Great views from the Main Office deck! We enjoyed our coffee on the deck while looking out at the ocean and beautiful fall trees! Great place to stay, would stay again if I am in the area.

Amazing place to stay over if you like quite place.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the cabin and property. As described. Beautiful view. Great location. The only thing we would suggest was maybe investing in more plush towels and maybe a pair of robes to enhance the experience.

It was a nice stay in the nuture!
Prashant, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were looking for places around Bar Harbor to stay, and this did not disappoint. It’s an hour away, but honestly, we liked it better than being in the town. The space was much higher quality than even the pictures show. Very clean, quaint, with great amenities and a view you can’t beat. Plus the owners send texts with recommendations and have an amazing guest book. We had everything we needed and more.

Thomas, 4-night trip

Place was clean, views were outstanding but we didn’t see anyone until the next day. Also (this may have been operating error but) we thought we were in a cabin but ended up in the lodge… they did give good recommendations for breakfast, dinner and Schoodic loop…

Cabin get away

Water-view from cabin and trail to the water were amazing. Our stay was quiet & peaceful.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, quiet, private cabin with water view. I liked the ease of check-in (we were assigned a code to enter the cabin). We received assorted texts for special hikes, scenic locations and restaurants nearby which we found helpful. The only suggestion is to put a dresser and luggage rack (we had to put our bags / suitcases on the floor). Could also use more hooks. Overall, a wonderful stay. Thank you!

Great place to get away

Quiet clean cabins away from the crowds of Acadia. Close to several restaurants and good hiking trails. About an hour away from the main part of the park- and its crowds. Very comfortable.
