Poet's Cabin - Year-round Acadia A-Frame Getaway

If you're looking for a beautiful cabin in the woods of Acadia on the Quietside of Mount Desert Island, you've found it! A perfect spot for couple's getaways, solo travelers, families of 3 & friends. Cute, cozy & charming, Poet's Cabin is Hygge-inspired & newly renovated w/ Brentwood queen bed, sleep sofa, stainless oven, dishwasher & microwave. Serene porch to relax on. Private yet convenient setting - close to the ocean, downtown Southwest Harbor, Seawall Beach, Bass Harbor Light & Echo Lake.

Poet's Cabin is a one bedroom, one bath classic "A-Frame" cabin. The interior decor features beautiful pine wood walls and Acadia-inspired art throughout the house. The loft bedroom (full standing height) features a brand new queen-sized Brentwood bed and storage, and the living room features a new velvet sleep sofa for multiple sleeping options. The living room also features a live-edge walnut wood breakfast bar with two comfortable seats with a view of the woods, as well as a new Roku TV with excellent, 500 mbps fiber optic wifi internet throughout the house. The cabin has a full kitchen with a full sized refrigerator with freezer, and brand new stainless steel appliances including electric stove/oven, dishwasher, and microwave. There is also a warm and powerful Rinnai heater for making it cozy. The cabin also has a 3/4 bathroom, including stall shower, sink, and brand new toilet. Finally, the cabin has a large front deck with a cedar gliding loveseat, built-in table with seating, and easy parking for two cars.

Additional Amenities - May through Oct only:

- 2 hybrid road bikes w/ helmets & lock.
- A cast-iron firepit w/ ample firewood provided.

As guests, you will have the whole house to yourselves. Southwest Harbor is one of the most beautiful towns in Maine and is located right in the heart of Acadia National Park. Watch beautiful sunrises or sunsets over the ocean, hike world-class trails, visit a sand beach, kayak on a tree-lined lake, eat at a classic Maine lobster shack - there are so many amazing adventures on Mount Desert Island!

The house is easy access to the following and more: just over one mile from downtown Southwest Harbor, less than one mile from Cable Crossing Road, less than two miles to Seawall Picnic Area and Beach, three miles to the oceanfront, family friendly hikes of Wonderland and Ship Harbor, and approximately four miles to Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Additionally, the house is a 20 minute drive through the heart of Acadia National Park to downtown Bar Harbor.

AARP states that Poet's Cabin is one of the top eight affordable vacation rentals by a national park in the country! (VRBO doesnt allow us to hyperlink, search AARP "8 Affordable Vacation Rentals by National Parks".)

Please note, the stairs going up/down to the loft bedroom are very steep and should be used with caution. Also, there is a new Ring camera (just installed) on right side corner of the porch outside. It only faces externally and is on a passive setting so we can check weather conditions and snow plowing.

Great spot!
We spent three days and loved that we were far enough away for peace and quiet but close enough to be anywhere in Acadia in 30 minutes. Cabin was fun, clean and everything we needed.

We live a dual lifestyle in both the amazing Acadia National Park of Maine and the wonderful Mad River Valley of Vermont. We love nature and the outdoors. We work on various environmental initiatives, enjoy New England's incredible craft beer scene, and spend our time skiing, cooking, gardening, and traveling. We love the Vermont and Maine ways of life and are excited to share them with others!
