Blackwood's Cottage is a charming and welcoming place. It is located just outside of Bar Harbor and very close to Acadia Park entrances and a a beach. We stayed there with our two small children and we were able to enjoy biking, and the beach almost every day.The cottage was very clean and very well equipped. The large porch allowed us to enjoy our meals outside. We would recommend this property to anyone that loves to visit Acadia National Park.

We had a wonderful time at Blackwood"s Cottage and Mount Desert Island. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for in this vacation. The accomodations were very comfortable and perfect for our family. We loved the porch, firepit, and surrounding scenery. We also loved that it was out of Bar Harbor in a quiet area, but close enough for a short drive into town. The Island Express bus was very convenient for hikes (we went up the Cadillac North Ridge trail and down the South Ridge trail); and we arrived back just yards away from our cottage. We will definitely be coming back; 1 week was not enough! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

We had a fantastic time in Acadia and at Blackwoods Cottage. If you're looking to be away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor town but just a quick drive or bus ride away from it all, this is the place for you. Between the carriage roads, the free bus service right in front of the house, and out-the-front-door access to hiking trails, this cottage has it all, plus wi-fi and lots of movies for the occasional rainy day. We did a full-moon hike up the South Ridge of Cadillac to watch the sun rise and were able to leave right from our front door! (The trailhead is about a quarter mile down Rt. 3). The cottage is very nicely decorated, comfortable, and well-equipped with cooking implements, and is perfectly suited for a romantic getaway, two couples or a family. The fire pit is also a huge plus!! Our two terriers loved hanging out on the porch too! Thank you so much for providing such a lovely home base for our vacation in Acadia.

Blackwood's Cottage is a delightfully warm and welcoming place. We walked in, and instantly felt at home. The bed we slept in was more comfortable than our own and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need to cook a great meal, right down to the "lobstah" plates and bowls. We spent lots of time on the spacious front porch where we could see all the comings and goings while still remaining private.
Only steps away from all the Acadia Natl. Park activities, Bar Harbor and the shuttle bus, gives you the ability to see it all.
Perfect, perfect, perfect...we loved Blackwoods Cottage and we are going back next year!!
