We had a great stay. We watched the sunrise each morning, pleasantly surprised by eagles flying past the deck and cautiously passing deer drive in most evenings. The rustic cabin with modern conveniences offered solitude, yet close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Southwest Harbor. Hadly Point Beach around the corner is a hidden gem for sunsets and star gazing. Peter was a great host as well and a very responsive communicator.

This was a beautiful scenic retreat - cabin with a view you’ve never experienced! We enjoyed the feel of the outdoors without camping. It was all we needed for resting every night after a long day of Acadia National Park adventures. It was cold in October but there were small heaters in every room to keep us warm.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Birch Cabin. We could watch the sunrise, eagles fly past seals in the bay and lobster fisherman check their traps every morning while drinking coffee from the deck or living room window. We had everything we needed and loved being a part of the Maine’s woods and cove experience. Peter is a fantastic host and communicator. The location is very close to Acadia National Park and the town of Bar Harbor. A really great authentic Maine experience!

We loved everything about this little place. The porch was a little piece of heaven and it coupled perfectly with a place up the hill that Peter also owned for a bigger family vacation. (I accidentally left my original review for the chalet there instead of here.) Would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay, check in was smooth and easy, Peter was great about keeping us up to date with possible early check-in. The Bluebery Pie and Preserves were excellent! Peter was great with communication and giving recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The binder was extremely helpful. Thanks for a great stay Peter!! We will be back!

Pleasant space, good location, and lovely setting. A few improvements, however, would be welcome, and a note with those details was left for the property owner/manager. Unfortunately, efforts to contact property managers will on the property were unsuccessful.

The cabin was perfect. The caretaker and the owner were open for communication even months prior to our stay. Every question I had was answered, every amenity I needed was available. 15 min from BH and Acadia, stunning views in the morning, noon and night, five minutes from a lobster pound and ten minutes from the airport….This cabin is a hidden gem and I’m hesitant to hype it up so much, because I want it to be available when I need it again! Haha! The cabin was so well taken care of and the kitchen had everything I could need…I’d live here if I could. The cabin made the vacation, trust me. I’d choose Salsbury Cove’s Birch Chalet over any hotel, any bed and breakfast, any time, any day. 10/10, I’m already looking into when I can come back. And that complimentary bottle of blueberry jam?! I already ordered a case of it from Maine. I’m hooked. Thanks Peter!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin in the woods that is so convenient to so many things to do. The views from the cabin are wonderful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Owner was great!

The property was clean and easy to access, the host was great and wanted to make sure we were happy. The property was rustic but clean. The kitchen had everything you needed.

Though a bit rustic, this property was ideal for exploring all Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor had to offer. Coming back after a long day was easy and relaxing with the scenic waterfront view to look at. Sunrises were beautiful and peaceful. The cottage is older, the floors creak, are a bit uneven and the bathroom shower is a bit small, but everything worked and it made for a wonderful stay.

Peter's beautiful cabin was the perfect launching point for us for visiting Acadia and the surrounding area. The view out the living room/kitchen and on the deck is simply amazing. The sunrises were spectacular and the sound of waterfowl was everywhere all the time. I saw a bald eagle fly right by the house. We also saw harbor porpoises, seals, kingfishers, herons, and other waterfowl we don't even know out on the water.
The location is very very good. You are not far from Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Southwest Harbor at all. We hiked all over Acadia and enjoyed the scenery. We also enjoyed the local stuff nearby including Mainely Meat, Udder Heaven (incredible ice cream), and putt-putt.
Peter was a great host as well. He was very responsive and even helped me recover an important item that I left behind!!!
Hope to be back one day!!

A beautiful and peaceful Maine vacation
My family and I stayed here early in June! We loved it! The chalet has everything you need. The owner responds quickly and is very thoughtful! He even leaves recipes and popover trays! The most memorable part of the trip is my kids collected mussels on the shore and steamed them! I will recommend this chalet!

Loved Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Salsbury Cove/Birch Chalet was perfect, we had beautiful sunrises every morning. A nature lovers in delight, we were greeted by a deer on our way down the driveway. Saw all kinds of birds, seagulls, loons, woodpeckers and even a bald eagle. Had a hummingbird fly around us on the deck. Saw otters in the morning, loved the sound of the waves crashing and watching the tides change! Peter was a fantastic host, he had everything available that you could possibly want. The area was very peaceful, chalet was very cozy. Location was easy to get around the whole island, lots of great restaurants if you didn't want to cook. Would definitely come back. We would highly recommend this place.

