Cabin was spotless and felt brand new, like we were the first guests. Having the washer/dryer was a huge bonus. Spent three nights with our family of four (two adult kids, 20 and 22 yo), and it was perfect.Highly recommend it. ##### Tom B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex N. Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect home base This cottage was supplied with all the things we could have asked for! This worked out perfectly for a few easy breakfasts before we went out exploring. I found the location convenient too — we rarely more than 15-20 minutes from our destinations around the island. We loved being able to come back and sit around the fire ring!! ##### Alex N. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric C. Oct 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Eric C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol M. Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Carol M.
