The Poet’s Cabin was great for our stay! The property matched the description exactly, was very cozy, and was in a nice quiet area but still allowed for easy access to things like restaurants, grocery stores, and Acadia National Park. Thanks for a great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the Poet’s Cabin. We were glad we chose SW Harbor versus Bar Harbor. We loved the town and the restaurants were yummy. We truly enjoyed Acadia Park. It was beautiful!

Great spot!

We spent three days and loved that we were far enough away for peace and quiet but close enough to be anywhere in Acadia in 30 minutes. Cabin was fun, clean and everything we needed.

A Very unique stay

The proximity to the Acadia national park drew us in, but this little cabin is absolutely adorable- once you get used to the stairs! Perfect for a couple’s getaway or a lonesome traveling poet seeking inspiration and adventure

Disliked: Communication
We had emailed the host twice and never received a response. We had water damage to our home the day before we were to travel here making us unable to leave our home. We are able to provide documents/photos. Happy to discuss further email was sent to the host on the booking.

Cozy cabin in very quiet neighborhood just outside of Southwest harbor. Hosts provide great info on local hikes, restaurants, etc. Stairs to upper bedroom are indeed steep as advertised but sleeper sofa on ground level is very comfortable. Outdoor firepit perfect way to finish the day. Would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommend!

Staying at the Poet's Cabin was a fantastic way to explore Acadia. From the thorough communication, to the ideal location, to the amenities, I would recommend Poet's Cabin to anyone. It was the highlight of our mother/daughter trip. We can't wait to come up again!

Awesome stay!

Adorable tiny home cabin! Perfect spot because you can get to so many things. Peepers and the fire crackling at night, along with hiking around Acadia National Park, made this a perfect experience. So glad to get away from reality for a couple days and just enjoy nature and good company.

Our stay at Poet’s Cabin was perfect. It was far enough away from the business of Bar Harbor but close enough that we could drive over quickly and eat, shop, and do touristy things. The cabin was cozy and relaxing. So many great hiking trails around. The food recommendations from the owner were spot on! The wildlife around the cabin were fun to watch! We saw a lot of deer and wild turkeys.

Loved my stay at Poet's Cabin! The cabin was adorable, clean and cozy. It's even nicely decorated outside so you're charmed at first sight. The owners were fantastic and responsive, even when I arrived late at night, and provided a detailed guide to the area, tips and recommendations, as well as a heads up on a local event that affected local roads/travel. I only wish I could have stayed longer! If I return to the area, Poet's Cabin will be my first pick.

Excellent Stay!

Property exactly as advertised. Stayed w/ my teen daughter for Acadia visit. Really enjoyed being on the quiet side of things, yet easy drive to everything. Great communication from owner incl full listing of things to do, places to eat, etc. Would definitely recommend.

Great location for Acadia trip

We had a wonderful stay at the Poet's cabin. It is a nice little place for visiting the Acadia National Park area. It also has a very good sitting area outside and the hosts are very helpful and welcoming! The only issue is that the door opening to the bathroom is very low (I'm 6'2 and hit my head multiple times on the top of the door frame), and the shower is very small. The home is exactly as advertised and a great place to stay, but wanted any other "taller" people to be aware before booking.

1st time to Acadia

It was a first time visiting Acadia, and it was very nice to escape the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and the park visitors to the secluded quiet side of the island. Absolutely everything you would want or need was provided by the hosts. Never had a single problem. Saw some deer visiting the property. It was a very comfortable and quiet stay just as we had wanted.

Amazing stay! Fresh flowers, a note, some sweet treats AND a bucket of ready-made ice- what more could one ask for on arrival?Perhaps some poems? Very cozy place with all the amenities needed. Front porch was a wonderful extension of the space. Bed was super comfortable. Sleeper couch was perfect (no dang bar). We explored the quiet side of Acadia and especially enjoyed the use of the provided paddle boards on Long Lake. Our last morning we woke up at 3am to hike Cadillac Mtn. Visit was too short - need to book again!

Peace and Quiet in Acadia

We had a wonderful time at the Poets Cabin. Perfect location for our adventures in Acadia National park. Was so nice to come home every evening to a quiet and restful place. Carra snd Sean were perfect hosts; everything was as listed and better! So much to do! Did not have a chance to take advantage of all the property has to offer! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome cabin with us! Should our travels find us back in Acadia, we will surely revisit! Highly recommend this property!!

Cute and cozy

This tiny house had it all! Very efficient and comfy! We cooked, used the grill, and the fire pit for s’mores. We also rode the 3 bikes and took the cooler with us for our drinks. Perfect place for two peeps but we were fine with our 23 year old daughter on the sleep sofa! Highly recommend! Our hosts thought of everything. Their attention was in the details! Thank you

Cozy cabin near acadia national park

The cabin is close to Acadia National Park in Manset. It is very cozy inside and out. The bedroom, in particular, is nice and cozy and a great retreat after a long day of hiking. The kitchen is also very well equipped, and we were able to cook great meals. There are little signs everywhere explaining how everything works. That was very helpful. The selection of books and games is also great. Outside, there are nice seating areas and a fire pit. If you look out of the window early, there is a chance to see wildlife. We saw deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, and many different birds. It is simply beautiful there and very relaxing. We hiked the suggested trails and were very impressed by the diversity and beauty of nature.
