Connor and Cody were amazing! So kind and helpful. You are lucky to have them. Breakfast served daily was top notch and the location was a walk to town and a short bike or drive to Acadia. The hotel thought of everything from laundry pods and machines to fresh cookies in the afternoon when you arrive home from your activities. We used the sitting areas both inside and out to have drinks, read and have pizza. Very well done! We will stay here again.
