Summary of reviewsThe property offers a tranquil retreat with breathtaking views, excellent hosts, and clean, comfortable accommodations. Easy access to Acadia attractions but away from the crowds. Perfect for a peaceful vacation.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This is a beautiful property in a forested quiet area and the charming cottage is really nicely designed, decorated, and appointed. Our hosts were just as wonderful! The quiet roads through the forest gave us endless walks with frequent views of inlets and lakes, and occasional interactions with friendly and interesting local people. Acadia Ntl park is an easy drive away and it is amazing. We loved so many things about this property and area and we can't wait to go back.

What a wonderful stay at Tranquil Retreat! Visiting the Schoodic Peninsula for an art residency, I was seeking a rental that would provide a quiet and restorative space when not working in the studio nearby. This apartment was perfect, and I look forward to returning. Communication was timely, friendly, and informative. There was a welcome basket full of goodies upon arrival! The owners next door were helpful and responsive, while not at all intrusive. The space was tastefully decorated, extremely clean, neat, and equipped with everything one might need. What really completed this gorgeous home away from home were the ocean views, sounds, autumn color, and the deck from which to enjoy them all with coffee or wine, which I enjoyed even with the chilly October temps.

This property was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The apartment has been well cared for and offers all of the amenities for a fabulous stay. We were greated with a very much appreciated goodie basket of snacks and a kind welcome message from the owner. This was welcome as we arrived after driving many hours that day.Communication with the owner was excellent. The location is near the Schoodic Peninsula which is a wonderful area to explore. I highly recommend this property.

This apartment was clean and on a beautiful peace of property next to the Ocean. The owners are right next door so there is no real sense of privacy to this place. The communication I had with the management company EVOLVE was the absolute worst I have had to ever deal with. A week before my trip, I sent them a request to reduce my stay by 4 days because I had to get back to be with my father who is at MD Anderson in Houston dying of cancer. I messaged them on the VRBO app and did not ever get a response for 72 hours. I finally got someone to respond by email but there was a huge lag in the time between sending the email and them responding. They offered me some minuscule amount of credit for leaving early. The WiFi did not work at all. The access point was in the owners house but too far away to get a useable signal. That apartment needs its own wireless router in there. The place and the area were clean and beautiful so it was not a complete bust. Will come back to the area but find a different place to stay.
