This lovely heated log home is located on ten wooded acres, with a running brook, and a pond. A family of beavers can be spotted in the pond at sundown. The large wrap-around deck is wonderful for sunning, reading, outdoor dining or star-gazing.

The kitchen is well equipped with an Induction stove with traditional, convection and air fryer oven settings, a new dishwasher. Other kitchen amenities include:
a Cuisinart Food Processor, blender, hand mixer, and crock pot.
Three types of coffee pots: French press, Keurig and Pour over.

The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen sized beds and 1 with twin beds. All linens are furnished. There are 2 full bathrooms: the 1st floor has a new Laundry Tower, the 2nd floor bathroom features a Japanese soaking tub with shower.

There is a ft. long desk on the 2nd floor equipped with a phone.
WiFi is provided by Spectrum and has speeds of 300 mps

The large "great room" has comfy arm chairs and a leather couch. Bookshelves filled with books, games and puzzles are for your use. Since this is a log house, there is a set of lincoln logs.

Nice cabin in the woods
The house is a charming log cabin located deep in the woods of a sparsely populated part of Mt Desert Island. It has a nice but small private pond behind the house. The house is overall nice, but definitely has some quirks and inaccurate listing details. Contrary to the listing, it does NOT have a hot tub. The upstairs bathroom has the most unusual “bath tub” I have ever seen - it is about 30”x30” and nearly 3’ deep. It is so tall they had to build a step next to it to get in. I would NOT want to let a smaller child take a bath or shower in it unsupervised due to its depth. It has a shower head, but the standing area in the tub is maybe 18” wide so you can barely turn around in it. For this reason, no one used it and everyone took showers in the downstairs bathroom (which is a relatively normal bathroom). There is an outdoor grill, but had no propane. Internet is good; without it there is very limited cell coverage in this area (Verizon). The washer/dryer is a stacked unit, located in the first floor bathroom partially in front of the vanity; this makes the bathroom rather small due to its size. Home is nicely furnished with suitable kitchen appliances and such. The house is not air conditioned. There are a couple fans in the rooms. It’s probably logical to be un-air conditioned for 10-11 months out of the year, but during our visit the weather was rather hot & very humid. Would benefit from AC. Overall a good cabin but far from perfect.

Close to everything yet secluded
This cabin was welcoming and well equipped. It is close to all the fun things to do in the area yet tucked away in a quiet area with a fun pond on the property! My kids had a great time on the kayak on the pond! Coming from Florida it was nice being able to play in a pond with no alligators! Definitely would recommend this home!

Great cabin. Highly recommend
We stayed at the Harper Cabin for a long weekend. This was a great house. It was clean, with detailed instructions and recommendations about the house and surrounding area. The location is perfect. Close enough to everything you want to see on MDI but far enough away from the crowds. The house is very private, with a nice pond and stream. The deck is very large and equipped with chairs, picnic table and a nice grill. The kitchen was very nicely stocked with cooking utensils and even had a number of spices available. It provided pretty much everything you would need to cook a good meal. I appreciated the bookshelf containing a number of books about the area and the kids were able to occupy themselves with a few of the board games available. Overall, we really enjoyed our time and found the house to be spacious, clean and equipped with just about everything you need. The host is very attentive as well, and you can tell she takes pride in the place. I would highly recommend.

Nice Cabin
Beautiful property, expansive deck and plenty of space indoors to spread out. All the beds were quite comfortable. The kitchen, while small, had everything we needed to cook. It was a good base for us to get to Acadia. Bar Harbor was 15 min away so we could easily get to town and then have the quiet oasis back at the cabin.

Cozy Cabin!
This pond side cabin was perfect for our needs! It was less than 5 miles to Acadia National Park and it was quiet! The cabin was well stocked with everything we may have needed. The weather wasn’t the best so we were not able to take advantage of the large deck. I highly recommend Harper’s Cabin

Relaxing Space, Convenient to MDI locations
The log cabin was equipped with everything you'd need and was a quiet oasis in the woods with a pond view. Only a short drive into Bar Harbor for evening activities and within 20-30 mins of every highlight of MDI you could imagine. The pack n play and booster seat worked great for our 1.5 year old. Fans were provided and used to cool off the house at night, which worked great. Would recommend staying here to anyone!

July - wonderful "cabin" near Southwest Harbor & Bar Harbor
Excellent! The property was just as listed! Clean, very roomy, very well furnished and well equipped with everything you might want to cook with and more. ..only missing the beavers :( We were 5 adults: my husband and I , and adult sons and daughter-in law. Close to everything, but private place to retreat to. When I emailed the owner with a question, she called me within 5 minutes! I would recommend rental from this house and this host without any reservations. Thank you for a wonderful week. PS- if you are looking for a fantastic day out - go to Schoodic Peninsula for the day, but BRING FOOD! Stop at the Rangers table at entrance to the Schoodic campground!!

Comfy house, well designed & furnished, great location and quiet too. Everything worked! Perfect base for our week of hiking & biking, exploring Acadia, eating well and hanging out. Could not have asked for better. Alice Harper gave us clear information & guidelines, very responsive to questions before we arrived and during our stay. So happy we chose this house from the ones listed on VRBO. Thanks!

Absolutely Wonderful
We had an amazing 5 night stay at the Harper's lovely cabin. When we arrived, the cabin was immaculately clean. It is clear the Harper's very much care for their cabin, and everything was in excellent condition. My boys, 5 and 7, loved everything about the cabin, especially kayaking on the property's private pond. We felt at peace at the cabin (which can be hard with two active, boisterous boys) and we wish we could have stayed forever. The house is surrounded by lovely trees and if you walk out to the pond at night, your view of thousands of stars is unobstructed. In addition to every kitchen gadget/tool you may need, the cabin had multiple Acadia guidebooks, magazines and maps. There is so much to do in Acadia. The signed guest book includes many suggestions from past travelers, but for those with young children, the boys' favorite trails were the Cadillac Cliffs trail (Gorham Mountain) and hiking up the Bubbles. I can't recommend the Harper's cabin enough. When we make our way back to Acadia to tackle the Beehive trail, we will absolutely make sure we stay at this cabin.
