Secluded Rustic Cabin in the Woods with Distant Water View
A peaceful cabin in the woods for your family to get away from the cares of the world. The reviews from all of our guests are outstanding, and you too will enjoy sitting on the deck and relaxing, or walking through the woods or exploring the shore and swimming in Maines famous chilly water!. It is all new with new furniture, beds, kitchen, bath, bedding and much more. The cabin has a bedroom and sleeping loft upstairs. The main floor has a well equipped open kitchen with dining area. The living room is spacious and comfortable with a lovely view of fields and trees, with a distant view of the water in the background. The bathroom is located on the first floor next to the stairs to the bedroom and sleeping loft. A large porch with chairs ensures a peaceful and quiet stay.
A path down the gravel drive takes you across the brook and down to a set of stairs and our own private beach. The view is beautiful and the water is refreshingly invigorating! The cabin is located a short walk from our cottage listed as #501514, in case you want to bring more friends or family.
A very comfortable and quiet getaway. Even your dog will be happy.

The Homestead cabin is a true gem! We felt instantly relaxed and at home, nestled in the peaceful woods with stunning ocean views just a short walk away. The mossy trails were enchanting, and watching the two Daisys play on the beach was a highlight. Thank you, David and Carolyn, for creating such a welcoming and special place. Your hospitality was much appreciated!
A week full of sunshine, beautiful Maine around us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better location, the Homestead cabin is perfect and the hosts were the nicest ones we ever had!
We enjoyed every minute
It exceeded our expectations. Dave and Carolyn are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed the seclusion, short walk to the water, being close to Stonington and hiking areas.
Perfect location for avid outdoors people or for anyone who loves nature and the peace and seclusion it offers. The close proximity to Acadia National Park is icing on the cake! David and Carolyn are gracious hosts and everything was perfect for our stay! Will definitely try to visit again!
The Homestead Cottage was just what we were looking for! Quaint and quiet in a forest setting with the ocean steps away. David and Carolyn were wonderful host with tips on things to see and do in the area along with answering questions about things we saw. Their dog Daisy was also very happy to see our Golden Girls. We look forward to returning next year!

Everytime we stay here the experience gets better. Beautiful weather all week. David and Carolyn are excellent hosts. They were very welcoming and the friendliest people you will ever meet. We intend to rent the cabin again.
Cabin was beautiful and just the right size. We had everything we needed. Carolyn and David were super responsive to any questions. The inlet beach is so picturesque and peaceful and we saw seal pups each day which was a highlight for us. Acadia and Bar Harbor are 1 hr and 20 minutes away as an FYI but this is a great place to stay away from the crowds
Extremely wonderful place to relax. Amenities are very nice. If you want a secluded, peaceful, quiet place all to yourself with a short walk to rocky sea shore, then this is the place. The sunset was awesome from the shore. Be prepared for a mile long driveway deep into woods of Maine. We looked forward to returning to cabin after day of exploring Acadia.
This is perfect for nature lovers looking for peace and quiet and a complete opposite to the over run mad house know as Maine tourism. If you love the quiet outdoors and fun freedom for your well behaved dog , this is the spot! The owners Golden Retriever, Daisy , is an absolute joy and kept our pups entertained. Owners are wonderful, hard working, very friendly and welcoming. You just can’t go wrong staying here !
For the most part, the weather was terrible, but the kayaker did get in several paddles in a spectacular area for paddling.
The cabin is perfect for our needs and was very comfortable. Our hosts were outstanding.
We are already booked fr the same tíme next year.
We have stayed here many times. Each time is better than the last. David and Carolyn are exceptional hosts. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. We are from Maine and we look forward to staying here every time and are crest fallen whenever we have to leave. Homestead Cabin helps us to recharge our batteries. The visits to the beach, the trails, the views and so more are to be savored.
The Homestead Cabin was a magical place in the woods. It is just as described down a long driveway and a short walk to the water. We were greeted by the sweetest dog who showed us the path to the beach. I am so glad we picked this cabin for our first trip to Maine. You won’t be disappointed.
We have stayed here for several years and i plan to stay here for many years to come. David and Carolyn have created that oasis that each of us needs for vacation. They have provided for our every need. Even during the days it rained, it still felt as if we had our own woodland paradise. We are always greeted by the owners. There is so much to do on and off the island. The island community provides a wonderful Independence day celebration. The parades, community events and the glorious fireworks over the harbor are always our favorite. You will never run out of great places to eat and if you choose to stay in you will have everything you need to enjoy the Maine experience.
This is my 3rd visit to The Homestead Cabin - it is my annual respite that I look forward to every year. I couldn’t be happier with the calm, peace, and tranquility that this little northern piece of paradise offers. From the privacy of the cabin, the beauty of the shoreline, and the fresh air of the forest - I can think of nowhere else I would want to be. Thank you for yet another amazing year/vacation with you all!! I will definitely be back!!
One of the quietest places I ever visited. We had a very relaxing one week stay. Loved launching the kayaks right from the beach. Our doodle was very happy here. The private beachfront is amazing.
Property is remote and quite excellent for those seeking a retreat into the natural beauty of Maine.
This is our third stay. We love this spot. The property is clean, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped in LL Bean style with touches such as muffin tins and pie plates to bake blueberry pies!
There is a beautiful private beach with steep stairs for access. You might be tempted to never leave the cabin.
Our hosts were helpful and attentive to our needs but respected our privacy.
We had the most amazing time at the cottage which is absolutely perfect in every way. Our hosts are incredible people and have the sweetest puppy named Daisy. Check in and out was very easy, and the cottage truly has everything you need. It was immaculate upon arrival. Absolutely recommend this rental.
I am a returning guest to this gorgeous property, having booked my second stay immediately after my first. The tranquility, pristine landscape, private beach, and access to Acadia and Bar Harbor are just a few of my favorites about the Homestead Cabin. I totally plan on returning year after year.....David and Carol are gracious hosts and I couldn't have asked for more......
Very clean, cozy, quiet, well appointed and just as advertised. Enjoyed hiking, kayaking and walking around Stonington. Great place to unwind.

About the host
Hosted by David Friedell
We are two retired music teachers that retired here many years ago so that we could live in the woods by the sea in a peaceful and beautiful place. Carolyn spends her days working in the garden and David pursues his lifelong interest in tinkering and playing the pipe organ. We came here as newlyweds and summered here for our whole married life. It was a great place to raise our two boys who spent their childhood in the woods, on the water or helping their parents build something or other. It is our pleasure to share this wonderful place with guests.
