We had a wonderful time staying here! The Cabin exceeded all of our expectations and we highly recommend staying there. Thanks to Rob and his family for letting us stay there!
This was a perfect cabin to getaway and relax. It was close to Bar Harbor and all the fun activities but also far enough away to enjoy the wilderness. The owners were close by if we needed anything as well.
Clean, comfortable, well-kept cabin perfectly located for Acadia adventures. Close to restaurants, and many cultural activities. Pier for ocean cruses a very short drive. Great hosts. Cabin was stocked with everything we needs for a week long stay. Access to hiking and biking trails right off the back of the property. We'll be back.
The cabin has all the basics for a nice stay. I liked being on the quiet side of the island and having some trails right outside the door. The owners respond very quickly to any questions.
Fantastic central location in the Southwest Harbor. Pleasantly surprised there is a direct walking path just outside the cabin to Acadia National Park trails. No complaints whatsoever. Very clean, new plushy towels, comfortable bed. Contacted the host one time to request paper products and a pan for cooking, and they delivered in less than one hour! Will definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family looking for a spot in Acadia!
Great location, comfy, beautiful property, can get on trails in Acadia National Park right out back! Had everything we needed & just the right size for a couple.
This property was perfect for a week stay! Rob & Marj were the perfect hosts! Their cabin is quiet and a good place to relax after a long day of hiking and visiting Bar Harbor. Thank you so much for the hospitality!
