This property was such an Amazing find. Walking distance to town and yet it felt nestled deep in the woods. We saw so many animals in just a few short days - deer, turkey, and even a sweet skunk! This property is a wonderful basecamp for visiting Acadia and feels very removed from the chaos of other nearby places to stay. The night sky from this cottage is incredible. Be sure to visit the local restaurants and shops- everyone we met in Southwest Harbor was so welcoming. We will make this property our Go To for Acadia and the surrounding area every time we visit Maine.

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy cabin! Check-in was seamless, and the house was spotless and ready for us upon arrival. As a family of four, we found the space to be incredibly well-designed—our kids (ages 11 and 14) loved sleeping in the loft, while my wife and I were very comfortable in the bedroom on the main floor.Although the cabin is compact, it never felt cramped. The layout, furniture, and even the bathroom were thoughtfully arranged and made the space feel open and inviting. Everything—from the indoor seating to the outdoor furniture, grill, fire pit, and kitchen appliances—was in excellent condition, super clean, and a joy to use.The location was ideal: just 20 minutes to Acadia’s main trails and Bar Harbor, and only a few minutes to the nearby downtown. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area.We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed stay near Acadia park. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

This cabin was amazing! The location back in the woods up the end of the road was a welcome retreat after days exploring the island and Acadia. The deck was perfect for coffee in the morning or drinks at night. The sunrises were beautiful to watch from our own bedroom. :). Fire pit was so cool to have and the wood provided was perfect . Vicki was a great host and we’d definitely come back for a stay in the future.

Perfect location and all the amenities in a cabin-like setting. Easy to walk to town (just walk down the long driveway) but just as lovely to relax feeling away from it all. The deck was perfect and we had a nightly firepit with the fully stocked solo stove. Laundry in the outside area was very much appreciated as were the games tucked away inside. We loved every minute of it!

Our second time here. It is a lovely cottage with great location. After the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor this meticulous and quiet cottage is a perfect place to unwind with a plus of a fire pit with wood provided each day. Highly recommended !!!!

A lovely property with a beautiful rustic cottage. The attached deck is perfect to sit, relax, and enjoy the falling leaves. You are only a few miles from Acadia National Park and walking distance from the harbor. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Perfect location and experience

Quiet location in the woods was a wonderful spot to unwind after long days of hiking. Enjoyed the fire pit, exploring the woods, and we enjoyed the uniqueness of an A-Frame cabin in the woods. Vicki was an attentive, and responsive host. Provided us with fabulous hiking recommendations to explore parts of the park we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. We would recommend this property to anybody. Thanks again we hope to be back!
