Adorable tiny home cabin! Perfect spot because you can get to so many things. Peepers and the fire crackling at night, along with hiking around Acadia National Park, made this a perfect experience. So glad to get away from reality for a couple days and just enjoy nature and good company. ##### Payton A.

It is a nice little place for visiting the Acadia National Park area. It also has a very good sitting area outside and the hosts are very helpful and welcoming! The only issue is that the door opening to the bathroom is very low (I'm 6'2 and hit my head multiple times on the top of the door frame), and the shower is very small. The home is exactly as advertised and a great place to stay, but wanted any other "taller" people to be aware before booking. ##### Adam P.

Absolutely everything you would want or need was provided by the hosts. Never had a single problem. Saw some deer visiting the property. It was a very comfortable and quiet stay just as we had wanted. ##### Rick M.

Very efficient and comfy! We cooked, used the grill, and the fire pit for s’mores. We also rode the 3 bikes and took the cooler with us for our drinks. Perfect place for two peeps but we were fine with our 23 year old daughter on the sleep sofa! Highly recommend! Our hosts thought of everything. Their attention was in the details!

It is very cozy inside and out. The bedroom, in particular, is nice and cozy and a great retreat after a long day of hiking. The kitchen is also very well equipped, and we were able to cook great meals. There are little signs everywhere explaining how everything works. That was very helpful. The selection of books and games is also great. Outside, there are nice seating areas and a fire pit. If you look out of the window early, there is a chance to see wildlife. We saw deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, and many different birds. It is simply beautiful there and very relaxing. We hiked the suggested trails and were very impressed by the diversity and beauty of nature. ##### Ellen Z.

It was far enough away from the business of Bar Harbor but close enough that we could drive over quickly and eat, shop, and do touristy things. The cabin was cozy and relaxing. So many great hiking trails around. The food recommendations from the owner were spot on! The wildlife around the cabin were fun to watch! We saw a lot of deer and wild turkeys. ##### Sandra S.

Fresh flowers, a note, some sweet treats AND a bucket of ready-made ice- what more could one ask for on arrival?Perhaps some poems? Very cozy place with all the amenities needed. Front porch was a wonderful extension of the space. Bed was super comfortable. Sleeper couch was perfect (no dang bar). We explored the quiet side of Acadia and especially enjoyed the use of the provided paddle boards on Long Lake. Our last morning we woke up at 3am to hike Cadillac Mtn. Visit was too short - need to book again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97dd7119-ada7-41f3-94ed-f1b3abbf51ab-1755447426892.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/213dc9c7-1925-41d2-a673-7ff073a98912-1755447426543.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9a89209a-0048-4a94-835d-0a65dad53940-1755447427490.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cori C.

The cabin was adorable, clean and cozy. It's even nicely decorated outside so you're charmed at first sight. The owners were fantastic and responsive, even when I arrived late at night, and provided a detailed guide to the area, tips and recommendations, as well as a heads up on a local event that affected local roads/travel. I only wish I could have stayed longer! If I return to the area, Poet's Cabin will be my first pick. ##### Elizabeth W.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carra and Sean to stay at Poet's Cabin and the Southwest Harbor Hideaway House (house next door) for our small wedding. It was absolutely perfect! We could not have asked for better hosts! Wow, the little touches to make our stay special were above and beyond and we are so thankful! This cabin is in a nice location close to downtown and was perfect for the two of us to stay after the wedding was over. The steps are quite steep so be aware if you have issues with stairs. We would stay again! ##### Catelin G.

I booked this property 7 months before the trip & have been looking forward to this stay since! Poet’s Cabin is such a beautiful little A-Frame for a cozy weekend exploring Acadia! We thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful details, board games, hiking guide, and fire pit! The kitchen has everything we needed to cook dinner for 2 nights. The bed was perfect - tip: the stairs are a bit steep because it’s an A-Frame, I went up & down the stairs sideways for extra caution. We cannot wait to come back for another stay! Thank you, Carra & Sean!! ##### Gwen Wiscount W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie P. 6 Aug 2025 ##### Marie P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ---
