The cabin was perfect. Beautiful, stylish and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. The island is lovely and easily explored. Joanne and Paul are fabulous hosts. We enjoyed delicious breakfast treats each morning and Paul delivered lobsters for our enjoyment. It was truly a wonderful experience!

We had an amazing time staying at this tiny cabin! Very clean, well stocked, and everything you could possibly need. We left the island everyday in the ferry to explore Acadia and other nearby areas and then spent mornings and evenings on Little Cranberry Island. AC works wonderful for the hot muggy days. The morning treats that Joanne made every morning were always a yummy treat! Super nice and responsive hosts, would definitely stay again if in the area!! It is a little piece of Paradise to stay here!! The only suggestion that would make it over the top, is bikes to use while staying on the island!

This cabin was perfect for our vacation in Maine! After doing activities during the day it was so nice to have this quiet peaceful cabin to come back to and relax. It had everything we needed and we couldn’t ask for better hosts! Joanne is awesome and goes out of her way to make sure things are good for you. The morning treats were fabulous! We really enjoyed the ferry rides everyday. We met a lot of nice people!

Our time at the Islesford Cabin was outstanding! Paul & Joanne are very gracious, generous hosts and attended to every little detail, including suggestions for travel and getting to the island, catching the ferry, and of course, delicious breakfast treats every morning! The cabin is well supplied for two, and we were able to cook a couple of meals "in" as well as visit the local Dock Restaurant. We enjoyed the quiet of the small island, and look forward to visiting again in the future. Thanks for a great trip!

Our Islesford Cottage stay was exactly what we wanted. The cottage is very well appointed with everything we needed for our eight day stay. It is incredibly relaxing and peaceful. Joanne and Paul are awesome hosts and go above and beyond in everything they do. From the moment they picked us up at the dock until they dropped us off they make sure everything is perfect. The morning treats and surprises start every day off with a smile. The lobsters they provided right off Paul's lobster boat were fantastic. We really enjoyed discovering the history and meeting many residents of Islesford and Great Cranberry Island by taking advantage of the easy ferry back and forth. Everyone is very proud of their island and happy to talk about their experiences and lifestyle. Overall, our visit was awesome and everything we hoped for.

I almost hate to write this because I want this to stay hidden but I know that's not possible :). We had the most amazing time at "the cabin in the woods" . We did a "half work-half vacation" on the island so we needed to have really internet which we did. It was great for streaming video calls etc. The cabin itself has all the amenities to make you super comfortable. Joanne and Paul set you up with everything you need to make you comfortable and do a great job of communicating everything you need to get to the island. Everyone talks about the "goodies" that Joanne bakes and brings every morning to the cabin and they are sooo good. They are the best hosts I have ever seen and you will want to sit down and chat with them. Good people! If you forget to bring something to the island, the little general store at the dock may have it for a reasonable price. The island restaurant has great food and the locals are super friendly. 25 minute ferry trips back and forth to the mainland give you easy access to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor or some of the other islands. We are already planning on when we can get back out there again. We loved it!

This is the perfect place for a couple who want a quiet getaway that is close to Acadia. Joanne and Paul are fantastic hosts who are close by and ready to help with anything. They have lived, worked and raised a family on Little Cranberry Island, and are a wealth of information and suggestions. Their cabin is beautiful and comfortable.

We had such a fabulous time!! Joanne and Paul were so accommodating and hospitable. The cabin was very clean and cozy. Would recommend this place to anyone!

We had an amazing stay. Paul and Joanne were so friendly and helpful. We could not have asked for better hosts. It was the perfect getaway.

Our Hosts, Joanne and Paul, their charming cabin, Joanne’s morning goodies, Paul’s lobsters, the welcoming and friendly people of the island and the beautiful spot, all made for memories to last a lifetime! Thanks, Joanne and Paul! ❤️

Awesome stay! Joanne and Paul were amazing hosts. Joanne bakes like no one else and Paul is a hard working Lobsterman and aspiring salesman.. lol! You couldn't ask for better people and hosts. This was our first ever trip to Maine and hope to go back one day. But we have plans to go to other areas of the country.

