Family Visit to Acadia National Park

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The downstairs living room, dining room and kitchen areas had plenty of space and had lots of windows. We also enjoyed the large deck, but there was often loud music playing at the basketball court in the park next door. The upstairs sleeping area was a little tight on space but the bathroom worked well for us. We also used the guest house for a bedroom. It was comfortable, but it needs window coverings.
