Great place to stay! Not within walking distance of the harbor, but a nice out of the way place. Property was comfortable and in excellent condition!
A lovely place to stay, very close to everything, but far enough away to have a peaceful stay.

A cute place to stay not far from Acadia or downtown Bar Harbor but away from the congestion. Place was clean and had everything we needed. Was able to check in early as the staff texted us when the room was ready.

Spacious, adorable little cottage a 9 minute drive from Bar Harbor. A quiet area that was great for evening strolls. The fire pits & BBQs were a great addition.
