Cute little cabin, very clean and new. Front porch with chairs and a view of water and woods. Friendly lady at the desk in main building. No free breakfast due to time of year. Near Acadia and several restaurants by car. Very private and quiet area. Parking right next to cabin which was convenient.

Quaint cabin that served our needs very well. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets while overlooking the bay and the use of the deck chairs in the morning while sipping coffee. Would have been nice to have a few more k-cups for the first morning, but cleaning staff did get us more for the rest of our stay. Our only complaint is that the access road into the property is badly in need of being graded or have the potholes filled, other than that, we enjoyed the area and the cabin very much!

Beautiful property. We stayed in a cabin. Close to the Schoodic part of Arcadia National Park. Really great restaurants nearby. The continental breakfast was ok. I would bring some food next time. We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay. Amazing sunsets, an outdoor patio to eat breakfast & look at the water. We went to Acadia/Bar Harbor in the morning & it was about an hour drive. Left 6:30 & the park was pretty empty until 11 am. 2nd day explored Schoodic part of Acadia (down the road/close by). Great continental breakfast. I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay and the spectacular views. The cabin was cozy and well kept. The staff was very responsive and polite. My suggestions would be for a small microwave (couldn't reheat leftovers), comfortable chair inside the cabin and maybe an inside door lock to secure the door. Enjoyed Bar Harbor and small venues locally.
