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.

Cozy Cottage

This cozy cottage was a great home base for all of our adventuring on the island. We really liked being on the “quieter” side but not a far drive from everywhere else. Kitchen was well stocked and home had virtually everything we needed. Beds were comfy and the house was very clean and nicely decorated. We had 3 generations staying in our group, and the rooms/setup was great for us. One upstairs room had 3 twin beds, so it was perfect for our teens to have their own beds and space, the other upstairs room for parents. Grandparents in the main floor bedroom attached to full bathroom. We did have to fold up a few rugs due to trip hazard for grandparents, but was easy to do. Wish the checkout time was a little later than 10 am for some extra time with the checkout tasks and packing up.

Charming Maine getaway

I have always wanted to visit this part of the US and it was everything that I hoped it would be. This property has been thoughtfully and lovingly decorated and stocked with everything you would need. Communication with the owner was quick and appreciated. If you are seeking to stay outside of the touristy Bar Harbor yet close to all options, this location is perfect.

Nice house but too many rules and many trip hazards.

We enjoyed our stay in Tremont as this location is close to the Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor where we spent our days exploring the scenic areas, wWe shops and restaurants.

Cute little Home

Cute little Home with lots of Notices to what you can do and not do in the Home. We enjoyed our stay. The reason I give a 3 is because of all the trip hazard rugs piled on top of each other. The rugs were dirty. When following the check out guide and I saw the BedBug spray I froze in place. So we took extra precautions when getting home just in case. Overall it’s an adorable little Home 30 mins from Bar Harbor and Acadia NP!!

Brookshire Cottage in Bass Harbor

Great location in Tremont Maine.The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. A perfect spot for exploring Acadia, Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor. Would highly recommend a windjammer cruise on the Margaret Todd in Bar Harbor and dinner at the Little Fern restaurant in the Claremont Hotel. We absolutely loved our three day stay!

Have never felt so at home

What an incredible place! From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left- we felt like we were just there visiting family. Check-in was super straight-forward and easy, and the layout of the house immediately made sense. Being tucked away in a slower paced area was a good break from our busy visits to Bar Harbor. Really enjoyed Beal's Lobster Pier on our first night there. The house is also a very short drive from the Bass Harbor lighthouse which is incredible. All of the furnishings, appliances, dishes, etc were upscale and felt homey. Not like someone just furnished the place to rent it out. The owner's were very nice and accommodating, nothing but positive things to say about them. Overall this place felt like a vacation spot that I'd be excited to return to over and over again.
