Felt very secluded with a nice view of the stars above. Within walking/biking distance of a lake. Fire pit and wood was a lovely addition.

Cozy little cabin

This was a perfect cabin to getaway and relax. It was close to Bar Harbor and all the fun activities but also far enough away to enjoy the wilderness. The owners were close by if we needed anything as well.

Fantastic central location in the Southwest Harbor. Pleasantly surprised there is a direct walking path just outside the cabin to Acadia National Park trails. No complaints whatsoever. Very clean, new plushy towels, comfortable bed. Contacted the host one time to request paper products and a pan for cooking, and they delivered in less than one hour! Will definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family looking for a spot in Acadia!

Clean, comfortable, well-kept cabin perfectly located for Acadia adventures. Close to restaurants, and many cultural activities. Pier for ocean cruses a very short drive. Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with everything we needs for a week long stay. Access to hiking and biking trails right off the back of the property. We'll be back.

As advertised

The cabin has all the basics for a nice stay. I liked being on the quiet side of the island and having some trails right outside the door. The owners respond very quickly to any questions.
