My husband and I spent three nights over our anniversary at the cabin and had such a relaxing, fun time. Everything was just as pictured and great location. The cabin is very comfortable and short drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Lots to do in the area. We hope to return again.

We spent 8 nights at the Hobby Horse and found it more than met our expectations. We loved all of the woodwork, the pictures, the knick knacks and the ambiance. Coupled with modern wiring, a 4k tv, and strong internet it was brought into the modern world nicely!

Excellent location, a beautiful property. The kids loved going down to the beach everyday. Close proximity to all the wonderful things Maine has to offer in the area.

We were looking for a nice rustic cabin with privacy that had water access. The cabin was the perfecr place. Check in process was easy. Great location if you want a place that is private but still commutable to area attractions. The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 was the lack of ceiling fans in the bedrooms and even a window air conditioner would have been great. It was very humid during our stay so nights were a bit uncomfortable. Still loved the place.

Such a lovely cabin. The pictures don’t show off how cute this place is. The location is perfect. It’s calm around and Acadia and Bar Harbor aren’t that far away. The beach is only a few minute walk from the porch too.
Liberal we loved it would would definitely come back for future Acadia trips!

Husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary 30th. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and had microwave, coffee maker, as well as all the pans and dishes needed. Beach was a short walk away and fun to explore. Cool breeze from ocean was lovely in the evening.

Lovely Maine cottage. Quietly peaceful. Walked down to the lake each night to hear the loons. Easy, but busy, drive to Acadia National Park. Thank you.

Such a cute spot to stay. Surry, Maine is a quiet small town and our VRBO was nestled in a small cluster of homes right up against Contention Cove. Two minute walk to the beach, all the necessary amenities will definitely make this a place to come back to!

Even better than the listing! Well appointed with plenty of dishes and linens. Ocean access down the hill was wonderful. Great location for those going to Ellsworth and Acadia.

I was there for a month. The weather was chilly and rainy for my first week and a half so I had to rely on the space heater. The rest of the time the box fans helped with the humidity. A split system AC/ heat pump would be helpful, especially if you have allergies, as I do. The cottage had pretty much all one would need and help was available if needed.

Oh, how we loved this cabin! We have stayed at rental cabins all around the U.S. and this is one of the very best and a new favorite! We never met our hosts in person (which is fine), but we felt very well taken care of because the house is so welcoming, clean, and well stocked with everything we could possibly have needed during our week-long stay. We appreciated the super easy check-in/check-out process, the generous supplies provided by the host, and the incredible, private, charming location. The cabin is tucked away in a cute hillside, wooded neighborhood in Contention Cove and was easy to find with GPS. We loved every single detail about the cabin; it’s so charming and homey. We had our dog with us, and enjoyed walking along the quiet gravel roads in the neighborhood and down to the beach. (The path is well-maintained but a little steep for folks who are not so steady on their feet; just take it slow. My 80-year-old mother made it down there, just going very carefully and using a walking stick for extra balance.) It was easy to open up several windows in the cabin for some fresh forest air at night and we did not have any problem sleeping comfortably without air-conditioning. The shower was hot, the beds were comfortable, and the full kitchen was well-stocked. Pretty much, everything was perfect about our stay. The only problem was that we eventually had to leave! :) Thank you kindly to the Caddoo family for sharing this wonderful family summer home with us!

We loved this cabin. It was a rustic, simple, quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing. We would go all day touring and then come back and relax in this quiet atmosphere. It was very clean and accommodating. The host even brought us some farm fresh eggs.

We were very happy with the Hobby Horse. The place is as described, and Cheri left a number of excellent recommendations for area restaurants. Would stay here again.

My family was visiting Maine for the first time and Hobby Horse was the perfect location for our getaway. We enjoyed our time at the cabin just as much as being out. The beach access was fun to explore at low tide. The whole place was plenty big for the theee of us. We had windows opened at night as it was warm during the way, but with fans we slept great. The pictures don't do this listing justice, it's is very quaint and nice!

