The 24’ by 36’ cedar log cabin was built in 1989 by three generations of the Grant family. Living quarters consist of a living and dining area with a fully equipped kitchen; a modern bath with hot water, shower/tub, water-saving toilet, sink, and towel closet; 3 bedrooms known by their respective birds on each door:
1) the Baltimore Oriole room has two single beds, a chair, bookshelves, and closet
2) the Cedar Waxwing room has a queen bed, chair, bureau, closet
3) the Hermit Thrush room has one single bed, a chair, small desk, closet.

Surrounding the cabin are 5 acres of wooded trails, salt-water frontage on a tidal cove, 7 kayaks, paddles and life vests available for use. Also on the property is a main lodge which serves as the setting for guests staying at The Alcyon Center, a small teaching and retreat center. The lodge and the cabin are separated by a wooded ravine and stream which can be crossed via steps and a bridge. Our Black Crow cabin (14x16) serves as a nearby small hermitage, with full attached bath with shower, sink and toilet. At the bottom of the driveway next to the salt-water cove are a 16’ screened gazebo and a composting toilet in a cedar hut.

We are less than a mile from one entrance to land in Acadia National Park. You will find that the Park owns property in many different areas of Mount Desert Island. When you are in the cabin at Seal Cove, you are not more than 25 minutes from any part of the park on this Island.

Cell phone reception in Seal Cove is very limited. The land phone at the cabin is: 207.244.0274. There is no TV, microwave, dishwasher, or computer in the cabin. If you need access to the internet, there are many cafes and libraries nearby, and in case of emergency the main lodge has a wireless network on the premises.

There is no smoking in any facility here or on the property.

Pets are allowed provided you clean up after your pet outside and inside the facilities. Pets are required to be on a leash in Acadia National Park.

This cabin was perfect for our family of five to use as a home base for exploring Acadia National Park! The kitchen was well stocked and provided what we needed to prepare our meals. The beds were all comfortable and the family rooms provided ample room for all of us to sit and read or play games. We didn't miss having AC as we would just open the windows at night when it cooled into the high 50s. We loved kayaking on the tidal cove and exploring it at low tide, and we saw porcupines on the property twice, which was pretty exciting! We enjoyed being on the "quiet side" and split our time pretty evenly between activities/hiking on the east and west sides. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and I would love to return since we hardly scratched the surface of all the beautiful island has to offer!

Cozy clean and private…away from the madding crowd. Right by the tidal inlet, which was wonderful, with kayaks for everyone!! Most wonderful place!! I highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy Acadia!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience during our stay at the Kingfisher cabin in Seal Cove. One standout feature of this rental is its access of multiple kayaks, allowing guests to effortlessly explore the Seal Cove and the surrounding shoreline. The property itself exudes an undeniable sense of magic, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking solace in nature. Furthermore, the owner is kind, sharing, and flexible. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay right in the beauty of Mount Desert Island! The cabin was so homey and comfortable with everything we could need. The walking trails were fun to explore. We loved our time on the provided kayaks exploring the cove. Easy access to all of Mt Desert Island / Acadia without the need to go through the main entrance (so skipping the traffic.). Hosts were so helpful and gracious. Available when needed but didn’t hover at all either. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back!

Remote place to disconnect and close enough for discovering the island.

The cabin exceeded all of our expectations! It's very comfortable, well equipped, and perfectly located on the quiet side of MDI. We had a great week. We particularly enjoyed the wooded surroundings, the provided kayaks, the very well equipped kitchen, the comfortable beds, and, because of the cool evenings, the wood-burning stove. In addition to kayaking, we did a lot of hiking and biking in Acadia NP, for which all of the major trails are less than 20 minutes away. So glad we picked this place over something on the Bar Harbor side. A big thank you to Joan, who was an excellent host--friendly, responsive, and very helpful.

We spent a lovely New Year's week at the cabin. It's well furnished and cozy, and we got out for a few winter kayak trips and plenty of hikes in Acadia. Joan and the rest of the Alcyon staff are lovely and hospitable folks. If you're looking to spend some time off the trip and soak in all the Mount Desert has to offer, this is the place!

My wife and I spent a wonderful 3 days here, reading and exploring the cove and lesser doing known hikes. The cabin is exactly as advertised. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything needed. Perfect for quiet contemplation.
