Cute cabin in the woods

This is a secluded cabin in the woods with access to the water across the street. You can see the cruise ships visiting Bar Harbor anchored from the beach access. It is approximately 40-45 minute drive into Bar Harbor so we did a lot of driving back and forth. We also visited Bangor and a couple of wineries.

Vacation in Maine

We stayed a week within a 5 minute walk of family and friends. The cabin, nestled in the woods, gives us true privacy, and the glass & screened in porch is wonderful place to read, entertain, and enjoy all the sounds of nature. Plenty of room and privacy for the five of us and an excellent layout for bedrooms, living & dining room, and kitchen. We stayed here before and the hosts are wonderful.

Perfect cottage and location

We stayed here for a week and very much enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage. It has everything for a comfortable and accommodating stay… comfy beds, plenty of kitchen utensils etc, a sunroom full of natural light, games, and more. We loved walking down to the private beach and the kids had an absolute blast at the beach. The location is in striking distance to places like Mount Desert Island and Schoodic Peninsula. We also enjoyed the nearby Tidal Falls. We took multiple walks right from the cabin too and enjoyed the lovely views and peace and quiet away from the crowds. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Jane’s cabin.

About the host

Why they chose this property

My grandfather had this cottage built and it is the cottage we have returned to for almost every summer since I was born.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is very peaceful and private, and yet it's well connected to the rest of Hancock Point with its library, tennis courts and wharf as well as the Crocker House Inn. There are woods for children to play in and space in the yard for croquet games. The cottage also has its own access to the shore, with a two-seater Adirondack chair just above the beach (with great views of the mountains of Acadia National Park) and then wooden stairs down to the beach. On the beach to the left, our family's main beach, there's a big rock that becomes an island or a ship when the tide is in, and there's also a reef full of tide pools with crabs, snails and starfish in them, so it's great fun for children. There is a sandy area great for sand building sand castles and cities. We love it.
