We had such a wonderful relaxing vacation at this Maine Cabin. Tucked away in dense woods and a tidal ocean view, located a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor this home offered us everything we could ask for in a Maine getaway. A few improvements on this cabin and we would give 5 stars. We plan to return again.

Hidden Gem

Celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday - 6 of us. Home is very spacious and allowed everyone/couple to have their own bedroom. Plus having a main floor bedroom was ideal for my husband who has a hard time with steps. The home is secluded-with rustic charm inside. Beautiful outdoor setting but a little hard to get near water as there is a drop off and steps/rocks unstable. Overall a very enjoyable experience with playing UNO and s’mores by the fire. Would definitely book this home again.

Hidden Gem

We found this hidden gem by chance when looking for a quiet oceanfront place to stay with our family and dog. Home was as advertised and we immediatwly wished we booked a third night. Clean, quiet and right at the waters edge.

The location was private and perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the fire pit. The house was very spacious and clean. The view was amazing and the deck was a great place to have our morning coffee. Vacasa communicated with us regularly to make sure everything was ok. We are already planning our return trip when we can spend a whole week!!

Secluded Home on the Bay

Beautiful home with lots of space. Reasonably priced. Sit on the deck, walk on the beach, play games with your family, enjoy the firepit . . . Schoodic Peninsula is a short drive and it's not far to the rest of Acadia Park. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Location

We rented this beautiful home for a girls trip. The property was very clean and spacious and we loved the screened porch dining area. The kitchen was well equipped with washer/dryer looked brand new. Coffee on the deck in the morning was lovely. It's very quiet and peaceful. We would rent again if we return to Maine. Property management was quick to respond if needed. So much better than a hotel!

Watch for seals frolicking from the deck

House was big and clean. Gorgeous property with million dollar views. Appreciated the attention to detail to make our stay so comfortable. While the drive was an hour to Bar Harbor, there were plenty of local hiking trails and beautiful scenery in Gouldsboro and nearby Schoodic Peninsula. Tracey’s Seafood drive up restaurant was a surprise treat for a delicious lobster roll.

Vacationland

This is coastal Maine at its finest with the most spectacular view. Harbor Myst is what Vacationland is all about. The homeowners made sure we were comfortable with all necessities. It's a great location, secluded from the business or Bar Harbor which is about an hour away. Great local restaurants. We found the local seafood, off the beaten path were excellent. Great place for kids. We will be coming back again!
