Aspen Cabin is surrounded by Schoodic and Black Mountains on a very private setting that allows you to think that you have this pond all to yourself! 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms will give your family plenty of space to relax inside or outside on the screened in porch after a day of hiking or visiting Acadia National Park. Outside you will find that we have a grill, great wooden swing, a fenced in area to let your dogs go for a run, 3 kayaks and a canoe. A great solo stove to sit around and have smores. If fishing is more your style we have plenty of that, with salmon and trout in Little Tunk. Maybe you would like to go for a swim, this pond is great for that and Big Tunk is just a short walk away! We have a generator all hooked up to immediately switch over if power is ever lost. Aspen Cabin is here to offer you the peace of getting away in the woods while still maintaining all of the comforts of home! We are 45-60 minutes away from Bar Harbor and 20 minutes away from the Schoodic Peninsula.

This exceptional home provides the best of everything—tranquility and comfort in a stunning setting. The pond is perfect for young children, yet also ideal for boating and fishing. We enjoyed local hikes and explored the charming shops in Bar Harbor, making it an unforgettable experience.

We had such a great time enjoying the property. The sunsets were amazing! We felt like we had the lake to ourselves. The authenticity of the log home and decor felt like a real Maine vacation. So many supplies were provided and especially the water toys. I felt like our adult children would get bored by the end of the week, but they did t want to leave!

I can not say enough about the cabin. Shasta was so easy to work with and provided all the details we needed. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and our 2 dogs. The property felt completely private. We enjoyed the peace and privacy but also walks along the property and also were close enough to Bar Harbor, Castine, and Schoodic. The kayaks and paddle boats were so much fun and the lake was crystal clear. The fireplace was amazing for little fires to start the day with out coffee. :). The location was great, groceries and activities are easily accessible. We did not want to leave and hope to return soon and stay longer. Thanks again Shasta for everything.

We loved our stay at this property! Super relaxing and had everything we needed. Kayaking and spending time on the lake was the best part. It made being an hour from Acadia and Bar Harbor more than worth it. Shasta was a great host and extremely accommodating. I will definitely be back!

Our family had the best time at the cabin. The kids swam and fished in the lake while the adults enjoyed watching them and the scenery from the shore. The cabin felt private yet we were close enough to Bar Harbor.

Aspen Cabin was perfect; everything was just as it was advertised! Very clean and well stocked with everything you need. The views were beautiful very serene and relaxing! Little Tunk pond was great and very clean. My dogs loved swimming in it, my husband loved fishing, canoeing and I just enjoyed sitting at the lake and relaxing. We enjoyed taking small little walks around the neighborhood.
Shasta was an amazing host. She was easy to commutate with, very helpful and checked in on us to see how it was going. The Wifi wasn't working when we got there, but Shasta did let us know before hand, but between Shasta and the owner Chris they were very accommodating and very responsive of fixing the Wifi the following day, which my husband and I were very appreciative, that Chris came to replace it with a new Wifi.
I would defiantly recommend Apsen Cabin as a great vacation rental. We would defiantly rent it again but maybe next time we would bring our kids, or I should say young adults. I know they would love it!!
The only thing I would recommend is maybe bring a broom especially if you have dogs. Apsen Cabin does have a very nice vacuum which I used every day, but I like to use a broom, especially when there is staircases, it's just easier for me. This is Defiantly Not a complaint by all means it's just a preference for me. I have been know to bring my own broom sometimes lol.
Five stars all the way!!!

Stunning location, cabin was so awesome, comforts of home but feeling of being remote. Location is lakeside but still within 45 mins of shops. I can't way enough about this place. We will be returning next year!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to stretch out. The kids nicknamed it frog lake due to all of the frogs that would hang out under the kayaks. There are a few other cabins within a close proximity, but we rarely saw or heard anybody. It felt like we had the lake all to ourselves. We need to come back when the sky is clear so we can sit out at night and look at the stars.

Tunk Lake is a pristine, rustic slice of heaven. Cabin was exactly as described; towels were thick, cozy for post swim & showers. Kitchen is well equipped. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Our stay at the Aspen cabin couldn’t have been better! The cabin offered the perfect getaway in the midst of all the best of Maine. Clean, well-stocked, and with a wonderful host, the Aspen cabin provided us with the ideal spot for our Acadia adventure.

