Cabin with ocean views, minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor

Location:
The Guest House is situated on the north coast of Mt. Desert Island, also known as Frenchman Bay. It is only seven minutes (2.5 miles) from the Acadia National Park visitor center and 13 minutes (5 miles) from Bar Harbor. Fun and safe bicycle routes lead to both the park and town. Nestled among pine trees, the cabin offers a stunning view of Frenchman Bay. There is a communal deck with a picnic table overlooking the bay where you can enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and watch lobster boats in the morning as they head out.

Note that this is an uninsulated cabin. Which means that if it gets chilly outside - it'll get chilly inside by morning. The wood stove makes great heat. There are also two space heaters and we supply electric blankets.

The Guest House has a sister cabin, the Pines VRBO# 887970

Amenities:
There is a large living area with kitchen (stove/oven, refrigerator and sink), eating area, sitting area with wood burning stove. There are two bedrooms. The cabin sleeps five. One bedroom has a queen sized bed. The other bedroom has a bunk bed and a twin. There is WiFi and you can stream from your mobile devices to the TV. The cottage has a large covered porch for sitting. We also provide a charcoal grill. Parking is next to the cabin.

Why Us:
This is a peaceful and quiet place. We’ve been renting the Guest House and its sister cabin, the Pines for over 50 years. We have customers who have been coming here for a decade or more. This is a great place for a couple or a family. We also make it easy for you to bring your pets. We have pets and know how nice it is to bring them, so please bring yours!

The property is shared with another cabin 100 yards up the hill and a large house 50 yards closer to the cliff.

Great location, very comfortable
We loved this little cabin! It had everything we needed to be comfortable, and the location was great; it was close to everything we wanted to do but still far enough away to be quiet and peaceful in the evenings. The view from the dock was gorgeous! Our hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions/requests. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay.
The house is described accurately. It is tucked away in beautiful wooded area that overlooks the water. It is in a great location, close enough to be convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but far enough out that you aren’t dealing with traffic or congestion. We took our dog with us and the trees surrounding the house was a lot of fun to play ball with him in.

Wonderful week
We had a truly wonderful week at the guest house. The location was perfect - quiet, amazing views and an easy short drive to Acadia National Park and everything else we wanted to do on MDI. We loved going out to see the stars at night and watching sunsets. The cottage was super clean, very well stocked (best of any VRBO we’ve ever stayed at). The beds were very comfortable. Communication with owner was great.We loved our time here!

This is the Place
We were back for our 2nd year and had another great stay at the cabin. Rustic, cozy, quiet, and beautiful views of the water from the deck. The cabin is well stocked. Great proximity to downtown Bar Harbor. A few of our favorite restaurants are Havana, Sweet Pea Farm, and Project Social. 2 Cats never disappoints, if you’re looking for a great breakfast. We highly recommend this property if you’re looking for an authentic cabin experience. We’ll be back!

Cute cabin
The home was adorable and cozy, the owners were extremely helpful and it was just a few mins from everything we needed to do. We loved sitting by the wood stove and spending family time in the evening after night fishing and shell searching.

Comfortable rustic cottage
Great central location and convenient to the park as well as the “quiet side” of the island. Nothing fancy, but it was comfortable, a true “Maine” experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Acadia Week
Cabin location is magnificent, large deck and sitting area right on water with easy access to rocky beach. View sunrise on water. Close to Acadia Hulls Cove Visitor Center. Cabin is rustic but clean and tidy, loved wood-burning stove, large deck, and easy access driveway.

Beautiful view of Frenchman’s Bay
The Pines is exactly as listed and provides a very convenient location close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch looking at Frenchman’s Bay. Beds were comfortable and this rental is perfect for those looking for a clean, no frills cottage close to everything.

Early season guest house stay
Kevin was a very welcoming host, very communicative and responsive. The cabin was most comfortable, especially with the wood burning stove to take the morning chill out of the air. Great access to Bar Harbor and Acadia. A very restful and enjoyable stay!

Great stay
Stayed here for the week with my fiancé to have a nice quiet week together to relax and enjoy Bar Harbor and Acadia. The cabin is AWESOME! Beautiful views of the water and we were lucky enough to have the shared deck all to ourselves so we spent a lot of time chilling down there. The location is perfect for trips into town as well as exploring Acadia, and everything else about the cabin is exactly as advertised. We had an amazing time and cannot wait to to come back! Highly recommend booking this spot!!!

Our family loved staying in the Guest House. The backyard deck and the access to the water was amazing. We were able to kayak, fish, find mussels and watch sunsets over the water right on the property. The house was just what we needed. Thank you!

Relaxing, rustic waterfront retreat
I stayed at the Guest House for one week with my elementary school-aged kids. The home has water views and access, all the basic necessities and is perfect if you're hoping to have a relaxing, quiet vacation. The location is perfect for accessing Acadia National Park--one of the entrances is a five-minute drive away. Bar Harbor isn't much farther and offers food and shopping.

Sand point rd cabin
The cabin was exactly as I expected. It is just a short walk to the beach, which was very nice. Unfortunately it was a cold and rainy week, so the cabin was pretty damp. I was thankful for the extra blankets and towels. It was clean and check-in was easy.
