Family vacation
Driftwood cottage was the perfect location for our family’s vacation to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National park. Ideally located for walking to restaurants and shops in town as well as for quick access to the park. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Bar Harbor.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
