More often than not just pictures is not enough to really get a feeling about a place. I booked Kings Mountain Cottage for a couple of days to get away from NYC with my two daughters ages 12 and 13. When we got there it was all that we were looking for and more. This is not a simple cabin, its a small 3 story house with all the amenities you can imagine and need. It has a master bedroom with a king size bed and en suite bathroom. Main floor has a kitchen, dining room area, fire place and lounge area overlooking the gorgeous Swetts Pond. And the bottom floor has what city slickers like me are used to, a big screen tv with Roku so after a full day of outdoor activities you can lie down and relax watching your favorite show or a scary movie which is perfect for the location.
Jason is a great host and very easy to reach and has done an amazing job making sure everything is in place to really enjoy the outdoors. You have at your disposal canoes, kayaks, floating devices, fishing rods..... you name it King Mountain Cottage has it. My two daughters could be swimming in the pond for hours or just relaxing with floating mats.....
You can definitely feel you are off the beaten path here but at the same time you have all the shopping you need juts a few minutes away and if you are in the mood or have more time you have Acadia National Park and beautiful Bar Harbor just 1 hour drive away, as well as many other outdoor activities like white water rafting, hiking, biking......
I would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for some peace and tranquility, enjoys the outdoors and just wants to have a truly memorable experience.
I also think this place must be amazing in the middle of winter full of snow and just enjoy a nice fire and cup of joe by the fire place.
