About this property
Outstanding Oceanfront Log Home near Acadia National Park
A Message to Our Valued Renters:
We’re sure that you are experiencing more stress than you would like in these uncertain times. A great spot to just relax and enjoy the view. Our renters agree that the photographs don't do it justice. A large great room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bay, and has a stone fireplace so you can watch the sunset or sit by the fire. The kitchen is very well appointed and includes just about everything the chef desires except the food. There is a full laundry room with a washer and a dryer. No need to waste hours at the laundromat. The rec room includes a ping pong table, games, video tapes, DVDs, and satellite TV as well as a cozy stone fireplace and a seating area to relax and enjoy the fire or the spectacular view of Frenchman Bay. The children's bedroom is furnished with a full/twin bunk bed, a twin size bed, and a Pack n Play. In addition there are two beautifully furnished bedrooms with queen-size beds. There is a queen size sofa bed in the great room, another in the rec room, and two comfortable inflatable beds which each sleep two adults.
The home is located about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor, the hub of activities on Mount Desert Island and gateway to Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor offers dozens of restaurants and shops and also kayak and bike rentals.
Hikers who prefer less crowded trails will find that nearby Black Mountain and Schoodic Mountain offer gorgeous panoramic vistas of lakes, ponds, Frenchman Bay, and the Porcupine Islands without the large numbers of hikers found on the better known trails of Acadia.
Winter Harbor, just 5 minutes away, offers galleries, shops and dining, all located in a quaint lobster fishing village with a picturesque town harbor and dock. A passenger ferry runs numerous trips daily from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. Lobster pounds abound, and two are located within a couple of miles of the house. Swim and fish at nearby Jones Pond or Donnell Pond at the foot of Schoodic Mountain. Kayaks can be rented in nearby Birch Harbor and kayak tours can also be arranged.
The entrance to the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park is a few minutes from the house by car or bike, and is a beautiful 'secret' spot which is visited by only a few of the thousands of visitors to Acadia.

Wonderful Great Room and amazing views! A calm and cozy place for our group of 7. Would recommend! Communication with the Host/Property Manager was also fantastic!
The house has a beautiful view and is spotlessly clean and in a quiet wooded location. It was our home base for day trips up the Bold Coast. A perfect choice.
We so enjoyed our stay here. My favorite times were down by the water each morning and evening looking for sea glass and enjoying the views. We enjoyed a fire in the fire place on the cool nights. Such a beautiful place and little community.
We had an amazing stay. The most stunning view from this large cozy log home. Loved sipping coffee in the mornings and wine in the evenings by the beautiful wood burning fireplaces. Perfect winter escape. Rich was a wonderful host.
House was immaculately clean and impressively spacious. The photos do not do it justice. The view was beautiful, and relaxing out on the deck during mornings and evenings was absolutely sublime. The beach down below at low tide was very enjoyable to explore. Excellent location for visiting the Acadia Schoodic side of the park--minutes away. Ferry to Bar Harbor was great too.
Loved our stay! Amazing frontage, beautiful home and very kind and professional host. Staying here made for a very memorable vacation with our young children. Thank you for sharing your place with us!
The house was wonderful. Very a huge living room with soaring ceilings and a great view of the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and baking with spices and plenty of mixing bowls, lobster pot, cookie sheets. Beds and couches were very comfortable and seem relatively new.
This cabin was perfect for my family vacation. It was cozy and stocked with all essential items. The views were absolutely spectacular! We had a minor concern upon check in and the host was very responsive and efficient in helping us. I would highly recommend this gorgeous cabin and we will definitely stay here again.
Our whole trip was fantastic, but I really feel like this property was a big reason that the trip was so special! The private beach was amazing and provided hours of entertainment for all to enjoy! The views were fantastic and overall just a clean well maintained house! Highly recommend!
What a fabulous vacation we had at this beautiful waterfront property! The house was fully appointed with anything and everything you could possibly need to make your vacation comfortable and enjoyable.
This house was perfect for my family travelling with my parents. Beautiful scenery and very quiet. It is close to the Schoodic Acadia park. The only downside was that it was an hour away from the main Accadia park by car. The hosts were great and we definitely enjoyed our time there!
Great views at the house and very clean well maintained property. If you’re looking for more activities and don’t want to drive 50 minutes to get to Bar Harbor staying in the main part of Acadia might be a better option but we didn’t mind the driving and the area is very quiet and peaceful.
Gorgeous home with views to die for. Loved so much of the decor. Great location for day trips, we stayed so busy we barely needed the house! Our favorite spot of the week was the back deck at sunset. Will gladly recommend to friends.
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. It was clean, extremely well cared for, and full of everything you could possibly need. Access and arrival were flawless, the furniture (couches, mattresses) were so comfortable, and the view was breathtaking! Communication from the owner was also fantastic. Highly recommend!
The location of this home was peaceful, serene and majestic. The home was clean, comfortable, warm and inviting. We had a terrific time in Maine and at this fine home. We would definitely return to stay and vacation in this area. Outstanding is an accurate description of this home.
This property is one of the nicest we've experienced in over 10 years of renting vacation houses. It is beautiful, clean and well equipped. Some one has done an amazing job of decorating and there isn't a supply item forgotten.
A beautiful, quiet spot with wonderful views. We saw so many lovely sunsets. The lobster boats on the water were fun to watch too.
The house was so comfortable and clean. The host even gave us a call to tell us about the northern lights which we were able to see. Amazing!
The cabin is amazing! I wish I could return every year to this place. Great communication with owner - everything was smooth. Two little granddaughters joined us, and they made fairy gardens in the back mossy woods. The whole cabin is super clean, and kitchen is exceptionally stocked for cooking.
Other reviews are correct, the pictures don’t do justice to the wonderful house and beautiful location. The house is welcoming and well appointed. Had morning coffee on the deck and an evening beer out on the rocks to watch the sun set. Was a bit concerned that the location would feel isolated, but the small towns on the peninsula provided everything we needed. Great food options within a 15 minute drive. We took the ferry to Bar Harbor, did a whale watching trip, and hiked both parts of Acadia. Truly enjoyed our trip!
We spent a wonderful July week at the home. While the setting on the water was rustic, the home was modern, up-to-date, clean, and well-appointed. The location allowed for magnificent trips to the nearby Acadia National Forest and excursions into a quaint and bustling Bar Harbor. A nature cruise in the harbor, where we saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and ospreys, capped off a great vacation.
My husband booked this for us for our 40th anniversary, our first trip east--we are from southern Illinois. We found this cabin to be VERY clean, seems fairly new, and has an amazing view of the water. Each morning I got up, made a coffee, and sat out on the deck to watch the transformation from night to day--AWESOME! We travelled to various areas to shop and hike, and had some great food from local restaurants--of course you will want to order a lobster roll or some other seafood. It was perfect! We really love the cabin!
