We watched the sunrise each morning, pleasantly surprised by eagles flying past the deck and cautiously passing deer drive in most evenings. The rustic cabin with modern conveniences offered solitude, yet close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Southwest Harbor. Hadly Point Beach around the corner is a hidden gem for sunsets and star gazing.

We had everything we needed and loved being a part of the Maine’s woods and cove experience. Peter is a fantastic host and communicator.

The location on the water with access to a tidal flat provided amazing views. Our group had so much fun harvesting mussels right outside and cooking them ourselves. Clean and cozy interior. Only notes would be the skylights in each room do not have shades to shield you from waking up at 5am to the sunrise, and the driveway required 4 wheel drive on our truck to navigate the steepness and loose gravel ##### Alaine K.

The proximity to everything MDI has to offer can’t be beat. Rev Peter has provided a nice compilation of favorite restaurants, hikes, markets, etc that we referenced daily. We especially enjoyed the restaurants Havana and Ironboard, based on his recommendations. The cottage itself is well equipped, which made eating in easy and enjoyable. We booked the birch cottage so that we would have something pretty to look at while our toddler napped in the afternoons. The views at this property far exceeded our expectations. This is truly a gem of a property. We hope to visit again next year. ##### Jolene S.

Loved Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Salsbury Cove/Birch Chalet was perfect, we had beautiful sunrises every morning. A nature lovers in delight, we were greeted by a deer on our way down the driveway. Saw all kinds of birds, seagulls, loons, woodpeckers and even a bald eagle. Had a hummingbird fly around us on the deck. Saw otters in the morning, loved the sound of the waves crashing and watching the tides change! Peter was a fantastic host, he had everything available that you could possibly want. The area was very peaceful, chalet was very cozy. Location was easy to get around the whole island, lots of great restaurants if you didn't want to cook. Would definitely come back. We would highly recommend this place. ##### Joanne S.

Peter's beautiful cabin was the perfect launching point for us for visiting Acadia and the surrounding area. The view out the living room/kitchen and on the deck is simply amazing. The sunrises were spectacular and the sound of waterfowl was everywhere all the time. I saw a bald eagle fly right by the house. We also saw harbor porpoises, seals, kingfishers, herons, and other waterfowl we don't even know out on the water. The location is very very good. You are not far from Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Southwest Harbor at all. We hiked all over Acadia and enjoyed the scenery. We also enjoyed the local stuff nearby including Mainely Meat, Udder Heaven (incredible ice cream), and putt-putt. Peter was a great host as well. He was very responsive and even helped me recover an important item that I left behind!!! Hope to be back one day!! ##### Matt H.

The caretaker and the owner were open for communication even months prior to our stay. Every question I had was answered, every amenity I needed was available. 15 min from BH and Acadia, stunning views in the morning, noon and night, five minutes from a lobster pound and ten minutes from the airport….This cabin is a hidden gem and I’m hesitant to hype it up so much, because I want it to be available when I need it again! Haha! The cabin was so well taken care of and the kitchen had everything I could need…I’d live here if I could. The cabin made the vacation, trust me. I’d choose Salsbury Cove’s Birch Chalet over any hotel, any bed and breakfast, any time, any day. 10/10, I’m already looking into when I can come back. And that complimentary bottle of blueberry jam?! I already ordered a case of it from Maine. I’m hooked. Thanks Peter!!! ##### Rebekah S.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin in the woods that is so convenient to so many things to do. The views from the cabin are wonderful and the pictures don’t do it justice. Owner was great! ##### Jane H. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Laurie R. 3 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views! The property was clean and easy to access, the host was great and wanted to make sure we were happy. The property was rustic but clean. The kitchen had everything you needed. ##### Laurie R.
