About this property

Our modern log cabin has stunning views of Frenchmen Bay in a very private, serene location. With 3 bedrooms (2 king bedrooms and one large loft with queen and twin size beds) /2 baths it is the perfect spot for a family or two to enjoy together. The main level has a bedroom and bathroom so those with mobility issues will be able to navigate the house after ascending 3 small steps up the front porch. Whether you enjoy sitting on the back deck, by the fire pit, or walking on the shoreline, there are many places to spread out and relax.

Located down a long, private, tree lined road that is directly on the ocean it is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. In the morning it is nice to sip a cup of coffee on the deck and watch the local lobsterman harvest his catch out in the bay. You might see one of the eagles or osprey swoop down to catch a fish or even a seal pop their head up from time to time. Deer may be seen grazing around the woods and marmot are seen at times.

The shoreline is a great spot as well for children to explore the tide pools and hunt for sea glass at low tide. Feel free to launch kayaks and paddleboards from the beach. You can bring your own or they can be rented on the island. We own the only other house on the street (more than 400 ft uphill from the cabin) that shares the beach access.

Just 10 mins from Acadia, 15 min from downtown Bar Harbor, and 10 minutes to the quiet side of the island, it is a quick trip to most places on the island. There are many quaint lobster pounds and restaurants within a five minute drive of the house including the top ranked lobster pound, The Travelin Lobster. Local favorites also include Sweet Peas and Mainly Meats. All have great outdoor dining.

Like lobster? We have all you need to cook up a great lobster dinner at the house.

The log cabin has been a loved vacation spot by families for 25 years. We bought the cabin in November 2021 and renovated both bathrooms as well as completely re-decorated the whole house. We also own Bar Harbor Cedar Chalet just up the hill from this house.

We rent Saturday to Saturday from June- October 15. Otherwise we have a 4 night / 5 day minimum due to Bar Harbor’s town regulations for vacation rental houses.

We have a firm no pet policy so all guests will be comfortable in the house. No parties or smoking as well.

We have beds for 7 but would permit one additional guest to sleep on an air mattress or in a pack n play.

We have an outdoor camera by the front door that looks at the driveway.

Beautiful Fall Week

The property was exactly as listed online. We stayed in the log cabin and found it to bed very comfortable. The owner Jamie was friendly and welcoming. Everything was as shown on VRBO. We would love to return.

A Wonderful week at the Cabin.

Jamie was a very good communicator. She provided us with everything we needed to know about the cabin, their favorite local restaurants, coffee shops, and things to do around the area. The cabin was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The Internet worked very well. It was so peaceful there we didn’t want to leave. Seeing the deer walk through in the evening was something we enjoyed. We look forward to returning.

Spectacular oceanview and sunsets

Our multigenerational group had a terrific two-week stay in this clean, well kept and appointed, and rustic (yet modern) cabin with amazing oceanfront views. The check-in/out processes were seamless, and Jamie was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout the process. We appreciated the thoughtful welcome gift and helpful suggestions. The cabin is conveniently located and was only a 15-25 minute drive to most trailheads and activities. Additionally, it was very close to our favorite eateries, including Sweet Peas and the Travelin Lobster. Our group appreciated the plentiful indoor and outdoor common spaces, including a large deck and firepit area. We felt that we were truly immersed in nature, with only the sister cabin in view in the back at a distance. We look forward to returning next summer!
