Stayed in cabin 9. Room was clean, but the hot tub was digusting with a layer of brown slime. The hot tub didn’t get very hot and apparently was put into sleep mode by prior occupants. Fixed, once I complained the next night, but only got one night of use out of 3. The bed was very uncomfortable on one side because there were no supports due to a trundle bed underneath. First night we froze as there were no instructions on how to turn the heat on. Poor communication overall. Water pressure was weak and you had to run the water for 20 minutes before it got hot enough to shower. Very expensive for what you get, stay at a reputable hotel instead.

Cute, clean cabin with extra linens and blankets. Very clean kitchen and bathroom. The only downside is the driveway is rough as others have mentioned, and our cabin was a little hard to park by due to a large tree stump. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pricing and location were excellent.

Hinckleys was just what we needed as a base camp for pur Acadia Adventure. Less than a 5 minute drive to the visitor center and 10 minutes to downtiwn bar harbor. Checkin was a breeze. Amenities were fully sticked in the room upon arrival. Im unsure if the hot tub was properly cleaned because it had an algae smell on the 2nd night. Also, the driveways are all gravel and the site has a lot of potholes so beware of your tires! Overall a greta stay and would recommend for families.

Older, but well kept cabins. Newly renovated bathroom was nice. Kitchen was small. Close to the main road into Bar Harbor so traffic noise could be an issue if you’re not used to it. Pool was not open as it was being renovated. Fire pit was propane not real wood. Staff was helpful even though they would not budge on the the pet fee. Expedia listed the room as pet friendly with no mention of an additional fee, but they insisted on charging $35 per night or $100 flat fee for a 12 lb, non-shedding cockapoo.

We have a newly remodeled cottage and it was very nice and clean! The staff we encountered were friendly. The roads on property were a bit rough but at lease the cottage we stayed in was lovely and would stay there again. Only about a 5-10 min drive into bar harbor and about 10-17 min from Acadia national park.

This place has a lot of potential but needs some work. Cabin 17 has a very strong mildew odor. The key for the door doesn't work properly. The first key wouldn't open the door, and the second key required spending 5-10 minutes trying to jiggle the key to get the door unlocked. The temperatures were in 50f-60f range during our visit, and bathroom was cold. There is a HVAC Split in Main Room, but its install location makes the corner of the room really hot, and the rest of cabin considerabl

We ended up checking in and then leaving & going to Hampton Inn in Bar Harbor. The photos in the ad were very misleading. When we arrived after dark, the front porch at Cabin 1 light was not working & we had a hard time seeing to get into cabin. The furniture in main area was very worn. There were bugs in bedrooms, and the entire cabin smelled very bad, musty & moldy. The swimming pool was covered with tarp & had concrete blocks holding them down. We asked for a refund even for day 2 of our stay, but got no response from management. Stay away from these cabins.

Cabin number eight smelled musty. The air freshener we bought didn’t help at all. Curtains were dirty. Stains on the wallpaper. It wasn’t cheap either. I’d take a pass on Hinckleys until they clean up all of their cabins.

Our first night stay at the property was horrible! We checked in to a smelly and not clean room. The sheet and pillow cover had stain and was not clean! The AC was old and working properly. The next morning got in touch with Expedia customer service to request a refund and to move us to another hotel! After couple of phone calls with customer service and discussing the poor condition of the room the guest service at the property offered us another room for the additional two days/ nights of our stay. The new room was very clean and did not have any issues. It seems the property was acquired by a new owner and they are doing renovations one cottage at a time. So your stay experience differs by the cottage is given to you! Location was good as it is about 10 min drive to Bar Harbor and very close to Acadia park entrance.

We were put in cabin number eight and we’re very disappointed. The bedspread had stains on it. The curtains had stains on them. It was so musty smelling our clothes smelled for a week after we got home even though I put them outside on our porch. Other cabins there have been cleaned up, but not this one. Make sure you are not put in cabin number eight.

This is a hard review. On Hotels website it looked renovated and cute. Our cabin was anything but that. We didnt complain because it was clean and felt safe but what a dump #8 cabin is. Upon checkout the manager said if we had complained he would moved us to a renovated unit. Too little too late. The location was great while visiting Acadia NP. The pool is under construction too. The manager says Hotels pulled pictures from their website and they were trying to be more transparent. I am not loading pictures because they are pretty bad and that doesnt reflect the whole property.

A very dog friendly venue, which was a key consideration in my selection. The cabins are fine. While near a main road road (Rt 3), the traffic noise was not bad. The kitchen/dining area was pretty small, but fine for simple food prep. There were outdoor grills and tables ( which we didn’t use). As a base to go to the park and into Bar Harbor for meals, it worked out well. There was space to walk the dog around near the cabins under the trees, on the grass and in some small wooded areas. The property is undergoing some upgrades ( as of Sept 2025).

It could be easy to list all the things this property wasn't... instead I'll concentrate on what it was. My first unit was renovated... simple, no frills but checked off every anticipated box. So much so that when my visit expired, i asked for an additional day. I was offered 2 units, one renovated and one rustic. I took rustic and saves 75$. It was just fine. Reminded me of the cottage from the 50s...1 room plus bathroom. Money was reasonable for the area... not going to get cheaper unless you're using a tent. That is the facts. Wonderful interactions with management too!

Do not rent from this property without first researching the many reviews that exist for it on different websites. My very poor ratings are based on its high price coupled with the following comments. We chose for proximity to Bar Harbor at a seemingly reasonable price. Very old, very cold at night, shear/see-thru drapes, door with air gap at top and inoperable deadbolt, all appliances (Micro, toaster, coffee maker) all plugged into single outlet. Attempted to use toaster in morning, which set off smoke alarm. Outside views show incomplete and decayed exteriors of other cottages, and swimming pool that appears to have been abandoned while under construction. Asked twice for owner to call me about our Expedia 4-day deal, but never called. We purchased other accommodations after the first nite. After searching other reviews on numerous sites, I discovered that this is pretty common reaction to this property.
