Northeast Roadtrip
We stopped in BH on the first leg of our roadtrip. The cabin was nice and pictures were accurate. The beds were comfortable and it was the perfect spot to come back to after a day of exploring. The owners were nice and responsive with any questions we had. In the binder they had put some good tips for sight seeing. We drove out to see the sunrise at Thunder Hole after not being able to get a reservation at Cadillac Mountain. It was gorgeous, I’m so glad they had that listed or we would have missed out on the sunrise completely!

Perfect Maine Getaway
Our family absolutely loved staying at this cabin. It was extremely clean and had all the essentials necessary for an "at home" experience. The view from the porch is priceless, and the kayaks made for peaceful paddling on the pond. We especially enjoyed being away from the crowded roads in the larger towns, and access to Acadia National Park was easy to navigate from this home. The home is larger than the pictures portray and sleeping accommodations were more than ample for a family of 4 adults. The cabin has a coffee maker even though it was not mentioned in the amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

Acadia vacation home
Lovely little camp. Perfect size for four adults, with plenty of room and privacy inside and out. The place was very clean and well appointed (could use bbq bricks for grill, though).
View of the pond and all the pines was great, even saw an eagle.
Made use of the kayaks a few times, and enjoyed the deck and grill.
Nice and quiet area with an easy commute to all the island has to offer.
Thank you for the opportunity to rent your home, we would absolutely rent it again.

Peaceful cabin close to Acadia
We were looking for a place away from the crowds that still allowed us to easily visit Acadia National Park. This was the perfect place. We had one free afternoon where we were able to take the kayaks out on the water. My only regret is that we didn't have one more free day to enjoy our time here a little bit more!

What more could you ask for
My husband and I loved staying at this property. The cabin was very nicely done. I read in prior reviews that it was well stocked. They were not kidding. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook a meal. There were tons of blankets, sheets, and towels in closets. Detergent and dryer sheets for laundry. There was a nice local IGA market that was handy. It was close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The view from the back deck was beautiful. We didn’t get to use the boats and kayaks provided because we were out exploring and hiking till dark and came back to eat and crash. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Tranquil and lovely
For some reason the photos online did not do this cottage justice. It was so lovely. The set up was perfect. Loved the location. We took the canoe out on the pond which was so nice. The cottage was well stocked. Would absolutely come back. Perfect for exploring Acadia but getting away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Google maps doesn’t quite get you there so be on the lookout for the Hogdon Pond sign and follow it to the first right.

We enjoyed our stay
The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen had lots of utensils and it was reasonably close to Arcadia National Park which we visited almost every day we were there. We brought our own life jackets for the kayak, but they were already in the storage box by the pond which was nice. We will be recommending this property to our friends.. Thank you for a lovely stay!
