Cozy little cabin

This was a perfect cabin to getaway and relax. It was close to Bar Harbor and all the fun activities but also far enough away to enjoy the wilderness. The owners were close by if we needed anything as well.

Great overall stay. Our host Rob greeted us upon arrival. Had wood provided to use for fire pit and even a bags game if so inclined. Location excellent on quiet side backs up to hiking trails of Acadia NP. Bed was very soft and laundry on site. We loved our week there and would stay again if we make it back to beautiful Acadia NP.

Clean, comfortable, well-kept cabin perfectly located for Acadia adventures. Close to restaurants, and many cultural activities. Pier for ocean cruses a very short drive. Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with everything we needs for a week long stay. Access to hiking and biking trails right off the back of the property. We'll be back.

Fantastic central location in the Southwest Harbor. Pleasantly surprised there is a direct walking path just outside the cabin to Acadia National Park trails. No complaints whatsoever. Very clean, new plushy towels, comfortable bed. Contacted the host one time to request paper products and a pan for cooking, and they delivered in less than one hour! Will definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family looking for a spot in Acadia!
