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...

Comfy beds, luxurious bedding and well stocked kitchen - we cooked all week! Location is perfect just between Bar Harbor...

"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...

"I was very pleased with this vacation rental. The location is great. It is tucked away in the woodlands, but it is only a short drive away from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It is cozy and comfortable, especially after a long day of hiking in the surrounding area. I enjoyed sitting outside and soaking up the late afternoon sun on the outdoor patio. The owners are very friendly and easy to contact. As advertised, there are no cooking amenities, but there are plenty of great eating...

"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."

"Myself and my family stayed at this property for a week. Had a few bumps when we first got there but the property manager was absolutely amazing. Responded immediately and got everything straightened out. The property is beautiful whether you are outside or looking out from inside. Was further than I thought from Acadia but we managed. No issues with the hot water and there were 6 of us. We had fun filled days and very peaceful relaxing evenings. Wonderful rental."

"Amazing stay. The property is conveniently located near a grocery store (2 minute walk) and downtown is only a few more minutes a walk past that. The room is clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent and offered tips for visiting the area and couldn’t have been more friendly. Also, there’s a grab and go breakfast that’s suitable prep for a day hiking in Acadia. I would definitely stay there again. "
