My wife, 5 year old son and I traveled from Pittsburgh, and after a long road trip needed a place to call hike for a few days while we explored Maine. This place was the perfect mix of quiet, but also close enough to Bar Harbor to feel like you've got things to do.

Stayed at the Ranger Cabin mid September and it was perfect for our Acadia National Park trip! It was about a 25 minute drive into bar harbor. The cabin was clean and Kevin was a great host and provided great information about check in and check out! Would 100% consider staying here again if I find myself in the area.

First time in Maine

Alvah's Park Ranger Cabin was perfect for our family of three. It was a short drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and everything we wanted to do in the area. The property was extremely clean and communication with the owners was easy and timely. Thank you for a wonderful first experience in Maine!

Stay review

My partner and I stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Kevin was attentive and responsive but in no way intrusive to our stay. Would stay here again. Cabin is about 20-30 mins away from Acadia/Bar Harbor but an easy drive and the cabin is located away from hustle and bustle. Ellsworth is close by for grocery or other needs.

We loves this place it was in a fantastic location. The only negative it when I can charges 90 for some bedding that they said “stains didn’t come out”. I asked for pictures because we didn’t use spray tan or have anything near our bedding that would stain the sheets. I got no pictures and still know we didn’t do anything to the bedding.

Magical Cabin

My dad and I deliberated for several weeks about which cabin to stay in in the general Acadia/Bar Harbor region. Fortunately, we made the right choice. This cabin was so incredibly cozy, well-built, and plenty close to Acadia national park (about 25 mins). Everything that my dad and I wondered if the cabin would have was there -- coffee, towels, heat/AC, particular utensils, cutting boards -- the list goes on. We would absolutely stay there again. The host was responsive and gave us wonderful reccomendations for food, hiking, and late night drinks. Thanks so much, Kevin, for building this beautiful Maine retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Bennett

Host profile image
Hi,
I love Maine and want to share it with those that love the outdoors and all the beauty that surrounds us here. I was raised on Mount Desert Island and lived on the island till I was 26. I have traveled extensively but always return home to Maine for its beauty and lifestyle. Come explore for yourself and see, it's the way life should be.

Why they chose this property

Alvah's Coastal Cabin sits on a partially wooded lot in a residential setting.
It shares it's location with a sister RV spot, available to support any sized RV. See photos for more on this. We are close to the action without getting caught up in the pace of it. Acadia NP brings a high volume of visitor and cars. Our cabin sits on a side road leading to Acadia. Local traffic can be seen and heard from the cabin. Traffic at night is almost non existent. We live close by and love the feel of this small town of Lamoine.

What makes this property unique

Alvah's Park Ranger Cabin was built by myself with a few days of assistance from friends. The goal was to provide a cabin experience close to Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island. The scent of wood, cozy feel and comfort level are all part of the experience. Our proximity to both parts of Acadia (Schoodic and Mt. Desert Island) make it an ideal location to start your adventure on the coast of Maine.
