Secluded Cabin minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

This was our second time staying in The Pines, and we will undoubtedly be back. The cabin is rustic, but well-appointed. We did a mix of eating out and cooking at home, and had all of the equipment we needed. I appreciate the privacy and quiet of the cabin, while still being close to everything that the Park and Bar Harbor have to offer.Kevin is wonderful host, and skilled at checking in without being obtrusive. We knew we could reach him and/or the building caretaker if we needed anything, but all was well until we checked out. If you stay in the late Fall (my favorite time), plan to use the wood stove - which makes the cabin cozy, especially if it rains. Thank you again for a lovely visit!

Perfect location, close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Love the deck amongst the towering oaks. Quiet. Rustic, great wood stove, all the appliances you'd need. Great shower! This was our second stay and will definitely go back. Dogs lovved the deck also!

The cabin is very private. There is absolutely no noise from traffic etc. Our doggies loved it. There was an excellent area outside for them to take a walk and take care of their needs. Kevin was respectful of our need for privacy. He did connect with us as we were leaving. The cabin is well supplied and well-furnished in every way.

Overall, the location was excellent. Right outside of Bar Harbor and also close to a lot of and other towns and of course, right near Acadia NP, which was the draw for us. The biggest problem was that the cabin was not cleaned well. Bath mats were dirty, dead flies left on the window sill, everything had a layer of dust unfortunately, it just didn’t feel clean. There was dog hair on the bathroom floor dog and all over the welcome mat. I reached out to the property manager, and they quickly addressed some of the issues, but overall the place was not clean in my opinion. Well, I understand this is a cabin and things aren’t going to be totally sealed. They’re just seemed to be a lack of attention to detail when it came to preparing the inside for the next guests. The glass slats on the door were filthy. I ended up wiping a lot of things down and vacuuming while I was there. Also the shower is tiny and could use an upgrade. Although plenty of hot water. I am glad I brought my own pillows and blankets and towels. The towels that were offered were very worn and while they might’ve been clean, I didn’t want to use them. I appreciated that it was a dog friendly cabin and the location, but it needs a major cleaning.

Overall, we had a a lovely stay at this cabin! It was clean, the setting was beautiful and allowed our young kids ample space to run and explore outdoors, and it was very convenient to the town of Bar Harbor and our exploration of Acadia. The view from the deck is beautiful - we enjoyed walking down there at different times, seeing the different tides, and even seeing an eagle in front of the sunrise our last day!The cabin sleeping arrangements changed between when we booked and when we visited, so we ended up having to bring an inflatable mattress to accommodate our family. Kevin explained that there has been a change to rental codes that required the removal of one bed.We do wish there had been a few extra amenities - such as a spare pillow or two and kitchen basics like salt/pepper and oil - but we’d still highly recommend this cabin as a home base while visiting Mt Desert Island! 🦞

We loved staying at The Pines: cozy, quiet, and the perfect size for three adults and our well-behaved dog. I'd love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is rustic but charming and had everything we needed, and was close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We hope to be back!

The cabin we stayed in had everything we possibly needed, Beautifully decorated and very clean.Great location! Definitely we'll be back.

If not for the weather being a bit too chilly for me all went well. I gave 1 star for the property manager because i texted her once and never got a response. I texted the owner and got a prompt reply. If its chilly expect to burn lots of wood as we did. The 2 space heaters work well with the wood stove to make it nice and cozy. We brought a fan with us and placed it to the left side of stove to circulate warm air coming off stove. That really worked well. Loved the shower, nice and hot and good pressure. Well situated to get anywhere, nice surroundings, very wooded.Had eveything you needed in a kitchen. Loved the picture windows. The fact they accepted pets was the determning factor. Would go back again, absolutely!

very peaceful and enjoyable.

The cabin was exactly as shown in the pictures. It worked perfectly for us! Location was great, close to Acadia and Bar Harbor and in a quieter area.

We enjoyed such a peaceful week and slept so soundly! Loved enjoying my morning coffee while doing yoga on the deck with my daughter. We had easy access to get to every part of the island. Such a great place to come back to after our hiking, biking, and exploring activities! Easy access to and prompt replies from the property owner. Highly recommend this property.

We loved your cabin! While not right on the water, it was perfect to be in the woods a bit off the beaten path (yet still close to everything!). It was nice to sit on the dock and watch the wildlife and boaters in the evening. Sitting on the deck was so quiet and peaceful. We found ourselves sitting there in the morning and then again in the evening. The cabin provided all the basic needs. Kevin checked in on us to make sure all was good. Thank you for that!

The cabin was fantastic. It exceeded all of our expectations. Highly recommend. Would stay here again.

We loved our week at the Pines! It was the perfect location, close by to Hulls Cove entrance at Acadia NP and close by to downtown Bar Harbor. It was also easy to get to other other areas, less than an hour to Schoodic. Check in and check out was easy and communcation was easy too. The cabin had everything we needed and was nestled in the woods. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the evening after a long day at the park.

We absolutely loved staying at the cabin. Everything was as advertised and the setting was picturesque. The cabin was relaxing and quiet and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We can’t wait to get back to Maine! Kevin was a fantastic host!

My son and I stayed here for a week. It's a bit rustic but well provisioned. Our first night the temperature dropped to 45 degrees - fortunately it has space heaters. By the end of the week the heat index was over 100 - but the property manager came to the rescue with two tower fans that were just right. The beautiful bouquet of cut flowers on the kitchen table was appreciated. I'd stay here again.

We just got back from a wonderful stay at The Pines. The cabin has everything you need and is in the perfect location. Great proximity to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, as well as a nice mini golf spot. The cabin has a rustic vibe, and we loved that. It got chilly at night but the space heaters did the trick and we weren’t cold at all. Our dog had a blast too!

we loved it so did our daschunds close to bar harbor and acadia and great trips around maine. Kevin was great and happy to give us information. cabin is great somewhat rustic but that is what we enjoy. didn't miss anything and enjoyed everything ! we will come back asap !
