The location of this motel was favourable to our liking. Close to all the action , but far enough to be private and peaceful. Very clean and well appointed accommodation. Great communication with staff. We would love to come back some day

What a charming place!!! We rented 7 of their 12 Cottages and Motel Units and had a wonderful week! They provide everything you'd expect PLUS more like Wood/Lighters and Fire starters - or a propane gas firepit if you prefer. Plenty of outdoor space!! The motel units are JUST as spacious and charming as the stand alone cottages - each is well Appointed and remodeled so nicely! Comfy beds, luxurious bedding and well stocked kitchen - we cooked all week! Location is perfect just between Bar Harbor and Acadia's Hull Cove entrance. Access to local beach is great but involves climbing on 5 ft cliff ledge/boulders to get down so only for the younger or fitter crowd. Nice grills and space for Cornhole that they provide! Plus lots of outdoor seating. Great spaces for walking your dogs too! We loved all 7 cottages! Sparkling clean and cleaned upon request.

Hot water was a bit slow to get. It’d take about 5 minutes for the hot water to even start when using the shower. Other than that, this property was very nice. Cute little cottages with everything you’d need for a hiking vacation. The owner was very responsive and nice. Great amenities on the property too which you don’t see in many other places. Will certainly book here again in the future if we return to Acadia.

The cottage was very cute and included all necessities that we needed in the kitchen. It was a 15-20 minute drive to the downtown area. There is a post office and gas station nearby. The property was very quiet. There was firewood, fire pits, and patio chairs for communal use. On the negative side, the shower and really low water pressure and the water didn’t get hot. After it ran for a long time, it ramped up to lukewarm and that’s as far as it got. While the bed was comfortable, it was super squeaky. Every time I rolled over, it protested.

The unit was wonderful! Wasn’t given the door code so I had to call a number on the door at the office. However…it was handled quickly & professionally. A 60 second inconvenience. I will recommend this place!!
