Great Getaway
This property was exactly as described and twice as cute! With an easy 5-7 mins to Acadia park combined with our quiet cabin and well-cared for property, this was an ideal location for us. Kirsten was super responsive to our questions and helpful with her local suggestions. Don't hesitate to book this property!

About the host
Hosted by Stephen & Kirsten Henry
We are easy going folks from down east Maine. We have lived in Maine and here on island our whole lives. We excel in concierge services, as we have tried most everything here! We love to hike, bike and boat but most of all we love good food and meeting new people. We purchased business in 2017 but cottages have been here since 1936. You can see more on our website www.baymeadowcottages.com
