Acadia first visit
The cottage didn’t match the description. It was in a residential neighborhood, but it was quiet and close to many attractions and trails. Upon entrance there was a strong musty mold odor. Towards the bedroom there is a step down that is tricky. It was marked with a red tape, but that didn’t prevent a dangerous fall.
There were cobwebs and kitchen was not very clean. We had to wash the utensils and cookware before we used them. The microwave was located ridiculously high above the refrigerator and risky to use. The bed is also very high and a hard mattress. Because of the skylight in the bedroom, wear an eye mask if you don’t want wake up at 4:30!
Despite these drawbacks we enjoyed the bird sanctuary provided by the neighbor next us. Lots of songbirds, critters and in back some wild turkeys! The location was close to the loop road and trail’s galore. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor. That’s why overall we enjoyed our first visit to Acadia! Our host was attentive when we first arrived and assisted with the navigation of Spectrum network. I told her about my fall and she agreed maybe a longer piece of red or yellow tape might help. She gave us some tips using the map on the wall to get around. There was also a bees nest in the grill I told her about and she took care of that. On our last day the sun finally came out. I texted the host and requested to check out at 11 instead of 10. She said no, she’d have to pay housekeeping another hour! So we said good bye.
