Clean and cozy place to stay right off the water. Bar Harbor is 20 min from the location so an easy drive to go to dinner or the national park. Would stay there again.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay during an Acadia getaway. My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and loved how quiet and private our stay was. The property is immaculately kept and just a short drive from everything you want to do on the island. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Acadia!
Perfect place for two people exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor! Loved coming back to such a peaceful and quiet cabin at the end of a busy day. Super clean and had everything we needed. Very easy check in process and great communication with host!
Beautiful home and location. Perfect for 2 people looking to relax in a peaceful atmosphere yet close to Acadia and Bar Harbor for daytime adventures.9
A very clean and cozy cottage, perfect for our trip to Maine for our anniversary. We loved the location and it was a beautiful view. We had a wonderful stay.
The boathouse is a beautiful place to stay. Just sitting in the quiet overlooking the lake is enough to bring me back. I am glad there was not much available on the other side of the island as it was busy. Staying in this side of the island and driving to bar harbor gave us a chance to explore the island on our way over. Very much recommend this place, it is all it claims to be.
We enjoyed the peaceful pond and access to the boats. The boathouse was cozy and stocked with comforts of home. The bed was very comfy too.
Location to Acadia and Bar Harbor were perfect!
The Boathouse was just the perfect place for my husband and I to stay while exploring Acadia. The view from the dock was so serene and the perfect spot to enjoy a good book. The Boathouse itself was just the perfect amount of space for two. The home was clean, heating/cooling system worked great, bathroom was spacious, and close to bar harbor and other Acadia area attractions. Would definitely stay again.
The cabin was cozy and the setting was beautiful. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and just a 15 min drive to an active downtown (Bar Harbor).
If you’re looking for the perfect place to refresh and unplug, this is it! It is in close proximity to local attractions while remaining peaceful, as it’s located on a pond/ lake! Don’t pass up this perfect getaway!
The property was fantastic! A comfortable cottage on the lake with all the amenities that you need to use as a base camp for your Acadia adventures!

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! Boathouse is truly a gem, perfect for a couple looking for a remote get away but close enough to enjoy all that Acadia has to offer. We hope to host you again in the future!
