    The property had not been cleaned when we checked in. By the time the owner got back to us we had already checked into a hotel at double the price. We are disputing the charge as the owner would not refund our payment.

    This cabin had the basics we needed in a home base to explore Acadia NP. We met the owners in arrival and they're very nice, welcoming people with a long history in the area (he literally wrote the book on it, it's in the cabin). Nothing fancy, but it had a kitchenette, firepit, grill, and nice views of the narrows. The water heater is very small (good for 1.5 showers.back-to-back). The main downside is that the cabin sits just 50 feet off US-1, the main thoroughfare through that area, which makes it quite noisy if you're looking for a remote getaway. Overall, it was a nice stay and convenient to the area attractions.
