The Smuggler's Retreat

Nice cozy cabin with water views. Easy to get to shops, Botonical Gardens and boat tours.

Great place to stay! Clean and well maintained. Nice relaxing location. Thank you!

Everything was great except for the broken window in one of the bedrooms. The glass wasn’t broken, but the plastic lock mechanism and the up/down mechanism of the window were both broken. The window didn’t lock and when I raised the bottom window to open it, the window wouldn’t stay up. It just fell inward into the room. The property manager called someone to fix it, but he forgot to come. I think they were going to fix it after we left. I hope they did!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood. Centrally located between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. If you stay here, book a lobster boat experience with Acadia Lobster Cruise - Jason Clark.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in a great location. It is situated on a beautiful, quiet 2-mile loop that has gorgeous views of the water. The loop is excellent for walking/running. Also, it is close to Boothbay Harbor and other fun towns. The house does not have AC so my warmer-blooded sister and nieces were warm at times. Also, the house description states that it has 2 queen beds but actually it is 1 queen bed and 1 full bed. The living area downstairs is a great place for kids to play, and it stays cool. However, the utility closet, which contains the heating unit, water, etc., is really loud at all times of the night, so the sofa bed downstairs really isn't a good place to sleep unless you can sleep through anything, or like I did, wear a sleep mask and earbuds. Overall, the house is a great place to stay if you are in the area. I think our group of 6 was probably too many, considering the couch downstairs was hard to sleep on, and the 1 bed is a full-size bed. Also, the couch upstairs is very small, so unless you are a child, I would think it would be very hard to sleep on. I think it is more suitable for 4 people, but we had a great time and made it work. Honestly, the location made up for a lot and it was a good price for what it was.
