Enjoyed having our glass of wine sitting by the water at the end of the day. Confirmed reservation included an entire page of very helpful recommendations in the area. Enjoyed our stay! ##### Denise M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony P. 29 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming, quiet and serene cottage We stayed at Bay Meadow Cottages for 3-nights in late July… experiencing a wonderful and charming stay. Close enough to Acadia and Downtown Bar Harbor, but far enough to remain serene and quiet. Interaction with the owner and staff was pleasant, helpful and informative. The sleeping and kitchen areas of our cottage (“Rusticator“ - summer dweller) was well-designed. Our only regret was not staying longer…and having another slice of blueberry pie. ##### Anthony P.
