New, beautiful 2 bedroom cottage
The cabin was very nice. It was off the road, so no road noise. It was esthetically nice as a well-built traditional carpentry pine cabin throughout. Well equipped kitchen. Nice screened in porch. Very clean. I would return if going back to Arcadia. It is a little ways to Bar Harbor and southern end of the island but well located to other hiking. We loved it.

Weekend getaway
Great location. Wonderful property and accommodations. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Bar Harbor. Close to everything while offering a quiet place to relax away from the busy-ness of other tourists.

Great Location to visit Acadia
Our place was very clean and cozy. The location ended up perfect as Bar Harbor was very busy but we were far enough out to not be troubled by it. The Brewery/BBQ across the road was perfect for us with good beer, food, and an enclosed play area for our kids to play in while we relaxed and had some beer. 100% would stay here again.

Close to Acadia, but still secluded
The property was nice. The cabin was well maintained and suited us just fine! Super comfortable. The screened in porch was a real bonus.

Cute as a button
Buckle Bungalow was a cute and cozy place to stay. The all wood cabin seems brand new. The cool air from the air conditioner works in the bedrooms only if you keep the doors open. We were pretty active on our trip, but it was always nice to come back and chill in the bungalow. I thought it was a great value, compared to the alternatives in peak season. All in all, I'd highly recommend.

Fresh new cottage in a convenient spot
Our family had a joint vacation/college tour in Maine. Chose this spot as close to the colleges we were touring as well as Acadia NP. Cottages are new and have everything that you need, full kitchen, 2 bedrooms (could sleep 4) sitting area, screened in porch and modern amenities like wifi and AC. Check in and check out was easy. We didn’t have any issues but there is a camp host on site. Definitely would stay again and recommend it

Perfect Bungalow For Summer Vacation
The bungalow was perfect for our family of 4. The location was great you are close to amenities but far enough off the main road that you had the feeling of seclusion. The screened in porch was great for sitting out after a long day of sightseeing and not having to worry about bugs. Our children enjoyed the all the games that were available. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with all the needed supplies. Worst part of the bungalow was having to pack up and head home. Everything was just wonderful. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that wants to go to the Bar Harbor area.
