    We had the MOST relaxing time! The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for.. QUIET… cozy… AMAZING location. The beds were comfortable & we had everything that we needed. I will most definitely stay again. The hosts were very accommodating & easy to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin. We had a wonderful week!

    Furniture needed to be updated and refreshed. while I understand this is an 80 yr plus cabin and want to maintain that idea, futon mentioned in previous reviews as an example was worn out...we did not sit in it. Mice were apparent in kitchen upon waking up every morning. Safety: while instructions said leave outside path lights on they were off and we were unaware of how to turn them on...they led to a long path where we had to park...also steps down from new part of cabin where bedrooms were to old part were a little hard to manage in middle of night (bathroom in old part of cabin). Bath should be updated. Although was said that could put kayak in water out back, could not put our 22 ft kayak in backyard water even if we had tried...would have been too dangerous going down to hill to do so to water. Beautiful views and location quiet and yet still nearby to a lot...restaurants and water (ex. Ike's Point) to put kayak in and hiking.

    We stayed there in 2021 and absolutely loved it, so we returned. Again, we had a wonderful time. This cabin is exactly what we look for and loved, rustic but comfortable, remote but convenient. If I live closer, I probably would come here every few months ;)

    The cabin is rustic and quaint but had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The location was beautiful and it was close to everything. A grocery store essentially right up the road, the town of Southwest harbor a couple miles down, very easy access to Acadia National Park. We had the best time and would definitely recommend staying here. We hope to come again in the future!

    We had the most magical week staying in this rustic, cozy, peaceful cabin with our two children. Walking down the soft path of fallen pine needles, listening to the sound of the babbling brook, and sitting in the rocking chairs, watching birds, sailboats, and even seals playing in the inlet were all highlights of staying at this serene cabin. There are bird feeders all over the property with cute little seating areas, picnic tables outside, beautiful skylights in the living room where you can lay down and watch the pines above you, big windows in both bedrooms surrounded by pines, overlooking the brook, and in the master a lovely seat looking out to the sound. If you want a peaceful retreat, while also being close to great restaurants and shops on the quieter side of the island, look no further!

    If you’re looking for rustic, romantic, relaxing —— this place is perfect! We were very comfortable and enjoyed this place immensely. It’s not pristine and the bed could be better, but it was a reasonable tradeoff for a wonderful view, great fireplace, cozy furnishings, and total privacy.

    Love this area and the cabin is utterly peaceful. Beds so comfortable, and watching the herons, osprey and an eagle divine. Thanks for thinking of every comfort.
