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.

Family trip to Acadia
The cottage was clean. The location was good with a 35-40 minute drive to Acadia. The property did have a very strong musty/moldy smell.

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.

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!

Quaint and cute colorful cabins.
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! D
