Bay Meadow Cottages

We had no idea what to expect! These cottages are just about the cutest things we’ve ever seen! They are very tiny… No TV and old, yet quaint and charming! Kirsten and her husband are some of the sweetest people.:). You are literally five minutes from an entrance to Acadia National Park. We stayed in the cottage called Rusticator. Highly recommend this cabin, as you can see the water across from it with no obstructed view. These owners are phenomenal communicators, and we think you will fall in love just as we did. Will definitely stay here again!

Picturesque Maine experience! Perfect romantic stay by the water. Beds are super comfy. Rooms are clean, well furnished with everything you need. We enjoyed a fire every night and the local ice cream and blueberry pie on sight will change your life! The hosts were delightful and every recommendation was spot on for where to eat and places to see. Just a divine respite from the hustle and bustle of 'real life.' Highly recommend BMC.

Kirsten, Chelsea, and Steve are the best host I've ever had. This is my second time here and I'm visiting with my mom. They have been more than accommodating and helpful. Pleasant, professional, and very nice. They even made me my own maine blueberry pie for my birthday and it was the best blueberry pie I've ever had! I would come here every year!

Felt like home away from home! The cottages are cute, the pie is delicious, And the staff was so friendly! To be able I have to be able to drink coffee by the water in the morning and cocktails by the water in the evening was a perfect way to start and end our day. It was a nice area to be away from The hubbub of Main Street in Bar Harbor and head downtown to visit. They are close to Acadia National Park entrance. When we come back to Bar Harbor we will book again with Bay Meadow Cottages.

This was a perfect spot for us! Away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for us to easily be enjoyed! The scenery was gorgeous, the rooms were warm and cozy. The blueberry pie and ice cream were delicious! The free coffee in the room was very good and the espresso bar on premise was convenient and nice as well. From the minute we booked we were in communication and given plenty of great suggestions, the ones we took were spot on and perfect for our trip!

We arrived for a five night stay during a gorgeous span of weather in September of 2024. While we were off and running towards Acadia National Park every morning, this was always after a visit to the wonderfully restored barn located on the premise. This robust, vintage barn doubles as the Bay Meadow office and guest center, which also includes a fabulous coffee bar. The cottages are located on a meadow with a view of a bay, where you can find paddle boards to use to drift out on the water. There are also two fires pits surrounded by Adirondack chairs, adding to a cozy feeling as the day turns into night. As an added bonus, there are propane grills for your cooking needs. To top it all off, blueberry pie slices and ice cream are available 24/7. We rented the Laughing Gull cottage. This cottage is larger, with the additional of a full-size kitchen and a compact seating area with a couch. It appears all the cabins have a porch, which is nice to use while drinking your coffee. We always felt comfortable and cozy in our cottage, and the super friendly and positive staff added an even nicer atmosphere. Bay Meadow Cottages fit us perfectly, as the days were always busy, and the nights just perfect right there beside the bay.

My husband and I stayed two nights in August and had the BEST time. The location is great because you’re close to Bar Harbour and close to the park but without the crowds. It was super quiet without being scary too (in case you’re a city person like me.) The views of the water are gorgeous. The hospitality of the hosts couldn’t be beat. The 24/7 blueberry pie was AMAZING. If you’re on the fence of booking here, just do it. You will be so happy you did!!

I have never felt more at home and comfortable in another hotel/airbnb! We couldn't have picked a better place to stay on our first trip to Maine and Acadia. Bay Meadow Cottages are tucked back and quiet, but still close to the main highway to take you out to Bar Harbor or to Acadia National Park. After spending a full day hiking, the quiet, little cottage was a perfect place to return to for a meal on the porch. The cottage itself was well appointed, stunningly clean, and well maintained. I cannot overemphasize how well kept these cottages are with beautiful hardwood floors and a fresh coat of paint. The cove across the street provides excellent opportunities for a little tide pooling and catching a beautiful sunset. Looking forward to a return trip!
