Then at 10.19am they emailed saying they rented it out to someone else. They don't care about following through on commitments, I'm sure I'm not the first person they've done this too. Called directly when I saw their email and they were rude and defensive saying there was no sense of urgency on my part. There was nothing they could do to rectify going against their word. Try another rental agency :)

Everyone at the Agency is so easy to work with, and extremely helpful. While we were at our rental the propane for the grill ran out and someone brought us a tank within a couple of hours. This year I contacted them about renting the cottage. I was extremely busy this year and thought I booked it, but I didn't actually do it. They reached out to me to ask if I still wanted it instead of letting someone else book it.

They were super jealous of our cabin and we definitely cannot blame them! A few nights were super chilly and the heat really made the cabin so cozy. The couple who runs these cottages are so nice and accommodating. It's the perfect location to enjoy the quiet side of Acadia. The shops and restaurants in southwest harbor are so close you could walk back to your cottage.

This was an absolutely lovely place to stay while on vacation on Mount Desert Island…read more The cabin was redone fully so the interior was all wood. It smelled amazing and was so clean. It was the most luxurious place I'd ever stayed! Tucked off the main street in Southwest Harbor, this is a quiet little spot with well maintained grounds and amazingly organized cabins. Top notch bed and pillows. It's about a twenty minute drive to Bar Harbor, but it's easy and quick once you get the feeling of the layout. The "office" has extra swimming towels, movies, and books about Acadia. It's really awesome how the owners, Tom and Vickie, care about their customers. A downside was barely seeing the owners! We went in during their office hours but didn't see them. We received an invoice, and I was sad to not chat within our 48 hours of staying there. The 10am check out also was pretty brutal. You also clean your own cabin, which is okay, but we made breakfast and tea- doing dishes while packing up and paying the expensive price before 10? That was not great. It's pricey here, but it's so luxurious and beautiful, it's worth the splurge.

Bubbling fountain...nope! Al Fresco breakfast dining...nope! Afternoon social....nope! Staff availability...nope! Staff leaves at night leaving guests on their own. Hmmm......an early morning fire alarm urging evacuation and not a staff member in sight to turn to! They offer complimentary breakfast at the inn next door but if your a single diner, they'll attempt to seat you at a table with strangers! Not happening! Housekeeping....doesn't happen until AFTER you check out! Guests are told to leave trash, towels and linen outside their doors for housekeeping to pick up. And if you leave bedding outside your door, be prepared to make your own bed! Happy vacation! The Bar Harbor Inn is literally steps away......you'll be better off spending your money there! As a note.....I noticed all the favorable reviews were pre COVID. Please update your website to include inferior service!

The inn itself is beautiful and majestic and pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful property with beautiful green lawn leading to Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. Stairs lead down to the water and you can walk the shore. The hosts, Matt and Kristi, outstanding!!! Matt checked us in and gave us the lay of the land and gave us some history. I would have loved the chance to talk with them more- but we were on the go. Breakfast the next morning was this amazing homemade bread with melted Gouda cheese and fresh tomatoes with eggs any style topping it off. Unbelievable. And it started with fresh watermelon and kiwi plate with a coconut lime drizzle. I did not want to leave. They also had out biscuits and snickerdoodle cookies for arrival or when getting home for the night.

There is a gravel lot for parking, which is convenient since most restaurants and experiences can be walked to in town, helping you avoid the fight for parking. We stayed in the Charter Suite - I only wish it had been cold enough for us to use the working fireplace. That would have added extra charm! Kristi met us as we checked in and provided a warm welcome, even a warm send off by providing us muffins to go for our early flight. My fiancée and I greatly enjoyed our stay and are hopeful to one day return to Bar Harbor and Saltair Inn.

I am a current guest. I just checked in today. This place post 24/7 lobby service. I ran out to pick up late night food at 1 AM and returned, only need to find out that I left my room key inside my room. I come to get help and there is no one here. What ensued was me sitting and waiting in the lobby for approximately the last one hour. I'm still here now. In fact, I'm sitting behind the desk watching YouTube on the staff computer while I charge my phone. All phone numbers that are available route to this front desk phone number. I even called the police! Two cars from the Bar Harbor Police Department came here to try and help me, but said that there was nothing they could do. I don't blame them, this is not their fault. So I am still here sitting in an empty lobby waiting endlessly for an employee to hopefully stop in to check on things....
