Incredible Getaway
We had the most lovely stay at the cabin, tucked away in the woods and right on the water—it was incredible! The photos did not do it justice. We loved the kayaks, row boats, and canoe boat and we had such a wonderful time. We can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was cozy and the setting was beautiful. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and just a 15 min drive to an active downtown (Bar Harbor).

Beautiful Location
This cozy cabin was perfect for a week of hiking, biking in Acadia and enjoying the Bar Harbor area. Very efficient space with a beautiful view to enjoy every morning. We were very happy with the accommodations and will hopefully return someday.

Private cozy cabin just close enough to all of MDI
Quiet cabin on a pristine pond bordered by Acadia National Park. We enjoyed the kayaks for a paddle with a loon, the misty mornings, and the easy drive to Southeast and Bar Harbors.

Peaceful Park Visit
We enjoyed this cozy stay for two - it was a perfect size for us, had all we needed (except a washer and dryer - but no room for it). The bathroom is beautifully done with a 5 fee5 filed shower and fluffy towels. Bed in this studio was comfortable with ample blankets. The host supplied a notebook with helpful information about the area and visiting Acadia National Park which is 4 miles away. We did not get directions from VRBO but the host was kind enough to provide them when asked. Our stay was too short to use the row boat or canoe but if we return, we’ll plan to try them out on the pond. We recommend this stand alone studio-house to others.

First Time Maine Vacation
This is a wonderful rental! Very clean and in a beautiful location out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Close to hiking trails and shopping. We had a wonderful time but ended up leaving a day early due to the Hurricane Lee. Would recommend this rental if you like a private and secluded area.

Cozy small studio in the woods perfect for a weekend away
My wife and I had a nice stay in this cozy studio in the woods. It's on a quiet pond on the west side of the island approximately half an hour from Bar harbor. It had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

This place was such a wonderful place to unplug. Loved watching the pond change over the course of each day. So glad to have had access to watercraft, bbq, and a comfortable space to feel safe and able to relax.

Perfect getaway
We had an amazing time on Mount Desert Island!! We loved staying in this little cabin as well. Tucked away and hidden, we felt so cozy and at home. It is so peaceful on the lake and we saw plenty of birds and animals. the bed was amazing and we slept like rocks. There were so many hikes and places to eat that were just a short drive away. We will be back!!

Perfect for an Acadia get away!
The boathouse was perfect for me and my friend! It is a cute little cabin in the woods. It has a beautiful bathroom and a kitchen too. I loved that the cabin looked out on the water and we also loved being able to use the kayaks! Check in process was easy (just beware there is another property with the same address in Acadia area so be sure you go through the VRBO app for directions). It was an easy drive to all the places we wanted to check out and easy enough to go to and from Bar Harbor. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice Getaway
The boathouse was very clean. It is located on a secluded piece of property overlooking " a pond ". It is much bigger than a pond in my opinion. I was very pleased with the location. We hiked in Acadia National Park located 20 minutes away. The boathouse is not very big, but it was perfect for me and my husband and my two little tzu shih's.
