I highly recommend staying at the Merchant’s Cabin! The cabin is phenomenal and has everything you could need. The decor is absolutely perfect! I definitely recommend spending a night having a campfire. The wood provided in the shed is perfect for smokeless fires. My dog absolutely loved the backyard and the opportunity to walk out to the water. This location made it so easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia without the traffic. I would absolutely stay here again and plan to do so!

The kayaks that came with the cabin were a lot of fun. It was really nice to enjoy the beauty of Maine at the parks and right in front of the Cabin with direct water access. The air conditioner in the main room kept the whole space cool on warm days. The street traffic was very loud though while on the deck. Overall we had a great stay, only feedback is that the mattress is annoyingly loud and needs to be replaced.

Thank you for the review and feedback. It may be time to replace the mattress:)
Fantastic cabin for family of 5 and our dog. Cassie the host was easy to communicate with and gave us some local spots to visit. Grocery store is 15 minutes away. We cooked every night in the cabin. The pair of hummingbirds visiting the feeder was an extra bonus. Me and my son fished at high tide. Beautiful sunrises. House was clean and very comfortable. Would love to return. We had no complaints. My younger kids learned to kayak. We made so many memories. Traveled from Buffalo NY

Hi there! Thank you for the wonderful review! We hope you get to vacation with us again!
Place was comfy and clean and a great way to relax. Great place to spend some family time and very dog friendly. Mosquitoes were killer and the road was loud. Kayaking was fun.
Very comfortable and clean cabin conveniently located 30 mins from Acadia National Park. Host responded very quickly to a question we had. Easy check in and check out.
Our stay at Merchant’s Cabin in Hancock was fantastic. The cabin is perfect for a relaxing family vacation. The accommodations are excellent and the property owner, Cassie is great to work with. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay close to Acadia.
This gem is tucked away from the crowds, but close enough to see all of Acadia that you could want. Quiet, restful, clean. Thank you for sharing this little slice of Maine waterfront paradise!

Everything about the cabin was great! They had kayaks & a canoe available for use. Great deck, cornhole, comfortable beds, great shower! Perfect spot for our families to stay in while we explore the area, including Bar Harbor & Acadia. Excellent tips on directions, restaurant suggestions, etc. Highly recommend, would definitely return.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was clean, well taken care of, quiet and relaxing. The decor was adorable. Would highly recommend this cabin for anyone.. We will be back!!
Our trip was wonderful and we really enjoyed this cabin! The host was super communicative and the space was everything we needed. It was close enough to Acadia and very close to several restaurants. It also had a huge yard and beautiful water view, with access to a fire pit and many other amenities. Would definitely stay there again!
We had a great time at the cabin. Beautiful location, nice kitchen, even a really good place for dogs. We had everything to be comfortable. At nights the sky was breathtaking. The only problem was the mattresses. They kept creaking. Backyard was amazing! We had a such a relaxing time.
Such a beautiful cabin with an incredible view! Very clean! Great communication from property owner. Perfect rental for 4-6 people. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay, it was close enough to town but also a private getaway. We look forward to the next time! Thank you!!
The house was very nice and cozy! We appreciated the cleanliness and care put into the place. Our only concern was a neighborhood dog that wandered outside every once in a while, so be aware of that being a possibility if your dog is dog-aggressive or reactive. Otherwise completely perfect for us!
Beautiful log cabin, loved the antique decor. Everything we needed, great view, comfy beds. For dog walking, go directly across the highway, up the hill less than a quarter mile. There is a little inlet on the left with a park sign. Great walk in the woods, so glad we found that. Wish we could have stayed longer!
The Merchant’s Cabin was a perfect home for our family of four and dog while we vacationed for the week. The location was great as it allowed us to hop over to Tidal Falls and Schoodic one day and Bar Harbor the next. We grilled with the charcoal and gas grill and used the provided pots for a lobster boil. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out each day. If we’re ever back in Maine, we would definitely stay here again!
It was a perfect spot for my wife and I. The view overlooking the spacious backyard and the water was quite beautiful from the deck. Very well furnished, all we had to do was supply the groceries and relax. The cabin felt quite secluded even though we were minutes away from many attractions and restaurants. Very satisfied!!!
