About this property
The Yellow 2 Bedroom Cottage @Twin Hills Cottages
Welcome to Acadia!
Here is your home away from home as you venture out to explore the DownEast of Maine and Acadia National Park!
This is the listing for the 2 bedroom Yellow cottage. One of 6 colorful cottages in a row at Twin Hills Cottages of Acadia. A Historic landmark since 1947 on Rt 1 at the gateway to the Acadia area.
Each cottage has its own decor and features a covered porch. This 2 bedroom cottage has a Jack and Jill style bathroom connecting the bedrooms. The master bedroom has 1 queen bed, the 2nd room has 2 queen beds. Mini fridge, coffee pot, microwave, desk space, and a TV with Roku.
Like a hotel room but with more privacy. Why stay in a regular hotel when you can have your own colorful cottage. Each cottage is its own unique space. Private and comfortable featuring a covered porch with outdoor sitting area, 1 queen bed in one room and 2 queen beds in the other, private bathroom, microwave, mini fridge, coffee machine, flat screen TV, and desk space.
**NO Kitchen
Guests will have access to their own private cottage as well as use of the grounds. There is a shared Fire Pit. There is a spot right down the road that sells camp wood. Please leave the area as you found it. Clean up any mess and make sure the fire is expelled completely before leaving it unattended.
Things to note: -These cottages are bedrooms only and do not have full kitchens. -Parking is directly in front of the cottage leaving the gravel road clear for other cars to pass. -This is one of 7 cottages, 5 apartments and a 5 bedroom house on the property. -The Internet service is slow in the area, it is OK but can be effected by anything from wind to humidity, even connected directly to the router it can be slow and spotty. We are in a wooded area between two large hills outside of town. The service provider is working to expand its coverage and we can only hope it will get better.

Our family had a brief but pleasant overnight stay on our way to visit Acadia along with points further east.The cottages are adorable and we would definitely stay again!
A cute little cottage that was clean and convenient. It was a little over a half an hour drive to Acadia, and about ten minutes into downtown Ellsworth. My kids appreciated having their own bed. The host was quick to reply to messages, and check in/out was very easy. It isn’t a luxury cottage, but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. The photos are very accurate. The bathroom had plenty of towels, a good hairdryer, and a 3-1 body wash. Bring your own shampoo, or it was cheap to purchase at the grocery store. We would stay here again.

My Mother in law went to use bathroom and couldn’t get off the toilet and had to us to help her. There were no bars in the bathroom. So we went to a Hotel in Ellsworth

Liked everything, especially the bright yellow color of the cottage and pinkish bed sheets
We appreciated just how clean the apartment was. The check in process was easy. We were able to check in around 10 pm and everything was ready for us. About 30 minutes to Acadia National parks. It was nice and quiet!

So cute!! The only complaint is that it smelled a little sour/off in the cottage, especially the bedding/carpet...other than that it was great!

Nice little cottage. Really served our purpose for a kind of last minute trip up to Bar Harbor. We found Jon to be very responsive and accommodating. We did not have hot water the first day and when we reached out to him he had someone fix the issue right away.

I'll start with no hot water in the evening & the morning. No showers. The mattresses need replacement, we can feel the coils. The second bedroom door was improperly hung, letting cold air in my room. No extra blankets. The beds did not have blankets. Only sheets (which did not fit properly) and a thin comforter/bed cover.
I stayed here with an older family member that mentioned she wanted to experience Acadia NP, yellow is her favorite color and she was very happy when we arrived and she guessed the correct cabin.
The location is easy to navigate from, just displaced enough to relax and has an adjacent road that is a good walking path.
The host, Jonathan, was attentive and prompt with communication throughout the entire process.
Fire pits, cute cabins with a porch/seating area, nice location and a very reasonable price.
Don't stay in a single room hotel, this is so much better!

The positives - clean, three nice queen beds, upgraded appliances (nice fridge and microwave), convenient location right off the highway, easy check in. Negatives - could definitely use some updating of older features, coffee and cups supplied with instant coffee maker but no sugar, stirrers, or creamer (maybe this is a Maine thing?), tiny little pedestal sink with nowhere to put a hand towel (even adding a hook on the wall would help a lot), awkward room arrangement with having to walk through the bathroom to get between the bedrooms (but I get it - it's a space-saving design). But our biggest complaint is the toilet - it was a NIGHTMARE. It started giving us trouble immediately after getting there and had to be plunged 10 times during our two night stay. By the end it wasn't even fixable with the plunger. And we were being very careful to not overload it.
