Cabin Getway

Perfect site for our vacatio in Maine. My wife and i love Maine as our vacation spot, forests, mountains and lobsers what more could you ask for. We felt this cabin one of best spots we stayed in Maine in all of our times here. One small hurricane named Lee made first day wet, everything else was great

First time to Acadia

As a first timer to Acadia, Spruce Cottage was a great place to stay. After busy days of hiking, shopping, eating delicious seafood, the cottage was warm and homey. Having a full kitchen was ideal. Having so much space made for a comfortable stay. Andy was responsive and provided all of the information we needed, plus tips on restaurants and things to do. We loved Southwest Harbor, so nice to get away from it all at the end of the day.

Quiet Acadia Cabin

The home was on a quiet street near SW Harbor with an easy drive to all points Acadia. It was everything we needed with a fantastic location.

Relaxing vacation with my family

My husband, mother-in-law, and 1 year old son stayed at Spruce Cottage in late May. We were blown away by the amenities (well-stocked, clean, comfortable beds, and even complete with a booster seat, toys, and pack and play if we had desired for our son), location (easy access to wonderful Acadia walks, downtown Southwest Harbor, and even better - steps from a calm morning walk by the boatyards), and hospitality (Andy was communicative, easy to reach, and friendly). We would come back in a heartbeat. We would highly recommend to our friends and family!!!

Amazing cabin

I can’t tell you enough how wonderful this cabin was beautiful quiet peaceful picturesque. Andy and Jennie have thought of absolutely everything to make this a wonderful home away from home. Cozy and tranquil with a duck pond and deer visiting in the morning and a quick walk to beautiful views. That we could bring our dogs was an added bonus I am recommending this to all I know before I even left.

About the host

Hosted by Andy Cline

We have been summer residents of this area since the 1960's and 70's and retired here year round in 2010.

Why they chose this property

This cottage was originally built in the 1950's as an extension to the main house, which sits nearby, providing much needed extra bedrooms. In 1998 we renovated and added onto the cottage, turning a small bedroom into a laundry and pantry area and creating a hallway which leads to the generous family living addition with kitchen/dining/living area. The house now has a deck overlooking the backyard duck pond and its own private driveway and entrance off Shore Road.

What makes this property unique

This cozy cottage is located on the quiet, but very scenic Shore Road. Walk out the driveway and turn left for a spectacular 2 mile walk 'around the block.' The walk will take you through 2 working boatyards, past the town dock and ferries to the outer islands, bus stops for the free seasonal island bus service, and two boat rental businesses, all while enjoying spectacular views of the Great Harbor of Mount Desert, Somes Sound, and the mountains of Acadia.
