This cottage was the perfect getaway. Close to everything but far away from it all. This was the perfect getaway and the property manager, Penny was beyond responsive.

It was a pleasure hosting you, Debra! Thanks for staying with us and come back again!
This is in a great location, near Acadia NP, a short and easy 10 minute drive to the visitor's center. The cabin is located in a quiet, private setting. A perfect place for 2 or a small family. I would definitely and highly recommend this cabin
My friends had a great time here! Everything was beautiful and clean. The location was great too because we could easily get to anywhere we needed to. We also really enjoyed the community fire pit and ping pong table
We had a wonderful stay and this cottage suited our needs as a 5-person family perfectly. Enjoyed the amenities like the community fire pit and ping pong table. The site was also conveniently located near all the parts of Mt. Desert we visited.
Very cozy and clean cabin in a great location that is close to everything you plan on seeing in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The cabin and property was very thoughtfully planned out, from a guest book and information binder in the cabin, to a fire pit and stargazing area for the residents. There was also a convenient washer dryer in the cabin, and a great screened in porch to enjoy mosquito free! The kitchen was well equipped for enjoying eating in. Penny was great at communicating during our stay for any needs we had. This property was a great find for my wife and I, and we will return again!
When we arrived at Camp Tinker, we immediately noticed the pleasant and welcoming smell. Everything was very clean and the place was stocked with everything we would need for our stay. In addition to having laundry pods stocked, they also had dishwasher pods, and all the necessary cookware if we chose to cook. The location was very convenient as it was far enough away from the business of the town but also close enough to make it easy to get to town. There was a cute little book that you could share your experiences of what you've done in Bar Harbor, but I did not have a pen on me to write in it. We did so many wonderful things I would have loved to share. I would come back to Camp tinker in a heartbeat! Thank you for the accommodations.
Nous avons passé un très bon weekend au Clos des 2 Lys. Le logement est très bien équipé avec un fabuleux espace extérieur. Merci à toute la famille pour'accueil chaleureux qui nous a été réservé. Nous avons adoré notre petite pause au vert dans ce lieu qui favorise la détente.
