My family stayed for 3 nights to check out Acadia. The rental was perfect for our family of 3, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there was even a little grocery store less than a 1/4 mile down the road. It was about a 25 minute drive to get to most of the big Acadia sites since they are on the other side of the Island, like the Jordan Pond House, Thunder Hole, and Sieur De Mont.However, we considered that a good thing because it was much quieter and relaxing out in Southwest Harbor. We visited the last week of June so it was still early in the season, but the town of Bar Harbor was packed, same with each of the Acadia sites. Make sure you get out early if you want to get parking to go hike or see the sites, it got very busy by around 9am.
