The house has lots of space, plenty of parking, a great outdoor area complete with a grill, is centrally located for visiting many of the Acadia sites, has shopping and restaurants nearby, and has a great breakfast/coffee shop within walking distance.
Echo Lake swim area is just up the road and many trailheads are nearby in either direction. Sand Beach, Cadillac Mountain, Dorr Mountain, and many other popular spots are a short drive away, and gas stations and groceries are both VERY convenient.
It was the perfect choice for our visit to the area.
