Cozy cottage nestled in the woods with walking distance to town.

#2 Cottage located in the woods on the quiet side of M.D.I. Pet friendly. Walking distance to town and the Great Harbor Marina with more than a dozen restaurants in the area as well as the Island Explorer Shuttle Bus System (June 23 to Columbus Weekend) to almost everywhere on M.D.I. and Acadia National Park. Minutes to Acadia, hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming, mountain climbing, bird & whale watching,. Built in 2012 this is a two bedroom cottage with a large loft master and one bath. The loft has a king size bed with lots of space and two half-height storage closets, the big bedroom has a queen bed with hanging and dresser storage, the small bedroom has twin bunk beds and dresser storage. The kitchen is open to the living/dining area with a cathedral ceiling. We can accommodate more people in our other cottage (Homeaway #956783) if you have a large group or family gathering. The whole interior is knotty pine with laminate wood floors throughout. There is a heat pump in the living room for either heat or air conditioning. The outside patio is pea stone with a barbecue grill, picnic table, chairs, lounge and steps down to a pea stone firepit area.

Fantastic Family Trip
We absolutely loved our trip here. The cabin is more gorgeous in person than the pictures. The cabin is close to everything and a short walk to the town. The outdoor seating area with the fire was a welcome way to spend a cool evening. It was nice to have a kitchen and laundry room. The loft overlooking the water was perfect. We hope to come back and would absolutely stay here again!

Acadia trip
This was our second stay at the cottage and it was everything we remembered from our first trip. It feels very secluded and peaceful but is walkable to town and the restaurants and shops of Southwest Harbor. Beds are comfy and there is everything you would need in the house, including many games and books in the laundry area which was very nice

Wonderful Stay in Southwest Harbor
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The location was so peaceful, yet close to everything we needed. We loved sitting on the loft and reading and my daughter loved the bunk beds. Everything was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the outdoor fire pit too! Couldn’t have asked for a better week.

Quintessential Maine!
We had such a great stay at cottage #2! I wish I had booked it for more days. The cabin was exceptionally clean and comfortable with a rustic feel. The view of the distant harbor from the master bedroom was so beautiful at sunrise. I kept waking up early just to watch view. Breakfast at the picnic table was also very serene. One morning we watched a red fox hunt for breakfast. It’s a great place to relax and decompress from the stress of life with all of the modern conveniences you’re used to (WiFi, streaming services, kitchen supplies, laundry). Walking distance to the small town with great little boutiques, a post office, a bakery, cafes and ice cream. Acadia/Bar Harbor is about a 25-30 minute drive. Highly recommend!

We loved Vicki’s cottage! It was super clean, the kitchen was very well equipped and the setting is amazing, so quiet and in the middle of the forest. It was really nice to be away from the crowd. I highly recommend it.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time out exploring the island - and it was a comfortable place to come back to. They made sure we had dry firewood for s’mores.

Awesome trip all around. Perfect, quiet, private, peaceful location. Nice walk to the essentials (during business hours) and just a short drive to anything else you need. We loved our stay in Southwest Harbor. House had all we (family of 4) needed for our trip to Acadia. Thank you!

Wonderful Cottage
Cottage was wonderful and hosts were very thoughtful. When the power went out from the post-tropical storm, Vicki brought us water so we could make coffee and a few lanterns to light up the cottage. Thank you for making our vacation special!

The Perfect Retreat
My family and I really enjoyed the cottage as a place to relax after long days of hiking and exploring Acadia. The accommodations were perfect, and it’s also in walking distance to several restaurants and shops as well. We also really enjoyed being able to have our dog with us to experience the park! Thank you again for an amazing stay!

Maine Cottage
The property was as described in the listing. It was very clean and well equipped. It was a little remote yet very accessible to everything we needed. The only recommendation I would make it that the kitchen needs better lighting and there needs to be more large size glasses.

Cabin in the Woods
We loved the cabin. It was new and clean, nicely laid out, and well equipped. We were near the main road but it was secluded. Nice fire pit. Great bedroom up in the loft. And a deer strolled by while we were looking out the window.

You don’t give yourself enough credit!!
If I had to say anything bad about this listing it’s that the pictures do not do this place justice!! What a peaceful serene setting to spend our 15 year anniversary. The kitchen was amazing to cook in, the atmosphere was picturesque and exactly what we expected Maine to be. Being outside the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor was incredible! We didn’t want for anything during our stay (except maybe a dry day!). We hiked our butts off and were able to relax and enjoy the scenery when we were done. Thank you so much for having us!!

The Cottage was very pleasing and inviting. However, we had a problem in one of the bedrooms. We reported to the owner/landlord. Her reaction was to blame us. She became very upset and told my daughter in law to return to CT. The whole episode was handled very unprofessionally. It put a damper on our vacation. The property was located close to the village. However, it was on a very steep and rutted road. Luckily, we had an SUV.

Dark and secluded
I was a little disappointed with the initial impression. Very dark and heavily wooded. No water views except from the second floor loft looking out in the distance. Access road requires an SUV or pickup truck. Definitely not a low to the ground vehicle. The general interior impression was OK. The main indoor issues were the towels (funny smell) and the bathroom (I had to pretend I was in a campground). We managed to spend as little time there as possible but we made it work. Will not be returning to this property.

Vicki did an amazing job of preparing the place. It was very clean and she had thought about many of the small details that can often be overlooked. She was very responsive and has a great place to share. It is quiet and secluded, but it's close to downtown. Beautiful place!

Our stay
Chris and I have been coming to Woodland Cottages almost every year since 2015. We have stayed in each of the three cabins which are cozy and comfortable, clean and well stocked..Vicky has been very responsive with any needs or request we have asked her. Vicky also alerted us that next years slots for the cabins we filling up quickly, so I was able to put in for our vacation before she was sold out. This year we were able to bring our mini schnauzers, Riley and Lily with us. We had a great time exploring the trails along the ocean and going into Bar Harbor. Dispute the rainy weather, this was a relaxing vacation we needed. We enjoyed a camp fire to roast a few marshmallows one evening, while watching fireflies dance in the distance. Thank you Vicky for another great year! Luciano’s NH
