If you love the ability to walk everywhere, and love antiques without sacrificing modern conveniences, then this is the place for you! Our recent trip to Bar Harbor for our anniversary and the fall foliage, was perfectly paired with the stay at Thankful Cottage. Everything we needed for a relaxing week was included ! Just bring your own food and drink, or eat out at the many wonderful restaurants a minutes walk away, as we did. Honestly, it was the most relaxing vacations I have had in a long time. The king bed was extremely comfortable and made up prior to our arrival. The gas fireplace was instant and inviting, the parking, especially for our huge truck was easy in and out and right in front. The bar to Bar Island was a few minutes walk away, and lobster everywhere in a minutes walk as well.. Cadillac Mountain for sunrises, and sunsets , both of which draw crowds and are awe inspiring, was only a ten minute drive to the entrance, which made it an almost daily ritual for us. So many day trips that were a half hours ride away, made the cottage a perfect home base. We will definitely stay here again. Sherry Rasmussen ,the lovely owner ,made sure that everything was perfect for our stay. Her gracious hospitality was greatly appreciated. Hope to return soon!!
