Private Ocean side rustic cottage with beach Bar Harbor

Stay was great on Indian Point near Bar Harbor, ME. Really enjoyed the location and the peace and quiet away from town. The cabin was comfortable but the bedroom and bathroom were a bit small and hot with no A/C - we were there during an unusually hot week in August. Otherwise would have rated 5 vs 4. The wildlife (seals and eagles) and proximity to nature was awesome.

Any description doesn’t do this place justice. Magical! Like no place I’ve ever been. I will be back!

Absolutely such a special place! It’s hard to put into words how beautiful the views were. The history of the cabin was amazing. Our son and a blast beach combing and listening to the seals. I didn’t ever want to leave the cabin to go into town.

Quiet. Quaint. Right on top of water. Secluded but close enough to Acadia Park. Rustic. Check in was easy. Kitchen was fully stocked.

Great location right on the waterfront. Beautiful sunsets.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a little slice of heaven! Nestled at the end of a long dirt road, past land owned by the Nature Conservancy, it provides a private, secluded oasis from how busy Acadia National Park has become. I went in June with my husband and two sons (ages 7 and 10). We watched seals sunning themselves on the rocks right in front of the cabin and swam everyday at the little private beach just steps from the cabin. The boys explored the exposed rocks at low tide. We fell asleep and woke up to the quiet lapping of water and distant calls of sea birds. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cook. We cooked almost every night and ate dinner watching the wildlife. There are some items to note that may not make this everyone's cup of tea. First, there is no laundry or dishwasher. The cabin is small and you have to walk through the bedroom with two single beds to get to the room with a double bed. There is no AC. The sun comes up very early in the summer. The internet is adequate but not super fast. But if you are looking for incredible natural beauty, seclusion, opportunities to watch seals, and direct access to the beach, while also being very close to the action of Acadia National Park, this is for you.

What an amazing place. We have been coming to Acadia for years and this has to be the best kept little secret. The cabin is so homey and comfortable and the views and wildlife is spectacular. We rented kayaks that were delivered to the door and loved starfish hunting and seal watching. Very easy to get to carriage roads and bar harbor but found we wanted to spend more days hanging in the natural beauty at the cabin!

Loved staying here! Sunsets over the water and Blue Hill were fantastic. Great location. Grateful for stewardship of special place and opportunity to visit.

Property was located in the most ideal location for privacy and convenience. The cabin sat right on the water and access to the beach was just steps away. Some neat history if you read through some of the artifacts throughout the cabin. Our kids had a blast finding/catching crabs, clams and even oysters! Watching the seals was an event in itself -they were so close. The cabin was rustic. Nothing fancy, but we were okay with that. Somesville church had amazing baked pies (must try) - within 10 mins. Town Hill market had great deli sandwiches and ice cream - less than 10 mins. The Travelin Lobster was good and super close - less than 10 mins. Blagden Preserve had a hiking trail closeby which was convenient AND free EV charging spots (which was helpful). Lots of things to see and do.

This place was amazing! Peaceful, beautiful, and just what my boys and I needed for our vacation! We woke up to the beauty of the water each day along with the seals sunbathing nearby. This was a quiet, rustic retreat close to many trails near the cabin and not far in Acadia. We are so thankful we had this opportunity and are forever grateful!
