We had an excellent stay at Driftwood Cottage. It was very clean and comfortable and had all of the things we needed. It is located on a quiet road and we really enjoyed coming back to the peace of the cottage every day after being with the throngs of other visitors to Acadia. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great dog-friendly spot!

We enjoyed our stay here while in town for a family reunion! It’s a lovely, quiet spot and the house (clearly recently updated/renovated) is clean, organized, and well-stocked. We also appreciated how dog-friendly it was and loved being such a short walk from the Bass Harbor Light.
