The hosts were amazing! With advance recommendations on where to hike in Acadia National Park and restaurants they liked. They provide delicious coffee, a very clean snd easy cabin to live in, paddle boards, firewood and fire pits and even have an espresso service in the office cabin. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend Bay Meadow Cottages!
