Another wonderful stay

I've honestly lost count of exactly how many times we've stayed at Helen's cabin. We keep coming back because it's really lovely. Comfy, cozy in the right places, open and airy in the right places. It's hard to imagine visiting MDI and Not staying here.

Great stay

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was stocked so well and there were all sorts of Maine decor. We really enjoyed the porch, fire pit and grill and it was nice being on the quiet side of the island. Helen was extremely communicative and even replaced the grill immediately upon us realizing the old one wasn’t working. We highly recommend!!

Great stay

Overall a great stay! I dont think its the himeowners fault but google maps does bring you to the wrong house so that was confusing. The only other thing is we were wondering was instructions for dirty bedding and where they wanted the trash.

A rustic cabin

We had a pleasant stay , kitchen well stocked with dishes, cooking pans and nice variety of spices. The location was great, not too far from Acadia and many great places to visit. We had several enjoyable evenings around the fire pit. Definitely a low key, relaxing place to stay.
