The Perfect Maine Getaway

This was an excellent place to stay while visiting Bay Harbor. The house was well equipped with all the essentials for cooking, coffee and sleeping. Thank you for having us!

Clean, cozy cabin! We explored Acadia almost every day and had a couple of nice, quiet nights in with bonfires. Great, quiet area. Highly recommend.

Decent value with potential There’s a lot to love about this cabin. It’s charmingly rustic and offers a lot of space and comfortable beds at a fair price. The “quiet side” location is peaceful. When we arrived, unfortunately, the property was in a bit of disarray. It seems like some repairs/ upgrades are in process, and there were a lot of construction materials and a shop vac left out, and I found a few stray nails on the floor upstairs (with my bare feet!). It seems like the property owners must use the home quite a bit because many personal items are out. This wouldn’t in itself a problem, but the overall impression was not exactly tidy, clean and organized. We also found mouse droppings in the kitchen.Also, I had read other reviews and was prepared for the basement stairs to be steep and narrow, but they are not all set at the same distance to each other, and some are pitched at an angle. I’m no slouch- I hiked the Beehive and South Bubble trail on my trip- but those stairs are scary. Also, while there were beds for 10, we barely had enough pillows for the six of us. If those issues could be resolved, it would be a five star property!

Cute cabin We love Acadia and this was a unique and fun home to stay in. We hadn’t stayed on this side of the island and I am glad we did. It was a fun location to do some things we hadn’t done before and the house/kitchen was perfect for us as a stopping ground. I would suggest adding another railing up to the loft, where the netting decoration is. Our kids ended up finding places to sleep on the main level because we were a little worried about safety coming down the stairs at night. It was also hot so we were more comfortable on the main level. We loved our stay and will be back.

Rustic Maine log house The house was great with a mix of rustic and new. Perfect location for planning day excursions to Acadia National Park and surrounding seaside villages.

Quiet Cabin We enjoyed the cabin on the quiet side especially the amenities including bedding, towels, kitchen items, toys for the kids, and loved bringing our two dogs with us. The rustic decor was very nice and we loved the loft are for the kids however they had new roof, decks and skylights put in before we arrived (which they were up front about) and the downside was we didn’t allow the kids to use the loft area much as when we first arrived we found the area was hardly vacuumed and had saw dust in a lot of places as well as nails and screws. We also found nails outside in the grass so we were also afraid to let the dogs and kids out there much and were afraid to park our cars in the driveway for fear of a flat. The basement and loft stairs are definitely “rustic” like other reviews have mentioned. The neighbor was a little close for our liking especially as we hoped being on the quiet side we would have space. Overall we understood the situation with the recent construction the upgrades will definitely be a benefit to the property. Just not great timing for us. If not for that we would give 5 stars and if we ever traveled there again we would likely stay there.
