Gorgeous little cottage with fantastic beds and extra fluffy blankets! Close to the road but even the road noise couldn’t keep us from the best night’s sleep we’ve had in a week of travel!

I stayed for two days and had a wonderful experience. The room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained, and the room service was excellent. The location was very convenient—just a short driving distance from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and Bar Harbor. I’d definitely love to return!

Affordable place to stay while visiting Acadia. We spent very little time in the room-really just a place to sleep. Easy drive back and forth to the park. Good selection ot TV stations for wind down after a busy day. I would stay here again

This was not the first time I have stayed here and it won't be the last. Definitely one of my favorite hotels. No its not fancy or has room service or anything like that. But its clean and safe and for an older person safety is a priority. Its on a busy road so its not very quiet. But the location is what makes it easy to get to the hot spots. The owners are fantastic people. Rooms are old but very clean. This hotel reminds me of the places we use to stay when I was a kid. This is a very comfortable hotel. Definitely recommend it

Slept sound which means the mattress and pillows were okay. Also the road noise was not an issue as I feared it might be. I was looking to not spend a bundle for a quick night. It was a little further from the Trenton bridge than I thought, but, overall close enough.

Clean. Quiet. Lock on the bathroom didnt work, and the light functionality was hit or miss. Mattress wasn't the most comfortable but thats okay. Very cost effective option.

A wonderful stay, the host was super nice The address on hotels is very wrong though it took us to. Different hotel they said they get it all the time and handed me a printed out sheet of directions they give to all the clients hotels maps send them. It was about 15 min down the road from there
