About this cabin rental
Enjoy a quiet, peaceful vacation in a secluded rustic original Lucerne-in-Maine cabin nestled among mature trees on the side of a mountain. Our cabin, built in 1929, has 2 bedrooms, a screened porch, a sun filled dining room, and, a 16x24 ft. deck, all overlooking scenic views of Phillips Lake and the surrounding mountains. You will enjoy the outdoors the entire time you spend at our cabin. We have provided almost all the amentities you will need; including all cooking utensils, linens, outdoor furniture, fire pit, propane or charcoal grill. Or, spend some quiet time in the cabin enjoying a fire in the granite fireplace.
When you venture out to explore Maine's beauty; you will be located 10 - 15 miles from Bangor / Brewer, Maine to the north & Ellsworth, Maine to the south; both of these areas have Super Walmart and any other possible ammenity you may need.
Further to the south (34 miles) is Bar Harbor, Maine; Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Or, take a drive down coastal Rt. 1, where you can stop at several roadside flea markets, antique shops, scenic views, and, restaurants along the way.
To the north is Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine where you will enjoy more scenic views. Moosehead Lake is 40 miles long where a ride on the 'Katadin' river boat is a wicked way to capture all the views including Mt. Kineo.
A short distance further to the north is Baxter State Park. This area is more than 20 sq. miles of forest to explore with scenic water falls, lakes, wildlife, and the magnificant Mt. Katahdin...the largest mountain in Maine.
I have lived in this area for over 20 years, and I have not been able to see everything Maine has to offer.
We have thought of almost everything! We supply some paper products to start your visit off. All you will need to bring is food to grill, your clothes, family, friends, and your toothbrush!
Come join us for an amazing, restful vacation; fulfilled with beautiful, peaceful scenic views of Maine. I believe you will come back again and again.
If there is anything we may have forgotten or something special you would need during your stay, please ask.

We spent the weekend while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
Quaint cabin but close to town. Enjoyed the firepit. Great for our dogs.
My only constructive feedback is that the beds could have been more comfortable.

At the time I booked the property It was advertised with a fridge and oven. I arrived to find the property had no oven at all, and a dorm sized fridge. It was also advertised as having AC, but in reality It only had a single window unit in the living room that wasn’t even big enough to cool that room, let alone the bedrooms and the rest of the house. I messaged the property owner, and her response was just that it’s usually cold there and the property is rustic, and she changed the listing for future users. We had to throw away a bunch of food as there was no way to cook it, but found the trash was already full. It took the owner two days to empty it so we’d have someplace to put our trash in the meantime, mice got into the property ate through some of our soft shell luggage, and got into all the food that could not fit in the small bread box or dorm fridge. I would have rather stayed at a KOA campground in a tent where at least I’d have clean water and a cooler with me to store my food away from animals. Profoundly disappointed.

This is a fabulous cabin and the host is lovely and the check in process is great and location is great! That said, the kitchen is lacking and not quite as advertised. There was no oven. The fridge is a mini fridge which was very limiting. The stove top is really just a two burner hot plate which functions but is very slow. That said, for the rustic and wonderful location, it was just great!

My sister and my daughter and I love staying in this almost 100 year old and hand built cabin tucked in the woods surrounded by rhododendron trees. It is an older property so some things are old., but this added to the charm and the feeling of being part of the old main woods. Thank you for sharing your home with us

We really enjoyed the cozy cabin in the woods. It truly felt like the cabins we both visited as children. Loved all of it.

Interior clean but very dark. Ceiling fan on porch not working. Repairs were being done to deck so anything replaced was just thrown off side of deck. View from screened in porch obstructed buy large water holding tank or septic tank. Beds very uncomfortable. Water not working first day property owner was able to have turned on within a few hours of our texting her. Had booked for 9 days left after 3 days.

Wonderful place with an owner who was very responsive to my needs.

Beautiful scenic location in between Bangor and Acadia with a well stocked market within a 9 minute drive. Only complaint is the internet suffered during the rain, but cable still worked.
4.4
We enjoyed our stay here. The place is just as we had hoped, a nice cabin in the woods. We used this as our basecamp to take day trips to Acadia. It's about an hour away, but the drive is easy and nice. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

This cabin was the perfect location for our stay in Maine. The cabin was charming and had all the amenities. We were able to relax on the screened in porch and watch the mountain disappear into darkness. It was also a short drive to Acadia where we spent our days hiking. The host was kind and helpful.

