Acadia Cottage by Tidal Falls

Amanda was excellent host and was very responsive to questions. Home was clean, cozy and comfortable for our family of 4 and dog. We enjoyed the proximity to the tidal falls which offered dark skies to observe the meteor showers and aurora borealis. Easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor (approx 45 mins).

Pretty disappointed with this visit. We killed many bugs and spiders. The house had a strong musty smell. The only window AC on the main floor was in a bathroom-keep the door open to cool the main floor. Small tv in the living room for the size of the room. Bathroom rugs were dirty. The beds were in the basement. The room shown on the listing with 2 beds is at the bottom of the steps, no door.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Used the porch every day or evening. Watched Deer and wild Turkeys with their little ones. We drove to the park everyday or Bar Harbor.

My husband, 2-year old son, and I had a wonderful long weekend here. The location was great-- very peaceful, right by a really neat little beach/tide pool area, and about 40-50 minutes from Acadia. The house was very nice and we had a lovely stay.

The entrance was not very clean, leaves and pine needles all over the steps. We couldn’t stay in the master bedroom because there was a pet smell, plus, there is no heat down where the bedrooms were. The dryer is so full of lent, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a fire yet, it took almost 3 hours to dry some jeans. Also, the burners in the stove weren’t working properly, they would heat up, and then lose their heat. Lastly, it is not close to anything except the Tidal Falls.

This cottage is really run down. Paint chipped off of walls and kitchen cabinets. There is no Keurig or equivalent. Instead, you get a black & decker drip machine straight out of the 70s. The view out of the sun room is an old and rusted abandoned pick up truck. I don't know where the ocean was.... we couldn't see it and didn't know where to walk. No dishwasher, and the kitchen faucet was broken. The tv is teeny tiny...24 inches which is smaller that my kitchen tv at home. We paid over $1000 for 2 night stay. Outrageous! If you want to go to Bar Harbor, it's a 40 minute drive.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Amanda was very thoughtful in all the details and amenities. Could not have made our stay any easier.

The photos of the property are accurate. The sun room is beautiful and inviting. There was a nice selection of toiletries and kitchen necessities available. The one complaint we had was the slipperiness of the shower. Otherwise our stay there was great!

only two complaints are lack of dishwasher and shower floor was super slippery (nothing a bath mat couldn't fix)

The property was clean and had all the furnishings we needed. We enjoyed the proximity to Tidal Falls and ease of access to Acadia. The beds were very firm and the smaller bathroom was cramped. There wasn't even a space for a hand towel. But otherwise it suited our needs and was a nice retreat for the weekend.

The house was very clean and even had a little welcome package upon arrival. We cooked a few meals in the house and struggled somewhat with finding pots/pans and utensils to cook with but overall a good stay.
