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.

A quiet cabin within walking distance of Acadia NP

Yes, you read that right. A short private trail enters park property and leads to a connector of the Western Mountain trail. A short drive west of Southwest Harbor, you'll find this side of the park a bit less overwrought than the gridlock of Bar Harbor. Don't worry though, there are enough restaurants and cafes within a fifteen minute drive to cover all your meals. The cabin sits along with another (soon joined by a third) on a wooded private parcel. The general area is unappealing light industrial, but that has no impact on the quallity of your stay. The host was friendly, helpful, and unobtrusive. The property was neat with modern amenities permitting you to cook as much as desired. We used the gas heater a little, and found it responded quickly and effectively. Definitely need a vehicle to stay here, but you'll find the park is really not hard to get around and there are many activities within a short drive.

Acadia Teip

The cabin was very cozy and backs up to some great Acadia hiking trails. Just a few miles from Southwest Harbor town proper. 30 minute drive to busy side of Acadia. Only negative is there is no where to store clothes besides a few hooks on the wall. Not that big of a deal tho. Lived out of suitcase just fine.

Amazing!

We stayed at the Acadia Explorer cabin 1 for two weeks in August. All the reviews are true! It’s located on the Quiet Side of the island, with its own access to many trails (it’s a short walk from the Gilley Field parking), so there’s a lot of hiking that can be done without having to drive. The cabin was clean and well equipped, as outlined in the description. EV drivers, there’s an electrical outlet outside (bring your trickle charger). Cabin 1 might be a little small for 4 people unless it’s a family with children. Rob is a great host, communications was quick and easy and when we needed something, it was taken care within minutes. We had a beautiful vacation, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great 😌little place on the “quiet side” of desert island!

This Is a great little cabin in the woods. Walking distance to some beautiful trails. And a short drive to everything you want to see at Acadia national Park. The cabin was extremely clean and beautiful knotty pine. The only negative I would say is that the ad says it sleeps four. It would be very tight with four people, Rob and Marge were very attentive and available whenever we needed something. Would highly recommend cabin one.

Acadia Trip

Rob & Marj have a wonderful Cabin that we really enjoyed. It was perfect for our week trip to Acadia. It was centrally located to most things and it was quiet and private. It was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. There are many places to eat near by and plenty to do in Acadia and in nearby Bar Harbor. Overall it’s a very great stay. The pictures don’t highlight how great it really is! I would definitely stay here again when I’m in this part of Maine.

A wonderful little getaway

When planning a trip to Acadia with my kids, I didn’t really know where to stay. I was fortunate to stumble upon this little cabin in Southwest Harbor. If you’re looking for frills, this isn’t your place, but with a location as perfect as this cabin, you don’t need them. The inside is cozy and met our needs well. The outdoor area is beautiful and has a grill, picnic table and plenty of yard space for the kids to play. The property backs right up to the park, so you can venture out on a nature walk right from the cabin. The location is great! It’s very quiet and peaceful and set back from town, so there’s no neighboring noise. Southwest Harbor is a quaint little town, which had a pace I preferred much more than that of Bar Harbor. All the hikes we went on were 30 minutes or less of a drive. The furthest we went was to Schoodic Point and that was about an 80 minute drive. There is a beautiful lake in Southwest Harbor that offers slightly warmer swimming water than the ocean offers. This was a wonderful place to hang our hats after long days in the park and definitely a place I’d recommend to others.
