Charming cottage with grill, private deck, and stunning ocean views

8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (26)
"This property was conveniently close to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and other area attractions. It was perfect for the six of us with three bedrooms, six beds, two full bathrooms, and a nice kitchen and living area. There was also a deck with a grill. Really, the only downside was a lack of air conditioning, which we could have used during our August visit."

Yurt Glamping on the Quiet-side of Acadia National Park!

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (122)
"We are NOT camping people. This property was so wonderful that we got the full benefits of camping, while still retaining all the comforts of home. We actually used the word “home” a lot told refer to our yurt. The other thing we kept noting throughout our stay was how “thoughtful” every detail was. This place is high quality and truly awesome."

Precipice Tiny House at Acadia Yurts

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (134)
"We had everything we needed for a base camp as we visited a friend and of course spent most of our time exploring Acadia. This was the most economical place we could find and it was a score for sure. Hosts were on site most days and very helpful. Utilized the laundry facility where board games and extra kitchen items were supplied. Thanks for a great stay, we’ll be sure to come back! Cheers."