Perfect for exploring Acadia!
Lovely bay front cabin was a perfect base for exploring Acadia. We enjoyed being able to sit on the deck in the mornings and evenings. Peter was a helpful and responsive host.

My wife and I spent five nights at the Birch Chalet and this is one of our favorite vacations. Check in was easy and the location is perfect. Our favorite part was the view from the deck and how quiet it was. Waking up everyday and walking out to the deck was a highlight. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was hot. We were only 10 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor with all the great restaurants and shops, but felt like we were all alone. The property had everything we needed for our stay and Shaun even brought us an iron by for us.
The Birch Chalet is located close to Acadia National Park and all the amazing sites and hikes. It was truly a great experience for us.

The birch cottage was our ideal getaway…peaceful, cozy, and views that are absolutely breathtaking. The proximity to everything MDI has to offer can’t be beat. Rev Peter has provided a nice compilation of favorite restaurants, hikes, markets, etc that we referenced daily. We especially enjoyed the restaurants Havana and Ironboard, based on his recommendations. The cottage itself is well equipped, which made eating in easy and enjoyable. We booked the birch cottage so that we would have something pretty to look at while our toddler napped in the afternoons. The views at this property far exceeded our expectations. This is truly a gem of a property. We hope to visit again next year.

We had an amazing stay at the Birch Chalet. The views from the deck were the best part. We saw bald eagles multiple times! The location is the perfect distance from Acadia National Park and downtown Bar Harbor. It is very convenient but you also feel like you’re tucked away in your own little private oasis. Owner and property manager were extremely accommodating for us. Highly recommend for a family getaway. We will be back!

Charming MDI Chalet with Stunning Ocean View
Birch Chalet was utterly charming. Tucked back into the woods with a stunning view of the ocean, this warm, sun-filled cottage exceeded our expectations and worked perfectly for our family of four (two teens and two adults). Our host, Peter, was a delight to coordinate with, always replying promptly and providing lots of very useful info about the chalet and surrounding area. Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor were just minutes away, though we felt ensconced in natural beauty and enjoyed the quiet privacy of our retreat. The chalet was very clean and well-appointed—we had everything we needed and more: nicely stocked kitchen, including everything you’d want for making an unforgettable lobster & mussel feast. Waking up to that view each morning with a lovely deck and sofa from which to sip our coffee was an experience we’ll remember for years to come. We even spotted a harbor porpoise from the deck twice while relaxing there. No doubt about it, we’ll be back!

The moment we pulled up to the chalet we were greeted by the property manager, Peter, who was more than accommodating.
The house itself is situated on a bluff that overlooks the ocean- it's a beautiful view even when the weather doesn't agree.
It is in a location that is ten minutes or so from the town square and a stone's throw away from the nearest lobster pound.
Peter was very communicative and was able to help when we had any questions.
The skylights in the bedroom were wonderful for stargazing at night, but with the drawback of having the sun greet you at sunrise.
This was the perfect place for our weeklong get away, the location is great. I'd definitely come back here again.
I almost want to leave a bad review so that I can keep this place all to myself.

Coffee with a view
The location of this property is spectacular and is seemingly built for a morning cup of coffee. The view from the outdoor seating area overlooking Frenchmen's Bay to see the sunrise over the water is made for waking up in tranquility. On several occasions we saw a dolphin swimming as well as one time we thought a seal was feeding at high tide. The steps take you to a rocky "beach" that is full of views to amaze you and while you're there... harvesting and cooking plentiful muscles defines fresh seafood.

Would absolutely return
This was the perfect getaway for my two friends and I. We traveled from Ohio to Maine for the first time, looking for a relaxing place to stay in proximity to Acadia National Park. We literally gasped when we woke up and saw the view from the living room/deck and I wish I could wake up and drink my coffee on that deck every single morning. Peter was very kind, helpful, communicative and his recommendations and care for our trip absolutely contribute to how much we loved our stay. I can’t recommend this place enough!
