Great Fall Vacation, wonderful experience in all ways.

If you are looking for a secluded getaway, this is for you. Wonderful, spacious and rustic with all the comforts of home. We used this cabin as our central location to our moose tour in Greenville and Bar Harbor / Acadia.adventures.

Great place for Maine Adventure!

This cabin is amazing! We stayed there while visiting Acadia and it wasn't too far. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the dvd collection, the bathtubs and the balconies were all great. We wish we could've spent more time there. It's very private and secluded which is also nice. We saw some mice but that's understandable given that it's back in the woods. Would definitely recommend, and would go back with more friends!

Ideally located, architecturally elegant cabin

Great stay. Easy in, easy out. Well equipped & furnished. Accommodating owner. Very comfortable interior with 360 contact with the mildly remote and very natural setting. Fire ring with plenty of seasoned wood an unexpected bonus. Perfect!

Serene setting!

The property was spacious, clean, beautiful & well-maintained with great amenities. Host communicated instantly to any inquiries. It is remote so need to plan ahead for food & other necessities. The only thing I would have liked was ability to recycle!

Wonderful cabin

If you want a place to stay that in the woods this is it. Large cozy cabin nestled in the woods right near the lake. Listen to the wildlife at night and see the stars. Firepit outside with a wood burning stove inside with all the modern luxuries as well. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back in a second.

What a lovely spot in nature!

My husband and I (and two pups) stayed there a month, and it was just the nature retreat we needed! The location is perfect. The house needs a bit of care though. It was very cluttered, the basement was extremely mildewy, and it was disappointing that some of the double-glass window panes are compromised, obscuring the view. However, the grounds were absolutely beautiful and the loons at night were amazing. Such a treat!

quiet setting

Home is located in a very private quiet setting. It's an hour from Acadia NP. The house was not clean, lots of cob and spider webs, dust and cat or dog hair. Owner has been made aware of this. Overall, it was a peaceful stay. The firepit made for relaxing evenings outside.

Phillips Lake Cabin

This cabin offers a great secluded stay in the woods just up from Phillips Lake, leaving nothing more to be desired other than additional time to stay. The lake is just a short walk down the hill, there you can fish and kayak easily. The amenities in the cabin are ample with towels and everything needed to cook and clean. The host Lita was exceptional, providing instructions and things to do in the area. I hope to find myself back up in Maine in the future and stay again.

Maine Getaway

If you are looking for a secluded cabin in the woods, this is it! Beautiful country and a great location. An hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in one direction, and half an hour to Bangor in the other. If I ever go back to Maine, I would definitely stay here again.

Better than I expected!

Seeing as it was built so long ago, I expected a few more quirks and cobwebs than we found. This was definitely a good thing! The house is well taken care of, and a lovely place to stay. We enjoyed our time here very much.

An absolutely lovely cabin in the woods. Remote enough to not see other people while on the property, but close enough to get to town relatively quickly. A perfect place to rest up.

The perfect Maine retreat

Our stay was exactly what we hoped it would be. The property is a beautifully crafted log home nestled in the woods. We enjoyed hearing the loons at night, watching chipmunks and seeing Luna moths on the windows. It is 35 miles from Acadia, but a very easy drive with lots to do along the way. Lita was such a generous host, having plenty of utensils in the kitchen, lots of linens, soaps, shampoos, etc. Even in late June, it got very chilly at night, and having the wood stove was a great bonus. If you’re looking for something unique and a little “off the grid,” this is your place!

Birthday getaway

The cabin was further in the woods then I thought by the description. It's a super cute cabin. On the first night we saw two mice. The host was responsive in telling us where mouse traps were. We caught two that first night. That experience was not what I was expecting, although I realize it's a cabin in the woods and that's probably to be expected but it did put a huge damper on things for me. I was there with my friend and two daughters and they were not as put out as I. The experience with the mice will make for a funny story some day I'm sure. My daughter also got a tick so be prepared for the woods and all the critters and crawlers that live there too.

great even with problems

We enjoyed our stay, especially for the accomodations of the cottage. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The Kitchen was functional especially with all the stuff that was available for cooking. Problems: almost all the side chairs were coming apart. We would have fixed them ourselves if we had some glue. Also, two of the skylights in the Living room leaked.

Cute but remote

The cabin was very cute..but when we booked we were left with the impression that u could see the lake...you couldn't. The cabin is down a gravel road very remote, very. We are all older and were surprised there were no grab bars in either shower..normally not a problem but both bathrooms you had to step over and into a deep tub...also cabin smelled musty especially the basement. When we arrived the back door was standing open so we were surprised by this. I reported these things to the owner. We wouldn't stay again due to the remoteness of it and safely concerns with the tubs.

Total seclusion

The property was very difficult to find. No markers. Up a dirt road. Cabin on the outside was as described. Inside was very musty smelling. Needs to be updated with clean furnishings. There was not a lake view as described. Upon Investigation we found black mold on walls In the basement which the owner stated she knew about but was waiting to fix after season. We were traveling with a cancer survivor and would never have stayed there had we been told about the mold.
