The Birches B&B and Cottages

The Birches is a private waterfront retreat, offering spectacular views of the water in Southwest Harbor ME near Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Six generations of Homers have summered and lived on the property since the 1890's. The summer homes were converted to year round residences and in the late 1980's the "Big House" was converted to the present day Bed & Breakfast, taking in travelers from far and wide. Today, your host Susi provides extraordinary itineraries and suggestions to make your experience at Acadia National Park memorable.

Come enjoy, relax and unwind on the gracious grounds which offer spectacular views of the protected harbor. Trial heads and water access just steps away. Please note that we require a two night minimum.

Always looking for ways to change the paradigm in hospitality items. Renewable, sustainable, and good for the global community. Who Gives A Crap is one of those companies. Made of bamboo pulp or recycled paper (your choice), and packaged in paper and cardboard ( no plastics), it's a step in the right direction, and my septic system says "thanks".
Bought a case and feeling good all around, if you catch my drift...
The hunt for other great, smart companies continues...if you know of any that might work at The Birches B&B, let me know! Thanks.
50% of their profit goes to building toilets and decent sanitation in developing countries.

This post says it all! And I live here...I pinch myself every day, to always be mindful of the blessing.

Patrick Koetzle, of Washington, DC, shares a photo of his wife Veronica from a visit on Oct 19. "We parked at the Jordan Pond House, hiked up Penobscot, and then over to Sargent, down through Deer Brook, and along the pond back to the restaurant for some delicious drinks and dinner watching the sky turn pink over the Bubbles across the pond. One of my favorite parks to date, and I've been to a good amount." Photo courtesy of Patrick Koetzle . Used with permission.) More @ http://go.nps.gov/YourAcadiaNPS
