Going to Acadia in October with the plan on staying for 4-5 nights for my first trip into the area.
With spending most of our time in the park which would be the best place to stay town-wise and even take suggestions on cottages, inns, etc.
Since I am traveling with the Mrs, we are looking for a cottage or small motel and probably in a town or village and not out alone.
Looking at the maps of the area I see there are several little towns in the area. I was looking at Bar Harbor being the default, but would one of the other little towns on Mt Desert Isle be a better bet for seeing the park?
Looking here I see folks talk about the neighboring Schoodic Point but I was thinking of that as a possible drive.
Ideally it would be close to the park so I could get in before dawn and photograph sunrise and early morning, then go back to have breakfast with wife. If the town was quaint (i know all New England towns are quaint) we could walk around it but still be close to park.
Any suggestions welcome. BTW, I already mined the article Bruce Barlow wrote in VC for some places to eat, but always open to good local choices for food too.
Thanks!
