A port-a-crib is available.The walls are hung with original paintings of Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park.

Compass Harbor and the ruins of George Dorr’s family home are just a few blocks south. The Schooner Head Path is accessed off the Compass Harbor Trail. The Great Meadow Loop is accessed off Cromwell Harbor Road, just north of the ball fields. It connects to Jesup Path, Dorr Mountain, Homans Path, The Great Meadow Trail, Kebo Connector Trails, and much more.For winter visitors – Acadia National Park is a winter wonder-land! Hiking (crampons a must), XC Skiing on groomed trails in the park, snow-shoeing, skating, ice-fishing, & sledding are all in the mix. BUT PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR VERY RUGGED, ICY CONDITIONS IF HIKING ON ICE AND TO ANY ELEVATION!!! CRAMPONS AND ICE GEAR A MUST! Winter night skies are hypnotizing.
