Enjoyed our stay at the little house in the woods. Views were spectacular! Location was fantastic. Only suggestion, it was cold and a heater in the bathroom would have been nice. Otherwise loved the place.

Beautiful cabin!

We spent 5 nights at this cabin that was fully stocked with everything our family needed to explore Acadia. Loved staying on the quiet side of MDI, easy access to Bar Harbor and the western side. Host was very responsive to questions and we’d definitely stay here again!

Wonderful!

Thanks for an amazing stay! The cottage well stocked everything we needed. The location was perfect, set back far enough that you feel like you're secluded, yet close enough to walk into town (which we did!). The bed was super comfy and the washer and dryer came in handy! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for being a part of making our anniversary trip a memorable one. :-)

Fun Week in Acadia

This cabin was the perfect place to stay to see Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. It minimized our driving which allowed us to see and do more. We loved the grill and the fire pit. We had a beautiful deer drop by and drink from the creek. We loved the privacy that we had here! Owners were great - laundry onsite, fully stocked kitchen, dry wood provided, and so much more!

This property was such an Amazing find. Walking distance to town and yet it felt nestled deep in the woods. We saw so many animals in just a few short days - deer, turkey, and even a sweet skunk! This property is a wonderful basecamp for visiting Acadia and feels very removed from the chaos of other nearby places to stay. The night sky from this cottage is incredible. Be sure to visit the local restaurants and shops- everyone we met in Southwest Harbor was so welcoming. We will make this property our Go To for Acadia and the surrounding area every time we visit Maine.

We had a fantastic stay at this cozy cabin! Check-in was seamless, and the house was spotless and ready for us upon arrival. As a family of four, we found the space to be incredibly well-designed—our kids (ages 11 and 14) loved sleeping in the loft, while my wife and I were very comfortable in the bedroom on the main floor.Although the cabin is compact, it never felt cramped. The layout, furniture, and even the bathroom were thoughtfully arranged and made the space feel open and inviting. Everything—from the indoor seating to the outdoor furniture, grill, fire pit, and kitchen appliances—was in excellent condition, super clean, and a joy to use.The location was ideal: just 20 minutes to Acadia’s main trails and Bar Harbor, and only a few minutes to the nearby downtown. It was the perfect home base for exploring the area.We highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed stay near Acadia park. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

This cabin was amazing! The location back in the woods up the end of the road was a welcome retreat after days exploring the island and Acadia. The deck was perfect for coffee in the morning or drinks at night. The sunrises were beautiful to watch from our own bedroom. :). Fire pit was so cool to have and the wood provided was perfect . Vicki was a great host and we’d definitely come back for a stay in the future.

Perfect location and all the amenities in a cabin-like setting. Easy to walk to town (just walk down the long driveway) but just as lovely to relax feeling away from it all. The deck was perfect and we had a nightly firepit with the fully stocked solo stove. Laundry in the outside area was very much appreciated as were the games tucked away inside. We loved every minute of it!

WONDERFUL!!

Our second time here. It is a lovely cottage with great location. After the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor this meticulous and quiet cottage is a perfect place to unwind with a plus of a fire pit with wood provided each day. Highly recommended !!!!

Doug Beal, Jr. a 5th generation, lived in Southwest Harbor his whole life. He and his wife, Vicki, owned a Marine Conctruction and Diving Business for 41 years. They decided to start a retirement business, so, they began building seasonal rental cottages. Doug completed 3 of them before he passed away in the summer 2015 ( Homeaway #3498723 and #3498716 ). Vicki is carrying on the business that she and Doug started, together.
The three cottages can house 19 happy vacationers, (for a group looking to vacation, together), or rent one for a family. Woodland Cottages I, II and III, all have great holiday appeal ~
