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

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.

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.
