About this property

Outstanding Oceanfront Log Home near Acadia National Park

A Message to Our Valued Renters:

We’re sure that you are experiencing more stress than you would like in these uncertain times.
A great spot to just relax and enjoy the view. Our renters agree that the photographs don't do it justice. A large great room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bay, and has a stone fireplace so you can watch the sunset or sit by the fire. The kitchen is very well appointed and includes just about everything the chef desires except the food. There is a full laundry room with a washer and a dryer. No need to waste hours at the laundromat. The rec room includes a ping pong table, games, video tapes, DVDs, and satellite TV as well as a cozy stone fireplace and a seating area to relax and enjoy the fire or the spectacular view of Frenchman Bay. The children's bedroom is furnished with a full/twin bunk bed, a twin size bed, and a Pack n Play. In addition there are two beautifully furnished bedrooms with queen-size beds. There is a queen size sofa bed in the great room, another in the rec room, and two comfortable inflatable beds which each sleep two adults.


The home is located about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor, the hub of activities on Mount Desert Island and gateway to Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor offers dozens of restaurants and shops and also kayak and bike rentals.

Hikers who prefer less crowded trails will find that nearby Black Mountain and Schoodic Mountain offer gorgeous panoramic vistas of lakes, ponds, Frenchman Bay, and the Porcupine Islands without the large numbers of hikers found on the better known trails of Acadia.

Winter Harbor, just 5 minutes away, offers galleries, shops and dining, all located in a quaint lobster fishing village with a picturesque town harbor and dock. A passenger ferry runs numerous trips daily from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. Lobster pounds abound, and two are located within a couple of miles of the house. Swim and fish at nearby Jones Pond or Donnell Pond at the foot of Schoodic Mountain. Kayaks can be rented in nearby Birch Harbor and kayak tours can also be arranged.

The entrance to the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park is a few minutes from the house by car or bike, and is a beautiful 'secret' spot which is visited by only a few of the thousands of visitors to Acadia.

Amazing property! The pictures are as advertised but it’s more amazing in person. Great views and very peaceful. Great location to stay outside of Bar Harbor (about 45 minutes by car) but 10 minutes away from Schoodic Point entrance (a must see). The owner was great to work with, very responsive, and provided great recommendations on things to do. This is a must rent for families or anyone looking to visit Acadia. We will definitely rent this house again.

Schoodic Peninsula Spectacular

The location of this home was peaceful, serene and majestic. The home was clean, comfortable, warm and inviting. We had a terrific time in Maine and at this fine home. We would definitely return to stay and vacation in this area. Outstanding is an accurate description of this home.

What a beautiful property! We had a wonderful time staying here and waking up to the gorgeous views every single day was so relaxing. There is so much room in this house and we can’t believe how much we enjoyed the ping pong table. We found new skills we didn’t know we had!We loved being away from the Bar Harbor and the crowds yet it was an easy hour drive away. But within 10 minutes of the cabin there are great restaurants, a grocery store and some fun shops. Visit Acadia NP that’s on this side and there are great trails to be had. NO CROWDS!The cabin itself is fully stocked with every pot, pan, spices that you could need. You will need to bring your own shampoo and paper towels but that’s about it! Just grab a cocktail and sit on the wonderful deck overlooking the water. Would definitely stay here again. A week wasn’t long enough!

Beautiful oceanfront home

This was truly a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. The ping pong table, ring toss game, and game room were a big hit. The house is very close to Winter Harbor where you can enjoy restaurants, the Five and Dime, etc. The only negatives (which we’re not terribly negative) were the poor lighting and the bed in the master was not a king size. But overall, we loved this house and would gladly stay again!

Loved this hidden gem

From the moment we stepped inside the front door of Rich and Karen’s cabin/chalet we were completely captivated and totally mesmerized. The incredible view of Frenchman Bay greets you the moment you walk through the door. And if the view doesn’t blow you away all of the detailed wood work, high ceilings with beams and craftsmanship that went into the building of this home will take your breath away. They really thought of everything to ensure you and your family are entertained in their home from the ping pong table to board games to adventuring in tidal pools during low tide you’ll love the peaceful down time and chance to unplug and reconnect as we did.

Very nice property But no hand soap or soap in the bathrooms plus only one roll of toilet paper and every bathroom and I for an entire week would’ve been nice to have more toilet paper and some hand soap at least to wash up after using bathroom Also, hurricane Lee was heading towards Maine the day before was supposed to hit while we were out homeowner came in and rearranged patio furniture into the house would have been nice to be told he was coming into the house That day, while we were out in the entire thing in the lack of communication there

Paradise on Earth

There is no way to summarize our experience at this incredibly beautiful home and setting. To start with, the service, the cleanliness, the layout was perfect. We had no trouble finding it, and no trouble settling in for our honeymoon stay. The first view we had of the ocean (bay) was mind-blowing: And just a few steps from a rocky beach. The deck was a perfect place for morning tea, reading and listening to the breeze in the pines and the water sounds. Lunch on the deck was sometimes even better, with the warm sun shining down. Though we had great, memorable days exploring Acadia, with hiking, biking and sailing filling our time, our best times were right there in the house. We literally hated to leave, as the peace and quiet, beauty and natural wonders made it all heavenly for us. We look forward to returning. We recommend it highly!

Beautiful Cabin on Maine's Coast, Secluded, Quiet

We absolutely LOVED our time at this incredibly beautiful and spacious log cabin on the Schoodic Peninsala of Maine! The cabin is superb - very well done, tastefully decorated! The views are unbelievably breathtaking of the ocean, harbor, and islands! We were in awe! Richard was so helpful when we had questions and was wonderful to work with! While we loved being out and away from everything to truly 'get away', our only regret was that it was SO far away from everything!! I think late October means that most local places are closed down; and the travel distance to Bar Harbor was a bit further than we had anticipated.(50 minutes or so) But if you want to just relax and enjoy the cabin and the views, the amazing fireplace, and quiet, this place is amazing! if we were to come again, we'd come in summer or September, while the ferry still runs across to Bar Harbor! thank you, Richard, for sharing your beautiful cabin with us!

Beautiful house, perfect location. Short ride to Winter Harbor and Schoodic Point, the quieter side of Acadia. This is a second year staying here and absolutely love this area! Coffee on the deck facing Frenchman's Bay is incredible. After a long day of activity, bike riding or sailing, it was a comfortable place to end the day, preparing for the next. Washer & dryer make packing easy.

Peaceful and scenic

House was immaculately clean and impressively spacious. The photos do not do it justice. The view was beautiful, and relaxing out on the deck during mornings and evenings was absolutely sublime. The beach down below at low tide was very enjoyable to explore. Excellent location for visiting the Acadia Schoodic side of the park--minutes away. Ferry to Bar Harbor was great too.

Amazing View!

My husband booked this for us for our 40th anniversary, our first trip east--we are from southern Illinois. We found this cabin to be VERY clean, seems fairly new, and has an amazing view of the water. Each morning I got up, made a coffee, and sat out on the deck to watch the transformation from night to day--AWESOME! We travelled to various areas to shop and hike, and had some great food from local restaurants--of course you will want to order a lobster roll or some other seafood. It was perfect! We really love the cabin!

Idyllic waterfront home

A beautiful, quiet spot with wonderful views. We saw so many lovely sunsets. The lobster boats on the water were fun to watch too. The house was so comfortable and clean. The host even gave us a call to tell us about the northern lights which we were able to see. Amazing!
