Quiet stay

We had a great stay. The cabin is in a quiet area. The gas grill and fire ring for campfires is a plus. The cabin was clean and had plenty of space. It is a quick drive into town and a short drive to everything in Acadia.

Loved Everything! Nothing like hiking right into Acadia from the back yard. Kids loved the loft and the sofa couch. We were also very pleasantly surprised when we learned they had an EV car charger we could use.We hope to come again, but maybe for 2 weeks next time, one week is just not enough time.

Quaint cabin on the edge of Acadia

The cabin was very clean and spacious. It was great having linen and some basic supplies available, including firewood! The host greeted us in arrival and was available if we needed him. The best part was being able to walk out of yiur cabin and access Acadia trails.

Fantastic Stay

This property is fantastic. The cabin was clean upon arrival and well stocked with all the essentials. My family (two adults + 3 kids) had plenty of space. The location is secluded but close enough to Southwest Harbor that you can run into town for groceries, shopping, etc. The outdoor area around the cabin is amazing, with plenty of space for the kids to explore, a fire pit, grill, and direct access to Acadia trails! We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful family vaca on the “Quiet Side” of Mt. Desert Island

We had a wonderful vacation at Marj and Rob’s cabin! Perfect for a family of four. Easy to get to anything we wanted to do from hiking, lobstering, kayaking, restaurants or just swimming in lakes or the ocean. Cabin has all you need to unplug from your daily routine and enjoy each other and all Bar Harbor and Acadia have to offer. Rob and Marj had great recommendations and are wonderful hosts. Wanted to stay longer. We will be back!

Fantastic forest cabin!

This property is the perfect resting spot to base a trip to Acadia National Park! For our family of 4, the cabin was spacious and had all the necessities including a great washer and dryer, full kitchen, and warm shower. We loved the fire pit and appreciated that the owners had kindling, logs, and even a marshmallow roasting stick carved and ready to go! The cabin is tucked in a forested area and literally backs to some excellent hiking trails on the quiet side of Acadia. Highly recommend! We would stay here again in a heartbeat if our travels bring us back to MDI!
