Thanks for the great review, you touched on so many things.
Neat little cabin on the quiet side of Acadia. Very private, great outdoor spaces for enjoying a fire or coffee on the deck. Well stocked for cooking breakfasts. The house was very clean and cozy. Communication with the host was great and check-in was very easy with a door code. Also loved that it was dog friendly so we could bring the whole family. Hopefully will be back soon!
Great location on the quiet side of Acadia! We appreciated the space (in and out), multiple bedrooms, and dining room table with room for at least 6! Even got to view deer in the backyard most mornings. Great stay!
This was an excellent place to stay while visiting Bay Harbor. The house was well equipped with all the essentials for cooking, coffee and sleeping. Thank you for having us!
The house was great with a mix of rustic and new. Perfect location for planning day excursions to Acadia National Park and surrounding seaside villages.
the house is beautiful, deer and other wild animals on the property. loved the wood stove. restaurants and shopping in Bar Harbor was a short ride. would rent again
Beautiful home and location! We loved the nearby trail walk to the bay and seeing the neighborhood deer. The house is beautifully done and we loved its atmosphere. Would definitely want to come back!
We stayed for a long weekend. The location to everything was oerfect we were able to drive in any direction to get to a site. The ammenaties were perfect and they had kids toys! 10/10 would rent again.
Excellent visit to MDI. Enjoyed the house and loved being on the quiet side of the island. House was exactly as described, clean and simply super cute! My family enjoyed listening to birds on the new deck! Highly recommend.
The Perfect Maine Stay is well named! This huge log cabin could comfortably sleep eight, not including the couches. The rooms were spacious and there were extra charging accessories for our charging needs.
This cabin was very clean and the owners paid meticulous attention to detail for their guests.
How about s’mores around the campfire, and if it rains, there were some board games and/or if you want to sit back and relax there were books to read! We hope to use the kayaks and canoes in the future too.
We brought some food to cook and were happy they had had several different pans, every spice you can think of and even a cutting board and knives to slice our cheese.
We look forward to using all three cozy decks next time. The woodwork is excellent inside and out!
There are three floors with two full bathrooms (lower floor and 1st floor). (Two people can take showers at the same time with no change in temperature or water pressure).
Any questions I had, Val was right there to send me a reply via text.
My parents, my husband and I can’t wait to return as soon as possible!
We all recommend this amazing cabin to our family and friends!
I really liked this place. It was a nice wood cabin set back from the main roads. Surroundings were quiet and peaceful. The fire pit was amazing. Majority of regular gousehold needs/linnens/untensils were provided. Nice and clan interior. Only real nitpick is the grass couldve been cut, but other than that perfect!
We love Acadia and this was a unique and fun home to stay in. We hadn’t stayed on this side of the island and I am glad we did. It was a fun location to do some things we hadn’t done before and the house/kitchen was perfect for us as a stopping ground. I would suggest adding another railing up to the loft, where the netting decoration is. Our kids ended up finding places to sleep on the main level because we were a little worried about safety coming down the stairs at night. It was also hot so we were more comfortable on the main level. We loved our stay and will be back.
My family of four had a wonderful experience while visiting Maine! This log cabin home topped off the outdoor experience while we hiked and did ocean kayaking. After a day of exploring Acadia and other surroundings, we couldn’t have asked for a better home to keep with the natural look and feel of Maine. Somewhat off the beaten path, which is what we wanted. Modern amenities, but the feel of being in the wilderness of Maine. Highly recommend the home and the host. Thank You for all the home had to offer.
