About this property
Ocean View Cedar Chalet/ 10 min to Acadia
Cedar Chalet is a spacious 3‑bedroom, 3‑bath home set on a private, wooded lot overlooking the beautiful waters of Frenchman’s Bay. Nearly every room captures the view through large windows, and the expansive deck offers a peaceful place to start your morning with coffee as eagles soar overhead or to unwind at sunset with a beverage.
A private boardwalk shared only with our log cabin leads you to the shoreline about 500 feet downhill. From this beach, guests may see seals feeding in the bay or sunning on an exposed rock in the bay. Kayaks can be launched as well (can be rented / delivered from local companies).
Inside, the home features an open‑concept layout with the kitchen, dining area, and living room flowing together—ideal for families and friends who want to spend time in one shared space. A major 2021 renovation added a new kitchen, living area, bathrooms, bedroom, and deck, giving the home a fresh, modern feel while maintaining its coastal charm.
The chalet offers three comfortable bedrooms. The second‑floor master suite enjoys a stunning panoramic view of the water. On the main floor, the bedroom can be arranged as two XL twins or converted into a king, making it a great option for guests with mobility considerations or for children. Other than three steps from the driveway to the porch, all common areas are located on this level.
The lower level also features beautiful water views through large windows in every room. Here you’ll find a second master bedroom with a king size bed and a second living room with a premium queen plus sleeper sofa for additional sleeping space.
We have blackout blinds available in every bedroom for those 5 am summer sunrises in Maine.
Whether you’re gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, Cedar Chalet offers comfort, privacy, and unforgettable views.
7 day minimum from 5/28-10/26 (Saturday - Saturday) except 6/27-7/5 (8 nights) and 7/5-7/11 (6 nights).
We have an outdoor security camera located near the driveway.
Rental license VR2R26-019
We own the log cabin (the sole other house on the road). It is a great opportunity for two larger families to be close by and enjoy a very peaceful, nature rich vacation- Bar Harbor Log Cabin #2588174.

Amazing stay! Wonderfully large chalet with plenty of room for everyone. Views are spectacular- you really feel like you're in the forest with gorgeous bay views. Sunset is phenomenal! The place was super clean and we had a great time.
The Ocean View Cedar Chalet was great. The kitchen was well stocked. The deck and the views really make the place awesome. The property was clean and well cared for. Cleanliness was a big deal in feeling comfortable The property is a short drive to many of the trails on Mount Desert Island. It’s an even shorter drive to Bar Harbor .We really had a great time at Acadia and the wonderful Cedar Chalet was part of that. Big Thank you to Jamie
The house has a beautiful view with gorgeous sunsets. Kitchen is well equipped with all you could need to prepare meals. Location provides for easy access to the NP and towns of Mt Desert Island.
This was our second year staying at the Cedar Chalet and it's the perfect spot for a family getaway. Very cozy, clean and family friendly- quiet and tranquil!We'll be back!
Jamie was very responsive and great with suggestions for winter options. The house is beautiful inside, and the views are amazing! We made several meals there and had everything we could ever need. It was close to all the trails and towns and set in a peaceful and serene location. We loved our time here hope to be able to visit again!
The Cedar Chalet and its location were as beautiful as pictured! We have visited Acadia many times and this was a great place to stay while exploring the area. The home and the hosting were excellent!
We have no complaints about our stay. The scenery, the food and hospitality were all 5 star. Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful state of Maine.
The house was perfect!It was clean, peaceful, in the woods (nature sounds all around) with a beautiful view of the water. And set up perfectly for a relaxing out of the way stay, yet close to Acadia National Park and the surrounding harbors so we didn't spend endless time traveling from place to place.The layout of the house works so well for a couple, up to 3 couples or a family. It was just the two of us and the space was easy to settle into. Plenty of space to move around in, to be together and to store your belongings. I love the loft bedroom with the walk-in closet and the built-in book shelf. There were books, games and puzzles. Also, Barbies, cars & tracks and other toys to entertain the kids. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed and the island provided enough space to prepare food.We walked down below to the beach as well and enjoyed exploring. Jamie was great at communicating and he covered everything that we needed to know in email. The information on site was complete as well.We would book this home again for a visit to the area and will recommend it to others.Thank you Jamie!
This chalet was perfect for our stay on Mt Desert. Spectacular views. Lots of room to spread out. Away from the crowds, but still a quick drive into Bar Harbor. Everything was clean and well maintained. The owner was very communicative and gave clear instructions. Would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay! Everything needed was there. Viewing the beautiful sunsets from that great porch was very relaxing. We appreciated being able to use the grill. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. We have stayed at this lovely chalet several times and will be back again!
Very clean and comfortable home with an amazing view. - we saw both deer and an eagle. The house had all the amenities needed for our stay at Acadia. We would definitely chose the Chalet again if we ever return to Bar Harbour.
We had a wonderful weeklong stay, and explored all of Acadia! Beautiful home, easy to communicate with the owners. Had everything we needed, and would definitely stay again!
Property was exactly as described. It was great to retire to excellent lodging after hiking everyday. Beautiful views off the deck. Would definitely stay here again. Owner was very responsive to all communications.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Ocean View Cedar Chalet. The kitchen was stocked well, and house was comfortable for our family of seven. Close proximity to Acadia and town of Bar Harbor allowed us to explore. Jamie was helpful with suggestions before our arrival. Would recommend!
We had a great time at Cedar Chalet. The property had everything we needed and was very well-maintained. Hoping to visit again the next time we are in Acadia National Park.
The house is 10 minutes from town and the airport. Great views from the floor to ceiling windows. 10Minutes to Acadia park so you can go to Cadillac mountain to see the stars. We had a great time.

About the host
Hosted by Jamie Douglas
We are a fun, family of four, that loves to hike and be outside. We love Acadia National Park ! There is no better place to unplug and get away from it all. Often my parents and brother/ sister in law accompany us. Some of our favorite things to do are to sit on the porch and have coffee in the morning, enjoy the sunset after a long day of hiking, and have seafood fests including plenty of lobster and mussels at the big outdoor dining table.
Why they chose this property
This house is the perfect mix of being in a very wooded, private spot while also having big oceans views and water access.
We personally use this house as a spot to reconnect and relax so it has been freshly renovated with families and friends in mind. Games, books, and inside information on all the best things to do in Acadia and Bar Harbor are available.
The area is extremely quiet and a great place to enjoy the people you love.
What makes this property unique
A lot of the houses on the island are close to busy roads and have a lot of car noise. We bought this house specifically because it was so quiet. A sound you don't often hear now days.
