Blackwoods Cottage,Eclectic Maine Cottage


WI-FI
Blackwood's Cottage is a restored Old Maine Cottage ideally located in the Heart of Acadia National Park, ideally located in the little Village of Otter Creek. We did add a large porch for outside enjoyment, this is our favorite place to relax...
This is our idea of a true " Maine summer cottage"
Restored and decorated with love. We can only stay for a few weeks a summer for now
we want to share it with your family and we hope you will find it as enjoyable as we have... It is ideally suited for a couple or a family of 4 . or for 2 couples to share. Or absolutely perfect for a Honeymoon Cottage!!Blackwoods Cottage is surrounded by Acadia Natioanl Park and just steps away from SouthRidge Trail to top of Cadillac Mountain and a short bike ride to
Jordan Pond House where you can hop on many of the best Carriage Trails for a
great ride or a hike to a mountain top, Kayak on the Jordan Pond
For your evening enjoyment we have a firepit in the backyard, just the perfect way to end you evening under the stars!

Delightful Historic Cottage

We had an absolutely delightful stay at this cottage. It has some old world quirks, which we thought made the home even more adorable. The location is perfect, the furniture is cozy and the firepit is just right. We'd love to stay here again!

Beautiful, historic home on a lovely lot in close proximity (about 15 minutes) to Bar Harbor. I could've spent all day long on the patio or around the fire pit. Be aware that the house is over 100 years old and therefore has a couple of quirks- the stairs are a bit steep, and the shower/tub is a little awkward as it has been converted from a clawfoot tub.

Quintessential MainCottage

Wonderful stay at Blackwoods Cottage. It was charming and thoughtfully decorated with all the comforts we needed. The cottage is centrally located with easy access to Bar Harbor, Acadia and surrounding areas. The host Amanda was great and very helpful. Would highly recommend. Make sure you hit Thurstons for a tasty lobster roll. Lots of good breakfast places.

Blackwoods is just beautiful

Wonderful stay , our 3rd year with this property, already booked a 4th. Host Amanda is just great! Close to everything you could want. Provides a quiet getaway but a short drive to seal harbor, close to trails and a short drive to bar harbor. Feels like your secluded but still so close

Perfect!!

Great location, all amenities. Great little cottage close to everything but far from the hustle bustle. The Cadillac mountain trail begins literally just a few yards away which was great for our first day hike. The cottage has all updated appliances which appear in an old style but they’re new, I’ve never seen that before. Added to the charm. The host Amanda, kept us up to date and communicated with us quickly, even turned the heat in for us before we arrived (it was unseasonably cold during our stay in the beginning of June). Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Stay at Blackwoods Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable cottage during our trip to Acadia! It was the perfect size for our group of four, and there would have been plenty of space for a few more. The decor was charming with such cute cottage/cabin vibes throughout, and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The location was amazing. We were within walking distance of the Cadillac South Ridge Trailhead, which we hiked one day and absolutely loved. We also explored the Beehive and The Bowl, as well as other nearby trails like the Gorge Path and Murray Path. After long days of hiking, we relaxed around the fire pit and soaked in the peaceful surroundings.Bar Harbor was just a short drive away, and we enjoyed a few evenings there grabbing dinner and shopping. One of our favorite finds was a local store just up the road in Otter Creek, where we picked up delicious lobster rolls.Amanda was a fantastic host who was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient home base while exploring Acadia!

Perfect cottage experience in Acadia

The Blackwoods Cottage was absolutely perfect for our family. Full of charm and all the amenities you need for a perfect stay. The cottage is conveniently located for quick access to Bar Harbor and to various access points to park loop road. Indoor spaces are well laid out and full of whimsy and immaculate. Kitchen is fully stocked with great counter space. Porch and outdoor spaces are well gardened and just beautiful. Fire pit is perfect for gathering after a long day of hiking to share stories about the day. We also loved the quick walk across the street to access trails to Eagles Crag and Cadillac loop. Amanda was wonderful and provided many recommendations for fun and exploration of the island. We highly recommend and will be returning!

Great location for a trip to Acadia!

We found Blackwoods Cottage to be in a great location for a lot of hiking trails and very close to all the activities in Bar Harbor. The cottage was very tastefully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the use of the very large front porch. Amanda was quick to respond to any questions we had. We highly recommend this property.

Perfect spot!

We had a lovely time at Amanda’s. She’s super helpful and has made a cozy home! It had everything we needed and was quite clean. It's in a perfect location to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor. Definitely consider the Cadillac summit trail as you can easily walk to the beginning. Lots of thoughtful touches and comfort that made this home a wonderful place to stay!