JoAnne & Paul made our trip to Isleford one we will never forget. They are both wonderful people we will never forget. Hospitality akin to days of old. We hope to return to this island paradise in the future. The cabin was perfect for our 25 Anniversary with short walks to beautiful scenic beaches. The ferry boat ride to the island offers great views of surrounding islands and a great value as well. So much more - book it, you wont regret it! PS- JoAnee makes awesome goodies each morning for her guests :)

The entire experience was amazing. From the private island, beautiful and peaceful beaches, the fun ferry ride, meeting the locals, Joanne's morning treats, and Paul's Lobsters! We loved visiting Acadia NP and loved the cooler weather! The only thing that was a little challenging was walking down the spiral stair case at night to use the bathroom after being sore from hiking all day. But no injuries and we were careful.

We highly recommend staying at this cabin! The Thormanns are wonderful hosts. Joanne has made the cabin feel so homey. She also makes delicious treats every morning. This is a relaxing place to return to after a day trip. Exploring the island was fun!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Joanne and Paul’s cabin - a completely unique experience! We got to see how the “regular people” of Little Cranberry live and experience the true natural beauty of this area. Conveniences of Mount Desert Island were just a short and easy ferry ride away, and we are glad that we got to get “get away from it all” at this cabin. Also, the daily breakfasts were amazing and such a treat! Highly recommend.

Our cabin on Little Cranberry Island was the perfect get-away for two! The cabin was so clean and so tastefully decorated and comfortable. Joanne provided us fabulous breakfasts every morning! Absolutely delicious. Both she and Paul are wonderful and knowledgeable hosts and made our stay so easy and welcoming. We loved the adventure of life on an island for a week and the peace and solitude it provided. Beautiful island, beautiful views and a fun ride to and from the Northeast Harbor every day. A great way to relax and spending a week hiking and biking in one of our favorite National Parks, Acadia. Would highly recommend a stay in Joanne and Paul's beautiful cabin. Excellent hosts! Paul even provided fresh lobster for us one evening! Delicious. A week we will never forget!

Joann and Paul are truly wonderful hosts! The attention to detail in the cabin made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. Joann has thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay! And the breakfast treats were truly amazing - we loved enjoying them while sitting on the porch with coffee in the morning. We spent a few days taking the morning ferry to Acadia for some hiking and also spent a couple of days exploring Little Cranberry Island, eating at the Islesford Dock Restaurant (the clam chowder was especially delicious) and just relaxing in the beautiful cabin. We definitely hope to visit again - once is not enough!!

Have you ever wanted to stay in a magical cottage/cabin in the woods? Perhaps on an island, like in a fairy tale or cheesy romance novel. This is it, but better. Romantic and relaxing all day long. The space is quaint and perfectly utilized. The decor is charming and tasteful. The entire place is clean, comfortable, well organized and has all the amenities including Wi-Fi. Joanne is an absolute delight. Easy to communicate with, knowledgeable about the area and she made great recommendations for padding and other day trips off island. Best of all THE TREATS! We took to referring to her as “the treat goddess”. She leaves the most delicious things for you, perfectly plated and then, seemingly evaporates into thin air afterword. (I did manage to catch her once.) The island is beautiful, everything is within walking distance. Sunsets on the docks are amazing. The mail boat runs like clockwork. Hands down the best coastal Maine experience you could ever ask for. We will be returning.

Joanne and Paul’s cabin is the perfect place for a quiet retreat. The cabin is clean and offers all the amenities required for a stress free visit to Little Cranberry Island. The home made morning treats were delicious and something we looked forward to each day. The lobsters that were provided were the best we ever had and Joanne could not have been a more accommodating host. We definitely plan on returning.

Truly once in a lifetime vacation! This little “cabin in the woods” was appointed with everything you could need! Our hosts were accommodating and fantastic! Homemade breakfast delivery every morning and they were delicious! Lobster “right off the boat” and a sense we were staying with friends! Joanne even helped pack us lobster to take home! Five stars just aren’t enough!

