Very close to park
We really liked this cottage. It was only a couple miles from the park entrance but away from crowded Bar Harbor. Communications with the property manager was easy and all done by text. I would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely setting
LOVELY SETTING! Loved the outside area which had picnic tables, chairs around a fire pit and also a gas pit. We took some walks around the neighborhood and down one street was a beautiful view of the water. We were with another couple and decided we would definitely come back here. The cottages were very clean and cute. Loved our stay!

A newly renovated funky motor lodge. Rooms were fresh, clean and nicely decorated. The area outside is really sweet with fire pits, and grills and a hammock! So nice that you can prepare meals, and not have to eat out at a restaurant for every meal! Also, it is very close to an entrance to Acadia National Park so you can really avoid traffic if you want to. Loved it.
