Please note, the stairs going up/down to the loft bedroom are very steep and should be used with caution. Also, there is a new Ring camera (just installed) on right side corner of the porch outside. It only faces externally and is on a passive setting so we can check weather conditions and snow plowing.

Summary: Amazing stay! Fresh flowers, a note, some sweet treats AND a bucket of ready-made ice- what more could one ask for on arrival?Perhaps some poems? Very cozy place with all the amenities needed. Front porch was a wonderful extension of the space. Bed was super comfortable. Sleeper couch was perfect (no dang bar). We explored the quiet side of Acadia and especially enjoyed the use of the provided paddle boards on Long Lake. Our last morning we woke up at 3am to hike Cadillac Mtn. Visit was too short - need to book again!
