About this property

Secluded Cabin minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Location:
The Pines is located on the north coast of Mt. Desert Island, also known as Frenchman Bay. The cabin is only seven minutes (2.5 miles) from the Acadia National Park visitor center and 13 minutes (5 miles) from Bar Harbor. There are fun and safe bicycle routes to the park and town. This secluded cabin is nestled in pine trees and is 100 yards away from its sister cabin, the Guest House VRBO# 887888. The property has a communal deck with a picnic table that overlooks the bay. The sunrise and sunsets are amazing. Watch lobster boats in the morning.

Note that this is an uninsulated cabin. Which means that if it gets chilly outside - it'll get chilly inside by morning. The wood stove makes great heat. There are also two space heaters and we supply electric blankets.

A fantastic jumping-off point for Acadia adventures

We loved staying at The Pines: cozy, quiet, and the perfect size for three adults and our well-behaved dog. I'd love to stay here again.

Overall, we had a a lovely stay at this cabin! It was clean, the setting was beautiful and allowed our young kids ample space to run and explore outdoors, and it was very convenient to the town of Bar Harbor and our exploration of Acadia. The view from the deck is beautiful - we enjoyed walking down there at different times, seeing the different tides, and even seeing an eagle in front of the sunrise our last day!The cabin sleeping arrangements changed between when we booked and when we visited, so we ended up having to bring an inflatable mattress to accommodate our family. Kevin explained that there has been a change to rental codes that required the removal of one bed.We do wish there had been a few extra amenities - such as a spare pillow or two and kitchen basics like salt/pepper and oil - but we’d still highly recommend this cabin as a home base while visiting Mt Desert Island! 🦞

Idyllic Maine Getaway

A rustic cozy cabin in the woods offering tranquility and water access…it’s exactly what we look for in a Maine vacation. Location can’t be beat. Just a short drive to Bar Harbor for shops and restaurants. Access to the park and carriage trails is convenient.

Great space and location!

We just got back from a wonderful stay at The Pines. The cabin has everything you need and is in the perfect location. Great proximity to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, as well as a nice mini golf spot. The cabin has a rustic vibe, and we loved that. It got chilly at night but the space heaters did the trick and we weren’t cold at all. Our dog had a blast too!

A peaceful adventure

We enjoyed such a peaceful week and slept so soundly! Loved enjoying my morning coffee while doing yoga on the deck with my daughter. We had easy access to get to every part of the island. Such a great place to come back to after our hiking, biking, and exploring activities! Easy access to and prompt replies from the property owner. Highly recommend this property.

Perfect Location!

We loved our week at the Pines! It was the perfect location, close by to Hulls Cove entrance at Acadia NP and close by to downtown Bar Harbor. It was also easy to get to other other areas, less than an hour to Schoodic. Check in and check out was easy and communcation was easy too. The cabin had everything we needed and was nestled in the woods. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the evening after a long day at the park.

Great trip and property

Despite a rough start with a forgotten reservation and unprepared cabin, we found Kevin to be awesome and accommodating to work with. He and Rachel got the place ready while we did a quick exploration of the area. Enjoyed the location and easy access to everything, the views and exploring the shoreline at low tide. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Thank you for a wonderful week.

We loved your cabin! While not right on the water, it was perfect to be in the woods a bit off the beaten path (yet still close to everything!). It was nice to sit on the dock and watch the wildlife and boaters in the evening. Sitting on the deck was so quiet and peaceful. We found ourselves sitting there in the morning and then again in the evening. The cabin provided all the basic needs. Kevin checked in on us to make sure all was good. Thank you for that!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Nealon

Host profile image
My mom and dad started vacationing at Baycliff over 50 years ago. At that time we’d drive up from New Jersey (Metuchen, exit 10) and spend two weeks. I remember going deep sea fishing, hiking, sight seeing and all the other touristy things. Though I think my favorite activity was skipping rocks into the sea. Not that easy with waves and wind. In 1973 the property went up for sale and my dad immediately purchased it. Then we started staying a month at a time in the main house, which, back then, wasn’t much larger than the cabins. One year we brought up all seven of our cats and a raccoon that I was fostering! We’ve been renting the two cabins for over 40 years now years now. The above picture is myself, my two daughters and my mom, who has been taking care of the cabins during the summer. Mt. Desert Island features may attractions. If you ride a bicycle, the carriage roads are amazing! If you like to hike, the hiking trails are amazing! If you like to bird, we have humming birds and warblers! There are also some very good restaurants in Bar Harbor and elsewhere on the island. This really is a wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

Baycliff will destress you. I don’t know if it’s the quiet, the ocean, the cool clean air, the wind through the trees or the sounds of nature, but it will relax you.
