Location:
The Pines is located on the north coast of Mount Desert Island overlooking Frenchman Bay. The cabin is just 7 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 both the park and town.
This secluded cabin nestled among pine trees, located about 150 yards from the shared cliffside deck used by all three Baycliff rentals: Baycliff Cottage, the Guest House, and The Pines. Perched at the edge of the property, the deck offers sweeping views of the bay, nearby islands, and distant mountains. With built-in bench seating and a picnic table, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy breakfast, unwind with a glass of wine, or share a peaceful picnic. Guests occasionally spot dolphins or seals in the water, and sometimes even a bald eagle soaring overhead.
The cabin itself features a wall of large windows across the front, bringing in beautiful natural light and connecting you to the surrounding woods and coastal setting.
