We had an absolutely amazing stay in early June! We were able to enjoy paddling out on the pond, relaxing to the sounds of the frogs at night, and beautiful 65 degrees, sunny weather every day! We hope to go back soon - the cabin was just perfect!

My husband and I were so thrilled to spend our visit to MDI at such a lovely home. The first day we saw a loon off of the deck. We enjoyed the space so much and hope to return again soon.

We had the most lovely stay at the cabin, tucked away in the woods and right on the water—it was incredible! The photos did not do it justice. We loved the kayaks, row boats, and canoe boat and we had such a wonderful time. We can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was cozy and the setting was beautiful. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in nature and just a 15 min drive to an active downtown (Bar Harbor).

My husband and I stayed here and loved the boathouse. It was so peaceful and had amazing views of the pond. It's in a great location close enough to downtown areas and hikes but far enough away that it was really tranquil. We also enjoyed staying in for the evening and eating dinner on the dock. The kayaks were also a great touch and we loved our morning paddle. Also, everything was clean, safe, and in working order. This is definitely a spot to return to.

This is a wonderful rental! Very clean and in a beautiful location out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Close to hiking trails and shopping. We had a wonderful time but ended up leaving a day early due to the Hurricane Lee. Would recommend this rental if you like a private and secluded area.
