Excellent experience on a quieter part of the island. Easy access to everything without the hustle of downtown Bar Harbor.Onsite fire pits, coffee bar, and store access with paddleboards provided plenty of activities in between hikes.

Great Getaway

This property was exactly as described and twice as cute! With an easy 5-7 mins to Acadia park combined with our quiet cabin and well-cared for property, this was an ideal location for us. Kirsten was super responsive to our questions and helpful with her local suggestions. Don't hesitate to book this property!

Bay View Cottages was the perfect place to stay! Our cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was so quiet and peaceful, yet still close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We loved being able to enjoy all the area has to offer and then come back to our own relaxing little home by the bay. Kirsten and Henry were wonderful hosts. We would definitely stay here again!
