. Their bedroom was on the first floor so they didn’t have to climb stairs. The house was adorable, neat, clean and we had everything. It’s conveniently located near Acadia, Bar Harbor, Bass Harbor etc. we had a wonderful long weekend getaway with our family and my parents had quality time with us and their grandchildren. We love the area and we are very familiar with it but we usually camp so this was a nice change of pace. I emailed the owner with a concern and we received a prompt reply.

Great family vacation for visiting Acadia!

Very comfortable accommodations on Mt. Desert Isle for our first visit to the area! Was glad to be on the quiet side of the island and had plenty of space to spread out.

Family of 7 Adults - Great Experience/House

This house has everything you could ever want or need. I am very particular about houses I rent. This is well equipped, in good shape, in a good location, and is even bigger than the photos. The kitchen was one of the best kitchens I have experience with VRBO. I recommend this house. Large 4 bedroom house on a quiet street. Close to Seawall and Wonderland. Not too far from everywhere else on MDI and away from the crowds.

About the host

Hosted by Elisabeth Glass

We live in Colorado but enjoy summers on Mt.Desert Island (MDI) where our sons grew up sailing at the local sailing center. We love MDI for Acadia National Park, its beauty, the ocean, wildlife, and a lifestyle of simple pleasures enjoying nature and relaxation.
We enjoy all that summer offers from sailing, cycling, hiking, and just living simply in a wonderful community. It is a haven we love.

Why they chose this property

Mt Desert Island (MDI) is unique among Maine destinations because of Acadia National Park. We love Southwest Harbor for its Maine small town-feel, good restaurants, MDI Community Sailing, and great community. Our home is on the 'quiet side' of MDI, but the cultural attractions of Bar Harbor are only 20 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Meadowside Cottage offers us simple summer living where we can walk or cycle to the beach, to the Seawall, or to Southwest Harbor. Our home is on one acre with a meadow on one side and a wooded section beyond the grassy backyard. It is convenient to town, but has a rural feel, too. The Islander bus will stop at the house if you wave at the driver and it provides a free ride all over Mt Desert Island including Bar Harbor.
