We had an excellent stay at Driftwood Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and had all of the things we needed. It is located on a quiet road and we really enjoyed coming back to the peace of the cottage every day after being with the throngs of other visitors to Acadia. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Very quiet and comfortable - nice place to unwind after a busy day at Acadia! Only issue was that it was very dark (no outdoor light) when we checked in and the stairs to walk up to front door had no railing (which was a little tricky for my wife and her bad knee).

We enjoyed our stay here while in town for a family reunion! It’s a lovely, quiet spot and the house (clearly recently updated/renovated) is clean, organized, and well-stocked. We also appreciated how dog-friendly it was and loved being such a short walk from the Bass Harbor Light.
