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.

Peaceful and scenic

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.

Spring break in Maine

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.

Beautiful Property

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, Quiet/Peaceful area

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.

Wonderful stay on the Schoodic Peninsula

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!

Maine Event

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.

Amazing View!

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!
