About this property
Merchant's Log Cabin
Centrally located between Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Schoodic Point. This log cabin is waterfront with kayak's & canoe available. Gorgeous meadow and bay views. Located in the center of Hancock village just 35 minutes from Bar Harbor. Having been born and raised here I know you wont find a more peaceful and relaxing log cabin around.
Resturants: Going on vacation is all about eating what you want, when you want it. If you like a little upscale dining, the Cabin is within walking distance of Chipper's restaurant. Chippers is a locally owned restaurant with the owner himself cooking your meal every evening. If you are looking for something a little less upscale, just a few minutes down the road is Ruth and Wimpys. With the HUGE menu selection, you won't be disappointed! 7 miles away in the town of Ellsworth is the best fried seafood, burgers and ice cream around. Jordan's Snack Bar is also locally owned for over 25+ years. If Maine Lobster is what you are looking for, Lobster Pot Restaurant in Ellsworth is where you want to head. This restaurant is overlooking the Union River with outdoor seating available. The Lobster Pot has a large menu for everyone, including the children. Don't miss out on their homemade Blueberry Pie!
Somethings you don't want to miss out on:
Biking or walking the Carriage trails in Bar Harbor.
Tidal falls-Down east Maine's very own reversing falls with nearby Frenchman's Bay, outdoor barbecue and live music.
If antiquing is a hobby of yours, you will have many around town or just 7 miles away in the town of Ellsworth.
