The cabin is cozy and had everything we needed for a tranquil, clean, and comfortable stay. We're a family of 4 and there were beds to spare. Marijo, the host, checked in via message to see how we were doing. She had also been prompt in answering my questions prior to our stay.The only drawback was the length of time it took to drive to Acadia NP each day (45-60 min depending on traffic) Next time we'll stay much closer, although that will likely mean sacrificing the peace of having a cabin to ourselves with only the birds for neighbors!

The cabin was beautiful and very clean. When we had a problem it was taken care of as soon as it could be taken care of. The owners of the property were very friendly and helpful. There was only one thing that could of been better the WiFi or internet connection could have been better. But everything else was great.

Property is clean and comfortable. My 2 teenage sons and I enjoyed making fires in the firepit and using the kayaks in the little stream. Good location for relaxing while surrounded by nature.

We just got home from our stay in this cabin. The home is cozy, clean and well stocked. It's a mile off the road and sits on a beautiful meadow with a creek running in front of the porch. The property is just enormous and so lovely to walk around. We didn't have any contact with Marijo or Den while we were there but they left plenty of ways to reach them should we need assistance. If you're contemplating renting this home don't hesitate. You will not regret it at all. I hope to get back someday soon. You definitely need more than a week to explore the area.

Was happy with location when visiting acadia national park. Cabin was nice. We came during drought and heat wave so we were a little hot a few evenings. Enjoyed the kayaks. We appreciated the owners kindness when we let propane tank run dry by mistake and left ceiling fan on all night and ran solar power out. We took many happy memories in the cabin back home with us.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. It was exactly as described and it was very secluded, which was exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. We enjoyed the kayaks that were provided and found a beaver dam on one trip. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing!! The Young’s were excellent hosts and were very responsive to any need. We would love to return, but after 4 trips to Acadia I think we should let some other National Parks have a chance:) Thanks again!!

Lovely place to get away from it all!
Lovely place to get away from it all!
This cabin is in an absolutely lovely area on Marijo and Dean's extensive property. It's the perfect place to get away from everything! It's so quiet at night, all you can hear are the frogs and crickets. During the day we watched for wildlife, but it was hot (by Maine standards) so we didn't see much. Note the listing says there is wifi, but it's at the garage, 1.5 miles from the cabin. And cell service is sketchy at best - I could generally get a weak signal sitting on the loveseat, enough to keep up my Wordle streak at least! :-) The opportunity to disconnect was welcome (at least by me) so this was fine, but others should be aware of it. The upstairs area is accessed by ladder, which is very sturdy but my 4 year old was a bit scared to descend on his own. A more confident and/or older kid would love it, though. And there's a very nice shaded patio area upstairs! The cabin is not air conditioned, which is fine for probably 50 weeks out of the year. Unfortunately for us, we were there in one of the other 2 weeks. The first few nights were ok as it got down in the lower 60s at night, enough to cool the inside quite nicely, but toward the end of our stay highs were approaching 90 and lows in the mid 60s didn't get it cool enough at night for our preference. That said, the cabin is built such that not a ton of direct sunlight gets in, so it doesn't get too oppressive even on hot days. The cabin is on solar power, so they do ask that you are considerate of energy usage. There was no shortage of sunlight during our stay, so we didn't have any problems with this despite leaving a light on all night for the kid. Marijo and Dean are both very nice and friendly, not that we needed much from them during our stay. I would love to stay here again, but maybe not during the hottest week of the year!!
