Lovely Maine Cabin

Very clean and rustic cabin. It’s a little close to a main road through the area so you don’t get the true cabin camping ambiance, but it’s close enough to a grocery store and other points of interest that you hardly notice. Perfect place to set up a “home base” to explore and enjoy MDI. The property owners obviously take great care and pride in their cabin and it showed in the upkeep and helpful instructions. Would definitely stay again.

Loved this place!

There were four of us and plenty of room for us to spread out. Everything was clean and very welcoming. The owners daughter was very quick to respond and even printed & delivered something for us needed for the park. Absolutely would recommend this place for everyone including larger families, lots of beds & space.

Not suited for colder weather

The cabin was never listed as rustic. It was cold when we got there. There was a very small wood stove without proper ventilation. I told the manager, Helen, that we wouldn't be using that. She said it was heated with space heaters. There was a small one in the bathroom and a ceramic one for the bedroom. The living room had an oil heater. The one for the second bedroom was broken. The ceramic ones were clogged with dust. When we woke in the morning it was freezing. Couldn't have been 50. Husband even made a fire with kindling but it wouldn't get enough ventilation to keep going. We told Helen we wanted to just leave. She said she'd get us more heaters and she did leave two brand new oil heaters. This helped but it was cold every morning. It should have been listed as wood heat and space heaters. In our bedroom the extension cord was taped to the floor with two pieces of duct tape. One of the lights in the track lights was out. We couldn't open the front door as it was stuck on the bottom.

The perfect place to come "home" to

The cabin has a great layout for 2 couples + kids. It has everything you need and was very clean. I can't comment on the A/C or heat as the weather was moderate for us. You are only about 20 mins from Bar Harbor or the entrance to the Acadia Loop Road. The Seal Cove Auto Mus. and Bass Harbor Light are nearby and well worth it. It's a classic camp with lots of charm.

About the host

Hosted by Helen Smallidge

My husband and I grew up in Pretty Marsh and then lived away for most of our adult life. We always came back to visit our families and to spend our summers here in Pretty Marsh. My father build this cabin for my husband Niffie and me and our three daughters. We have shared many fun nights, parties and memories here and now hope that others can make their own memories. It was so nice to come back and slow down. From swimming in the ponds and lakes, boating, hiking and picking blueberries and having my mother bake her famous blueberry pie. We love the location of Pretty Marsh and being closer to the quiet side of the Island but still just a short drive to the other towns. Hope you will enjoy staying here as much as we did for so many years. Helen
