This small budget friendly room is ideal to lay your head after exploring the iconic Maine coast. The room is recommended for 1 guest, but we do allow up to 2 people. Located on 2nd floor above property lobby with access via exterior staircase. 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. 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!

This place felt very homey! The room was small but perfect for a couple, and very clean. In the lobby there was an ice maker, water jugs for refilling water bottles, and some snacks that were free to take! There were also yard games, fire supplies, smores kits, and a bunch of other fun things that we unfortunately did not get the chance to use. We checked in super late at night from a long driving day and had no issue getting into our room. We would definitely consider staying here again, hopefully with more time to enjoy the area a bit more!
