Bar Harbor Cabin | Cabin with ocean views, minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor

2 Bedroom Cabin in Bar Harbor

Location:
TheGuest House is located on the north coast of Mount Desert Island overlooking Frenchman Bay. The cabin is just 7 minutes (2.5 miles) from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and 13 minutes (5 miles) from Bar Harbor. There are fun and safe bicycle routes to both the park and town.
This cabin enjoys beautiful views and is about 50 yards from the communal cliffside deck with a picnic table overlooking Frenchman Bay. From here, you can enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, watch lobster boats working the bay in the morning, and often see seabirds diving for fish. On occasion, guests spot dolphins or seals in the bay, and sometimes even a bald eagle passing overhead. It’s a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, relax with a glass of wine in the evening, or have a peaceful picnic lunch while taking in the scenery.
From the wall of windows across the front of the cabin, you look out through tall pines to Frenchman Bay below. The view includes the water, the neighboring shoreline and cottage, and the ever-changing activity on the bay. The trees frame the scene beautifully, giving you a sense of being tucked into the woods while still enjoying clear glimpses of the water beyond. In the evening, the light over the bay filters through the branches, creating a warm, peaceful atmosphere that makes the living room a perfect place to relax and take it all in.
A Note About the Cabin (Important):
The Guest House is a rustic, uninsulated cabin. If it gets chilly outside, it will get chilly inside by morning. The wood stove provides excellent heat, and we also supply two space heaters and electric blankets to keep you comfortable.

It’s an ideal spot for couples or families, and pets are welcome. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to bring them along.

Review Score:   10
Summary: Just as described in listing. Nice spot, close to town but far enough out to be private. Cabin is older but well maintained and cozy with a fire going in the wood stove.The cabin is a nice reminder of simpler times.
