Perfect Acadia Family Home

Our family of 5 (kids aged 10, 12, 13) loved our stay at this cottage. We spent days hiking then enjoyed having a big home to relax in each evening. Great outdoor area for the kids and closeby to plenty of activities and hikes. An easy drive to the other side of the island for more hikes. Great hosts, exceptional pricepoint for MDI. THANK YOU.

Great stay on the quiet side

My family and I loved our stay in this little cottage. It had everything we needed for to get away for a few days. We found several great hikes nearby, and it was only half an hour over to all the popular hikes near Bar Harbor. We highly recommend the Ship Harbor hike nearby.

Acadia Adventure

We loved this cozy gem on the “quiet side of the island”. It was very easy to get to all of the places we wanted to go and was quiet while being close enough to groceries, a museum, trails and restaurants. The home is older with a wonderful personality as it spoke to us with the floorboard and door squeaks. Each room had comfortable mattresses and a fan for the warmer nights. Each night we walked down to the shore to take in the sunset, a wonderful way to end the day. The owners were wonderful and helped us with an overnight package we needed. If you want to explore Acadia this is a perfect spot to stay.
