This was our second time staying in The Pines, and we will undoubtedly be back. The cabin is rustic, but well-appointed. We did a mix of eating out and cooking at "home," and had all of the equipment we needed. I appreciate the privacy and quiet of the cabin, while still being close to everything that the Park and Bar Harbor have to offer.Kevin is wonderful host, and skilled at checking in without being obtrusive. We knew we could reach him and/or the building caretaker if we needed anything, but all was well until we checked out. If you stay in the late Fall (my favorite time), plan to use the wood stove - which makes the cabin cozy, especially if it rains. Thank you again for a lovely visit!
