Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The property is perfectly clean and they did a great job designing it. Perfect for a couple that wants to sit, read a great book and relax. Unfortunately we were not able to stay once we arrived. We had a misunderstanding upon booking. But the owner took care of everything immediately and refunded our money 100%. So I really appreciate that. About 45 min to Bar Harbour but very close to one of the entrances to Acadia. If you are looking for a peaceful stop, this is your place.
