Otter Creek Acadia House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Find a bright, airy retreat in the midst of Acadia National Park at this 3-bedroom Mount Desert home, a family-friendly escape with a sunny deck and an outstanding location for hikers, kayakers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts!

You'll find this home in the small community of Otter Creek, which is bordered on all sides by Acadia's serene landscapes. Get up before dawn to catch the sunrise on the Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail down the road, hop on the nearby Park Loop Road to see Acadia's highlights, and sit down for a wonderful dinner or two in downtown Bar Harbor five miles north.

The living space was seemingly designed for a family, offering casual, comfortable furnishings, and free WiFi. Begin each morning with coffee and breakfast in the kitchen (with a dishwasher), and spend the day hiking the Ocean Path or whale-watching off the coast. Come home to enjoy dinner on the deck, and retire inside for a night of board games and movies on the two flatscreen TVs.

Come and discover one of Maine's most majestic landscapes!

Great location, lots of potential, needs better cleaning, and updates.
Stove was greasy, pink mold inside the 5 dehumidifiers, grass needed mowed, 100s of dead ants in game room/garage that could easily be swept up, cobwebs in windows. Emptying 5 dehumidifiers that filled up in less than 24 hours got old quick! Not really what I thought I was paying for. This house is in great location and has a lot of potential but needs a good clean, some updates, and some kind of solution to the mugginess on the lower floor that doesn’t require vacationers to empty 5 dehumidifiers at least once daily.

Surrounded by the Park!
Really nice house and kitchen. Andy the location is great. You can quickly go to Bar Harbor, or you can avoid it altogether if you want. Easy access to trails, the Loop Road, Cadillac Mountain, etc. We got a reservation and then drove to the summit of Cadillac Mountain in significantly less than an hour. As a bonus, my youngest son (19) and I saw a young Buck as we were loading the car to leave. We just stared at the Buck for about a minute as a guess. Then it turned and left, its' hooves completely silent as it seemed to float away.

Weekend Getaway!
Good big property for a family vacation! Peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Good price for the area. Be aware, there is only 4 private bedrooms, 2 are in the basement and you need to run dehumidifiers and empty constantly.

Disappointing Stay
Six moms stayed here for a fall getaway. On a positive note, the house was in a convenient area in between downtown and Acadia National Park. The cleaning staff also did a good job. The property manager allowed us a more flexible check out time, which was appreciated. However, this was probably our least favorite vacation rental out of several trips. The bathrooms were small and outdated. One of them only has a tiny shower with a flimsy curtain and the other has mildew stains around the tub. The bedroom with the bunk beds has black stains in the carpet near the door. Several bedrooms did not have a closet. The living space is very small. The fire place is blocked off, but still has a raised stone area that juts out - watch your toes. The TV volume seemed to be fading out; hard to hear conversations when watching a movie. This property could benefit from fixing the fireplace or adding a fire pit or hot tub. We would not stay here again unless it is updated.

Good location, lots of space, but very worn, smelled
We chose the property because of the location along with the amount of indoor and outdoor space. The location was great, along with the amount of bedrooms and outdoor space. The property is much more worn than appears in photos. All carpets appear stained, the shower curtains were orange with mildew, walls dinged and scuffed. When we arrived the house stunk- a mildew smell particularly on the lower level where 3 of us were sleeping. I notified the manager and they did send someone about 24 hours later who emptied 3 dehumidifiers that helped with the issue. The question is how long was that water sitting there? The house had clearly been cleaned prior to our arrival, beds made, clean towels. We ran the dehumidifiers constantly during our stay and they needed to be emptied continuously. It always smelled but never as bad as when we arrived.

Family gathering
Almost a perfect fit- masterbedroom for us, private bedroom for newly weds, "apartment" for couple & 2 children, loft for teenager, small bunk room for a single. Incredibly furnished kitchen. Could have used another fan. Tv reception-barely. Driveway hard to locate.

Great Acadia Spot
The house was clean and had everything you needed. It was a nice layout and slept everyone comfortably. The only issue was that the house was extremely hot when we were there. There is no air conditioning so it was a bit muggy in the house. Other than that, it was a great location right near the park and right near some popular trails. Would recommend, just not in a heat wave.

Awesome Location
This property is located very near an entrance to Acadia National Park. We were able to easily access the park loop road, and get right to attractions like Cadillac Mountain, Thunder hole, and Sand Beach. The deck is great, comes equipped with a grill, and could easily accommodate a large group.

Perfect house for a big group of friends
Stayed here with 9 friends and each person got their own bed- easily could have fit up to 12. Perfect location on mount desert island within about 15 mins drive to most trail heads and bar harbor! Would stay here again.

Probably just bad luck. Things happen.
Trash related issues. Previous guest trash filled all the available barrels. Trash bags were not available and we had nowhere to put trash etc. and then the animals overturned the barrels of previous guests which led to a daily clean up in the driveway by our group. Also, many missing light bulbs and sparse supplies. My guess is simply very busy house and there simply was not time to replenish the house for our group. It was also very very hot inside at night.