The Cabin was perfection. Everything was exactly as it appeared in the photos: immaculate, cozy, and filled with care and charm. Joanne and Paul are exceptional hosts; they truly care about the comfort and happiness of their guests. The information packet Joanne sent before the stay was welcoming and extremely helpful, and she made all aspects of arriving at the island easy. Joanne's baking is sublime. She created incredible breakfasts and we loved opening the door to see what amazing treats awaited us. We will truly miss being at the Cabin and cannot wait to return next summer. We are grateful to have found this gem!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Joanna and Paul. They were exceptional hosts; in communication leading up to the trip so that we could ask any questions, there to meet us at the ferry the moment we arrived, and were so accommodating and ready to help with anything throughout our stay. Plus, Joanne's morning treats were incredible. The cabin was such a cute, cozy place to stay, and it had everything a traveler would need to feel right at home. The island itself is light on restaurants/stores (although we had a lovely dinner at Isleford Dock), so we planned to do some of our own cooking when we were not visiting off-island locations, and the cabin was perfectly set up for that. The loft bedroom was adorable, and no kidding, the bed was insanely comfortable. We had a nice time walking around and exploring the island during the day (bring bug spray, though!), and it was super easy to jet off to Bar Harbor. Overall, an AMAZING stay, and we can't wait to visit again.

Do yourself a favor and book this place if you can! The cabin is the pefect getaway spot. From the fresh breakfast pastries every morning that Joanne would bring to the lobster at night, she made sure all our needs were met. It is a very nice place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of Mount Desert Island or Acadia National Park. The cabin is very clean and tidy and makes you feel at home as soon as you step inside. Overall this is an excellent place to stay.

One of the best vacations yet - the cabin is just darling - the location is magical and the hosts are fabulous! Acadia is stunning yet we looked forward each day returning home to the cabin. Hope to return one day!

When booking our mini honeymoon me never could have imagined how magical of a place this could be. The cabin so simple yet warm and cozy, it truly felt like home. It was very comfortable and full of all the necessities. From the appliances to the lovely decor, we never found ourselves in need of anything more. Both Joanne and Paul were helpful from the time of booking until we boarded the ferry the final time. We woke with anticipation each morning to see what delicious pastry Joanne left us on our front porch. In the evening we enjoyed the best lobsters, ever, straight from Paul’s boat. The island was amazing. The rocky beach was a short walk from the cabin. We often found ourselves alone on the beach scouring for a little treasures. The people of the island were so friendly. We visited Acadia while vacationing, but decided staying on the island was even more enjoyable. This was an experience of a lifetime. The island was a hidden gem and the cabin was the true treasure. The time we spent here will stay with us always.

What wonderful hosts Joanne and Paul are! From the moment we booked the trip back in August, they were there for us with answers for any questions we had. The cabin is exactly what you picture it to be from the ones provided! Such a beautiful space that is beautiful, clean, and you can tell it was built with so much love. The little village of Islesford is so sweet and quaint you would never want to leave. Joanne’s daily treats kept us on our toes wondering what we were going to get each morning. This cabin is the perfect place to stay for a couple wanting something alone time and time to explore the outdoors. The excellent hospitality of Joanne and Paul was truly the Cherry on top! They made you feel comfortable and right at home. I would recommend this place to my friends and family!

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary stay on Little Cranberry! Joanne and Paul were fantastic hosts. From check in to check out Joanne was there to answer any of our questions. You can tell that they truly care about the experience that their guests have. It was hard coming back home!

This is the perfect island retreat. It’s clean, comfortable, rustic with all the amenities you’d want or need, a short, pleasant walk from the most beautiful beach on Little Cranberry, which we visited everyday. We loved Joanne!! She was the most welcoming host you can imagine - making us feel at home in the cabin and on the island, giving us recommendations for special walks and hikes, and spoiling us with her delectable culinary treats. Everyday we felt more and more like her personal guests. After one of the most difficult years on record, we felt so lucky to be there. Everything was a pure delight. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you so much!!

This little cabin on Islesford is the most perfect get away! It is rustic and simple yet comes with all the modern amenities You could want. Close to a beautiful beach. People are friendly and warm on the island. Ferry ride is beautiful. The best part of the stay are the amazing hosts! They go above and beyond to take care of any need and point you in the right direction. Joanne’s morning pastries and Paul’s fresh lobster catch were an amazing treat that kept us begging for more! The cabin in Islesford will give you a memory to cherish.
