My husband and I loved the location . It was quiet and peaceful. Would have liked to have access to the pond . Fairly close to all the attractions on the Island. All amenities worked well. Would most likely visit again in the future.

Perfect for what we were looking for. Quiet and peaceful setting with and nice view. Priced right. About 20-30 min away from the "big attractions" of Acadia and also plenty of hiking and little parks on the water closer to the cabin.

This was a great place to stay on the quiet side of the island. Had a great view of the water, but no direct access to water was a bummer. The house was generally clean but lacked details I'd expect for a 5 star review.

This was an amazing cabin with beautiful views. It was very peaceful and quiet. My husband and stayed here quite a few days and loved it and really didn't want to go back home. The cabin had everything you could need and was very comfortable to stay in. Alex was great host, very polite and friendly. He was there if we had any questions and was very helpful, but made certain to give us our privacy. I would love to stay here again.

Peaceful retreat in Seal Cove

We enjoyed our week at this well appointed cabin with a beautiful lake view from the comfortable deck. The kitchen and living space made preparing meals and relaxing a pleasure. Convenient to Acadia National Park and other parts of Mt. Desert Island, this is a good spot for a rejuvenating vacation in nature, but close enough to all amenities and services, including an easy ride to Bar Harbor.

Very relaxing, comfortable place to stay! Cabin has everything needed to enjoy this beautiful country. The best room in the cabin is the back porch overlooking a peaceful lake with the mountain beyond. Comfy rockers are provided and the host even had a vase of wild flowers prepared on the back porch for our enjoyment. Owner is accommodating and ready to help with any needs. Highly recommend!

Cute and Peaceful Cabin on a Lake

We had a great stay over MDW in this comfortable and private cabin. The deck is awesome, and everything has been upgraded make this a charming, but modern and comfortable cabin. The bed and mattress are great, and we slept well after our hikes and adventures. Highly recommended.Great place to put up your feet after a hike!
Tired, but happy, feet after another summit!

This cabin is awesome!!! Be sure to book it if you’re traveling to Mount Desert Island. It is close to the park and other “must sees”but away from the crowds. The setting is more spectacular than the photos show. The cabin is clean and well equipped. Alex is an awesome host. Attentive and communicative. It was our first time to the island, and we had an awesome experience.

Hidden Gem on Mount Desert Island

Our only regret is that we didn’t get to stay longer. Everything about this place is amazing, and we hope we get the chance to book it again for our trip next summer. The guest house itself is spacious while also managing to feel incredibly cozy. The property is well kept, both inside and out. Everything was very clean, and the house had everything we needed. The shower and bed are top notch. The thing that really stood out to us was how private it is for being so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. This is one of only four properties on Seal Cove Pond, and none of them are near this property. The main house is separated by a thick stand of trees. You can sit on the back porch overlooking the pond and mountains and be totally alone. Our host, Alex, was incredibly friendly and responsive. He respected our privacy, but was quick to respond to any questions we had. Having grown up in the area, he was happy to give us plenty of suggestions for hiking and dining when we asked. Overall, this was by far the best experience we’ve had with VRBO. We definitely took a chance booking a property without many reviews, but it certainly paid off, and we can’t wait to visit again next year!

Such a quiet and relaxing spot, yet close to anything you could want to do on the island. Hearing the loons out in the lake really added to peaceful vibe.

Me and my wife had an amazing 5 night stay. This house is a perfect distance from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Not to mention, a simple grocery store, ice cream parlors, and beautiful fishing/swimming spots are all within 15-20 minutes of the house! We were able to fit everything we had planned on our itinerary in this trip. Great privacy, only thing I wished the house had was a working lock on the back door and or curtains on the living room windows. None the less, great property and owner. Alex had excellent communication and was very polite to us. It was also a nice suprise to us that he had two kayaks. Me and my wife went on a few pond visits with them!Thank you Alex and thank you Maine. -The Plouffe's

Born and raised here on the island. We are a very active family. We love the outdoors and being able to live where we do.

Why they chose this property

Us locals call this side of the island the "The Quiet Side" for a reason.

What makes this property unique

The view, The fact only one side of the lake has any structures. Sealcove has a healthy population of Loons which is the best sound to fall asleep to.
