Here’s what our guests have said:
“We had a wonderful trip!! Great house for kids as you are able to keep the rooms dark for nap time!! The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved the patio. The creek had plenty of water the my kids spent as much time as possible. Loved the ice machine. Plenty of towels and pillows!!” - Amanda
“Acadia House is a lovely property. There were seven writers staying for the weekend and it was a perfect layout. Plenty of room for each of us to find our own space, inside or out, to write. Kitchen is laid out well for a group to cook and eat in the space. The outside living space is the real gem of this property. The patio and grilling area are all you could want in an outdoor space. The hosts are very responsive to answer questions or fill any needs. Acadia House is our new favorite place for a writing retreat! Highly recommend.” - Joyce
