Listen to wildlife sing at The Birdhouse of Maine! You'll be just a short drive away from the wonderful Arcadia National Park, where you'll be able to hike on its many breathtaking trails and enjoy the sights. Take a walk down to the shores of the beaches and relax for a while with a cold drink in hand as you bask in the sun. You'll be in luck: the Claremont Hotel is right next door, with fantastic dining options, a small bakery, and a bar.
This quaint home offers all the comforts and amenities you'll need in order to relax. Inside, you'll find beautiful paintings of birds hung up on the walls, along with comfy furnishings in the small but humble living area. Cook up a delectable meal in the fully equipped kitchen or throw some patties onto the gas grill for some classic American barbecue. After you're done dining alfresco and enjoying the view right from the comfort of your deck, head inside and pop open the board games with your family and play until the sun comes up.

Cottage style home on the non-congested side of Acadia
Overall, the stay was fine. For awareness, this listing is marketed on VRBO, but actually another property manager, Vacasa, manages everything. It can be a little confusing.

Lovely Stay
My family had a lovely visit in August. We enjoyed the close proximity to the restaurants and shops in Southwest Harbor and hiking the nearby Ship Harbor Trail. We also enjoyed looking at the stars snd watching the crabs on the beach at night. The cottage had plenty of AC for the warmer days, and enough cozy space for our family of four.
