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.

Amazing Stay

My husband, son, and I vacation every summer in Bar Harbor because we have family in the area. This is by far the most comfortable home we have stayed. The home is nicely updated. The beds are comfortable. The home has everything you would need to cook. It is a close walk to town and my 5 y/o loved being two doors down from the playground. Laura has done an amazing job and we hope to stay again next year!

Don't wait...rent this house NOW! :-)

This house was so cozy, clean, AND in a great location. That is a triple winner! We have rented a lot of places over the years and I had never seen a property get all 10 stars with so many ratings. Everyone was right! Loved our time in Bar Harbor and hiking Acadia. Great communication with the home owner too. Wouldn't hesitate rebooking next time we are in the area!

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 - 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.

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!

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.
