Got this as a surprise for my in-laws for Christmas since they used to family vacation here. We did typical sight seeing stuff. The house was perfect to hang out at after a long day. Even on a rainy day we were able to enjoy the rain fall on the deck and stay dry. House is exactly at described. Hosts very responsive albeit we had no issues, but day off did ask for an earlier check in. We were notified as soon as it was ready for it, that was very appreciated.
My family of 8 & 3 dogs loved this cabin! It's clean & well stocked & just as described. The teenagers enjoyed sleeping together in the loft area. The proximity to Bar Harbor & Acadia was perfect. We could go out & explore the area & head back to the cabin for lunch before heading out again. When we weren't out exploring we loved the large porch & fire pit. Host was great to work with. Would definitely recommend!
This cabin was perfect for my first trip to Maine. I traveled with two other adults and two dogs. We were in Acadia for most of the days and this cabin was just what we needed after hiking all day long. The cabin was private and had a good amount of outdoor space. Clean, cozy and had everything we needed. If we ever find our way back, we would def stay here again! Very close to Acadia and bar harbor.
We had a wonderful weekend in Bar Harbor. The cabin felt quiet and private but also close to downtown and the park. The house was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
Maine cabin in the woods near Bar Harbor and Acadia Park
Cool cabin in the woods. Enjoyed our stay. So close to Bar Harbor and to Acadia National Park. The cabin had everything we needed (items you can't bring when you fly to the destination), so we appreciated that. Only suggestion would be to update the towels and have more of them. They are thin and worn.We had a great time and would highly suggest this cabin!
Awesome place. Host was easy to communicate with and stay was awesome. Very convenient for families - they have baby/toddler crib and noisemaker which was very helpful. Would stay again for sure!
We stayed here for a long weekend in October with our 3 kids (9, 7 and 4) and my parents. Location was great, close to Bar Harbor but far enough to feel in the woods. Fireplace wasnât working but owner responded quickly with extra space heaters for us.
The property is ideally located if your trip in includes Acadia National Park.
Bar Harbor is only 10-15 minutes down the road, so you can have your cake, and eat it to!
This place allows easy access to literally everything, while also allowing you to get away from the crowds when needed. Details are accurate and the hosts couldnât make check-in easier ! Thank you!
This little cabin was just what we needed. Close to everything but far enough away from the crowds to be peaceful and relaxing. I would do this again anytime Iâm going to be in Bar Harbor.
The cabin is located in a great spot about 7 minutes to downtown bar harbor and 10 minutes to Acadia park. The place is nicely secluded and private in a quiet area. We had a great time as a family group of 6 visiting the town and the park.
Note: prior to staying but after booking, we were a bit hesitant due to a previous negative review by a Hillery with an E left about the place not being adequate. However, this is an entirely inaccurate review of lies. While the cabin is rustic and woodsy, it is entirely what you see and read in the photos and description.
The property could be nice if it was well maintained or equipped. We were sorry we extended our stay. We ended up getting another better cottage for our guests who joined for last 4 nights. It was half the price and lovely. Outside is dirty with cobwebs, rusted lights and filthy grill. Kitchen appliances are old, rusty and decrepit. Smells of mildew throughout. Fridge leaks water and has mold in doors. We went shopping to buy basics like glasses instead of drinking from jelly jars for 13 days. The bathroom with laundry is good. The price is ridiculous for what we got. We felt totally ripped off paying almost $10k.We took our trash and recycling to public facility rather than opening huge dumpster in front. This was the worst rental we ever had.
We loved staying in the cabin in the woods. It was a perfect location- close enough to get into the park and Bar Harbor, but far enough to feel removed from the hustle and bustle.
The property was back from the road in a wooded site. It was convenient to the sites. We ate breakfast in and then people did their own thing. Used the fire pit a couple of evenings.
We spent five nights in this wonderful cabin with our three teenagers. Itâs in a perfect location, a short drive to Bar Harbor and an easy drive to both Sand Beach/Otter Cove and Bass Harbor sections of Acadia National Park. Itâs a short walk to Salsbury Cove from the cabin, which is a lovely little cove offering charming views. The cabin is private and quiet, surrounded by pine trees. We enjoyed sâmores and hot dogs around the fire pit, and sitting outside on the deck enjoying nature. Thereâs a great miniature golf course (Pirateâs Cove) a two minute drive from the cabin, and an ice cream shop right across the street from golfing. Perfect for some fun family bonding time after a day exploring the park. The cabin was the perfect size for our family of fiveâŠbig enough for each of the kids to carve out a space for themselves. We would definitely recommend this spot to families who want a prime âbase campâ for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia.
We really enjoyed the big porch and looking out at the trees. The kitchen had nearly everything we needed. We appreciated the fans, given the hot and humid weather, and were grateful to be able to enjoy a fire in the outdoor firepit. The cleaning fee felt high, given the chores we were asked to do before leaving. Overall, a great spot for a family gathering.
