This cabin was a great place to spend a week in Acadia! Gave that "in the woods" feel but was still within easy driving distance of all the park's highlights. I hope to have the chance to stay again!

This beautiful, secure and peaceful property sits on the National Park Service border of Acadia National Park. It is very easy to relax at the fire pit all while enjoying watching the wildlife. We saw plenty of whitetail deer, a big buck and wild turkeys. Our hosts were very friendly and a delight to chat with. We look forward to returning again to enjoy more perfect autumn weather!!

What a wonderful stay! The cabin is in a beautiful quiet setting yet convenient to area activities. The cabin itself is extremely clean, bright, and well equipped. We especially loved the nights outside at the fire pit (everything needed provided) and being able to walk out our door to mountain and lake trails in Acadia. Communication was also good. We hope to return soon!

Great stay!

Our family had a wonderful time at this cabin. It was exactly as advertised and fit out four children perfectly. They especially loved playing Cornhole in the evening. We are already talking about planning a return trip!

Perfect Cabin

Exactly as it looks in the pictures, the cabin was clean and well stocked with all the basics. An added plus is that you can access trails in Acadia NP from the cabin. Enjoyed our stay, even though it rained every day. Would stay there again.

Quiet stay

We had a great stay. The cabin is in a quiet area. The gas grill and fire ring for campfires is a plus. The cabin was clean and had plenty of space. It is a quick drive into town and a short drive to everything in Acadia.

Best place to relax!

We love to camp in Maine and this cabin is like the best campsite with a sweet house. We hiked on the trail right next to it and thoroughly enjoyed the peace, quiet and privacy. This is our third time renting this cabin and Rob and Marj are the best. Loved every minute of our time here!

Great, quiet spot near SW Harbor Center

The cabin is clean and perfect for an active family of 5. The “grass” is moss and the grounds are so pretty. You can hike Acadia right off property! I always do laundry on vacation and the stacked appliances were great!

Quaint cabin on the edge of Acadia

The cabin was very clean and spacious. It was great having linen and some basic supplies available, including firewood! The host greeted us in arrival and was available if we needed him. The best part was being able to walk out of yiur cabin and access Acadia trails.
