My dog and I had a lovely few days here! They had great communication which made “check in/out” stress free. Definitely felt like a home away from home. They were also thoughtful enough to provide send suggestions for things to do and places to eat! Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful cabin. View from the cabin is breathtaking. If you want to avoid all touristy crowd from Main Street and relax and unwind, this is your place. Stuff are good. Breakfast is a plus. Only downside is the distance from bar harbor town. If you won’t mind driving an hour, this place is highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay and the spectacular views. The cabin was cozy and well kept. The staff was very responsive and polite. My suggestions would be for a small microwave (couldn't reheat leftovers), comfortable chair inside the cabin and maybe an inside door lock to secure the door. Enjoyed Bar Harbor and small venues locally.

Beautiful quiet location close to the area of Acadia we wanted to visit. I was unable to use my chair at dining table. There was bolt missing. I reported it and didn’t worry about it since short trip. But the noticed my husband chair was also missing bolt. Not major deal but found it odd that both chairs were not secure for usage.

Diana

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Overall it was a good experience. This is a place to disconnect, unplug and be still after a day of not being still. Staff is only there during breakfast hours. Which led to guests having to explain to the newcomers the check in process. Which is basically cause people just don't read. One guy deleted every text thinking it was spam. Continental breakfast.The family style of everyone and their children touching communal butter, cream cheese, pb and jelly was a little off-putting. Be aware that there are no room TVs. The provided toiletries are in the form of a 3 in 1 soap. You will need to climb stairs with very small and deep steps of you stay in the inn. Grocery stores are not nearby, so come prepared.. If you drive by Ellsworth... That's where you need to stop. The view is amazing and everyone was nice. Plenty of space to just sit and enjoy the view. I stayed in the inn rooms not the cabins.

Loved the property — it was clean, well-maintained, and offered a stunning sunset view. However, it’s not very baby-friendly. The kitchen area was extremely small, making it difficult to even prepare quick meals for a baby. The garbage bin was also quite limited, which became an issue for disposing of baby diapers during our 3-day stay. We had booked the property assuming on-demand cleaning services were available (as listed on Expedia), but since it’s a self-serve apartment, there was no support on-site. When we contacted the operator through the number provided, we were informed that no cleaning services were available before checkout. Except for service, I would say its definitely a nice place to stay especially if you are not traveling with baby.
