Cottage was so cozy! Three generation family vacation. We loved it.

Check in was very easy. The house was beautiful and had plenty of room for us. We didn’t realize until the second day that the Bass Harbor Head lighthouse was right down the road. We had to check it out the morning we checked out. Checking out was also easy.

Lovely stay at the cottage. Great location for a visit to Bar Harbor and adjacent communities. Quick drive to Acadia National Park.

Property is cute and welcomes dogs. However, host has a LOT of rules and is not the easiest to get in touch with pre-stay. We altered our stay by one night and it was a trial dealing with both VRBO and the host to get a refund. We had to contact Robin multiple times for the core portion of the refund (finally got a response when I asked VRBO to intervene). I couldn't get a refund for the taxes until after the stay, which had to be issued by VRBO. During the stay, Robin did reach out to confirm if everything was going well. Frankly given the inconvenience around getting in touch, payment processing, and all the clean up rules, I think the cost was steep (unless you are truly filling up the house and have 6 guests). I will probably just stay in a hotel next time.
