Thank you for providing such a comfortable, homey atmosphere with everything we would need on our stay here!!"

We were able to bike out the front door and quickly hook up with the old carriage paths, now bicycling trails.

We hope to return soon.”

Thank you for such a fun-filled vacation hideaway!"

"My wife and I spent last week at the Acadia Getaway Cabin, and we loved it! It is the perfect size for a couple, and it had everything we needed. We really enjoyed opening up all of the doors and windows (there are very nice screens) to feel the breeze, which is a great way to spend the evening after hiking all day. The cabin is conveniently located near the park (maybe a five minute drive to the Cadillac Mountain entrance), and there are entrances to the carriage roads even closer! Beyond the cabin, the caretakers are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!"

--Sam, Newark, Delaware

"Your cabin is WONDERFUL!!!! Mount Desert Island is beautiful!!!! And we have had a great time!!!!  It would take years to see/do/explore everything.  But we drove, flew, boated and tried to do something new every hour of every day.  Then we could retreat to "our" cabin in the woods.  Thanks for sharing your retreat.  We enjoyed every minute of it."

-- Carol and Larry from Kansas 

 

"Thanks for sharing your lovely, cozy cabin with us! We met the red squirrel on the first day and enjoyed his daily visits. The location was perfect for all the things we wanted to do. We really relaxed! At least it will be easier to leave tomorrow in the rain."

 -- Barry & Margie, West Chester, PA

"Thank you for letting us use your adorable cabin! We love it here and can’t wait to come back. The books in the basket were helpful for landmarks and history along the way."

-- Becky & Jay, Philly, PA

"The cabin was perfect! If you're looking for a place to stay that's cozy, comfortable, plenty big enough for two people, and virtually right in the park this is it. The Getaway Cabin was exactly what my wife and I wanted for a week-long anniversay getaway in the woods. It was peaceful at night and gorgeous with the sunrise. The caretakers and owners were friendly and responsive if you needed them but you felt like you were blissfully alone in the wilderness. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to have their own little piece of nature for a moment."

 -- Chris from NJ

We also loved cooking dinner on the grill and cooked up some local clams on the hotplate! Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing stay and hope we'll be back in future years with out little one."

 -- Meredith & Adam, Brooklyn, NY

"This was our first time to Maine and we were lucky to have this cabin as our home away from home! ...at the end, a quiet lazy day by the fire will become one our fondest memories. The cabin will hold a special place in our hearts, as it was the home we shared after our engagement  on Cadillac Mountain at sunrise on the first day of Fall. ❤"

The cabin is full of rustic character and everything you need to enjoy yourself and just relax."

 -- Kristen from NYC

"We had a great time and the cabin provided us with everything we needed. It is very close to many hiking trails and Bar Harbor (maybe 4 minutes by car). You have privacy and are surrounded by the forest which we enjoyed a lot. I would definitely recommend this cabin!"

"Great little getaway for our “Mainecation” would definitely recommend!!"

 -- Albert from Washington Township, NJ

"This was a fantastic stay during our honeymoon!! The cabin is exactly as described and we thought it was delightful, very well located, had a good variety of books and books, etc. We truly enjoyed waking up to green views and having coffee in front of the fireplace or deck. We’d absolutely stay again to befriend the little red squirrel and rude the carriage roads just minutes away."

 -- Brian from Charlottesville, VA

"Highly recommend this very cool, simple cabin. Super comfy and still just a little rustic. Super close to Acadia National Park entrance, and Eagle Lake and access to Carriage Roads is like a 2 minute drive down the road from the place - fantastic location. Bar Harbor was very quaint as well, and only about a 10 minute drive. Ideal central location to get to all points on Mt. Desert Island. Thanks for sharing your place!"
