* The queen beds in both rooms are Sealy Posturepedic. All beds are made up with hotel quality 100% OEKO-TEX linens, which means they are certified to be free of harmful substances and made ethically in a certified, socially compliant and awarded factory.

Outside areas

* Enjoy a lobster feast or BBQ on the picnic table with all the accoutrements provided (melamine plates, cups, lobster pot, lobster crackers and picks). Then sit around the firepit, roast marshmallows, and tell tall tales. On a clear night you can see more stars than you can imagine, the milky way, and even shooting stars!

* The tidal Jordan River is just steps from the back porch, and has a put-in for kayaks and canoes. It is a short paddle from here into Frenchman Bay with gorgeous views of Mount Desert Island. (You can order boats delivered by a local outfit ahead of time and keep them here during your stay.)

English
I have loved Maine since I was a little girl and spent many summers traipsing around Mount Desert Island, playing in the surf, and hiking just about every mountain peak. I moved here full time after I retired a couple of years ago. Best thing I've ever done, and I can't wait to share the wonders of Acadia National Park with my guests.

Getting around

Car is recommended but the free Island Explorer bus right down the street is a great way to see the park while avoiding the seasonal parking issues. Visit the Acadia National Park website https://www.nps.gov/acad/index.htm to plan your trip and purchase a park pass online.

Bangor airport is about an hour away, and the smaller Bar Harbor Airport is right down the street. Airport shuttles and taxis are available. You can catch Uber or Lyft from Bangor but they are less available near the Island.
