We had a great stay at Spruce Chalet! The view of the ocean from the deck is just gorgeous, any time of day, any weather. There are steps right out the door down to the beach, and the kids had fun looking for sea glass and shells.
The chalet itself was the perfect size for our family of four and dog. It had a nice selection of books, an open floor plan and a small but mighty kitchen with everything you need to make a good meal. It has a sweet, cozy feel, and is also large enough so it felt like we could have some quiet space too.
Sweet Pea’s, just down the street, is a great restaurant (with adjacent winery and coffee shop), and an outdoor covered deck overlooking the farm. It’s dog friendly, too!
The chalet is about 9 minutes to Bar Harbor, and about 5 to the Hulls Cove entrance for Acadia. We often drove into town, parked in one of the lots, and took the free Island Explorer bus into Acadia. There is also a route that stops close to the chalet (Hadley point campground). We were able to pack a lot in—Cadillac, Gorham, Thunder Hole, Sand Beach, Jordan Pond House, and Eagle Lake. We took a day trip to the Cranberry Islands too, went on Lulu’s Lobster boat, and caught a movie at Reel Pizza.
It was nice to have a place to relax at the end of the day that was just far enough to feel remote, but close enough to be convenient.
Peter was very responsive when we had any questions, and is knowledgeable about the area. We’d definitely stay here again!

We prefer to stay away from the congestion, most destinations have. We choose Cabins like this. Peace, quiet, Scenic. Grandkids loved going down to the Rocky Beach.
Spruce Cabin is comfy, good Beds, about everything you need. A little more Rustic, than the pics reflect.... but not at all a bad thing.
Instant communication with Owner, good guy!

Our family loved this little cabin - while tiny, it had all we needed and was truly the perfect location to explore Acadia and Mount Desert Island. We enjoyed the drive to and from the park and Bar Harbor. We also loved having Sweat Pea's and C-Rays so close and ate at Sweat Pea's twice! The lovely view, my daily yoga and coffee on the deck, the direct access to the stairs down to the shore, exploring the shore and water during low tide; we truly loved the stay. Thanks for sharing the chalet!!

Cozy little cottage on the lake! We greatly enjoyed our home away from home. It is tiny but it was just what we needing in a landing pad for our day hiking trips in beautiful Acadia. There were some plumbing issues while we were staying there, but Peter got right on fixing it.

Host communicated with us throughout the visit. Enjoyed the location. Only complaint would be the shower head. A new one would do wonders.

Loved the cabin - it was perfect for our family. We were happy to be out of town and on the water, beds were comfy and the cabin clean. Had enough pots and pans, utensils to cook meals.

This was the first time we visited Maine, and Maine did not disappoint. Spruce met all our needs and Peter was the perfect host. He was quick to answer all my questions/ texts as well as fix the outside deck light. The house had everything we needed to make our own meals and hang out at night playing cards. Also having a house on the beach was a great way to spend time fishing or walking or just sitting Spruce is in the perfect location to Bar Harbor, Acadia, National Park, as well as the surrounding areas.
We loved our dinners from Mainely barbecue, as well as Sweet Peas. C-Rays lobster was the best around. I highly recommend Spruce to anybody visiting the Bar Harbor area and wanting to wake up every morning to hear the ocean waves on the beach. I am sure we will return one day and hope to stay at Spruce again. Thanks Peter and team for ensuring a wonderful vacation.

Spruce Chalet was everything we needed it to be, while spending a brief period of down time with our son between his final exams and college graduation from RPI, as he enjoyed hiking familiar trails from past vacations. The cabin was just as described, cozy, comfortable, and clean, the consummately perfect place to rusticate on Mount Desert Isle. Take a book, enjoy the views, and make the most of one of the best National Parks in the eastern United States. Thanks to Peter for his exceptional communication.

Peter was such a kind host. We had a wonderful stay in his clean, rustic cabin. The seaviews were beautiful. It is located high above the beach, where you can explore interesting tidepools and collect the most delicious fresh mussels for dinner. The kitchen was well equipped for gourmet cooking. The beds very comfortable with skylights above, where you can see a million stars at night! It is six miles from downtown Bar Harbor and close to all parts of Acadia National Park. The cabin has a rustic charm. The bathroom is basic, but there is a good supply of hot water. There is a firepit in the woods right outside. We will definitely stay in this lovely cabin again!

