Great 😌little place on the “quiet side” of desert island!
This Is a great little cabin in the woods. Walking distance to some beautiful trails. And a short drive to everything you want to see at Acadia national Park. The cabin was extremely clean and beautiful knotty pine. The only negative I would say is that the ad says it sleeps four. It would be very tight with four people, Rob and Marge were very attentive and available whenever we needed something. Would highly recommend cabin one.

Acadia Trip
Rob & Marj have a wonderful Cabin that we really enjoyed. It was perfect for our week trip to Acadia. It was centrally located to most things and it was quiet and private. It was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. There are many places to eat near by and plenty to do in Acadia and in nearby Bar Harbor. Overall it’s a very great stay. The pictures don’t highlight how great it really is! I would definitely stay here again when I’m in this part of Maine.

A much needed get away
My fiancée and I visit maine annually for my birthday. This trip has been the best one yet! Rob was very kind and finding the house was very easy. The cabin made for a lovely, intimate week of being in the middle of a beautiful island. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin! Hope to stay again one day! - Kenedie and Alex from Rhode Island

A wonderful little getaway
When planning a trip to Acadia with my kids, I didn’t really know where to stay. I was fortunate to stumble upon this little cabin in Southwest Harbor. If you’re looking for frills, this isn’t your place, but with a location as perfect as this cabin, you don’t need them. The inside is cozy and met our needs well. The outdoor area is beautiful and has a grill, picnic table and plenty of yard space for the kids to play. The property backs right up to the park, so you can venture out on a nature walk right from the cabin. The location is great! It’s very quiet and peaceful and set back from town, so there’s no neighboring noise. Southwest Harbor is a quaint little town, which had a pace I preferred much more than that of Bar Harbor. All the hikes we went on were 30 minutes or less of a drive. The furthest we went was to Schoodic Point and that was about an 80 minute drive. There is a beautiful lake in Southwest Harbor that offers slightly warmer swimming water than the ocean offers. This was a wonderful place to hang our hats after long days in the park and definitely a place I’d recommend to others.

10/10 Would vacation here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and on MDI! It was nice to come back to the “quiet side” after spending the day hiking & exploring Bar Harbor. Rob was quick to respond when the grill was out of propane. He greeted us upon our arrival & gave us some tips & tricks to the island. Would stay here again & recommend it to a friend!
