Great house in an ideal spot
Summer Salt Cottage is a comfortable house for a family of four. The location is ideal--an easy walk to downtown Bar Harbor and a super short drive to the best of Acadia. Laura is responsible and friendly. We would stay here again.

Lovely home and great in-town location
Enjoyed a stay here in December with our three kids. The location just steps away from a playground is awesome, and it is easy walking distance to everything in Bar Harbor. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals all week, and the house was very clean and comfy. Would definitely recommend to other travelers visiting MDI!

Summer Salt Cottage is a perfect place to stay when visiting Bar Harbor. It’s clean, comfortable and the location is ideal for walking into the village or going into Acadia National Park. It’s our second time here and we will be back.

The Summer Salt Cottage was just right for our family. We loved being walking distance from downtown Bar Harbor but also a quick drive from Acadia. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some of our meals in. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay!
The home is even better than pictured in the listing. It is immaculately kept and cleanliness is far beyond many properties we have stayed in. Lovely touches throughout - very charming aesthetic - and is well equipped with everything you need. Also a super convenient walk to downtown - perfect to get out for a morning walk for local pastries and coffee. Laura was also incredibly accommodating and responsive. We would absolutely stay at her property again!

Our family of 6 loved our stay at the Summer Salt Cottage! The home is immaculately clean, well stocked for guests, cozy yet spacious, the perfect walk to town, and a close drive to Acadia. Laura provided everything we needed and more. This was also our first time to Bar Harbor and Acadia and we had such a wonderful experience, we hope to return in the future!!

Location is everything!
The house was excellent. So cute and well equipped for a weeks stay. As many reviews indicate, the house is so close to everything that we were easily able to walk everywhere. And it’s only minutes from Acadia. Laura ordered us a cooler to use during our stay since she didn’t have one already at the house. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Fantastic house in the heart of Bar Harbor
Great little house for a family getaway to MDI. Perfect location to walk into town but also convenient to the park road ,etc. Great size for a small-mid family. The house is immaculately clean and well stocked - Id say of 5-6 Bar Harbor VRBOs we have had over the years its probably the best stocked rental Ive seen - better stocked than the listing indicates in fact. Higly reccomended.

Summer Salt Cottage - loved it!
This was a beautifully appointed house with all of amenities anyone would need or want. It reminded me of the house I grew up in and it felt like home right away. We only cooked one night, but the kitchen had everything. The laundry was great and we packed less knowing it was available. The location was great and we walked to town for dinner and shopping many times. It is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

Feels like home
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Summer Salt Cottage... it's clear the owner takes great pride in this family home. It was close enough to the harbor to walk to shops and restaurants. The place was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Had all the comforts of home and many personal touches that made us feel welcome. The beds were comfy and the rooms had plenty of storage space. Kitchen was well stocked... well beyond the basics - we had everything we needed for the week. Would highly recommend this cottage!

The ultimate ANP experience.
There is something about staying in Bar Harbor that makes a vacation to ANP even better. Staying at Summer Salt Cottage with its close proximity to town allowed us to walk to Bar Harbor every night for food, for shopping and for Ice Cream without having to worry about parking. The large well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook amazing meals with fresh seafood purchased at Parsons. The comfortable living room was perfect for spending time with family. The comfortable beds that we fell into after hiking all day were very welcome. We also really enjoyed sipping blueberry wine on the small deck and cooking popovers in the popover pans. We enjoyed staying at Summer Salt Cottage and would love to stay there again next time we visit ANP.

Fantastic place!!!
We absolutely loved this house for our family of six. We’ve been to bar harbor three times before this, and stayed in a different house each time. Now we have found the perfect place to stay every time we come! The location couldn’t be beat. We walked to town almost every day (only about 10 min with kids), the fabulous playground is a 20 second walk away, and the street was super quiet. The house is full of little Maine themed details that shows great care and quality for the house. The kitchen was nice and big, and the living room was super cozy. They had all the supplies we needed and more, and the owner was super fast to reply to any questions we had and was very kind. Can’t rate this house high enough!!!

Comfy "Cottage"
My husband and I stayed with our three teenagers at the Summer Salt Cottage. This is our second time vacationing in Bar Harbor. The first time, in 2021, we stayed in the downtown area. Although everything was at our doorstep, it was noisy and getting in and out with the car was a bit of a pain. When we saw the Summer Salt Cottage, we knew it was the perfect location...away from the hustle and bustle but easily accessible on foot. The house was nice and peaceful, very comfortable, and had everything needed for out of town guests. We slept well and had plenty of space when we needed some down time after adventuring. The Farmer's Market was around the corner on Sunday so it was a great way to fill the fridge and support the locals. We were so happy and grateful that Laura shared her home with us and went the extra mile to feel like you were home away from home. Ty Laura!

Great place for a trip to Acadia National Park
Summer Salt Cottage was perfect for our stay. First, it was impeccably clean. We’re talking not a crumb in the toaster clean. Everything was well organized as well. The house itself is charming. The furniture is in keeping with the age of the house with vintage lamps and cute beaded board wainscoting. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The neighborhood is quiet, belying its proximity to the bustling commercial area. We walked to restaurants, shops, the Abbe Museum, and to some trails. Lastly, Laura was an excellent communicator with quick responses and easy directions. She had a binder in the kitchen with instructions too. I can highly recommend Summer Salt Cottage.
