Beauty on the bay

My hubby and I loved our peaceful stay on the water. The fall foliage was just coming out and the water birds, seals and boats were so fun to watch. Easy trip into Bar Harbor and Schoodic point. Plus - so much great food so close. We hope to be back again!

Quiet Cabin On the Bay

Great location away from the busy tourist areas of Bar Harbor, yet close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP and some off the beaten path places to eat...the local restaurant down the street is a rating of 5 out of 5 for food and service.

Acadia Vista

This wonderful cottage lived up to the recommendations that we had read on-line! The cottage was well equipped and stocked with everything that we needed. Communication with Susan, the property manager, was fantastic and very helpful. The views were outstanding! We watched seals every morning playing in front of the cottage. We also saw gulls, loons, eagles and cormorants! The beach area (not the typical sandy beach) was fun to explore! We found numerous shells and sea glass! We would return to stay here again and hope to do so in the future!

Great little cabin

This is a great place to use as a relaxing home base to visit the Acadia area. The house is clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. The views are incredible and it is very quiet and peaceful. For a small family it is perfect.
