Clean and cozy place to stay right off the water. Bar Harbor is 20 min from the location so an easy drive to go to dinner or the national park. Would stay there again.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay during an Acadia getaway. My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and loved how quiet and private our stay was. The property is immaculately kept and just a short drive from everything you want to do on the island. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Acadia!

Private cozy cabin just close enough to all of MDI

Quiet cabin on a pristine pond bordered by Acadia National Park. We enjoyed the kayaks for a paddle with a loon, the misty mornings, and the easy drive to Southeast and Bar Harbors.
