    Felt very secluded with a nice view of the stars above. Within walking/biking distance of a lake. Fire pit and wood was a lovely addition.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The cabin has all the basics for a nice stay. I liked being on the quiet side of the island and having some trails right outside the door. The owners respond very quickly to any questions.

    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.

    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.

    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.
