Great location to the National park, view of water out our window, comfortable and clean room. We visited with two different housekeepers who were so friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside was the breakfast area, which was a grab and go—-yogurt and granola bars ( maybe something else) coffee and tea. There was a toaster but no bread.

Good but pricey

The room was very nice, with plenty of coffee and snacks. The price is high though, we paid close to what we paid for the Keltic Lodge.

This was a really nice property. They had a lot of extra things like treats in the room and a shared kitchen we weren’t expecting. Rooms were really nice. We were able to walk to several restaurants.

The Archie & Isidore has a lovely self-check-in system -- they text you to let you know when the room is ready and you find the key in your room. The hotel is right on the Cabot Trail and you can easily walk around town. Several restaurants are within an easy 5-to-10 minute drive, and casual dress is always appropriate. The Adirondack chairs on the front porch are a lovely spot to sit, sip a drink, and people-watch. Although we didn't use it, there's also a hot tub available. We thoroughly enjoyed the comfy bed, the quiet, and the fresh air. If you have time, be sure to stop by The Trois Pignons museum just up the road and learn about the hooked rug tradition of the Acadian area.

The room and surroundings capture a peacefulness. It’s a unique place to stay with a cozy room and lots of extras and upgrades that made you feel special. Worth the price to experience.

A gorgeous and wonderful stay

This accommodation included every little detail that made it extra special. The host anticipates guest needs very well. We especially enjoyed access to the hot tubs, a great amount of towels and robes, the in-room coffee and snacks, the amenities in the main house, quality bath products. Our only feedback would be that a 10 AM check out is a little bit early compared to other properties, as is a 4 PM check in (however, the property manager allowed us an early check-in, so we were very happy with that after long travels.) We hope to stay again in the future, it was so so great!

Air con is very noisy, but road gets noisy early morning if you have windows open instead - the property supplies ear plugs which is a good effort

Comfortable and cute

This was our getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary. We loved the outdoor hot tub. Nice comfortable robes provided. Even some complimentary snacks. We will be back.
