Stayed Aug 9, 2025The Bi-Valve is quintessential Maine cabin. We had a wonderful stay on peaceful Herrick Bay. The kayaking was fantastic - our favorite paddle was around Naskeag Point for a picnic on Hog Island. We really enjoyed the lookout deck - love being able to see the Milky Way and shooting stars at night!

Stayed Jul 12, 2025We loved the location, the screened-in porch, proximity to the water and the cozy, comfortable cabin. Weather even permitted two or more swims! Kitchen was well appointed, beds were comfortable and we particularly appreciated the heat on cool mornings. Great stay and we would like to come again.

Stayed Jul 19, 2025The screened in porch, view, and ability to go mucking right out the door were just delightful. Thank you for warning ahead to bring old sneakers to muck. We went out twice, the second time even finding large crabs. The bathroom was small and the cabin a bit remote, but it was a beautiful view. the screened in porch makes up for alot. We also like the viewing deck.

Stayed Jul 5, 2025We love Bivalve. It was our third stay there. The cottage is well-equipped and has a classic rustic feel. Spending time on the porch or observation deck is good for the soul. We discovered the bar at Brooklin Inn and had an excellent dinner at The Lookout Inn.

Stayed Aug 9, 2024We had a fantastic time spending almost a week at the Bivalve. It was not too long of a drive to Acadia and other beautiful places to explore. It was the perfect spot for the five of us to enjoy our first family vacation in almost a decade!

Stayed Jul 27, 2024Our second visit. Quiet location, easy distances for daytrips and screened-in porch when not day tripping. We are senior citizens, and we discovered last summer that it's difficult to maneuver the canoe in and out of the water (although the owner has now built a launch deck). We rented kayaks from the Activity Shop--they deliver and retrieve them--and enjoyed using the deck for sipping wine and reading. If you like the Maine woods, water, etc., it's a five-star location.

Stayed Jul 13, 2024The Bivalve, a rustic cabin on a quiet cove, is the perfect place to get away but still be close to good restaurants (Brooklin Inn, Tinder Hearth, Aragosta) and great hiking (Acadia and Great Pond Mountain). The kitchen is well stocked and the screened-in porch, right on the water, is idyllic. Saw seals and eagles daily. We hope to return.
