Property Description
Rosewood Cottage is situated on 2 wooded acres, located on the “Quietside” of Mount Desert Island. The property is secluded, set away from the road and directly across the street from the ocean. There is a ocean breeze with a limited view of the water and Swan’s Island which is a short ferry ride away.
A small brook runs beside the property offering the sound of running water in the spring that becomes a trickle by the dog days of summer. Newly constructed this spring is a 400 square foot deck that wraps around the back of the property offering an ideal spot to relax.
A short walk to the ocean, the house is minutes from Acadia National Park and approximately a 20-30 minute drive to Bar Harbor. It was built in the 1940’s and much of the cottage remains intentionally unchanged. If you are looking for a rustic, authentic, vintage summer cottage, built by native Mainers on Mount Desert Island, in a quiet location, away from crowded tourist areas, this is your place.

No communication
We had zero information about check in or check out. I had to reach out to her about how to get into the house. There was a bowl of water catching water from the toilet that was available for my children to play in. We lost electricity from a blown breaker and had to crawl into the root cellar to flip the breaker. We reached out to the property manager for information on location of the panel… manager never responded (even now 36 hours later). There is no water near the property, whatsoever. The pictures are misleading. The house is definitely old and charming, but not worth the stay.

Cute Cottage by Acadia
We enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage. Some of the family saw a deer in the yard or first morning there. It was close to the tourist places such as Acadia and Bar Harbor, but still far enough away if you wanted to be away from the crowds. We liked hanging out on the back porch and visiting in the evenings and mornings. I’m a person who does well with written instructions, so those would have been helpful for me in regards to check in and check out procedures. (I realize not everyone needs that though.)

Perfect perch for a summer getaway
Quaint classic Mount Desert Island house. Comfy beds, clean space, quiet and tucked away, sunny deck for morning coffee and reading, and exactly what we needed for a quick weekend getaway.

This listing is poorly managed. When we arrived ( on time ) for our check-in the Host was nowhere to be found. She did not respond to any of the messages I sent her on VRBO app prior to traveling to MI. I was very upset and wondering if my two children and I will have a place to stay for the night. I called my husband and he was able to find her phone # on VRBO site. She finally responded to the text and let me know how to open the door. UNACCEPTABLE!Also, there were roaches. Musty smell. Was not very clean just sort of clean. Everything worked, except WiFi was down for the first day. The owner fixed it afterwards.

Really disappointed
I have stayed in many rentals over the years and have never had a bad experience until this one. We arrived at the house and went in. I went to put groceries in the fridge and found food residue on the shelf. Not the end of the world, I wiped it out with a Lysol wipe. While I had the wipes out I started wiping down the counters out of habit. They were not clean. I found crumbs and mouse droppings. I took a picture and messaged the host. I started looking around the rest of the house and found more droppings in the dining room floor and on the table. I messaged the host again. After 30 minutes we decided to look for somewhere else to stay and contacted VRBO. They started the process for a refund and reached out to the host as well. It took over a week to get a full refund including the CLEANING FEE! I am not someone who leaves bad reviews over something small like residue in the fridge but rodent droppings is disgusting!

Family Vacation
This was a great headquarters for our family vacation to Maine. We felt within driving distance of all we wanted to do, but far from the busyness of Bar Harbor. It is obviously an older home but overall it felt well maintained. For our family of five, we were pushing the space a bit (teenage daughter isn’t used to sharing one bath!) but we made it work. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Rose Cottage at Duck Cove
The VRBO pictures and description were accurate. We entered via the back door with a key as instructed by email. When we opened the front door, an alarm sounded and we didn't know how to turn it off. A few minutes later the alarm stopped; maybe the owner was notified? A laminated info sheet in the cottage would be helpful, listing wifi and alarm information.

Good
The house was not updated or perfect but it provided a comfortable place to rest after busy days hiking and site seeing. All the amenities worked well. And the location was good for our family.

Perfect for location!
We had a great stay! Also enjoyed the patio fireplace on the deck but we did spend most of our day time sight seeing but loved the location. Just a couple of things. Maybe add another mirror in bedrooms and extra propane tank available. This is an older home and does have a musky smell. We just opened up the house windows.