Aspen Cabin was awesome!
Our stay at the Aspen cabin was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed the lake every day and the activities, such as fishing, swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. We highly recommend this cabin to all families who want to relax on the lake.

Peace, Quiet, and Beauty
My husband and I started visiting the Bar Harbor region in 1986. We come back every couple of years, with our kids now, because we love the area so much. Each place we rent for the week has unique characteristics that make it different from the previous. Aspen Cabin is the perfect spot for those looking for peace and quiet. The cabin was extremely clean, very well appointed, and aesthetically pleasing. The views from the back of the house, of the pond (it is more like a small lake) and the mountains, are stunning, especially during sunset. There is a nice well maintained yard area with beautiful cinnamon ferns and evergreens bordering. There are only a handful of homes on this pond and the week we were there, none of them were occupied. We had the whole pond to ourself, heaven. During our stay we saw multiple porcupines on the drive in and out of the property, loons (their cry in the evening is magical), a bald eagle at the far side of the pond, and a very cheeky couple of squirrels who were annoyed by our presence, lol. This property is close to Schoodic Peninsula, but a little bit of a drive to Bar Harbor, so take that into account when planning your day. There is an 87 mile gravel multi-use/bike path, the Down East Sunrise Trail, not too far from the property that we biked a few days. We had our street bike and trike, so the going was a little rough, but the rides were beautiful. One direction we rode through some marshy bogs with osprey nests and beaver lodges. The other direction took us to a scenic old steel bridge crossing a beautiful river with small white water cataracts. The trail can be used by walkers, bike riders, horseback riders, and ATV riders. Hybrid or mountain bikes would be better for this trail. A few caveats about the cabin. First, it is a drive to get anywhere, that is why it is so wonderfully quiet and relaxing when on property. Second, the upstairs master is at the top of a steeper than normal staircase with shorter than normal treads and no banister to grab for the upper 1/3 of it. Some with mobility issues would find it difficult to navigate. The main level bedrooms would be a better choice. Third, this property is managed by Shasta, who was more than willing to help us with any issues we experienced during our stay. I can’t say enough about how nice it was to experience that level of commitment to making our stay comfortable.

Great getaway for all ages and dogs!
It's a wonderful location! Little tunk held a daily adventure with eagles, loons, and more! The house was great, very clean, and the area is lovely. We spent a whole week and it was filled with great memories.

Awesome experience!!!
The cabin is very well kept. The screened in porch is very nice for sitting outside and looking at the lake. The fenced in pet area is also very nice. My 2 dog’s had a blast out there running and playing. The lake is also good for fishing. It is very peaceful At night it is very dark. The WiFi is very fast. It’s nice that it has WiFi because cell phones don’t have any service there. There is a landline in the house for calls. The cabin is very pet friendly. They even have a glass jar of dog bones in the cabin. Plus a few dog bowls out on the porch. I highly recommend this cabin. I’m looking forward to going back next year!!!

Perfectly quiet getaway
It was an amazing relaxing experience for us and our dog. The host provided all the amenities needed for the lake and home, with the added bonus of a dog pen that connects to the stairs of the top deck. Instant access to the lake with a beautiful view from the top deck or from any angle.
The inside balcony to deck is very unique and provides the view To the downstairs.

Perfect quiet getaway
We rented this cabin for 4 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The pond that it's on is calm and clear. We had friends and their 2 boys stay with us for 2 nights and the kids loved swimming in the pond and taking the kayaks out. We even tried our hand at fishing!
My husband and I were there by ourselves for the rest of the time and it was a perfect quiet vacation. We had a fire each night and spent mornings with coffee on the screened porch. The bed was comfy and I slept well with the windows wide open and a nice breeze. The cabin is well stocked and we were able to cook and grill and have room for everyone around the table. Everything we needed was there!
The cabin is about 20 mins to Schoodic and 45 or so from Bar Harbor, so an easy trip to either for the day.

Aspen Cabin - Family Vacation

perfect getaway
We had the best time! The cabin was everything the website said it would be. Very clean, in good condition and had beautiful decorations ! Plenty of room for a big family. The location was excellent, in a private area away from the town but perfect for peaceful relaxation. The pond was beautiful with calm ,clear, pristine water. Having the kayaks there ready to go was such a treat, especially early in the morning and at sunset! The only downside was having to drive about 30 min to find a restaurant to eat, but you can also get your own groceries and prepare your food since there's everything you need at the cabin. It was the best choice we've made for a vacation spot and will be definetely be coming back next year!