The cabin was rustic and had its own charm. It was nice after a day in Acadia to come back and grill dinner and have a outside fire and relax.

This rustic cottage was better than anticipated from listing and some reviews. It was perfect for us and our 2 pups and had everything we needed. It rained making us unable to use fire pit and great deck. Loved the screened porch. It was a little further from Arcadia than we though. We only spent 2 nights and if our stay was longer we would have explored the area. The inside fireplace was relaxing and warm while we listened to the rain.

This was a unique stay near Acadia National Park! It was very peaceful to stay in the woods in a rustic cabin and the surrounding area was very beautiful. However, I had a couple worries with the stay: having to reach out to the owner after our check in time to get instructions on how to access the building and the water situation. It would have been nice to know about the water issues prior to checking in but we made it work! Overall, this is a very neat place and I would recommend staying here.

The water went out the day after we arrived. We were told it would be 5 or 6 days before it could be fixed. They brought us bottles of water for flushing the toilet. We couldn’t shower/bathe. They offered for us to go to a campground 7 miles down the road to shower/bathe. That’s not practical when you have a family of 5 to do every day of your vacation. We couldn’t cook or do the dishes. They stopped communicating with me on the repairs. So we had to go to a hotel instead. They refused to give me a credit or refund. Honestly it was the worst vacation.

Very tranquil secluded cottage. It’s rustic, but that’s what we were looking for. Will stay there again!

Rustic cabin experience
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property manager was quick to respond, polite, and very helpful when we had questions. We recommend this listing.
Note: The property doesn't just have a cabin feel, it is (italics) a cabin. If you're looking for comfortable hotel-level convenience, this might not be for you. You're in the woods so there are bugs. The water isn't always consistent (not the fault of the property, but the area). But the rustic experience is real and we loved every minute of it. There is a beautiful stone fireplace inside and the place came with its own wood and drinkable water. For colder months there's two outdoor firepits and the patio area is both private and nice. I don't think the pictures do it justice.

Simple property to help you get out and explore Maine's natural beauty.

Fireplace nice but except for first night, we had to buy our own firewood. Unfortunately, mice along with their poop, all over the kitchen. Feeble water pressure not adequate for showering. Water had bad taste so we bought our own. Grill wouldn’t light. Mattress was comfortable. Very hard to turn around in the driveway with a full sized pickup. Easy driving to see the beauty of Downeast. Great TV and WiFi. Nice screened in porch to take in the sunsets.

Average. Location good but kitchen
not clean and only heat was a space heater. Fireplace was suspect. Needs flue cleaned.

Overall great stay. Clean, easy to get to, well stocked, quiet location. My only caveat is that “lake view” is a bit of a stretch but over great stay- we’d definitely stay again.

This place was absolutely beautiful and nicely tucked in a little woodsy area. The description was a little misleading with the Waterfront, the lake was somewhat visible but nearly as much as I thought it would be. Otherwise, my partner, dog, and I all had a very nice stay and felt this was a very special little cabin. We definitely can't wait to come back!

This is a gem.. The cabin feels like u r secluded in the woods but u r not far from a highway. The grounds r beautiful...The cabin is cozy and unique. The fireplace is amazing and the outside deck is big with a firpit. We went around Arcadia and bar harbor and was able to back and enjoy the peace and quite. Our host got back to us very quickly with any questions we had. This is a place to go to reconnect with family and forget what is happening in the world...

the cabin could be very nice if some things were done - better lighting inside, clearing of landscaping around the cabin and some work at the end of the driveway. it makes it very dark and not welcoming at first sight. the water went out the night before we were to check out. we contacted the owner, but never heard back from him until the next morning. we had no water the last 15 hours of our stay. he didn't seem concerned and didn't offer us any type of compensation.

It was a real adventure for us to have the chance to stay here and we loved it! Enjoyed all the special touches that made us feel right at home. We enjoyed grilling out on the deck and waking to all the mysteries of nature. We were in Maine for a family wedding so were filled with all of those activities and didn't get to Cadillac Mountain but hiking and Schoodic (sp?) Point was wonderful, as was our lobster dinner at High Tide. What a beautiful area this is!
