Testimonials for the Carriage House

Carriage House

We had a excellent stay! What a wonderful place. Clean and everything you could ask for! Great people, Marc and his family are exceptional! We also had our dog and he loved it too! The cabin is so well done and has everything we need. Wow! We will recommend it to everyone we like!

We had a great time here in Maine. Anna's Quietside Cottages is very nice and comfortable. Last year we came with 23 family members and this year we returned with 19. We rented 4 houses and everyone was happy. Weather did not cooperate but we made the best of it. Acadia National Park is beautiful. My favorite is Sand beach. We are going there now to swim. Very invigorating.
Thanks for everything.

We had a fantastic stay. What a gorgeous place you have provided here. All the small touches -the flowers, garden, moss garden, hammock, etc are just perfect. We will recommend Anna's Quietside Cottages to friends and family, and we will return again to be sure.

Oh my -what a wonderful time we had. The Carriage house was very comfortable and met our needs well. Our hosts were very good about making sure we had what we needed and were having a good time. Being away from TV, newspapers, and being out in this beautiful place was such a good escape.
This was our first trip to Maine and we came with our daughter and son in law to celebrate her 30th birthday. I really would love to come back to relax and enjoy your beautiful retreat again.

It was all wonderful! We're so glad to have found you!
We especially loved your gracious hospitality. The binoculars went with us land and sea. Looking for the deer as we sat outside became a ritual.
Thank you so much for a wonderful week.

Our return for two weeks was wonderful. We made friends which we hope to have and nurture for the rest of our years! Our home away from home. We hope to return for our third visit in 2012. Have a great year.

It's been a beautiful week in Southwest Harbor! 7 days of wonderful weather allowed us to take full advantage of the park. We hiked new trails and old favorites, enjoyed Diver Eds show, saw several whales (or maybe the same one several times!).
Our best meals were enjoyed here, at the Carriage house, and always ended with S'mores made by the fire. One of our best nights here was the last night: we bundled up and laid on the deck to watch the meteor shower -what an amazing, memorable show!
Thanks for another wonderful week in the Carriage house!

Another lovely summer at Anna's Quietside! The property is so beautifully appointed -so many new touches since last year. A great place to stay and enjoy the wonders of Acadia.
Thanks for a fabulous time.

We had a nice, relaxing vacation. Lots of hikes -including the Beehive trail which is not for the faint of heart. A.J. swam at Echo Lake & Sand Beach and anywhere along the trails he found water.
We loved the Carriage House. We cooked in more than we ate out -salads from the garden, and picked blueberries for pancakes each morning, even a lobster dinner. At the little pond here, A.J. caught frogs and even caught the turtle (gently) and fed the ducks.
We'll be back!

We had a great time in our week here -ocean kayaking, biking in the carriage trails, hiking the Bubbles, Thunderhole, antiquing etc.
Very nice quiet place. Enjoyed the DVD library (Catch me if you can) and the vegetable garden too.
Great weather, great place.

Great place, great weather, beautiful park, a wonderful vacation!
We really loved this cottage and excellant hospitality. Clean house, beautiful garden, library... just like our own home. We have spent our vacations in cottages several times in the past, this one is the best one we have had.
We will come back!
Many thanks to Anna and Marc for the great hospitality!
