A cozy, clean, beautifully decorated cottage situated by the water in a quiet town. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The loft where our child slept was very spacious and comfortable. The lot around the house is safe, quiet and has a large parking area. We saw deer walk through our lot on multiple occasions. The cottage is a short walking distance from restaurants and small shops. The town itself is an 8 minute drive from Acadia's hiking trails and 25 minutes from the visitor center. The trails on the west side of the island are much less crowded than on the east side. Overall, an excellent choice for anyone looking to visit the island while staying away from the crowds.

We had a lovely stay and Christy was available for questions. The property is beautiful and parking is available and easy to manage. We loved the coffee shop that was only a minute walk. Thank you!
