The Apple Cottage was beautiful. It is oceanside and set on a property that is secluded and peaceful. Deer visited us morning and evening, adding to the relaxed feeling. It was on the quiet side of Acadia but close enough to all of the Park to make hiking and other activities accessible. We plan to return in the future.

Apple Cottage
This was the third time we have stayed at Apple Cottage and have enjoyed it each time. It's always our first pick of places to say while vacationing at Acadia National Park.

Lovely quiet little slice of heaven
My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and making our first trip to Maine. This home was just what we were looking for, Close enough to various locations of Acadia National Park but tucked away from the crowds. The deck with the view of the water while observing the visiting deer was our favorite place to be after waking with our morning coffee or returning after hiking or visiting Bar Harbor. We enjoyed our time at Apple cottage and hope to return one day.

Perfect Quiet Side MDI for family of 4
Our host was very informative not only in preparation of our stay but also with the binder provided with information on hikes and food. The cottage was a perfect size for the 4 (2 adults, 14 year old and 11 year old kids) of us. I enjoyed my sunrise coffee on the deck along with the local deer. We loved checking out the beach at low tide while hunting for sand dollars and seaglass. Very easy checkout as well. Great location, will recommend to others.

Acadia Visit
Loved the quiet location with a view of the water. Property was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for visiting Acadia NP and a cozy retreat for those inevitable foggy, rainy days; so much nicer than a hotel room. Host responded immediately when we our access code didn't work.

Plan to Return!
Location is great on the quiet side of the island and numerous eateries are location fairly close by. The deck is a fabulous location for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the boats go by. Access to the beach is excellent and there is beauty in the simplicity of the layout of the cottage itself. We plan to return!

This was our second visit to Seawall. Location is great for hiking in Acadia and we enjoyed fabulous weather. Kitchen is not equipped for elaborate cooking, but was fine for making simple meals which is all we felt like after hiking all day!

Wonderfully relaxing
We had another wonderful 2 weeks at “Apple” cottage on the coast of Maine. This was our second stay at this property in Southwest Harbor. The views of the water and boat traffic were terrific. The cottage was very comfortable and we had daily visits from the island deer. We also saw a large flock of wild turkeys—twice! We love the “quiet side” of the island and the location and comfort of the cottage.
