Great Cabin at Acadia Park

The cabin was amazing, it exceeded our expectations. Was very well equipped and the location was just perfect. Close to everything Acadia Park has to offer and at the same time secluded for resting. Will definitively recommend this place to friends and family. 5 stars

Clean and new

We stayed here for three weeks with our family of five. The house was clean and well cared for. The host was easy to communicate with and provided suggestions of activities in the area. We’ve stayed at a number of different rentals near Acadia over the years and this is one of the few we’d stay at again.

Incredible Home

This home is AMAZING. It has everything you need for a super comfortable stay. Roomy, great kitchen, comfy beds, laundry, etc. We loved the quiet area, and it was only 15-20 minutes away from any hiking we wanted to do. Loved Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Bria answered the one question we had immediately. Would recommend this home to anyone. This is the place you want to stay!

Pretty Marsh, Peaceful Marsh

We had a lovely 3 days on the quiet side of the island. We hiked up Beech Mountain in the fog and kayaked around Mt. Desert Narrows. In the evening we enjoyed games and a fire in the firepit! The kitchen is well stocked for meal prep! But, Beals won our hearts for a water front lobster/mussel fest!

Mount Desert Island Hideaway

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in the woods! The house is clean, modern, and well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The location is great because it's off the beaten path in a nice quiet area, but close enough to all the sites you would want to see on Mt. Desert Island with a short drive. Excellent place to stay if you like peace and quiet. Very comfortable with a great flat screen TV. Gas grill and fire pit were great for relaxing and cooking a burger after hiking all day. Also, loved having a washer and dryer available. Super easy check in and great communication from the host. We will certainly look stay here again on future trips to Mt. Desert Island!

Simply fantastic!

A beautiful, literal cabin-in-the-woods that is a true home away from home. It a quiet and secluded part of Mt. Desert and exactly as described. The kitchen is WELL stocked for any level of cooking. Access is easy with a code. All rooms and beds were very comfortable including the futon downstairs. We felt like we were in our own home from the minute we walked in. Close to all the attractions. And it is very quiet and peaceful at night. Host is an excellent communicator and almost instantly.
