After staying at numerous different cottages on Mt. Desert Island, we have finally found our favorite after staying at Acadia Cottages last summer, and plan to return year after year for our annual family trip to the island. We have two small children, twins, and it is difficult to find a cottage layout that allows the parents to have their... More

Cabins were great. Comfortable, clean and cozy. The location can't be beat. Quieter than anything near Bar Harbor, but only a few minutes drive form the main park itself. Southwest Harbor and the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island have so much to see! If you are a photographer, pro or hobbyist, lots of inspiration from Gordon's spectacular work! Everything... More

Gordon and Lisa have created a little piece of heaven in Southwest Harbor. Acadia Cottages is a wonderful place to stay. Our family rented the house and one suite in July. Every need was anticipated and fulfilled, everything was spic and span and in good repair, the beds were comfy, linens good quality, and the hosts are so environmentally responsible.... More

Gordon and Lisa are terrific host--they run the property and are more than helpful when it comes to anything we had questions about and in providing all the necessary amenities in... More

I found information for Acadia Cottages online during a search for a place to stay during our first trip to Maine and Acadia National Park. The reviews sounded like the location (Southwest Harbor) would be so nice to ease us into our vacation and into the Park. Upon arrival we were allowed by owner Lisa to check in early and... More

While exploring this side of the island, we stayed in cottage #14, a deluxe studio with a queen-sized bed and a sofa. It was comfortable and you could tell that the owners had worked hard to make it so. It was smaller than what I had envisioned but certainly big enough for the 2 of us. There were numerous hooks...

We stayed at the Acadia Cottages for three nights. The hosts were welcoming and helpful and patiently answered all of our questions. They were very knowledgeable about dining options and especially hiking areas. The cottage was super clean, spacious and comfortable. The surroundings were also quiet and peaceful while being conveniently located. Having access to a washer and dryer was... More
