Hill Cottage, a quiet retreat with style

If you’re heading our way—Downeast, as they say—to vacation in Acadia National Park, it’s a good bet you like spending time outdoors. Doing stuff. Being active. And at the end of a full day you appreciate a quiet retreat, away from the throng of your fellow visitors. A place to cook a fresh meal, grab a warm shower, curl up with a good book; and when the sun finally sets, step outside to marvel at a night sky unpolluted by town lights. If that describes you, the Hill Cottage is your retreat.
