Private Cottage in Quiet Woods near Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor

Leave the hectic world behind and come to Maine to relax in this quiet cottage in the woods near Acadia National Park. Just 10 minutes to Bar Harbor, 6 minutes to the Park Entrance and Information Center, and 7 minutes to the Hadley Point Beach for swimming, boating, and picnicking.

The master bedroom has a queen size, cushion top mattress and a hand-made lighthouse quilt. The room features nautical-themed decor and a private bathroom with shower and abundant towel racks. Relax in the sitting area or write a postcard at the desk. An overhead fan supplies a gentle breeze.

Light cascades into the second bedroom with its single and bunk, all twin extra-long beds. Cuddle up under the quilts or write letters at the desk. The adjacent bath with tub/shower also serves the living room.

The living area has a pillow-filled sofa suitable for napping, easy chair, and a flat screen TV with Home Theater Surround Sound, Cable, and DVD/CD player. A wide variety of movies are also available from the Jesup Memorial Library in Bar Harbor. You can play with games and toys or savor a book from our library which has everything from mysteries to histories, biology to biography.

The living area opens to the fully equipped kitchen with its refrigerator/freezer, electric stove and oven, separate convection microwave, toaster, blenders, and large sink with dishwasher. Chefs will enjoy the full supply of pans, pots, (including a lobster pot!), cooking utensils, dishware, flatware, coffee pot, and ash picnic basket. As you sit at the oak dining table, sipping your morning coffee or tea, looking out the picture window, you may spot birds, squirrels, or an occasional deer or fox. You may prefer taking breakfast on the front porch before heading out for a day of hiking in the Park or sightseeing and shopping in the quaint towns of Mount Desert Island.

In the evening, enjoy rocking on the front porch or solving jigsaw puzzles at the game table. There you may catch the lovely scent of balsam fir and drink in the exquisite tranquility of Maine at its best.

Children welcome. No pets. Non-smoking.

Very Convenient
Our stay at this cottage was convenient to Bar Harbor and ANP, yet the cottage is secluded and quiet which was the perfect way to experience the area. The cottage is well kept, clean and fully supplied with everything you will need.

Great After Check-In
The property is wonderful. And convenient to the entrance to Acadia National Park. We did experience a disastrous check-in process. No communication at all with the hosts with the address or check-in process. Tried multiple ways to connect, including contacting VRBO directly multiple times, with no luck. Scary. Finally got resolved 3-4 hours after the check-in time.

The cottage is conveniently located near Acadia National Park, as well as a very short drive to Bar Harbor. The cottage is very cozy with all the amenities that are needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts are close by, very helpful and willing to provide any information or needs that the guests may have.

Peaceful Cabin in the Woods
In spite of its location close to the tourist hub of Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park, the cabin provided quiet solitude and a relaxed environment. Very well equipped to serve our needs. Everything was in fine working order. When I contacted the host prior to arrival, I told him the kinds of things we wanted to do while in the area, and when we check in there were numerous guides and travel pamphlets on the coffee table that were useful in finding locations and attractions to maximize our time. Very friendly and hospitable hosts. A wonderful stay. A place we would visit again and recommend to others.

Quiet and nice cottage ideally located
We had a great stay with our 15-yo twins at Marilyn and James’s cottage. The cottage has lots of space and the patio is great. The location is also very quiet while being very close to Acadia park entrance (less than 10 min) and Bar Harbor. James and Marilyn were very welcoming and eager to answer any questions. We would go again in a heartbeat!

Just what we were looking for
This cute, comfortable, cozy cabin in the woods was what we needed. The surprise in the fridge was absolutely delicious. It has to be one of the cleanest VRBO we have stayed in. The owner lives behind the cabin and are the nicest couple. It is secluded but close to everything especially the national park. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely Cottage and Hosts!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Cottage. James and Marilyn were wonderful hosts and the cottage was very clean and well stocked. Our almost 6 year old enjoyed the bin of toys and the children’s books. The proximity to the NP entrance, Bar Harbor, as well as other attractions on MDI was so convenient! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will stay here again, if we ever are in the area again.

I really enjoyed my stay. I highly recommend the cabin. It has a forested location that is not far from Bar Harbor. The place was very clean with plenty of room. The surroundings were very quiet. The owners were great. I attended church with them. They were helpful in every way.

The Kitler's cottage is a luxury house- with every comfort imaginable. We enjoyed it all! Walks around the tranquil neighborhood, many hours enjoying the porch, hanging out reading and playing games! We all slept extremely well- the beds are SO comfortable! Two bathrooms with separate showers as well- was a huge plus! A perfect place to stay! We did it all- biked the carriage roads, hiked cadillac mountain, sea kayaked at Hadley Point, ate in Bar Harbor- everything was so close! What a blessing to have found this property!

Cabin
This cabin was perfect for our needs. Nestled in the woods, but very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was the ideal homebase for us. The cabin was very well appointed, and we cooked just about all of our meals there. Everything was super clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The games, puzzles and books were a nice extra touch. James and Marilyn were fantastic hosts...welcoming, helpful and friendly. And the berry rhubarb pie was delicious! We spent 5 nights here, and left wishing we could stay longer.

Well located and comfortable cabin
Easy to find and well located about 5 minute drive to Acadia park and 12 minutes from Bar Harbor. The cabin is clean, bright and comfortable with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and well equipped kitchen. Located in a wooded area that is very quiet but close to a road. Owners are friendly and available (live up the road) and welcomed us with a home made pie. We were lucky to spot a red fox walking in the woods around the house.
