The purpose of our trip was to stay somewhere reasonably close to hike and explore Acadia National Park for a few days. There were 5 of us - 4 adults and an 11-year-old. This cottage was the perfect place. It was nestled on a quiet street, bountiful with nature - saw deer every day. It was literally steps from a beach. Not a sandy beach, but a gorgeous rocky beach that we could access - and we went down there every day - to see the amazing view and watch some ships. Cranberry Cottage exceeded all of our expectations. It was plenty comfortable for the 5 of us and was definitely close enough to explore all of Acadia National Park. Beds were comfortable, cottage was VERY clean upon our arrival and the hostess really thought of all of those unique touches to make us feel right at home. On that note, our hostess was 5 out of 5 stars. She was very easy to communicate with; she shared an abundance of area and cottage information ahead of our arrival making it that much easier when we arrived. And this cottage was super easy to get to. We got stuck in traffic on our journey and was not able to arrive until nearly 11pm. Check-in was a breeze and even in the pitch black of darkness, it was so easy to get to the cottage and get unloaded and relaxed. We know without a doubt that when we find ourselves back nearby Acadia National Park, or anywhere near Southwest Harbor for any reason, Cranberry Cottage is the only place we will stay. Thank you for the amazing stay!!Kristi B.