The spruce chalet is a modest, rustic cabin in a great location on the water, near Acadia. The doors to bedrooms and bathrooms do not provide full privacy, as they do not close well and have gaps. Mattresses in room with bunks were very uncomfortable. The cabin was dark and needed additional lighting-difficult to even play cards in the evening. No heat in bedrooms (chilly at night) and cabin seemed to lack insulation. Only had two rolls of toilet paper for a week stay. Location allows for convenient tide pooling opportunities. Overall, great location, but cabin was not as nice as expected.

Beautiful property with water views and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We thought it was perfect for two but could also comfortably fit a family of 4-5. Peter was responsive and provided many useful recommendations to make our stay more enjoyable. Kitchen is well equipped. We would certainly stay again when in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Spruce Chalet at Shore Haven. The chalet was simple, comfortable, quiet, in a beautiful setting, and convenient. It was perfect for us. We were vacationing with friends who were camping nearby, and also had friends visit for part of the week. This place fit our needs quite well. Communication with the owner about accessing and using the chalet was excellent. It was convenient to the island bus route and points around Bar Harbor and Acadia, but out of the hubbub. It was a wonderful place to spend the week.

Escape to nature
I was drawn to this location because of its rustic setting. Great quiet location just outside of busy Bar Harbor. For any nature lover, this is a great location. Lots of bird watching including Bald Eagles and also seals in the water just to name a couple of things. Very adequate kitchen to cook meals. A few restaurants close to the house but plenty in nearby Bar Harbor. There’s a general store just across from Chart House (both close) that has the most amazing baked goods. You’re very close to the Acadia park entrance. The house has great views to the water from either the large porch or inside looking through the large wall of windows. Plenty of fans supplied during those more seemingly common hot days in Maine since house doesn’t have AC. When the tide is low, you can walk the beach in either direction with Hadley point (and beach) close…one of the best spots to see the sun set. The house also has a great view of the sun rise each morning.

Terrific cabin on the water close to Bar Harbor
We had a wonderful family vacation at Spruce. The house is secluded but the steps lead right down to the bay. The house is a rustic cabin with 2 bedrooms. The bedding is very comfortable. The bathroom is small but the Rinnai placed right above the shower provides for plenty of hot water. The views of the bay from the deck are killer. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and it was clear he cares about his guests and will address any issues should they arise. Great house!

We enjoyed our 5 night stay in Spruce chalet with 2 teens and a dog. It was wonderful working with Peter, the owner. Great communication. Cozy rustic chalet with modern amenities. Very clean and comfortable. Location is great for easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Amazing views from deck for sunrise and sunset from the private shoreline . Private shoreline access via steps for exploring tidal pools during low tide and abundant quantities of mussels , fresh to pick and steam and enjoy on the deck. Watched lobster boats going our early am from deck. Saw eagle in trees right off deck and watched lobster boats in the bay. Relaxing on the deck and enjoying the views of the bay was definitely a highlight for us! We will be back!

Great views!
This rental was perfect for our family vacation! The views from Spruce are amazing and our daughter loved going down on the shore everyday during low tide. The location was great with a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The owner was very attentive and made sure everything was going well while we were there.

Peter's cabin was perfect for our week in Bar Harbor. Not only is the location convenient for all the places we wanted to visit, but the views each morning and evening were spectacular! The cabin had everything we needed, although we did not cook, so I cannot comment on the kitchen supplies. It was quite cold, and the heaters did a good job of keeping up with the chill. I would comment that, while the listing says there are two bathrooms, one of them is an outdoor shower, and it was too cold to even consider. So, really there is just one bathroom. Bedrooms were comfortable, and we LOVED watching the starrs through the huge skylights. Would love to return on our next visit to MDI.
Thanks, Peter, for your graciousness and communication throughout our stay.

A Wonderful Rustic Cottage with a Spectacular View
My husband and I loved our stay at Peter's cottage. The location is convenient for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view of Mt. Desert Narrows. Peter provided a wealth of information regarding the cottage and area and remained in contact with us from the time of booking. The caretaker checked in on us as well. The cabin has everything needed for a comfortable stay, however, we do think it would be tight for 5 people. It should also be noted that there is no clothes washer and dryer which was fine as we read prior reviews and planned accordingly. We would definitely go back!

Location was beautiful, but pictures made the cabin look bigger than it is and the price was high considering the rustic accommodations. Larger people would be uncomfortable here - the one bathroom is TINY, with very little room to move in the shower. Bedrooms are also small, and the only (small) TV is shoehorned into a bedroom corner . The deck was beautiful and the view is stunning, but the bottom line is that it was definitely not worth the money we paid to stay here. No washer/dryer, broken outdoor showerhead, no cable and no dishwasher (despite being asked in owner's manual to load it before departure).
