About this property

We now have Starlink internet & Heat Pumps! Our summer months get reserved a year in advance.

What do you think of when you dream of a Maine Vacation.... a cabin on a lake in the woods, super private where you can make memories with your family, watch your dog swimming in the lake- teach your kids how to kayak and fish- have a nice glass of wine on the deck- Lincoln Cabin is gonna check all your boxes!! Directly on Tunk Lake, It is the beauty of the setting that is most captivating. Year after year families choose Lincoln Cabin because it is such a quiet spot, where you can really unplug and unwind. We are not known for great cell reception or motorized water sports (motorized boats are prohibited) or our close proximity to shopping and lots of people**** we are 45-60 minutes from Bar Harbor. We are known for being one of the last quiet gems- on a pristine lake in Maine, where you can listen to nature and truly relax.

Guests have two full, bathrooms, a fresh and modern kitchen, and great dining room furniture! Our kitchen is outfitted with new appliances, beautiful dinnerware and cutlery. Our living area is spacious with a vaulted ceiling which opens on to a deck overlooking Tunk Lake. The cabin is at the end of a private road leading down to a small beach with a dock jutting onto the lake and a swim float. The cabin comes supplied with a canoe and two kayaks. There are many hiking trails nearby, up Schoodic Mountain and also Black Mountain, where you can climb to a pristine glacier pond, aptly named Wizard Pond. You are across from Winter Harbor where there is a ferry to Bar Harbor, and a section of Acadia National Park, or you can make the 45-60 minute drive to Bar Harbor. We have a great little store in Sullivan named Dunbar's, you must check it out or a 30 minute drive takes you to Ellsworth, where there are some wonderful food stores ( John Edwards, Rooster Brother, Hannaford) to name a few!

****Our dock and swim float is pulled up by October 1st

Amazing Place!!

Our family was long overdue for a truly relaxing vacation and this place did not disappoint!! Some of my family likes to truly do nothing on vacation - so sitting on the back porch just taking in the peacefulness of the lake was ideal. Others enjoy being active, so being able to drop the kayaks in the lake and explore was wonderful. My younger kids really enjoyed hanging out on the dock and catching fish in a net. We rented this place to spend time in Acadia National Park, but this house and lake were so awesome we only spent a day in Acadia. There are plenty of things to do within an hour drive, but we were so content at this lake house, it didn't matter. My only regret was not renting it for longer - I was absolutely not ready to go when it was time!

Amazing view

We enjoyed this stay more than we expected and we had high expectations going into this. There’s something about nature and how it brings a family closer together. Thank you for tucking this little gem away for safe keeping. It is our hopes to return again next year. Thanks for everything!!!

Favorite Place Ever

This is the best property we have stayed at. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, that is incredibly clean, is full of amenities for the lake and 💯 accurate…this is your place. Shasta was an amazing and thorough communicator every step of the way - even after we arrived just to reach out and make sure everything was okay. The photos are an exact match for where you will be staying and I’ve stayed at a lot ‘clean’ places but her property truly is. The lake was so much fun and the kids (20, 19, 14 and 12) all had fun. We felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor (fun but crowded) and we actually preferred Schoodic, Corea and the smaller towns around us. I can’t say enough good things. So if you’re thinking about it - do it. You won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend!!! Serenity now....

Our recent stay was an exceptional experience. My husband and I live in a hectic area just outside of New York City, and we were in desperate need of a peaceful escape from the daily hustle and bustle. This cabin provided us with the serenity we craved, and more. First and foremost, the view and the grounds surrounding the cabin were breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting to unwind. The natural beauty of the area, combined with the cozy cabin, created a perfect retreat. The cabin itself was well-equipped with everything we could possibly need. It was meticulously clean and well-maintained, making us feel right at home. We truly appreciated the attention to detail in ensuring that the cabin was in top-notch condition for our stay. Shasta was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Her assistance made our stay even more enjoyable, and we felt well taken care of throughout our time at the cabin. One highlight of our stay was how it affected our two dogs. Typically, they are quite active and prone to barking at various noises. However, in this tranquil environment, they seemed to find their own peace. It was almost like a vacation for them as well, as they didn't have much to bark about, which is quite rare for our furry friends. In summary, this was was exactly what we needed. The serenity, the well-appointed cabin, the stunning views, and the exceptional grounds all combined to create a truly memorable getaway.

Escape to the beauty of Tunk Lake

The Lincoln Cabin is the perfect place to retreat to when you are looking for peace and the beauty of nature. The lake welcomed us each morning for long swims and the sound of loons was the only thing we heard. It’s is a gem of a hideaway and a perfect place to recharge and spend time with family. The cabin has all the amenities you could want and we can’t wait to return another summer. We loved using the kayak and canoe and ending the day gathering around the fire pit. Thank you to our gracious host!

5 star lake cabin

Everything about our stay was first class. The cabin was exceptionally clean, stylishly furnished, and super equipped with everything needed to relax and enjoy yourself at a lake, including kayaks, floating docks, fire pit, plus all the essentials (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom provisions, etc). The lake is a gem - big, scenic, idyllic, private, safe, with no motorboats allowed. It was the nicest lake cabin we've ever rented, perfect for a family getaway. Location-wise, the property is 10-15 minutes off the beaten path, similarly to everything in that area of Maine. This was an attraction for us. The property is 35-45 minutes away from Acadia National Park, depending on which side you choose to visit (the Schoodic Penisula side is closer and less crowded than the Bar Harbor side, so we went there twice). It was no big deal to drive to the Park, and along the way there are 5-10 lobster shacks for lunch or dinner. We flew in/out of Bangor, which was only an hour and 15 minutes away. Easy. Host communication - Shasta was the best ever. Got in touch as soon as I made the booking, send an overview of the property (which was entirely accurate), plus a list of cool things in the area. She checked in before we arrived and when we got there, and was very pleasant and communicative the whole time. The best VRBO experience yet. I'd give the property 10 stars if I could. Everything about it was perfect (and I am typically critical!). High recommend it to anyone.

Lovely cabin, well maintained. Close enough for day trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia but secluded enough for quiet lake days/nights. Owner gives you all the info you need for an enjoyable stay.

Siblings vacation

Despite the rain and chilly weather we made our trip enjoyable. Shasta is a great host and the cabin is lovely. Directions were great and everything we did was within 30-90 minutes away. Take your rain gear, hat and gloves just in case in early June. We look forward to doing again with better weather! Montgomery kids

Fun Family Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our family vacation at Lincoln Cabin. Shasta is a great host, and was very attentive to any questions or concerns we had. The cabin was extremely clean, which is number one in my book. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow for many lake activities, and we spent most of our time visiting various parts of Acadia National Park. Most of these activities took an hour or more of driving which was just about the only downside of staying in Sullivan. I highly recommend Lincoln Cabin for your next vacation!

Spectacular

We had an outstanding time at Lincoln Cabin! We instantly settled in and enjoyed fishing, swimming, canoeing, hiking, cooking, campfires and just hanging out as a family. The hour trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is also so worth it as well and offers so many fun activities. We will be back!
