Nice retreat!
We enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. It was within walking distance to the Bass Harbor light house and very close to some great restaurants and shops on the "quiet side" of the island. Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc. very easily drivable. The house was very clean and we were SO grateful that all basic amenities were provided. It is on a secluded street with plenty of privacy. Enough so that we were a little apprehensive when we first drove up because the surrounding houses and the yard looked a little shady like from a horror film, but we're still alive and nothing unusual happened so we'd probably come back again. :)

Amazing National Park Getaway from the City
Driftwood Cottage was a fantastic getaway from Boston. The place was clean and gorgeous and had everything as advertised. The grill was supplied with propane, the hosts were responsive and helpful, and the beds were comfortable. The house is about 30 minutes from Acadia NP proper, but the surrounding area is just as remote and beautiful. The stars were brilliant and the area was quiet and filled with deer. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to return some time soon.

The Perfect Getaway
Quiet, peaceful and comfortable. All the things we were looking for! This was our first trip to Acadia and I am so happy we found this location. Bass Harbor and Southwest Harbor are definitely the quieter side of the island. Still closely located to all of the Acadia attractions. Numerous great food locations close by to fit anyone’s style. The house was clean and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and you feel at home when you walk in. Thank you for a great stay!

Great place on the Quieter Side of the Island.
We stayed in the fall, the house was perfect for the two of us and our dog. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was nice to come back to a quieter area after being in the downtown area. The large yard was an added bonus! Just a tip, the internet connection is spotty at times driving on the island and we would lose our google map navigation. Would recommend to screenshot the directions as a back up.

Great Rental, Great Location
This was a great cottage to stay at, and it was very well appointed and stocked. The location was great within walking distance to the Bass Head lighthouse, so you can avoid the line of cars. It's located back in the woods off of a private drive and feels very quiet and secluded. We saw a deer as we were pulling in and I am sure they are regular visitors. Another HUGE plus was having the laundry facilities, complete with complementary detergent and laundry sanitizer. We stayed here for the last night of our trip, and being able to do laundry was such a great relief. The only thing that some people might take issue with was that it did have a smell of dogs that was evident upon entering. Didn't bother us overly much, but something that might be an issue for others. Overall, it was a great stay, and I am grateful for our time at Driftwood Cottage.
