Fantastic cabin in the woods super quiet! Very close to trails to watch the sunrise. Close to good supermarkets and excellent little towns for eating out as well. The host was very kind even going out of the way to supply us with a few extra touches! Thanks kindly Bobbi. Will definitely let others know of this gem!

Great cabin in a perfect location. The cabin had everything we needed. We started going to MDI to camp many years ago but started renting a house the last few years with our kids. This was the best place we’ve rented and plan to go back. We like the quiet side of the island and had a great week hiking/swimming/fishing/canoeing and relaxing at the house. Firepit is a huge plus.

I’m so glad you and your family had such an enjoyable time at Fox Den. It’s a benefit for sure being centrally located as it allows our guests to enjoy all the island has to offer. Thank you for your kind words about the cabin. We take pride in having all the amenities we would want when we visit a place. A fire pit is one of them!! Nothing says Maine more than s’mores around the campfire!! Thanks and we hope to see you and your family again!

Great central location between Long Pond, Beech Mountain, and just a short drive to Echo Lake Beach, making it easy to get anywhere on the island.The cabin is super cute, and you can tell the owners really love and care for the place. The landscaping is phenomenal, and the fire pit, spacious deck, and clean grill were all great touches.Inside, everything was spotless, looked brand new, and had everything we needed to cook meals or order in.Would definitely recommend.

Perfect little cabin in the heart of Mount Desert. Central to everything and an easy drive to all the sites on the Island. The host responded to all our questions in a timely manner. Directions for our stay and check out spelled out clearly. The house was fantastic, cute and cozy. They thought of everything we could need right down to throw blankets on the couch. I really loved morning coffee on the deck and fires in the evening. We feel very lucky to have found this little oasis in Maine.

This amazing cabin is all you see in pictures but much more. It is quiet and peaceful sounded by Maine beauty. Our host was always available for questions and very helpful. The neighbors are great too. You will not request booking this home. The inside is spacious and full of everything you will need on your stay. Appliances are new and everything from towels to more sheets,beach towels areavailable. You are close enough to Bar Harbor but far enough you won't see or hear crowds. We had a fire but watched closely. So happy we decided to pick this home because it was a relaxing week and thankful for that.

Very clean and new cabin. Wonderful deck area with gorgeous landscaping. Well equipped kitchen. Great location. Overall a wonderful experience. The bathroom shower stall is quite small. That is the only small concern. The living area downstairs is very spacious and nice. Thank you so much for a fun vacation.

Thank you for your feedback on our cozy cabin. We are sure to check inventory of items in the cottage and supply new linens each season. Happy you enjoyed this! Because we couldn’t change the engineering plans once the cabin was under construction, we committed to the standard 3’x3’ stall shower. An outdoor shower is being conceived for the near future - this will have a much larger ceiling!! 😀 Hope to see you in your travels in the future!

Thank you! We love offering our brand new cabin in such a central location for this reason. It offers the best of both worlds - close to southwest harbor, and bar harbor and northeast harbor are also a hop, skip, and a jump away! Glad you enjoyed yourselves as much as you did!

This is the cutest, coziest cabin ever! My husband and I stayed 8 days and 7 nights on MDI. The cabin is perfectly located to go anywhere on the island in 20 minutes or less. Bobbie gave some phenomenal dining recommendations that truly made our trip unforgettable. I bugged her with a million questions and she always responded extremely quickly. We had one minor issue while staying at the house and she responded immediately to take care of it. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and we were able to make breakfast each morning before hitting the trails or whatever adventure we had planned for the day. We also made use of the fire pit to make s’mores one evening. It was perfection! If we are ever in the area again, this will be our home away from home. Thank you Bobbie for your hospitality! You made our 27th wedding anniversary trip extra special.

Thank you for your kind words, Tom. I enjoyed meeting you and your wife, and can't thank you enough for being the best FIRST occupants of the cabin we could ask for. Your care and appreciation of the space as your home away from home was much appreciated. We carefully thought through what we would need if we were tenants there ourselves, and I'm happy to know we covered all bases to make your stay enjoyable. See you next time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fox Den. The cabin is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and nicely decorated. After long days of hiking and exploring Acadia it was nice to be able to relax on the deck and watch the deer and turkeys in the backyard. The neighborhood was quiet and I enjoyed a few walks down to the water or up the road to Beech Hill Farm. We had the pleasure of meeting Bobbie and found her to be a friendly host willing to provide whatever we might need to make our stay enjoyable. We look forward to returning to Fox Den in the future.

The cabin was exactly as described. It was exceptionally clean and wonderful. Everything we needed was in the kitchen, the bed was comfy, and the decor was lovely and appropriate. The outside space was great and perfect morning coffee, afternoon downtime, or and meals and conversation in the evening. The location was ideal for us. We spent most of our time on the quiet side or in the park itself. Still, the benefits of the cabin far outweigh the commute to Bar Harbor. We plan to return!!

Thank you for your feedback! We pride ourselves on having created a cozy cabin in the woods with all the necessary amenities, comfy new furniture, beds and linens, and a large outdoor deck for morning sunrise and afternoon sunset (and grilling), fire for s’mores and more! So glad you enjoyed all the cabin and island has to offer, and I hope to host you again in the future!!

This cabin was absolutely amazing! It was so cozy, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed and was in a very convenient location for visiting all parts of Acadia National Park. It was also a pretty short drive from Bar Harbor, as well. Everything was so clean when we arrived and it just felt like home. My husband and I and our two girls (ages 8 and 11) stayed for 1 week. Our kids had the whole downstairs to themselves with their own bedroom, bathroom, living room and tv. They loved playing the games that are kept there at the cabin. The outside of the cabin is just as fabulous. It is surrounded by beautiful landscaping, lots of trees and some deer here and there. There was a place for us to have camp fires, a beautiful deck to relax on and a grill. The owner of this property is wonderful, as well. Very responsive to messages and stopped by to meet us. I have no complaints whatsoever about this gem. If we lived closer (we live in Illinois) we would be coming here all the time. HIGHLY recommend!

Amazing Maine Cabin

The pictures don't do justice for this wonderful cabin. From the minute you walk in, you're impressed with how clean and well-organized everything is. The cabin is bigger than it looks in the pictures. It's new and you almost feel like it's your second home. After a long day of hiking in Acadia National Park, we were always excited to get back to the cabin. It's close to Southwest Harbor & hiking trails. Bar Harbor is about 25 minutes away.Unfortunately, the weather prevented us from using some of the outside amenities (deck, grill, etc.). If you visit at other times of the year, guests will love the cabin.If you're looking for a great little cabin in Maine, this place is perfect for you!

Perfect!

We have rented many properties for vacations over the years. Fox Den cabin was by far the cleanest and best stocked cabin we could have ever asked for! We had everything we could have possibly needed and everything was in excellent condition. The beds and couches were so comfortable. Outside was a dream and expertly landscaped. It was so nice to sit out on the beautiful wood deck and watch the deer and turkeys in the backyard area. It was so peaceful and serene. Huge shoutout to Bobbi for being such an amazing host from the very beginning. I have some medical issues that require me to travel with medical supplies. Bobbi was so kind and helpful with the shipment and delivery of these supplies to the cabin. She made it so easy for us with excellent communication before and during our trip. She even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our trip! I would 100% stay here again and will recommend to friends and family for future rentals.

Bobbie’s place was my favorite VRBO yet and I’ve probably rented 30 homes across the US and Europe. Clean as a whistle, so quiet except for morning doves, and quick easy responses from the owner for all my questions. The house was stocked with everything we needed from extra blankets down to a carrot peeler. I highly recommend.
