Summary: We stayed for 4 nights with friends and had an amazing time. This place was amazing and very clean. No issues whatsoever with the little construction that was nearby. Everything you will need is provided and all things you want to do is very close. The fire pit was a great Maine experience and communication with the owner is super easy. Definitely will stay again. Sail Acadia is a wonderful sailing experience with a wonderful sailboat named Alice. Biel’s And Thurston’s are both great lobster houses but another amazing place to eat is Dry Dock Inn in SWH is a must.
