About this property

Ocean View Cedar Chalet/ 10 min to Acadia

Cedar Chalet is a spacious 3‑bedroom, 3‑bath home set on a private, wooded lot overlooking the beautiful waters of Frenchman’s Bay. Nearly every room captures the view through large windows, and the expansive deck offers a peaceful place to start your morning with coffee as eagles soar overhead or to unwind at sunset with a beverage.

A private boardwalk shared only with our log cabin leads you to the shoreline about 500 feet downhill. From this beach, guests may see seals feeding in the bay or sunning on an exposed rock in the bay. Kayaks can be launched as well (can be rented / delivered from local companies).

Inside, the home features an open‑concept layout with the kitchen, dining area, and living room flowing together—ideal for families and friends who want to spend time in one shared space. A major 2021 renovation added a new kitchen, living area, bathrooms, bedroom, and deck, giving the home a fresh, modern feel while maintaining its coastal charm.

The chalet offers three comfortable bedrooms. The second‑floor master suite enjoys a stunning panoramic view of the water. On the main floor, the bedroom can be arranged as two XL twins or converted into a king, making it a great option for guests with mobility considerations or for children. Other than three steps from the driveway to the porch, all common areas are located on this level.

The lower level also features beautiful water views through large windows in every room. Here you’ll find a second master bedroom with a king size bed and a second living room with a premium queen plus sleeper sofa for additional sleeping space.

We have blackout blinds available in every bedroom for those 5 am summer sunrises in Maine.

Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Cedar Chalet offers comfort, privacy, and unforgettable views.

7 day minimum from 5/28-10/26 (Saturday - Saturday) except 6/27-7/5 (8 nights) and 7/5-7/11 (6 nights). Reach out directly to book these weeks near July 4th.

We have an outdoor security camera located near the driveway.

We own the log cabin (the sole other house on the road). It is a great opportunity for two larger families to be close by and enjoy a very peaceful, nature rich vacation- Bar Harbor Log Cabin #2588174.

Much needed family getaway!

It was a beautiful place to spend time together as a family. Communication with the property owner was proactive, thorough, and extremely helpful. The location is perfect for accessing all of the beautiful spots in Acadia and the surrounding Mount Desert Island area. Every part of the property was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. We can’t wait to plan our trip for next year.

Our family of 4 fell in love with the stunning home and property immediately upon arrival. The views are incredible, the home has everything you could need, and the owners are incredibly kind and attentive. We hope to return and enjoy it all over again. Locating and accessing the property was quite simple and that holds value for us when traveling to unknown areas. Amazing vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Douglas

Host profile image
We are a fun, family of four, that loves to hike and be outside. We love Acadia National Park ! There is no better place to unplug and get away from it all. Often my parents and brother/ sister in law accompany us. Some of our favorite things to do are to sit on the porch and have coffee in the morning, enjoy the sunset after a long day of hiking, and have seafood fests including plenty of lobster and mussels at the big outdoor dining table.

Why they chose this property

This house is the perfect mix of being in a very wooded, private spot while also having big oceans views and water access.

We personally use this house as a spot to reconnect and relax so it has been freshly renovated with families and friends in mind. Games, books, and inside information on all the best things to do in Acadia and Bar Harbor are available.

The area is extremely quiet and a great place to enjoy the people you love.

What makes this property unique

A lot of the houses on the island are close to busy roads and have a lot of car noise. We bought this house specifically because it was so quiet. A sound you don't often hear now days.
