Definitely Whales Tale cottage was the perfect choice! Close to all but on the quieter side of things! Cottage was immaculate upon arrival, host was exceptional! Questions regarding our trip, suggestions were responded to very fast and helpful! Would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in a Maine vacation

Cleanest rental house I’ve ever stayed in! Was well thought out and beds were super comfortable! Best part was the spectacular view of the harbor, and short walk to restaurants and shops!

This home was bigger than it looked in the photos! It’s definitely quant but the homeowner makes such amazing use of the space that you have everything you need and don’t feel cramped! The location is also perfect. It’s right on the water and only 20 mins from bar harbor and there’s plenty of restaurants nearby! It’s absolutely gorgeous in that area and we would love to come back someday!
