Adorable cottage, clean and comfortable. Close to the park and easy drive to town. The barn, coffee, and blueberry pie were awesome! Great recommendations from the staff on activities and restaurants.

A delightful stay. Everything so clean and pristine, it seemed like we were first to ever stay in the cottage. From the top-shelf bedding, the excellent coffee to enjoy on the unit’s deck overlooking the bay, to the blueberry pie - a very comfortable and quiet place just down the road from the entrance to the Atlantic’s Crown Jewel - Acadia! Stephen and Kirsten are most gracious and friendly hosts. Highly recommend.

Charming, quiet and serene cottage

We stayed at Bay Meadow Cottages for 3-nights in late July… experiencing a wonderful and charming stay. Close enough to Acadia and Downtown Bar Harbor, but far enough to remain serene and quiet. Interaction with the owner and staff was pleasant, helpful and informative. The sleeping and kitchen areas of our cottage (“Rusticator“ - summer dweller) was well-designed. Our only regret was not staying longer…and having another slice of blueberry pie.
