Each of Cottage 1’s two bedrooms has a queen bed and a twin bed. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combo is located between the two bedrooms in the hallway. Please note, you do have to walk through the front bedroom to get to the second bedroom and bathroom. The bright & sunny open-concept kitchen space ensures seamless entertaining and includes a fully equipped kitchen offers a dining table that seats 4 or more with extra seating and storage at the counter peninsula. There’s a full-size fridge, gas stove, oven, microwave, a large sink, a coffee maker, a kettle, a toaster, a blender, and a chef’s caliber knife block. The cupboards and drawers are stocked with utensils, dishware, glassware, mugs, cookware, pots, pans, etc. Both bedrooms have nightstands with reading lamps, bureaus, closets, and ceiling lamps with fans. In the bedrooms, you’ll notice the details and charming touches; beautiful quilts, original photography, and collectible posters of iconic local landmarks. The bathroom has been updated with a new vanity, a well-lit mirror, and custom tile and trim and is stocked with towels, washcloths, and hand towels, as well as toiletries, and a hairdryer. We have the luxury of being just feet from the bridge that leads to MDI and Acadia National Park but that also means that we are on the main artery that leads to the park. It gets busy with road traffic from Route 3 and air traffic from the small BHB airport. If you are a light sleeper and want to be deep in nature, this may not be the best spot for you. If you are looking for a relaxed, rustic vibe with what we consider to be the very best location to get to all things Acadia?! This IS your spot. Be sure to ask about earplugs or a white noise machine if you’re concerned about traffic noise. Outdoor Amenities: During warmer months the scenic grounds are vibrant with flower boxes, gardens, lush lawns, Adirondack chairs, and picnic tables shaded by umbrellas and mature trees. Play a game of cornhole, or gather with your group to roast marshmallows around the fire pit; the stars here are so bright at night!

Great location. Cozy place. Would stay here again. Loved having a charger for the Tesla, but it was a little hard to find (behind a golf cart at the time) and there is only one so you might not be lucky. The hosts were great communicating to help me find the charger.

Ok place for a one night stop over between NH and Acadia. Did not exactly look like the photos and there was so much light coming in the windows even with the rain and overcast, I can't imagine how it would have been if that wasn't the case. Overall fine but nothing spectacular. I did like the lending library and borrowed a book.

Great stay! They had nice snacks and a place for people to leave items behind which we benefited from. We wish the weather was better to take advantage of the fire pit. Would bring more people and take more advantage of the place.
