Very Good

Gorgeous little cottage with fantastic beds and extra fluffy blankets! Close to the road but even the road noise couldn’t keep us from the best night’s sleep we’ve had in a week of travel!
Overall good a little expensive for what you get but the hotel manager was very nice a really helped me identify where to go to see the waves crashing at Acadia which I’m thankful for.
I stayed for two days and had a wonderful experience. The room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, and the room service was excellent. The location was very convenient—just a short driving distance from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and Bar Harbor. I’d definitely love to return!
The owner was very friendly and put out coffee and donuts for guests in the morning, which is a nice touch as are the various international flags outside welcoming all travelers. The location was convenient to visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia and the motel is right near the new Gateway visitor center (park & ride) which has a free shuttle to see the local sights, which we used several times to avoid traffic and limited parking near popular areas. We had a great stay.
Very budget friendly motel that is incredibly clean. Owner is very friendly and promptly solved our issue with the tv when we arrived. Decent coffee in the morning. The perfect choice for those spending their time in Acadia outdoors and just needing a comfortable, clean room to sleep and shower. Would stay here again.
Great host, wonderful experience and the history of the house. Was very interesting.

Affordable place to stay while visiting Acadia. We spent very little time in the room-really just a place to sleep. Easy drive back and forth to the park. Good selection ot TV stations for wind down after a busy day. I would stay here again
