My husband and I spent 4 nights at Acadia Cottages and had a great experience. Our cottage had a king bedroom, a bathroom, and a large room that consisted of a living area, kitchen, and dining area. The cottage was in perfect condition, immaculatly clean, modern, and decorated with charm. The owners had thought of everything ... plenty of places... More

For the size of this cottage, the prize can't be beat. Our 1 BR cottage was closest to the road. Cars were audible as the night went on, it got quieter. The non-screened entry door is in the middle and takes you directly to the bathroom with a camp-sized one-person shower stall. The master bedroom is well laid out with... More

This place is out of town, in a much quieter part of the island. It's really nice to be away from the Bar Harbor scene, but still have the option to go hang out there. The cabins are VERY clean, in great shape, well maintained and include all the amenities. The owners are fantastic, very knowledgeable and gave us great... More

We arrived late in June 2012 for our visit to Acadia. Acadia Cottages is in the perfect location if you're looking for a quiet escape, but close to local shops and restaurants. The ride to Bar Harbor was about 30 minutes. We rented a studio, with plenty of room for two people. There was a full bath - with a... More

We arrived on 6/17/12 and checked out on 6/20/12. We would have liked to stay longer. First thing I said was, "I could live here". It is immaculate, has everything you would need and plenty of space to put your "stuff". We were there to visit family in the area, so we came and went during the day, but would... More

Acadia Cottages is located on the quietside of Mount Desert Island, away from the street traffic of Bar Harbor during busy season. My husband and I loved the cottages for the quiet and privacy you don't get in a hotel or motel room stay. We rented a studio, which was perfect for two people, it had a nice clean kitchenette...

Wonderful owners! The cabin was immaculate and it's great to see that they recycle. Also nice to have no smoking policy for the entire area. Always stay at Acadia Cabins when traveling to Acadia.

After staying at numerous different cottages on Mt.

We have two small children, twins, and it is difficult to find a cottage layout that allows the parents to have their... More

Cabins were great. Comfortable, clean and cozy. The location can't be beat. Quieter than anything near Bar Harbor, but only a few minutes drive form the main park itself. Southwest Harbor and the "quiet" side of Mount Desert Island have so much to see! If you are a photographer, pro or hobbyist, lots of inspiration from Gordon's spectacular work! Everything... More
