This was our second stay at Island Sky and we were so glad to be back! This cottage is so lovely, well appointed and comfortable. It’s close to all the attractions that Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor have to offer but just off the beaten path enough to provide peace and quiet. Watching the sunrise from the deck is an amazing way to start your day! We had a wonderful visit and hope to return again next year.

Our favorite place!

This was the nicest place we have ever stayed. Everything about it was perfection: the view, the decor, the amenities, kitchen supplies, extra pillows on the bed, extra blankets in the house, in addition to being spotlessly clean. We would love to stay here every year.

Great Little Place

We had a wonderful stay at Island Sky! The property had beautiful water views and great amenities! We also enjoyed the sound of the little creek that runs along the side of the property. You are close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia(about 15 minutes) and there are a lot of lobster pounds very near by!😁😍 We truly enjoyed our stay!

Gorgeous!

Perfect place to enjoy privacy, views and a serene place to start and end each day. The views, surrounding, decor, porches, lawn.. were all perfect. There was ample space to relax outdoors, but the provision of some outdoor activities, such as cornhole, a fire ring, would have been nice, to provide ways to more fully enjoy the outdoor spaces of this property!

Fabulous waterfront rental minutes from Acadia!

We stayed in this beautiful rental for the week while our son was at camp and we had a fabulous stay. Beautifully decorated with a coastal Maine vibe, insanely clean, well appointed and very private. The location is down a deceiving road, but tucked away and directly on the water with gorgeous views. About 1/8 of a mile to the bridge heading to Acadia, which made daily trips to/from Acadia and Bar Harbor super easy. We highly recommend this rental!

The house was lovely! We had beautiful views and enjoyed watching the wildlife- we say eagles, seals, and a lot of seagulls! The house was clean and comfortable. The perfect size and spot for a couple. The kitchen was nicely stocked. We also had another couple over for a dinner several times and there was space for hosting small dinner parties. I had a minor "dental emergency" during the trip; a crown popped off and went down the drain. We called the rental company and the owner came over and retrieved it from the sink the next day. A wonderful visit and great hosts!

Paradise by the Shore

Island Sky is the ideal cottage for vacationing couples. The cottage is perfectly decorated and has all the amenities of home. The view is incredible along with the multiple outdoor seating areas to enjoy it. The quiet tranquility of the cottage and Trenton is a great reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. We absolutely loved spending time each morning enjoying the view while having coffee and planning our daily adventures then returning to Island Sky in the evening to reminisce about the memories made that day.
