About this property

Merchant's Log Cabin

Centrally located between Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Schoodic Point. This log cabin is waterfront with kayak's & canoe available. Gorgeous meadow and bay views. Located in the center of Hancock village just 35 minutes from Bar Harbor. Having been born and raised here I know you wont find a more peaceful and relaxing log cabin around.


Resturants: Going on vacation is all about eating what you want, when you want it. If you like a little upscale dining, the Cabin is within walking distance of Chipper's restaurant. Chippers is a locally owned restaurant with the owner himself cooking your meal every evening. If you are looking for something a little less upscale, just a few minutes down the road is Ruth and Wimpys. With the HUGE menu selection, you won't be disappointed! 7 miles away in the town of Ellsworth is the best fried seafood, burgers and ice cream around. Jordan's Snack Bar is also locally owned for over 25+ years. If Maine Lobster is what you are looking for, Lobster Pot Restaurant in Ellsworth is where you want to head. This restaurant is overlooking the Union River with outdoor seating available. The Lobster Pot has a large menu for everyone, including the children. Don't miss out on their homemade Blueberry Pie!

Somethings you don't want to miss out on:
Biking or walking the Carriage trails in Bar Harbor.
Tidal falls-Down east Maine's very own reversing falls with nearby Frenchman's Bay, outdoor barbecue and live music.
If antiquing is a hobby of yours, you will have many around town or just 7 miles away in the town of Ellsworth.

Almost perfect

We will tell you the pictures didn’t do the place justice. We enjoyed it so much. If there is anything that was a negative it would be the road noise was noticeable at times and no place to hang anything except a couple hooks on the door not one closet

Perfect Retreat and Homebase

Our trip was wonderful and we really enjoyed this cabin! The host was super communicative and the space was everything we needed. It was close enough to Acadia and very close to several restaurants. It also had a huge yard and beautiful water view, with access to a fire pit and many other amenities. Would definitely stay there again!

Perfect log cabin near Acadia and Schoodic

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful log cabin! The location was perfect, with easy access to both Acadia National Park and Schoodic Peninsula. We rented bikes through Schoodic and loved exploring the area. The cabin is equipped with everything you could need—from canoes and kayaks to a cozy fire pit for relaxing evenings. The beds were incredibly comfortable. There were plenty of towels, and having a washer and dryer on hand was a huge bonus. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-appointed getaway with kids! Feel free to make any changes if needed!

Maine Getaway

It was a perfect spot for my wife and I. The view overlooking the spacious backyard and the water was quite beautiful from the deck. Very well furnished, all we had to do was supply the groceries and relax. The cabin felt quite secluded even though we were minutes away from many attractions and restaurants. Very satisfied!!!

Merchants Cabin Visit

Cabin was very clean and comfortable. We showed up after a hurricane and there was no power. The host showed up with lanters , flashlights and extra wood for the fireplace. Power was back on the next morning. It was a wonderful comfortable stay.

Michiganders vacation in Maine

The Merchant’s Cabin was a perfect home for our family of four and dog while we vacationed for the week. The location was great as it allowed us to hop over to Tidal Falls and Schoodic one day and Bar Harbor the next. We grilled with the charcoal and gas grill and used the provided pots for a lobster boil. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out each day. If we’re ever back in Maine, we would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront cabin

The cabin was wonderful. We came to visit Acadia National Park. The cabin is about 40 minutes away from the park. The back porch looks right on the water. You can watch the tides come in and out. Very quiet. Grocery store within minutes and lobster places everywhere. Loved every minute.

Cozy Cabin

Beautiful log cabin, loved the antique decor. Everything we needed, great view, comfy beds. For dog walking, go directly across the highway, up the hill less than a quarter mile. There is a little inlet on the left with a park sign. Great walk in the woods, so glad we found that. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing

Wife and I, our two dogs had an amazing relaxing beautiful time. Location is perfect quiet and private. Short distance to great local hikes and fantastic local shopping. Short drive to Acadia national park. Kayaking in Egypt bay was beautiful. All around highly recommended vacation spot. Couldn’t ask for more of a relaxing retreat from our busy lives. Everything from Grilling and chilling on the deck to exploring nature enjoying the beauty of coastal Maine.

Waterfront Cabin retreat near Acadia National Park

This is a lovely appointed waterfront cabin which is private yet a close drive to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. We stayed for a week and it was great having our dog there. We loved watching the tides go in and out. Everything you need is on site. The owners really thought of everything! We even got to make our very own pizza in the brick oven. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby in Ellsworth too. The restaurant across from the property called Chippers had the best chowder ever!
