Everything we needed

Location was easy to access but set far back enough from the road that you didn't notice the cars going by. My son loved the playground we could walk to in under a minute, and the toddler toys in the back yard. Clean and comfortable. Easy 10 minute drive to Bar Harbor. Hope to stay here again soon!

Wonderful place in a very convenient location!

Clean, convenient, and pleasant place to stay, near some of Acadia's best spots (Thunder Hole, Seal Harbor, various gardens). Two doors down from a nice playground (great for the under 5 crowd) and directly across a convenient market that serves lobster dinners. What more could you ask for?

Family Trip

We had a lovely stay with all the amenities and space for a family group with multiple young children. Being so close to the Acadia Park Loop road, Island Explorer bus stop and a quick drive into Bar Harbor made our week easier and more flexible with time. Lots of great space for the kids and everyone to enjoy! Thank you so much.
