After the crowds in Bar Harbor and Acadia, this was a very peaceful place to relax. We spent a lot of time sitting on the deck, drinking wine and enjoying the view. The no frills cabin was cozy with a comfortable bed, and no tv (which I thought a bonus).

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the solitude and proximity to echo beach . Hiked some shorter trails on same side of Acadia. Enjoyed carriage trails though I wouldn't recommend parking at north haddock pond and riding to eagle lake-. Too many hills. But was beautiful none the less. I would recommend using island explorer. We did on our last day and were disappointed we didn't use it more.

Was the perfect cabin for the three of us. Had everything we needed - washer/dryer, dishwasher, beautiful view of the cove on a private lot. Ben was great to deal with - very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Cabin was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Rustic but had all the things we needed (washer, dryer, dishwasher) to make for a very comfy stay. Mosquitos were fierce which made the deck tricky, but we watched several sunsets from the beautiful pier. Great location for tons of Acadia park activities. Quietside Snacks take-out was delicious. Ben was very quick and responsive with questions before our arrival.

Cabin has everything you would need: full kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, 2 fans for warm days, 2 heaters for chilly nights. All dishes, pots, pans, towels, sheets etc. Plenty of electrical outlets, desk if you need to work, wi-fi. Big kitchen table, comfy couch, both facing the fabulous view. Sleeps 5 (in 2 double beds and one single upper bunk). (You don't need TV because the view of the bay through the mostly-glass front wall is fantastic, and you don't need a/c because there are screen doors on three sides and two fans in case there isn't a breeze.)

We loved our stay. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for the week. The property was beautiful, can't say enough nice things!

Everything was lovely and as expected, but entirely too many mosquitoes to enjoy being outside, which was what we desired

My review is mostly positive: The cabin was cozy, comfortable, and well-stocked. It was also nice and clean. The hosts were responsive and personable. I enjoyed the water view. The internet wifi was terrific and we had a decent Verizon Wireless cell phone signal. Not so great: The seaside dock was high up from the water and blocked off halfway down, making it useless. Also, there was no floating dock to launch kayaks, etc. If you want a campfire, you'll need to do it down at the shoreline. Bring a cart to lug things, as it's a decent walk down there. If you hate mosquitoes or have any physical handicaps, this cabin is too rustic. The deck has a LOT of sun exposure, which heats up the cabin during the day. (There were lots of box fans, which I appreciated.) You'll need to bring your own patio umbrella for shade. While it wasn't the right fit for my me and my husband, most people will love this cabin.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We liked the privacy, the view, and proximity to the beach. Wifi also worked great for some last minute video conference calls.

The property is beautiful. Sitting on the deck or the beach each night, watching sunset, was a wonderful way to unwind every day after hiking. The wall of windows is perfect. We prefer the quiet side of the island, so the location was just what we wanted. It’s a small place with everything you need. The washer and dryer are very useful if you’re outdoors most of the time. Also – the place was immaculate when we arrived, and the owners were very attentive and great to work with.

This is a perfect place for a family vacation. It has everything you could possibly need without being over the top, making you feel like a local. The property is great, provides for lots of privacy and has a huge lawn for kids to run around. The area is called the 'Quietside' for good reason. It has lesser known towns that are incredibly charming but is still close to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor so you get the best of both worlds. The property is also close to Swan's Island which is what they don't tell you about when it comes to recommended itineraries in this area but is an absolute must. The cabin can get cold overnight in late summer but has perfectly warm blankets.We were surprised to find an extra sleeping alcove that was a highlight for the kids.

Communication with owner was pleasant and responsive. We had a few minor issues with WiFi password, once we got the correct password the WiFi signal very weak. Ended up using a hotspot from our phones. Property is not very close to water. Maybe 500 feet and grass/bushes obscure the view. In fact, it was somewhat foggy when we arrived and we had no idea how to walk to waterfront or way of knowing if we were on someone else’s property when heading toward ocean-there’s no path, map or clear way to beach. The waterfront is nice and shared with a house and another camp on the same property which we eventually figured out. Floating dock was not in place as pictured, which was disappointing because friends of ours were going to visit us via boat. Not the responsibility of the owner, but some of the worst mosquitos we’ve ever experienced-plan accordingly. Cabin is old and rough but near enough to the ocean. Side note, we found ourselves driving toward Acadia and Bar Harbor almost everyday. The is defiantly the quiet side of the island if that’s your thing.

The cottage is lovely. It’s quite small and cozy. We enjoyed walking the beach in the morning. We would recommend staying to our friends.

Great spot on the quiet side of MDI, close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Rustic cabin was a good home base, relaxing on the deck in the afternoon sun with a beer was the perfect way to end the day. private beach was great for shell and sea glass hunting or having a fire in the evening. the dog had great time on the beach, playing frisbee on the lawn and hiking the many nearby trails. directions and info regarding the cabin were straight forward. Overall a great get away!
