8.2/10 Very Good! (1,008 reviews)

The room was spacious, having a recently renovated kitchenette was nice to have--if we stayed longer, I'd definitely take advantage. The hotel is about 30m away from Acadia, and is located in a small strip mall area. Having food options, gas stations, a grocery store, and TJ Maxxx, etc. is all convenient. The bed was comfortable enough, bathroom was clean and recently updated. My only comfort issues was the pillows and the AC. Despite having 3 of them, they were all lumpy with no support. That did affect my sleep. The AC was loud at night and would make a rattling sound despite our best efforts to stop it. A newer TV with streaming options would be nice. All in all, a good option if you need a place to crash after a long day in Acadia.

8.6/10 Excellent! (209 reviews)

When we decided to visit Acadia national park we looked at several different options. This one stood out as the cottages have their own space with fire pits and grills. The staff is super friendly and answer any questions and gave amazing suggestions! On the drive out we ran into a little traffic and when we texted the staff to let them know. They offered to get us supplies so we could relax. I wish we could give them 10 stars! We have decided that when we come up each year this is our spot! Thank you for helping create memories that will last a lifetime!
