    We had a great time at the cabin! Super cozy and perfect for our anniversary trip. We brought our two dachshunds with us and they loved it too. Host was very responsive to the one question we had while we were there. The views from the cabin and pier were amazing!

    Stayed for a week with husband, my sister and her husband. Absolutely loved the property. Perfect size for the 4 of us. The kitchen had what we needed. Plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. Very quiet; we never saw another person. We went down to the dock every day, some days twice. The rope to guide you down was much appreciated! Saw some seals in the bay, but never the resident porcupine! Stargazing was amazing and we even saw the northern lights. Host was responsive when we ran out of propane. Would highly recommend this property. It was about a 20-30 minute drive to get to places in town, but worth it. We would return again. PS - be sure to visit the Schoodic peninsula part of Acadia. Best part of the park!

    This spot was so peaceful and beautiful. We could see the seals and hear the loons. Sitting out on the screened in porch was a highlight. The ammenities in the home are great, particullarly the kitchen. As readers and knitters, we found many comfortable spots in the home. All with excellent lighting. I was a bit concerned about the spiral stairs with the dog, but no need. There is access from the yard directly into the upstairs. The host was outstanding and responded to my questions immediately. I highly recomment this home and hope to return next year.

    We had a lovely week at this cabin on the lake. We rented kayaks for the week locally and enjoyed lots of seals, loons and a bald eagle on our kayak adventures. The house is about 15 -30 minutes from all the spots we wanted to bike and hike but easy drive. If you want a quiet, peaceful escape from the world, this is the place to go. It was a clean and comfortable stay and I highly recommend.

    My wife and I stayed at the house in May 2025 and we loved it. The house was very clean and furnished with everything we needed. It is perfect for two or four people and we hope to return in the future. (Just note that the correct street number is 71, not 77.)

    This location was everything we were looking for. Very homey and comfortable. The opportunities to observe wildlife was fabulous. Can't wait to go back.

    This was my wife's and my first trip to Acadia and it's a trip together we will never forget. Our stay in this home was nothing short of wonderful. It was *immaculately* clean, comfortable, full of amenities, secluded, and peaceful. Owners were extremely responsive to questions (within minutes every time). Falling asleep in the upstairs bedroom and waking up to the sun shining on the water and through the trees through the large window was amazing. This home was the quietest place we have ever been. Beyond the home, if you've never visited Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park - do yourself a favor and put it on your bucket list. We enjoyed the people of Maine, the food, the unbelievable national treasure of Acadia, and the clean air. Go to the top of Cadillac mountain, hike the Coastal trail, hike the Jessup path, spend a day and evening in Bar Harbor, sail the Margaret Todd, and most *definitely* check out the Ranger-led star gazing nights (twice a week) at Sand Beach. Get food and Blueberry Pie from Abel Lobster. Mainely Meat & Barbecue, together with Atlantic Brewing Company, are 10 minutes away from the house and we did take out 1 night to enjoy at home. We would 100% without hesitation stay here again, and this has raised the bar for what we can expect from a rental.

    The place is gorgeous. A little cabin tucked away on a tidal inlet with a dock. We sat on the dock 3-4 times watching the sunset after exploring MDI and the ANP all day. Great communication and an amazing stay.
