Cozy & Well Equipped Log Cabin on Secluded Pond in Bar Harbor near Acadia NP

I have always loved this cabin and visited it often with my family. When my daughter was about 3 years old she had her baths in the red soaking tub. She used to call it, her diving pool.

The blue skies make me wish that I could soar like a bird.

I enjoy hosting because people tend to love the cabin and area. I provide cooking equipment and other amenities most rentals don't bother with. Visiting friends have told me that I don't need to be so generous. It feels good to share my appreciation by creating a home-like ambiance rather than a stripped down rental experience at my property.

There are several families who have returned every year since their first visit more than 15 years ago. Their children live in various states. They always join their parents here for however long they can manage.

Many good memories have been made here and they last forever. I received an inquiry from an Aunt whose niece had just graduated from high school. The aunt had asked her what she would like to do to celebrate. The graduate told her she wanted to make a return visit to Harper's Acadia Lodge. Unfortunately, I was booked for the only dates that would work for them.

This is only a brief sketch of the joy I have experienced through being a host.

I invite you to stay and see what's memories you can create.

I love the pond and the various animals who visit it. We have had beavers, owls, porcupines, a variety of birds residing here.
My husband used to skinny dip in the pond even in colder weather. He would fill the red tub with hot water before he raced outside to jump in. One time, he tripped over a porcupine and ended up with a few quills in his foot. When he came in, I couldn't stop laughing while I dutifully pulled them out of his foot. It was lucky the porcupines weren't taller!

The pond is one factor people enjoy. I own all of it. I have some water toys such as 2 kayaks, paddle "chairs" to explore the pond with and a new addition which I hope will be fun. You will have to come here to see it.

Some people swim in the pond. I like to float on it.

Another feature that many children enjoy is Morris the Moose.
He is quite large and gives great hugs. I once drove to New Jersey with him buckled safely in the front seat. People on the road couldn't believe what they were seeing. Seated, he was as tall as a person. We were quite a spectacle.

Some of the decor reflects gifts from friends who enjoy moose.

Over the years it has gotten excessive. I am thinking of reducing the Moose population. I welcome comments from my guests.

Some children like to count the moose and leave their results in the guest book.

There is an ice cream maker which is another item which may make this property unique.
