Hobby Horse - Rustic Maine Cabin, Ocean Access 22 miles from Acadia Nat'l Park

Great property. Very private and secluded. It did get cool outside (29 F), and the space heaters struggled to keep the cabin warm indoors, but we kept warm with blankets and layered clothing. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Adorable cabin! Rustic, comfy, charming and equipped with everything you need. This is a fantastic place tucked back in the woods along with access to a beautiful cove. It was nice and private feeling but close to everything the area has to offer. We would absolutely stay again!

We have stayed at the Hobby Horse several times and with each visit, it feels more like our second home. The cottage is always clean, comfortable and has everything you need in the kitchen. The town of Surry provides a perfect base camp location to enjoy surroundings from Acadia National Park, Ellsworth, Blue Hill and Belfast. This year we attended the Blue Hill Fair and it did not disappoint. A few consistent highlights for us include: Perry's Lobster Company, Pugnuts, Fogtown Brewery (Ellsworth), and hiking the Carter Nature Preserve. We also took advantage of Contention Cove, to relax and beach comb. We can't thank you enough for sharing the Hobby Horse with us and look forward to our next adventure. All the best!

Wonderful place to get away.

Cottage was beautiful, beautiful setting, quiet and restful. Only thing that would have been better is if there was a firepit.

The Hobby Horse was better than we expected - super quiet and quick drive to town and Acadia NP.

There's much to recommend the Hobby Horse but the woodland path access to the beautiful rocky beach which we found excellent for swimming on some unusually hot June days can't be beat!

Hobby Horse was a wonderful home away from home for the week. The dogs had property to roam, plenty of ammentities in the house to never want to camp again, the the water access was amazing to go down and have coffee in the morning. Close enough for hiking, but out enough that youre not in the commotion of the big cities!Throughly enjoyed our stay!

Nice for a small group or family. Fully equipped kitchen. Space heaters for chilly mornings. Plenty of towels, sheets and blankets. Just left nice info package of places to go.

Little chilly this time of year but space heaters did the trick. Cozy, rustic little cabin in the woods. We were quite comfortable and the location worked well for us. Liked the windows in the LR and charm/history of the place.

Great place to stay while we visited family in the area. Enjoyed the cozy quiet.

Great spot to stay and make day trips to many area attractions! Very nice accommodations!

We were relaxed and at home from the moment we pulled up to the cabin. The location was very convenient--close enough to amenities and activities that you didn't have to be gone for the whole day if you didn't want to, yet far enough from hustle and bustle that you could just enjoy the sounds of nature. Our kids enjoyed the beach and exploring in the woods near the house. It got very cold on a couple of mornings so the whole house was damp, but once we pulled out the space heater it fixed that within an hour or two. There aren't a few modern things (dishwasher, washer and dryer) that we have grown accustomed to having, but we had no problem washing dishes by hand and going to the laundromat only a few miles away when we needed to. Overall, a great time that we all enjoyed.

My husband and I spent three nights over our anniversary at the cabin and had such a relaxing, fun time. Everything was just as pictured and great location. The cabin is very comfortable and short drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Lots to do in the area. We hope to return again.

We spent 8 nights at the Hobby Horse and found it more than met our expectations. We loved all of the woodwork, the pictures, the knick knacks and the ambiance. Coupled with modern wiring, a 4k tv, and strong internet it was brought into the modern world nicely!

Excellent location, a beautiful property. The kids loved going down to the beach everyday. Close proximity to all the wonderful things Maine has to offer in the area.

We were looking for a nice rustic cabin with privacy that had water access. The cabin was the perfecr place. Check in process was easy. Great location if you want a place that is private but still commutable to area attractions. The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 was the lack of ceiling fans in the bedrooms and even a window air conditioner would have been great. It was very humid during our stay so nights were a bit uncomfortable. Still loved the place.

Such a lovely cabin. The pictures don’t show off how cute this place is. The location is perfect. It’s calm around and Acadia and Bar Harbor aren’t that far away. The beach is only a few minute walk from the porch too. Liberal we loved it would would definitely come back for future Acadia trips!

Husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary 30th. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and had microwave, coffee maker, as well as all the pans and dishes needed. Beach was a short walk away and fun to explore. Cool breeze from ocean was lovely in the evening.
