Summary: This vacation was perfect. After the first weekend there was no one else staying on the lake near us except the resident loons. Acadia was not at all crowded and the Island Explorer bus system was convenient and easy to use. The dormitory under the eaves is where we chose to sleep so we were able to see the lake, see the full moon, hear the loons, and enjoy the sunrise right from the comfort of our beds. The fire pit was right next to the lake and we used it almost every night. The cottage was rustic but comfortable and spacious. The main sitting area was cozy and inviting. The weather was perfect for swimming the first week and perfect for hiking and bonfires and sightseeing the entire trip. The leaves were changing throughout our stay, so we got to see some fall color. Whale watching from Bar Harbor was the highlight of the trip as we spotted harbor porpoises, white sided dolphins, common dolphins, humpback whales, and even two right whales who are severely endangered. I recommend this property to anyone, whether adults or families with kids and pets. It is perfectly situated to easily reach Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and plenty of other destinations in the blueberry growing region or along the coast. Nova Scotia is also just a ferry ride away. It was a real downeast Maine getaway!
