The property was perfect for us. We rented all 3 houses for our family. The views were stunning and the location was excellent. We enjoyed the dock/ water as my kids brought kayaks and the pool was a wonderful gathering spot. I highly recommend for larger families!

The most amazing cottages!!

We had 9 people of all ages in our family stay and these cottages couldn’t have been any better for a family trip! They had everything we needed plus the most beautiful shoreline and just 5-15 mins to restaurants, Bar Harbor and Acadia. Each cottage was comfortable and well equipped with plenty of parking. We would absolutely stay there again!

Setting, beautiful.Cabins, excellent to adequateLocation relative to Bar Harbor, okOcean access, spectacular new dockAdvertised pool, below expectation. Onle half the pool working and solar heater not working. This was very disappointing with two three year olds looking forward to a nice pool.

Hi Paul, Thank you for leaving a review and our sincere apologies for the pool mishaps. The unusual amount of rain this spring has made it very difficult to get all working properly, especially without sun for the solar system. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular new dock and setting. Best, Marla

Something For Everyone

A quiet compound of 3 homes set at the end of a lane opening to a spectacular view of Eastern Bay just off Frenchman Bay. Waking to fog and sipping coffee on any of our 3 porches. Watching playful otters, porpoises while sitting on the dock. Family members enjoyed the use of the paddle board and kayak. Drive to Acadia Park just up the road and so is Bar Harbor. Kids played in the pool while adults lounged in comfortable pool furniture. Kitchen had necessary items for cooking and eating. Each home had its own unique decor with plenty of towels for bathing and swimming. Home owner has provided much more than expected. Spent a lot of time reading on the dock and even bought fishing license to catch crabs and pick up mussels. Made for a very tasty dinner. Several evenings we used the firewood sitting around the fire pit. Our last evening several of our group sat on the dock to watch fireworks across the water. This location was ideal for our 3 families, separate homes for sleeping, yet bigger home great for meals and altogether time. We highly recommend renting. Finding a place for our 3 families isn't easy and we all agreed this was perfect.
