Very close to park
We really liked this cottage. It was only a couple miles from the park entrance but away from crowded Bar Harbor. Communications with the property manager was easy and all done by text. I would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely setting
LOVELY SETTING! Loved the outside area which had picnic tables, chairs around a fire pit and also a gas pit. We took some walks around the neighborhood and down one street was a beautiful view of the water. We were with another couple and decided we would definitely come back here. The cottages were very clean and cute. Loved our stay!
