The cottage was perfect for our 4 night stay. Everything was very organized and well thought out for a small space. Our family of 4 enjoyed the screened in porch as well as the trail to the beach. We were a short drive away from everywhere we wanted to go.

Amazing little getaway

This was a great place to stay for our little family while visiting the Bar Harbor/ Acadia area. The cabin was comfy and more than enough room for a family of 3. Everything was stocked well, very clean and well thought through with renters in mind. Both Bar Harbor and Acadia were about 10 minutes away and easy to get in and out of. The hike from the cabin was a perfect way to go see the sunset. Would absolutely stay again if we are in the area!

We loved our stay here. It was a small cottage but perfectly set up to comfortably accommodate my family of four. It was very peaceful and we loved the screened porch. We walked the impeccably maintained trail twice to Hadley Point Beach and enjoyed some ice cream from the freezer at the office. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of detergent for the laundry machines. It was close to a delicious lobster place that we ate at twice and several other places to eat, get coffee or ice cream. Bar Harbor was a short drive away. We were happy not to be staying in the middle of the busyness of Bar Harbor. I was worried about not having a king sized mattress but the queen mattress was a very comfortable memory foam that didn't move when you turned over so no one's sleep was disrupted. This place is perfect!
