It's a beautiful location, deer came by to say hello, beds were very comfy. It was farther away from where we were visiting than I anticipated but that was in no way the fault of the hosts. A pleasure!

Great place near Acadia!

This cute little cottage was the perfect place for our family to stay as we explored Bar Harbor and Acadia. It’s right on the water on a quiet little street. We loved sitting on the porch every morning and evening. Very easy to communicate with the host!