Aspen Cabin exceeded our expectations!

Perfect Lakefront Property!
Our family of 5 loved everything about this property! It was so helpful to have linens and towels provided, laundry facilities, and even firewood for s’mores! The sandy beachfront on the secluded lake made kayaking with the provided kayaks easy and accessible for everyone. This property is just the perfect lakefront house tucked away in a quiet wooded area! Great communication from owner and easy check in and check out. Would return in a heartbeat!

Beautiful location on the lake, but a long way from everything. Bring a lot of groceries early. Getting things is a long haul.

Fun, relaxing lakeside cabin
Our stay was a great getaway. The cabin was very unique, and offered a fun change of pace. Lake views were spectacular, especially at sunset. Kayaks were definitely a plus and were well used by our group.

Lovely and relaxing getaway
My partner and I had a great week at this picturesque property on Little Tunk Pond. We spent early mornings and late evenings paddling on the pond, and we were an easy commute to many day trip activities. The kitchen was fully equipped for making breakfast and dinner each day. We are not TV people, but we do enjoy music. We were pleased to find the house had a Bluetooth sound bar which we were easily able to connect to our phones and play music from our playlists. The gnats were out in full force. I’m a Maine resident, so we came prepared with head nets to wear while on the pond. The screened porch is a must in Maine, and we loved watching the sun rise and set each morning from the porch. This was the perfect 1st vacation to take since the start of the pandemic! I hope to return at some point to rejuvenate again. Thank you!

A Peaceful Reprieve
We had a wonderful visit to Aspen Cabin. The property is actually prettier once you see it in person...the photos are nice but don't do the property justice! So quiet, so peaceful, and even late in to the fall we had a wonderful time hiking, taking walks, enjoying the beauty of Tunk Pond and just being together playing board games as a family. Shasta, who manages the property, is amazing! We will definitely be back!

First of all, you just can't ask for a more serene setting. The owner, Shasta, could not have been more helpful or responsive. We enjoyed our stay so much that we want to go back again next year! The cabin itself is clean, spacious and cozy. The views from the back porch are lovely.. .it is very private (we even saw a porcupine cross our street at night)!We enjoyed the location away from the hustle of the Acadia area, yet, it is not that far. Will definitely try to go back next year. Very comfortable for two couples - and kids (we didn't bring ours). If you are looking for a lake view in a serene setting, in a cozy comfortable cabin with access to Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Exactly where you want to be is right!
This property did not disappoint! Our priority was privacy and waterfront access. Having 3 kayaks and a canoe at our disposal was very convenient, and we enjoyed fishing on the pond every day. Aspen Cabin is very secluded and Little Tunk Pond is beautiful, with pristine water. It was perfect for us to let our dog swim and run on the property. And the fenced dog yard was a perk for her late night trips outside to pee, without having to worry about running in to wildlife. We loved the fire pit, screened in porch, and upstairs balcony. Shasta was very communicative and quick to respond with any questions. She even let us know the property was available a little earlier in the day for us to check in, which we appreciated since not all rentals will do that. Starter items such as coffee, filters, and water were a nice touch. We don’t usually buy bottled water and the well water is supposed to be potable, but it does have an odor and taste that some may not like, so we really appreciated having some bottled water left for us in the fridge, which we replenished before leaving. Shasta left detailed local information, including how to get to some local hiking trails. The views atop Schoodic Mountain and Black Mountain were unparalleled! We enjoyed our hikes and not having to fight the crowds at Acadia on MDI in order to experience nature’s beauty. It’s about 30 minutes to Ellsworth for groceries, dinner, etc. with some road side dinner and ice cream options a little closer. Winter Harbor is also an option in the other direction.

Most peaceful stay
Aspen Cabin is a gem sitting on the most serene, crystal clear lake. Warm water for swimming, hours spent fishing, gorgeous sunsets, and the most terrific hiking, biking, and lobster rolls within near proximity. We loved the Schoodic area—the beauty of Acadia without the crowds!

A perfect summer getaway!
A perfect summer getaway home filled with cozy rooms, a full kitchen, tv, internet, amenities, and easy access to Tunk lake. Kayaks were enough for the whole family to enjoy. The lake at night turns into one of the most peaceful settings you can imagine. Every night we were enjoying stargazing where you could see the entire milky way. The fire-pit makes for some of the most beautiful and memorable nights ever. You will absolutely want to come back!
