The property is perfectly located in Bar Harbor in easy walking distance of anything you’d want to do in town. The cottage itself was clean, and the host was very communicative. Would definitely stay again!
Driftwood cottage was the perfect location for our family’s vacation to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. Ideally located for walking to restaurants and shops in town as well as for quick access to the park. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Bar Harbor.
This was our 25th wedding anniversary trip. My husband spent several summers in Bar Harbour, Blue Hill, and exploring Acadia. This was the absolute perfect spot to get to all areas and explore the island. It would be hard to return without booking the cottage again! It was perfect for us!
