Dog-friendly studio cabin with deck, kitchenette, & fast WiFi - steps to Acadia
7.8 out of 10, Good, (6)
"Bed was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Needs a light over the mirror. Tiny shower, plenty of hot water; well pump short-cycling. Porch smelled musty and porch door sticks. Kitchen was clean, well-lit; one stove burner didn't work; one outlet didnt work; clock didn't work; tiny sink. Dining table needs more light, and ceiling fixture just inside the door flickered constantly. Heater worked well and kept us comfortable. Convenient to Otter Creek Market (seasonal)"

"We loved our stay here - we picked the property because its location on the island as well as the amenities available to us. Having free access to kayaks and beautiful ponds whenever we wanted is an amazing perk of staying here. Also the hosts are great and helped us out with any questions we had about the area, as well as dusted off some of their old toys for our baby to play with! Highly recommend staying here if you want to be on the island within 20-30 mins of everything, and want to be able...

Jones Pond - Rustic Cabin
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (93)
"This is our second stay. When they say 1 step above camping that is misleading. By that I mean, if you have camped, this is 20 steps above camping. You have a stove, refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. It has a screened porch, a deck and right on the pond. There are lights and outlets to charge phones and there is service for phones! This is better quality then most hotels for the money with the exception of no running water and outside (clean) bathroom. So, if you see this and you are...

6.4 out of 10, (12)
"Great location for hiking Acadia NP. Inquired if there was a fire pit, the booking agency said no, but we found out as we were leaving that there was a shared fire pit-disappointed. Stairs to bedrooms were very steep-ok for able adults, but hazardous for children and others. Enjoyed the accommodations and location."
