The cabin was very clean and cozy and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. The screened in porch was perfect because you could sit there at night and not get bit up by bugs. The host was very responsive to our questions and concerns!My girls had a blast and it was a nice home base for exploring Acadia National Park.Thank you for hosting us!

We had a very short stay and wish we could have had more time here. We will definitely share this place with our friends and if we visit Maine again, we will definitely book with you.

Great place!

Great little cottage in a very quiet area. If you don’t mind a bit of a drive back and forth to Bar Harbor it’s perfect. The property itself was fantastic! Had everything you could need.

The cottage was a great for our family of 5. Very clean and still had that "new car" smell. Had everything we needed for our short stay. Recommendations for food were on point.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed staying at this property! The owner provided all the information we needed well in advance so there were no surprises. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay - even enough coffee for that first pot! The beds were so comfortable that I was actually sad to leave them even through we had a lot of fun activities planned. The trail that was behind the cabin was not only very clearly marked but was also meticulously maintained. You can tell that the owners put a lot of time and effort into making this an enjoyable path and we really appreciated it! The only things I can think of to make it slightly better would be to have two fans instead of one (one for each bedroom). Everything else was awesome and we'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

This cabin was perfect base for seeing Bat Harbor and Acadia as well as many small towns in the area and lighthouses! Lots of shops and restaurants to explore! Lovely cabin in a secluded lot with all the amenities covered!
