Overall, we had a good stay at the cabin. It is a great location - close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Both are just minutes down the road! So that was wonderful! Turn right out of the road and it is a straight drive to the park and Bar Harbor!
The location was quiet and restful with a nice view, and the beds were comfortable - so we slept well every night.
I really appreciated that the house was well stocked with everything that we needed. There was an abundance of towels, sheets, and basics in the house. Having access to a washer and dryer was also was very nice. So there were many positives to our stay.
On the other hand, the cabin needs some basic maintenance. A deep cleaning and some paint (inside and out) would help the overall appearance of the cabin. There were gaps in the flooring, so the cabin just had a tired feeling. It didn't interfere with our stay but would help the overall feel of the cabin.
However, there does need to be some weed eating done around the cabin and better lighting on the side of the cabin where you walk from the car to the deck. We walked in late one evening and a copperhead was curled up next to the steps where some weeds were growing at the side of the cabin. Fortunately, I had a flashlight, otherwise, I would have stepped on the snake.
There was no grill at the cabin as stated in the title. The firepit is down from the house on a rock that slopes, and no seating around it, so it was basically unusable. The rockers on the porch were too big to take around the firepit. That was a disappointment because I was hoping to use the firepit while we were there.
Overall, it was a good place to stay due to the location and the restful quiet of the area. The cabin was well-stocked and had everything we needed.
