Acadia Cottages

I looked around online for a place to stay in Maine. This was my wife’s and my first time visiting bar harbor and I am so glad I found this place. Our cottage (#2) was amazing! Pine walls and ceiling and electric fire place. We are really home bodies so having a place to just relax all the time was important. Everything was clean and pretty much new. They welcomed us with cookies and flowers for our anniversary. We also found out our cottage had a screened in porch to sit on. They also provide you with everything you need! Paper towels, toilet paper, cooking utensils, dishes, hand soap, everything. This was a great vacation and I got to say having a nice quiet place to come home to was really great. They also compost and recycle which we were used to at home so that also was a great discovery. Thank you Tom and Vickie so much! I will definitely come back and let people know about this amazing place.

My fiancé and I recently stayed in cottage 8 and it was simply lovely! I can’t say enough great things about this place. It is located on what’s known as the quiet side and that is 100% true. It was a very tranquil place to stay. The cottage was super cute and clean. They have a wonderful lending library with movies, books, rain gear, etc… I love that we could cook in the cottage if we wanted to, but were also close enough to some eateries. I also love that they compost there. Everyone we encountered on the grounds were lovely. The cottages are close enough to go hiking or to go to Bar Harbor, which is a more touristy area. We would definitely stay there again and I’ve recommended it to a few friends that want to go to Acadia National Park!

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!

I have stayed here on four separate occasions, always in September.
Acadia cottages is in walking distance to food and services of southwest harbor. Though on Main Street the cottages are back in the trees, and up the road so you do not hear road noise. Free wifi or use of a computer in the common room. Cottages have cute interiors, comfortable beds, and many amenities: refrigerator, stove top, microwave, stocked kitchen, TV (have never used it), radio, private baths w/​showers, and bistro table with 2 chairs. I also like the outdoor porches. The only drawback to staying here is that they do allow smoking on the property. Once that prevented us from opening our windows because our cottage neighbor smoked often and that smoke wafted into our cottage. We had to always keep our windows closed even when the weather was beautiful. Another time while enjoying breakfast on the porch in the morning someone decided to have a morning smoke and we were choked out and chased indoors.

IMPORTANT: The name here on Unilocal is incorrect – if you’re looking for «Acadia Cabins,» you’ll pass right by this place. It’s «Acadia Cottages,» and the Unilocal 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!

I rented a studio cottage for two. The cottage is EXTREMELY clean, the interior is very well designed, clean towels are supplied on request, there are chairs outside on a little deck, it is located in the woods away from the main st and a few minutes walk to the village of SH where there are cool little restaurants and shops. I rented a couple of cottages in Cape Cod and NH over the years and this one is the best in terms of cleanliness, convenience and price. Online reservation is very easy, and you don’t have to leave a deposit. I highly recommend this place, will be back again! There is also a laundromat on the premises which I didn’t use and a shed to store your bikes.

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.
