About this property

Log Cabin on Saltwater Cove

This log cabin in the woods is on a gorgeous salt water tidal cove!  Enjoy deer, squirrels, birds, eagles, turkeys and more from the deck!  How about grilling you dinner on the gas grill and eating in the treetops under the sun?  Take a canoe ride to fish or see the views from the water, and warm up at night in front of the wood stove!  
The cabin is wonderfully secluded--many locals don't know it is here, with no neighbors but deer and the occasional eagle flying overhead.  
There is a canoe and life preservers provided. Use the wheeled trolley to help you with the canoe up and down the path if you would like! The path is on the property, and is about a 2 minute walk to the water. It is a tidal cove, so check the tide charts for tides.

Bedroom 1:  Queen sized bed, storage and wood floors 
Bedroom 2:  Queen sized bed, child's bed (suitable up to a 10 year old) 
Loft:  Day bed with a trundle that makes 2 twin size beds.  
There is Wifi at the house. New on this road, it is not powerful for working from home but it is great for checking emails, etc. The wifi is spotty.
It is a short drive to local lobster merchants, wonderful hiking and swimming in pristine lakes.  Feel free to take our canoe out for a paddle in the cove, or head out at low tide so that you can do some clamming in the front of the property.  At the end of the day, take a moment to sit by the wood burning stove. It is a great place to explore the limitless relaxation and recreational opportunities of Downeast and Acadia.  ., about a 18 mile drive to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.  It is also about a 15 minute drive to the Schoodic Peninsula. 
Ellsworth:  8 mile drive to Shaws, Hannafords, Walmart, Renys, LLBean Outlet, Walgreens,  restaurants, shopping, antiquing, theatre, and more.  
Hancock:  4 miles, Carters Beach, clay tennis courts, kayak tours, sailing, Crocker house restaurant, Ruth and Wimpies restaurant, Chippers

A Beautiful Stay

My family and I had a most wonderful time at the cabin by the cove. We dug up clams and tried the canoe, and our dog loved rolling about on the grass in front of the property. The surrounding area is replete with scenic views and quaint shops, and the cabin is a very manageable drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, which we visited several times. We are very pleased with our visit and hope to be back again soon!

Lovely secluded cabin.

We loved our stay here. The cabin was in great shape and a clean. Kitchen was well stocked. The cabin is in a nice secluded area surrounded by woods. You can here a bit of road noise from time to time, but not so much it's take away from the quiet privacy. You have to go down a dirt road to get here, so low riding cars might have a hard time. The walk down to the water was easy enough for a person, but getting the canoe to the water and back would have be really difficult, so we opted not to use it. Don't count on the internet for reliability if you're going to try and use it for work. Overall, I would love to stay here again.

Cozy getaway

We loved the quiet getaway this cabin provided. It was very clean. We were able to easily explore Acadia (both MDI and the Schoodic peninsula) from here. The location is quiet and the porch is so peaceful! We loved the chairs out there. Our hosts were quick to respond when the dishwasher ran all night and pooled water. There was a light flickering in the bathroom, but we found that the vanity lights gave off the same amount of light (we did not contact the hosts since it was not a big deal to us). There were plenty of towels. We always look for cabins with spiral staircases, so we were excited this one had one! Just be very careful around it because it is a tight squeeze between the bedroom entrances and the bathroom entrance (I'm 5'1" for reference.) My kids hit their heads multiple times walking under the steps. We would have loved an extra chair or two at the kitchen table, since the cabin sleeps 6 but there were only 4 chairs. (There might have been additional chairs in the basement, but we didn't look. We tried pulling up a rocking chair, but it was too tight.) The guestbook provides lots of helpful local recommendations for anything you might need in the area, as well as helpful information about the cabin. We ventured down to the water once, but didn't attempt to bring the canoe down. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us!

Lovely beautiful cabin

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin. We loved it to stay there. The cabin has a lot of beautiful details which make you feel home immidiately. The kids loved the floor upstairs because there are a lot of toys for kids. Everything you need you have in this cabin. The Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are not far away but you are not in the touristic area and you have a peaceful and quiet place. The communication with the rental service was great. They take care about all what you need. We had a great time and we hope that we have the possibility to visit the cabin again.

Cabin in the woods

If your looking for a cabin in the woods this is it! Very comfy cozy, has everything you need. Love that there's a canoe for a very peaceful, relaxing, and beautiful scenic crusie on the lake. We very much enjoyed our stay! Be aware of ticks, you may want to use tick spray when going out for walks.

A cozy stay

The cabin is soo cozy and relaxing. Very well stocked kitchen, we had everything needed. The beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets. Tucked away but yet close to so much. Sitting by the water watching the Eagles in the cove, which was a very short walk down the path from the cabin, was incredible. We even watched them off the back deck! Susan even checked in with me to make sure we had everything we needed and to not hesitate to ask if we did. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the cabin again

Great spot for some peace and quiet

We loved this house and it was perfect for us to explore both sections of Acadia. I did think the water would be visible on the deck but I’m looking back, that was clear in the ad and just a misunderstanding on my part. I mention it in case others have the misunderstanding. It was clean and well stocked. We had an issue with an appliance and the team was readily available to assist.

Just perfect for us

We spent a week at this charming, expertly managed cabin,. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Exactly as advertised, the property was the perfect, secluded get away we wanted, while still being close to fresh veggie stands, antique shops,.ice cream, and of course day trips to Acadia + Bar Harbor and all they have to offer. If you want to really unplug and enjoy some quiet time in nature, this is a great spot. We hope to come back next summer!

Cozy Cabin in the Woods

We loved our time in this cabin. It was quiet and remote, which was just what we wanted. We loved the proximity of the tidal cove down the hill and enjoyed using the canoe at high tide and our teenage boys tried “clamming” at low tide. The home was clean and comfortable and the kitchen well equipped for cooking and grilling. We loved sitting in the rocking chairs on the outdoor deck both in the morning for coffee as well as unwinding in the evening. With the overhang you could even sit out there in the rain. The only downside for us was that it was about an hours drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, depending on traffic and where in the park you were going. We knew that going in and did find some good restaurants and things to do close by, but you just have to be ok with the drive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it!

Cabin in the woods

This property was everything we were looking for when we booked a Maine vacation. House was private and secluded. Access to water, although trail was a little tough for my 75-year-old parents. Close proximity to Ellsworth, Acadia and Bar Harbor. Deck was beautiful and house provided everything we needed for our stay. Comfortable seating and beds... loft was great for our pre-teens.

Secluded in nature

Quiet week in Maine with my husband and kids. Very private and nice time despite the rainy week. Enough to do in the cabin and local area to fill the rainy days as it was never a complete wash out. Had to travel 40 minutes to get to Acadia national park and Bar Harbor but didn't mind the trip with the beautiful scenery to take in along the way! Great trip if you want to enjoy alone time in the middle of the woods of Maine.

Cabin in Sullivan

Overall, good property for the price. Quiet and on a tidal cove. We spent most of our time in Acadia and Bar Harbor which is about 45 minutes away, so, we only came home in the evening when we were ready to stay in for the night. Property manager Susan was very responsive when we needed to contact her.

Cozy cabin in the woods.

Located on the quiet side of Acadia near the Schoodic Peninsula, this cabin is the perfect location to explore the more off the beaten path side of the park, as well as a perfect retreat from the crowds. Rustic and cozy, the wrap around porch and deck with grill are awesome additions. We will be sure to stay here in the future.
