I loved my time here at Acadia Cottages. It is also known as Acadia Cottages and each little cabin is a little home. The views are of the forest or the pond. Bullfrogs croak all night and sing you to sleep. I thought I saw one as big as my head but that was my imagination. When Gordon, one of the InnKeepers, said that it was only the size of closed fist, I realised that my imagination thought the frog was bigger. Clean, lovely and smelled of wonderful wood, my cabin was a perfect wilderness get away. They were eco conscious and not only recycles but also mulches! I had a great time.
IMPORTANT: The name here on Yelp is incorrect--if you're looking for "Acadia Cabins," you'll pass right by this place. It's "Acadia Cottages," and the Yelp marker is also in the wrong place. Look for it by address. The office is in a little cabin itself behind the main house with the sign out front. This is a super cute place to stay in Acadia, a great alternative to the overpriced hotels and other, junky, cottage "communities" set right on the highway. The Acadia Cottages (there are about 20 units) are set back from the road behind a private residence (presumably the home of the owners). I cannot write how CUTE this place is. To get a sense of that, you'll just have to view the photos. We stayed in a "studio" cottage--which is just a king-sized bed, a tiny (but well-equipped) kitchenette, and a bathroom. The cottages all appear newly constructed, and--as the previous reviewer writes--are paneled in a lovely wood that provides the a fresh, woodsy smell to the experience. Staying here would be like roughing it, except the owners have thought of EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. Not only do you have a fridge, microwave, 2-burner stovetop, coffeemaker, hot water kettle, cable TV, VCR(!), emergency flashlight . . . but you've got a ton of accessories to go along with it, including a full supply of cookware and flatware, as well as a selection of teas and sweeteners. They even include fresh chocolate/peanut butter-chip cookies on the table when you arrive. It's a 5-minute walk to the shops of downtown Southwest Harbor, and about a 15-minute from downtown Bar Harbor. You're thick in the middle of Acadia, so hiking, biking, and boating, too, are only minutes away. And every cabin has its own little parking space. There is even on-site DIY laundry, free wifi, and two charcoal grills you can borrow from the main office. We really loved our time here. I actually felt like I had been permanently converted to life as a micohome dweller. But, alas, our time at Acadia Cottages had to come to an end. OH--but we'll be back!
Absolutely LOVED our stay here. Beautiful little log cabins equipped with everything you could possibly need...a stove, refrigerator, plates and cutlery. Fresh baked cookies waiting on the table were a really nice touch. Only draw back is these cottages are on the other side of the island away from Bar Harbor and the main Acadia National Park entrance. (Only a 15min drive away though). Would absolutely stay here again!
