About

Acadia Woods Cottages offers families a charming woodland retreat just minutes from both downtown Bar Harbor and the trails of Acadia National Park. The cottages are nestled among mature trees in a quiet, forested setting that instantly puts guests in vacation mode, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle of the tourist center while keeping all of Acadia's highlights within easy reach. For families, the cottage format is ideal — private spaces where kids can be kids without worrying about noise, kitchen facilities that make it easy to prepare meals and snacks, and outdoor porches where evenings can be spent listening to the sounds of the Maine forest.

The proximity to Acadia means families can pop out for a morning hike, return for lunch and a rest, and head back out for an afternoon kayak without any logistical hassle. Staff at the property are friendly and helpful with local recommendations, and the cottages themselves are well-maintained and comfortable. This style of accommodation suits families who want the independence of a home rental with the service and reliability of a professionally managed property, making it one of the most appealing stay options for families spending multiple days exploring the Bar Harbor area.
