The Green Cottage@ Twin Hills Cottages
Welcome to Acadia!
Here is your home away from home as you venture out to explore the DownEast of Maine and Acadia National Park!
This is the listing for the 1 bedroom Green cottage. One of 6 colorful cottages in a row at Twin Hills Cottages of Acadia. A Historic landmark since 1947 on Rt 1 at the gateway to the Acadia area.
Each cottage has its own decor and features a covered porch. This cottage is furnished with a large queen bed. Additional amenities include Mini fridge, coffee pot, microwave, desk space, and a TV with Roku.
Like a hotel room but with more privacy. Why stay in a regular hotel when you can have your own colorful cottage. Each cottage is its own unique space. Private and comfortable featuring a covered porch with outdoor sitting area, 1 queen bed, private bathroom, microwave, mini fridge, coffee machine, flat screen TV, and desk space.
**NO Kitchen
Guests will have access to their own private cottage as well as use of the grounds. There is a shared Fire Pit. There is a spot right down the road that sells camp wood. Please leave the area as you found it. Clean up any mess and make sure the fire is expelled completely before leaving it unattended.
Things to note: -These cottages are bedrooms only and do not have full kitchens. -Parking is directly in front of the cottage leaving the gravel road clear for other cars to pass. -This is one of 7 cottages, 5 apartments and a 5 bedroom house on the property. -The Internet service is slow in the area, it is OK but can be effected by anything from wind to humidity, even connected directly to the router it can be slow and spotty. We are in a wooded area between two large hills outside of town. The service provider is working to expand its coverage and we can only hope it will get better.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a flat-screen TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Good Stay
This was a nice little place to sleep after exploring Acadia National Park during the day. It was about 45 minutes away from the park and 15 minutes away from Main Street in Ellsworth so I did not spend much time on the property, but the room was clean and comfortable.

Absolutely perfect getaway
This colorful cottage was exactly what I needed in my life! The location made me feel safe, which was important as I was traveling alone, and was under 30 mins from the Acadia NP visitor center parking lot! Jonathan had excellent communication, from the time I inquired about a booking, to booking for a different date, checking in and checking out. The wifi was perfect, the bed was perfect after a 14 hour drive, and a day full of hiking-I was well rested and ready for a second fun filled day in the park. I only wish I had a longer stay. I can’t wait to plan another trip back!! Don’t wait any longer to book this cottage to see an amazing national park, you’ll be so happy you stayed here!!
