Absolutely wonderful stay! My husband and I, and our two sons, made some great memories. The location was perfect. Very peaceful - we loved the sound of the loons! The cabin was so cozy and nice. Very clean. We appreciated the use of the kayaks and canoes. The boys loved fishing and swimming. On a rainy day we watched movies and played games - all of which were provided. The outdoor shower was a fun addition. We will definitely be telling people about our stay. Thank you again for an amazing stay.

Great place to unwind!

We had so much fun here. It was the perfect place to really unplug, start AND finish books, and forget where you left your phone :) We fished, watched fireworks, swam, and went boating. The hosts generously took us out on their boat to see more of the lake, and it was beautiful! Their dog was friendly and sweet, and our dog enjoyed playing with her. The cabin was cute and cozy and well-decorated. There were also plenty of spots to sit outside and read on your own, so it felt big enough for the four of us and our large dog to stay for a week. The swimming area has a large shallow section—perfect for kids. The boat ride from the mainland is very short and accessible, so while it is an island, it’s still convenient if you have to leave to get groceries, etc. It’s clear the hosts enjoy sharing their little island—they were so friendly and welcoming. A wonderful experience!

Loved our stay at Cabin Beaver! Cannot say enough good things about our stay. We went into the week expecting a great time but this place exceeded all of our expectations. Cabin is very well kept and well stocked with all the essentials. Loved our evening and morning sits over looking the lake listening to the loons and watching the bald eagles. Would highly recommend staying here!

Magical Adventure for Kids

We had such an amazing time at Cabin Beaver! Fishing, canoeing and kayaking, seeing and experiencing all the wildlife, relaxing and playing together… the cabin had it all. Beautiful location in DownEast and close to everything Acadia has to offer, but returning to the cabin each day was a highlight for our young kiddos. Thank you so much Jennifer & Jack for this special getaway.

Charming Cabin by the Lake

A great place to stay if you want to experience camping & lake life with some luxuries like a shower & fully stocked kitchen. The cabin was very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything to make it very welcoming. Acadia is not too far away but you will probably want to stay on the island to canoe & kayak.

Cabin Beaver

We were looking for some thing, adventurous, off the grid, unique, relaxing, and different! Cabin Beaver checked all the boxes and more! Our own island, canoeing to get to it, almost all the comforts of home, warm shower outdoors. It made my husband and I realize we still had adventure in us after 30 years of marriage! It was just what we needed!

Amazing

It is beautiful and peaceful. Jack and Jennifer were amazing host. The island is beautiful. If you are a nature lover, this place is the best. Our dog loved being free and exploring. It’s the first time I’ve ever been at a rental and honestly didn’t need to go any place else. I am grateful to Jack & Jennifer for allowing us to make these unforgettable memories. God bless.

Always Wanted to Stay on an Island

We have a great stay on the Isle of Regan. Thanks to warm welcome from Jack soon after we landed on the island, we were ready for our week's stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the company of the pair of loons, the merganser with her seven children, the family of beaver, the red squirrels and the multitude of birds on and around the island. Perfect location for all the hikes and kayaking we had planned for upper coast of Maine. Thanks to Jennifer and Jack for sharing their island with us!

Quiet Cabin Getaway

Everything was perfect. The hosts are great, very easy to communicate with and have thought of everything to make the stay feel comfortable. The cabin is clean, and has everything you need. The lake was also clean and the water was very warm to swim in. The canoe was a lot of fun. Will be back again!

Dream Beaver

This little cabin and its gorgeous surroundings was exactly what we needed. It was spectacularly clean and tidy when we arrived. The hosts were out of sight unless we needed them, and then they were there to help. The wail of the loons at dusk and the reflection of the moon off the lake at night were icing on the cake.

Wonderful Get Away

The hosts were above and beyond kind. The cabin was immaculate and private. My husband and I (and our two Yorkies) enjoyed every second of our stay. Everything that we could need was already in the cabin. We loved the wildlife outside and our opportunity to deepen our connection with God. We would love to return in the future.

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and brought our dog along to explore the island (off leash!) We had a great experience through and through. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. The cabin is well-appointed and very comfortable. The directions were very clear. One thing to note - the drive in on backroads is be quite bumpy at one point. We were fine in our SUV, but folks in a lower sedan should proceed carefully. Overall 10/10. Thanks!

Exceeded expectations

We had a wonderful time at Cabin Beaver. Instructions on where to park & how to get to the island were easy to understand. Taking a canoe to your camp is so much fun! The cabin had everything we needed and more. Bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked with pots & utensils, & everything was tidy. We enjoyed taking the canoe out, birdwatching, swimming, and making a campfire. Our dogs were in heaven and it put us at ease that our curious puppy couldn’t run off - there’s nowhere to go when you’re on an island! We had a perfect long weekend and can’t wait to visit again!

My fiancé and I recently visited cabin beaver mid September, amazing experience and can’t wait to go back. Very clean, cozy, and comfortable. The island is beautiful, lake side for the stunning sunrise and the brook side for some fantastic kayaking. Don’t let the canoe ride across the beautiful green lake sway you because it’s simple and very quick. We even accomplished it in the dark after we went to dinner! We can’t wait to return, we absolutely adore our memories from our experience.
