Cute Cottage

Very nice cottages privately set back from the road. 15 minutes from Acadia and 20-25 to Bar Harbor. We spent most of our stay in one of those areas. There’s not much around the cabin so the short trips are necessary but easy to navigate. The cottage was comfortably sized and had a nice kitchen.

Awesome place to say while exploring Acadia.

College friends came to hike and bike Acadia. Great, conveniently located place to get to various points in Acadia and hang out in Bar Harbor. Very clean. Great communication with host when we had questions. If renting and coming at night you might miss the sign for the cabins. Just look for the small, local market/merchantile. Entrance is right across the street. Great place. Highly recommend!
