My partner and I stayed here for our trip to Bar Harbor to spend the weekend in Acadia. The space was very quiet and easy to access. We booked here as it was a better fit for our budget but I would say there was a downside of having to drive 25mins to Bar Harbor every time we went for meals or the park. Overall a nice quiet spot for a weekend stay. I will advise they do not have an iron so bring one with you!
This was the perfect quiet place on the island, but also close by bay harbor and more touristy spots. The hosts were absolutely amazing! They answered any questions I had immediately. They provided a detailed book with great suggestions on things to do on the island. The pictures don't do this cottage justice! Exceptionally clean, convenient, and beautiful!
The host was very accommodating and friendly. We made a last minute change to our itinerary and they didn't skip a beat to work with us to adjust our stay! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend booking at Misty Mountain Retreat!
Clean, nicely appointed small getaway without all the hubbub of other places on MDI. Suited the needs of two participants in MDI marathon/ half marathon. As stated in property description, there is a ladder to the sleeping loft but one with which sore runners had no problem. Assume the water is heated by tankless heater because hot/water available upon demand. Nice!!! We were there 3 nights, would liked to have stayed longer. Great jumping off place to explore the island. Highly recommend.
My husband and I booked this as our home base while we visited Acadia National Park with our pup! The overall space was very clean and as described. Nicole and Andrew were great hosts and were more than happy to offer any assistance we may need and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable! They also provided great recommendations on hikes and restaurants in the area. I gave 4 stars for location because it was slightly inconvenient to travel to and from Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park from the home. Other than that, Nicole and Andrewâs Misty Mountain Retreat is a wonderful, pet friendly escape from reality. Thank you for hosting us!
This cottage is really clean and comfortable. It is away from the touristy and busy areas of the island, but less than 30 minutes away from any area of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The kitchen is truly a kitchenette, but we were able to cook a few meals (for two) with no problem. Nicole is very responsive and had many suggestions for kayaking off the beaten path. Firepit, large TV, eclectic music collection, tourist library, and AC are welcomed amenities. Enjoy!
Super clean and comfortable loft. Hosts were super nice and created a great place to stay. Bathroom seemed brand new, mattresses were super comfortable, great place to stay!
We used the cabin as a base for our visit to Acadia. It is very conveniently located so that visit to the north and south of the island is very easy. In less than 10 minutes you can get to a nice beach and watch the sunset. Local restaurants are also close by to grab local lunches and dinners.
This place was so beautiful and peaceful!! I would recommend to any friend. The inside was super clean and updated too! And i absolutely loved the bed, felt like the one I have at home! I actually said to my boyfriend a few times it actually feels like weâre at home right now not traveling. Super comfortable spot and rly friendly / helpful property manager! Thank you
The space was a perfect home base to fit our family during day hiking and exploring. We were able to fit in two pack and plays and were pleasantly surprised to find the AC even though itâs not mentioned in the listing.
My family and I truly enjoyed our time in Acadia! The host had so many wonderful tips for us as to places to hike and eat! Very welcoming and open communication when/if needed.
We will def. Be back to Acadia and hope to take advantage of some of the additional hikes recommended by the host.
We had an 18 month old and seven year old with us and we made it work in the space with the pack and play in the loft and 7 year old on the pull out couch.
With this house you are close enough to the hustle bustle of down town if you want to visit and enjoy, but far enough away for serenity and peace and quiet with a better opportunity to hike some of the less crowded trails with just as beautiful views! We did both sides of Acadia and enjoyed the quieter side with less people ans thought the views were just as beautiful, if not more beautiful!
The cottage was absolutely adorable with all the amenities of home in a small package. Very clean, modern yet that cottagey feel. The loft area for sleeping was very cozy, unique and the mattress very comfortable. The kitchenette area has most everything you could want down to an induction cook top, pots, pans and all cooking utensils. There is also a small stone campfire ring out back that we did use to have a small fire. Also is a bbq grill provided out back as well. The main living room area has a nice sofa, other seats, big screen tv of course (that we did not use). All in all we cant say enough about the cottage.......very homey!! Andrew and Nichole also are a very sweet couple. Even though their main residence is within 50ft, we never were disturbed by them whatsoever. They provided alot of up front information to us about local food, trails, things to do, etc....
All in all, we can only say AWESOME place!! You wont be disappointed what so ever staying hear! And, even though its on a main road leading to south harbor area, it was very very quite.
Perfect for what we needed. Great place out in the countryside to stay at if heading to Arcadia National Park. The property manager was very helpful and nice. Highly recommended!
Cute property! Nice and out of the bustle of Bar Harbor but a quick drive. A little more remote than we expected, but plenty comfortable and hosts were very responsive. Thanks for the hospitality!
A very nice place in a rural, country setting, yet near many activities and restaurants. We enjoyed exploring Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island from Misty Mountain Retreat. Everything was as advertised, clean and comfortable accommodations.
Although our stay collided with Tropical Storm Lee, the hosts kept tabs on us, making sure that we were comfortable and that everything was okay - excellent hosts.
We enjoyed Misty Mountain Retreat and would not hesitate to stay here again.
This is the perfect little cottage for two. It was wonderfully located near a small grocery store, a short drive from Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. It was private and just absolutely lovely. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great place to stay near Acadia.
