About this property

Come, relax, and enjoy true peace and beauty.

This cute as a button 2 bedroom 1 bath, 1200 sq/foot log cabin, is located in a private setting on 2.1 acres of wooded land. A master bedroom with king-size bed on the main floor, and a large loft with two full beds, above; a queen-size pull-out sofa bed in living room; linens supplied. Spacious main floor, with area encompassing living-room, dining-room, and kitchen, in an L-shaped layout. Large windows for natural light to stream in, propane gas heating system with ceiling fan. Large bathroom with shower and tub; access to which is through both master bedroom or living-room. Modern appliances and cookware in kitchen; plenty of counter-top and kitchen utensils with which to create a feast, or a snack. Full basement with washer and dryer. Screened-in porch at west-end of house (access from living-room), furnished with wooden lounging chairs, facing the harbor, 90 feet from water's edge; a short walk through gorgeously gnarled mossy spruce, and you'll have 340 feet of water frontage to enjoy. In backyard is a gas grill and a charcoal grill. Explore each nook and cranny of rocky coastline, or find your spot and watch the tide flow in and out. Spectacular sunsets are yours to behold every evening. Lay out on the flat grassy lawn and watch the clouds and bald eagles pass overhead, as the bouquet of garden flowers bob like buoys in the fresh-salted coastal breezes.

Beautiful escape from it all.

The cabin was beautiful, clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for a weeklong stay. My family enjoyed exploring the water’s edge and laying in the hammock, and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet (and sunsets on the non-foggy days). The Magee’s were excellent hosts, checking in with us twice during the week. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us!

Beautiful Cottage on the water!

We feel as if the photos do not capture how amazing this place is! Beautiful, relaxing location. Tons of crabs in the tide pools for the kids to find. All of the necessities and a well equipped kitchen. Away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia NP, while still capturing what Maine is about! We ate lobster every day we were there, and enjoyed being in the small town of Milbridge. Hosts were great, and communicated with us and answered any questions we had.

A peaceful spot

A shady and peaceful respite by a rocky shore...what could be better! We grilled and enjoyed having our dinner on the mossy “patio.” We rented a canoe and set sail right from the back yard. The property was close to many wonderful trails and destinations...Wonderland and the Park Loop being personal favorites. The house was clean and lovely.

Lovely stay

We had a great stay at the Magees’ cabin on Bar Island. Dennis called after we arrived to make sure we were settling in okay. Their cabin is so comfortable- kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals, screen porch was great for relaxing any time. Lots of personal touches made it very welcoming. We enjoyed visiting the rocks and watching the tides, seagulls, shore birds and lobster boats, and walking on the island road. We visited local towns and businesses (recommend Ray’s Meat Market, Chipman’s Wharf, the Knotty Lobster, Robertson’s Sea Tours), and Schoodic Point. The Magees provide lots of suggestions for things to see and do. Great value, so glad we found this one!

Great experience!

Felt like being welcomed home. Beautiful property. Beautiful home. The Magees were very pleasant to talk to and readily available if needed, though they have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Such a relaxing place to be and we were truly blessed to have the opportunity. We spent most of our time down by the water watching the many different birds, crabs, seals, dolphins, red squirrels (quite the little characters) and deer as well as the boats coming and going and the neighbors digging for clams during low tide. Also thoroughly enjoyed reading Dennis' autobiography!

About the host

Hosted by Helen Magee and Dennis Magee

Host profile image
Dennis Magee grew up in Eastern Massachusetts but spent many years in Western Massachusetts during his attendance at UMass-Amherst. Helen Magee grew up in rural Western Massachusetts and graduated from Northampton Commercial College (NCC). We met in the Spring of 1973 at a Polish Polka dance in Hatfield, MA., and were married on June 1, 1974. We have two grown sons, and we currently live in a log cabin home in Groton, Massachusetts. Dennis is a botanist by profession and spent his career working at Normandeau Associates in N.H. as an Environmental Consultant. Helen was a career Executive Secretary at Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq and HP.

Why they chose this property

Dennis' environmental work placed him in Maine for many years. Each year on our anniversary we would travel to Maine on vacation and, we couldn't help but fall in love with Downeast Maine. With each passing anniversary, we started to explore what our options would be to have a little cabin somewhere on the coast of Maine -- somewhere way North of Bar Harbor so we could enjoy peace and tranquility and be away from summer tourism. We settled on a Bay property so that we would not be affected by Nor'easters. We feel blessed that we were able to accomplish our dream, and therefore we want to share this little cottage with others for a nominal price.

What makes this property unique

Located on a small island away from but still with reasonable access to a major population center. Small population of fishermen and lobstermen and small seasonal population of mostly retirees. Very quiet and peaceful. Facing west toward the sunset and away from the prevailing Northeast winds. Fresh seafood readily available within walking distance and at reasonable price. Numerous coastal hiking, boating, kayaking, fishing and bird-watching opportunities close near by. Truly a place for spiritual renewal.
