RYAN'S ACADIA CARRIAGE HOUSE - 2 1/2 mi. from town, 1 mi. to Eagle Lake!

Perfect location, and well appointed! Our Golden Retriever loved the stay there also.

Convenient location within a 15 minute drive of most of the main sights and a few minutes walk to an entrance to the carriage roads. Basic, no frills accommodation, but our family of five plus one dog fit comfortably. The apartment is a bit more spacious than we were expecting from the pictures. Deck is a nice size with a picnic table plus four chairs. Great stargazing at night!The biggest disappointment was the bbq. It is included in the listing, but the only one we saw was not clean and had no cooking utensils. Kitchen could also be a bit better stocked- more cutlery would be helpful, the toaster barely toasts, and some basic seasonings (even just salt) would have been appreciated. Laundry is 1 per wash and dry so you may want to bring some quarters.

Cozy

The location is minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor! There is plenty of parking and the property is quiet. The apartment was a very good size with adequate kitchen and bathroom amenities. The beds were comfortable and the the bedding was clean. There were a couple of downsides. First of all, and most importantly, the dog yard is communal to the property. We were expecting it to be more private. Also, the apartment is up two flights of stairs, which was a little tricky for our senior dog. It was not easy for her to get in and out. Otherwise, this was a great place for our family and dog, the floors are hard, so they're easy to clean if there's an accident and you don't have to worry about previous guests' dog accidents. The only other complaint is the smell of moth balls. It was extremely pervasive and after 3 weeks I can still smell it on some of our belongings that we aren't able to launder. Overall, we had a very good trip and enjoyed our stay.
