We had a fabulous time at "The Acadia." When we first pulled up to the house/cottage it far exceeded our expectations. The upper deck has an outstanding view of Somes Sound and there is a great hot tub on this deck along with a grill. The house is clean and a beautiful place to stay. All the amenities of home are present and there were many movies and games to entertain our kids. The location is also great and is central to the whole island; Acada National Park is a great place to visit. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here. We had one of our best vacations ever, while staying here!
Owner response:We are so pleased that you had such a great vacation while staying at "The Acadia". Thank you for your comments. We are glad to hear that our efforts to provide a vacation rental that we, ourselves, would want to stay at, have paid off. If you'd like to return to "The Acadia", we'd love to have you back! It is available to rent May through mid-November, with plans to offer winter rentals soon. Plus, we offer a discount to our returning guests. Take Care!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.