What a great stay!
Cabin had a rustic feel with nice modern amenities like wifi full fridge and small gas stove/oven. It was Very neat and clean. The property had a gas grill and picinic table out front.
Easy access to main road and only 15 min to Walmart and 30-45 to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like a quiet place to escape to after exploring all this area has to offer!

This is the second time we stayed at the Hobby Horse and we will definitely come back. The location is A+ with access to a beautiful private beach. The cottage has a lot of character with plenty of towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and wonderful hang out spots (our favorite is breakfast on the porch). Highly highly recommended.

We had a great time at Hobby Horse house. The added great room is nice and comfortable. Kitchen is stocked and clean appliances. Used the box fans to cool bedroom’s. Access to the beach to launch our Kayak is great, we left our kayak on the beach without any issues.. Dog friendly a bid plus, she also had a great time. Thanks for your attention to detail.

The cabin is very cozy and clean. It is really well-maintained. Everything you need is there. The only not-very-pleasant experience was meeting the owner. We were late checking out. It was totally my fault because I thought it was at 11am (but it was at 10am) and the owner was a bit rude about that. May be she was in a bad mood this morning. Otherwise, we had a fabulous stay!

The hosts of Hobby Horse have equipped the cabin with everything you need and then some. It is very comfortable, homey and clean. It is centrally located for sightseeing trips throughout the area and tucked away for much needed peace and quiet. Highly recommend this cabin for your vacation.

This cottage was very clean and had everything you could need. It was a 30 mile drive to Acadia National park which we drove every day. A short walk down the path to the ocean each night to watch the sunset.

Hobby Horse Review
We loved the charming cabin, the short walk to the beach, the quiet, and the proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Despite the hot weather, the cabin stayed cool. The bedrooms were very well furnished and the master bed itself was really comfy- firm mattress which was great for my back. All in all, this was a wonderful getaway for a relaxing vacation. We will definitely come back! Thank you!

Rustic Cabin Getaway
My sister, roommate, and I loved our stay at Hobby Horse! It was a great location for visiting Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Castine. We all loved walking the quiet beach in the evenings. We were able to observe sea stars, crabs, snails, and hermit crabs along the shore! The kitchen was also well stocked with everything we needed for simple meals. Cheri was very communicative throughout the process.

Beautiful house!
This was a beautiful house, I do not think the pictures do it justice! We had a beautiful stay with a quick little walk to the beach. The house has everything you could need for a little get away! Amazing time!

Review
Very clean, nice location, kitchen was well supplied for cooking family meals.
Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Only drawback was an extremely worn out bed. Woke up to a sore back every day.
Would have given 5 stars overall if not for that.

Perfect homey cabin
We loved the cabin during our 7 days staying here. Pictures don’t do the place justice, as it’s much more homey and cozy than it looks. Place was perfect for having 2 kids, they got their own room. The cabin itself is like stepping back in time, everything feels vintage in a great way. We were able to walk to the water, and look for shells during low tide. Only a few little things to note when booking. It is a drive to get to Acadia/Bar Harbor (30-45min). We didn’t mind, and basically just went out to Acadia once a day, and crashed when we got back. There’s no heating or AC. Was not a problem for us, since the weather was perfect for open windows, but something to be aware of. The master bed is very soft, which was fine for me, but terrible for my wife with a bad back. Everything else was perfect and beyond our expectations, especially considering the price. We would definitely stay here again!

Third Time Back!
Once again, the Hobby Horse met and exceeded our expectations. We lucked out with perfect weather, including a long rain storm during the week, where we experienced the sound of rain on the metal roof! So neat. My partner and I cannot express enough gratitude for the soft touches the cabin provides, along with the solitude of Surry. We can't wait to return.

Perfect home base for vacationing in the area
Great little spot that puts you close to Acadia, Deer Isle, Castine and Bangor. While it is not water front it does have access to a lovely private beach. The house is quite rustic but has all you need for a home base. The hosts were very responsive. It was just my husband and But would be great, economical spot for a young family.
