Overall the property is very nice. We took a vantage of the kitchen and the outdoor grill and made several meals. My children enjoyed the lawn games and the fire pit.

I can’t speak to the cottages. We stayed one of the 4 units above a garage building. It’s old and we knew that. But it could use some love. There seems to be a shortage of electricity. The lights were constantly going dim and our A/C until slowed every time an A/C unit (I presume) kicked off and on in the building. Beds were fine. Towels were a bit thin, but I grabbed some better ones from the laundry area in the lodge (basically a large house). You do have open access to the lodge which has kitchen, laundry, sitting areas, etc. I met one staff member and she was super nice. Biggest complaint was we got some outdated email saying “come into the lodge and find your key”. Well we got in at 9:45 and no key, no one around, and phone number in the email was disconnected. So we're freaking out at this point. Turns out we were supposed to be given a door code through VRBO which never came. Luckily the door was unlocked when we checked it. Bottom line, it was a value price and a value experience.

The room was nice. Having the use of the main house kitchen was certainly wonderful. About 15 min to Bar Harbor. Thanks for a great stay in Maine!

The location is very convenient - right near the entrance point of the Island.

It's an old building and has some quirks but we were comfortable and felt very safe.
