About this cabin rental

Enjoy a quiet, peaceful vacation in a secluded rustic original Lucerne-in-Maine cabin nestled among mature trees on the side of a mountain. Our cabin, built in 1929, has 2 bedrooms, a screened porch, a sun filled dining room, and, a 16x24 ft. deck, all overlooking scenic views of Phillips Lake and the surrounding mountains. You will enjoy the outdoors the entire time you spend at our cabin. We have provided almost all the amentities you will need; including all cooking utensils, linens, outdoor furniture, fire pit, propane or charcoal grill. Or, spend some quiet time in the cabin enjoying a fire in the granite fireplace.
When you venture out to explore Maine's beauty; you will be located 10 - 15 miles from Bangor / Brewer, Maine to the north & Ellsworth, Maine to the south; both of these areas have Super Walmart and any other possible ammenity you may need.
Further to the south (34 miles) is Bar Harbor, Maine; Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Or, take a drive down coastal Rt. 1, where you can stop at several roadside flea markets, antique shops, scenic views, and, restaurants along the way.
To the north is Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine where you will enjoy more scenic views. Moosehead Lake is 40 miles long where a ride on the 'Katadin' river boat is a wicked way to capture all the views including Mt. Kineo.
A short distance further to the north is Baxter State Park. This area is more than 20 sq. miles of forest to explore with scenic water falls, lakes, wildlife, and the magnificant Mt. Katahdin...the largest mountain in Maine.
I have lived in this area for over 20 years, and I have not been able to see everything Maine has to offer.
We have thought of almost everything! We supply some paper products to start your visit off. All you will need to bring is food to grill, your clothes, family, friends, and your toothbrush!
Come join us for an amazing, restful vacation; fulfilled with beautiful, peaceful scenic views of Maine. I believe you will come back again and again.
If there is anything we may have forgotten or something special you would need during your stay, please ask.

My husband and I stayed for a week to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Beautiful cabin in a great location. Close enough to some great restaurants and fantastic hiking, secluded enough to feel private. The owner was very responsive and quite friendly. If you’re looking for a luxury resort with tons of amenities, this isn’t the place for you. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway spot with everything you need, consider this cabin .

We recently spent 10 days at his cabin and while there were aspects of the trip that we appreciated, several significant issues marred our experience. Positives: good location, offering a charming appeal and a quiet atmosphere. The owner did respond fairly quickly to our concerns, although follow-ups sometimes required multiple attempts. Concerns: Cleanliness and Maintenance: Unfortunately, the cabin did not meet our expectations for cleanliness. There were wood scraps and other trash around the property, and we encountered a rodent problem with mice droppings present on most surfaces. We had to clean all surfaces ourselves before use, which was both time-consuming and unsettling. Lack of Welcome Information: There was no welcome packet or informational guide in the cabin, which would have been helpful for navigating the property's amenities and addressing issues like the power outages we experienced. Water: The water was non-potable, and drinking water would be supplied, which was mentioned on the website. The owner provided only a single gallon of water for our 10 day stay and we had to request additional supplies. Overall Experience: Despite the cabin's potential, the lack of attention to detail and unresolved issues significantly impacted our stay. We expected a cleaner environment, more responsive service, and better communication from the owner. Unfortunately, the reality did not align with these expectations.

My cousin and I needed a place to stay while visiting Acadia and this was perfect. I wanted my own room, a clean shower, a fire pit to cook on, and fresh mountain air. The cabin has basic amenities, great for a low maintenance stay.

We spent the weekend while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Quaint cabin but close to town. Enjoyed the firepit. Great for our dogs. My only constructive feedback is that the beds could have been more comfortable.

At the time I booked the property It was advertised with a fridge and oven. I arrived to find the property had no oven at all, and a dorm sized fridge. It was also advertised as having AC, but in reality It only had a single window unit in the living room that wasn’t even big enough to cool that room, let alone the bedrooms and the rest of the house. I messaged the property owner, and her response was just that it’s usually cold there and the property is rustic, and she changed the listing for future users. We had to throw away a bunch of food as there was no way to cook it, but found the trash was already full. It took the owner two days to empty it so we’d have someplace to put our trash in the meantime, mice got into the property ate through some of our soft shell luggage, and got into all the food that could not fit in the small bread box or dorm fridge. I would have rather stayed at a KOA campground in a tent where at least I’d have clean water and a cooler with me to store my food away from animals. Profoundly disappointed.

This is a fabulous cabin and the host is lovely and the check in process is great and location is great! That said, the kitchen is lacking and not quite as advertised. There was no oven. The fridge is a mini fridge which was very limiting. The stove top is really just a two burner hot plate which functions but is very slow. That said, for the rustic and wonderful location, it was just great!
