The good: 1. The view of the lake is great with really nice sunrises. 2. The host is the next house over and responds very quickly to questions and requests. 3. The sky lights in the bedrooms are a nice touch. Improvements: 1. The bedding and sheets are stained and need to be replaced. 2. The couch needs to be replaced. It seems really old and is not comfortable. 3. The cabin is aged and could use a freshen up throughout on the inside and out.

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!!

Great views and easy access to Acadia. Peter was very communicative and helpful.

Great location was able to do a lot without driving hours away

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.
