Loved the cabin and property. As described. Beautiful view. Great location. The only thing we would suggest was maybe investing in more plush towels and maybe a pair of robes to enhance the experience.

Amazing setting with a great view of the ocean. Cabin was in excellent condition, very clean with a great wood cabin vibe. The whole process of checking in was seamless. The staff stayed in communication and all we needed was the code for the door. Very comfortable bed, and a heater was provided which worked great. Would definitely stay here again.

We were looking for places around Bar Harbor to stay, and this did not disappoint. It’s an hour away, but honestly, we liked it better than being in the town. The space was much higher quality than even the pictures show. Very clean, quaint, with great amenities and a view you can’t beat. Plus the owners send texts with recommendations and have an amazing guest book. We had everything we needed and more.

Cute little cabin, very clean and new. Front porch with chairs and a view of water and woods. Friendly lady at the desk in main building. No free breakfast due to time of year. Near Acadia and several restaurants by car. Very private and quiet area. Parking right next to cabin which was convenient.
