Craney "Tree" House near Acadia
Craney House is a comfortable place with character—good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids). We affectionately call it our "tree house" because of the jungle that used to obscure the house. We love Otter Creek for its quieter access to what Acadia has to offer—close to the Park Loop Rd, carriage and hiking trails, but it's also only about 5 miles away from Bar Harbor and 10 miles to Seal Harbor.

Inside, Bosch and Café appliances, Ann Sacks tiles, custom woodwork, original local art, and the finest linens reward every glance. Vespa charging and parking for two.
