About this property

Outstanding Oceanfront Log Home near Acadia National Park

A Message to Our Valued Renters:

We’re sure that you are experiencing more stress than you would like in these uncertain times.
A great spot to just relax and enjoy the view. Our renters agree that the photographs don't do it justice. A large great room has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bay, and has a stone fireplace so you can watch the sunset or sit by the fire. The kitchen is very well appointed and includes just about everything the chef desires except the food. There is a full laundry room with a washer and a dryer. No need to waste hours at the laundromat. The rec room includes a ping pong table, games, video tapes, DVDs, and satellite TV as well as a cozy stone fireplace and a seating area to relax and enjoy the fire or the spectacular view of Frenchman Bay. The children's bedroom is furnished with a full/twin bunk bed, a twin size bed, and a Pack n Play. In addition there are two beautifully furnished bedrooms with queen-size beds. There is a queen size sofa bed in the great room, another in the rec room, and two comfortable inflatable beds which each sleep two adults.

The home is located about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor, the hub of activities on Mount Desert Island and gateway to Acadia National Park. Bar Harbor offers dozens of restaurants and shops and also kayak and bike rentals.

Hikers who prefer less crowded trails will find that nearby Black Mountain and Schoodic Mountain offer gorgeous panoramic vistas of lakes, ponds, Frenchman Bay, and the Porcupine Islands without the large numbers of hikers found on the better known trails of Acadia.

Winter Harbor, just 5 minutes away, offers galleries, shops and dining, all located in a quaint lobster fishing village with a picturesque town harbor and dock. A passenger ferry runs numerous trips daily from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor. Lobster pounds abound, and two are located within a couple of miles of the house. Swim and fish at nearby Jones Pond or Donnell Pond at the foot of Schoodic Mountain. Kayaks can be rented in nearby Birch Harbor and kayak tours can also be arranged.

The entrance to the Schoodic Section of Acadia National Park is a few minutes from the house by car or bike, and is a beautiful 'secret' spot which is visited by only a few of the thousands of visitors to Acadia.

Great Views, Quiet/Peaceful area

Great views at the house and very clean well maintained property. If you’re looking for more activities and don’t want to drive 50 minutes to get to Bar Harbor staying in the main part of Acadia might be a better option but we didn’t mind the driving and the area is very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful and relaxing location

This spacious cabin was a lovely stay. It was clean and well appointed. Privately nestled in some pines against the water, you get some nice views through the trees and a short walk to the water to have some fantastic views. This is close to the much less crowded Schoodic Peninsula part of Acadia Park, and let us bike to the park from the cabin. The near by town is small and for those looking to avoid the crowds of Bar Harbor, this is perfect. There is still a ferry to Bar Harbor and you can drive there to see it and the main part of the national park.

Maine Event

We spent a wonderful July week at the home. While the setting on the water was rustic, the home was modern, up-to-date, clean, and well-appointed. The location allowed for magnificent trips to the nearby Acadia National Forest and excursions into a quaint and bustling Bar Harbor. A nature cruise in the harbor, where we saw bald eagles, seals, porpoises, and ospreys, capped off a great vacation.

Loved this hidden gem

From the moment we stepped inside the front door of Rich and Karen’s cabin/chalet we were completely captivated and totally mesmerized. The incredible view of Frenchman Bay greets you the moment you walk through the door. And if the view doesn’t blow you away all of the detailed wood work, high ceilings with beams and craftsmanship that went into the building of this home will take your breath away. They really thought of everything to ensure you and your family are entertained in their home from the ping pong table to board games to adventuring in tidal pools during low tide you’ll love the peaceful down time and chance to unplug and reconnect as we did.

“Maine” Family Experience

Property is beautiful and spacious. We had plenty of room for our party of eight. The most amazing thing about the property is the view!! It greets you as soon as you open the front door. You won’t be disappointed if choose to stay here. I wish the weather had been better for us so that we could have enjoyed the porch more. Everything was clean and it was fully stocked with everything we needed. We’d definitely stay here again!
