We had such a wonderful relaxing vacation at this Maine Cabin. Tucked away in dense woods and a tidal ocean view, located a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor this home offered us everything we could ask for in a Maine getaway. A few improvements on this cabin and we would give 5 stars. We plan to return again.

Hidden Gem

Celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday - 6 of us. Home is very spacious and allowed everyone/couple to have their own bedroom. Plus having a main floor bedroom was ideal for my husband who has a hard time with steps. The home is secluded-with rustic charm inside. Beautiful outdoor setting but a little hard to get near water as there is a drop off and steps/rocks unstable. Overall a very enjoyable experience with playing UNO and s’mores by the fire. Would definitely book this home again.

Hidden Gem

We found this hidden gem by chance when looking for a quiet oceanfront place to stay with our family and dog. Home was as advertised and we immediatwly wished we booked a third night. Clean, quiet and right at the waters edge.

Harbor Myst

The location was private and perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the fire pit. The house was very spacious and clean. The view was amazing and the deck was a great place to have our morning coffee. Vacasa communicated with us regularly to make sure everything was ok. We are already planning our return trip when we can spend a whole week!!

Plenty of room for our family. Nice location on the water. Very clean. The only thing was that the water pressure was very low; owner was able to get plumber to fix it which was great. Thank you!!

Beautiful Location

We rented this beautiful home for a girls trip. The property was very clean and spacious and we loved the screened porch dining area. The kitchen was well equipped with washer/dryer looked brand new. Coffee on the deck in the morning was lovely. It's very quiet and peaceful. We would rent again if we return to Maine. Property management was quick to respond if needed. So much better than a hotel!

Secluded Home on the Bay

Beautiful home with lots of space. Reasonably priced. Sit on the deck, walk on the beach, play games with your family, enjoy the firepit . . . Schoodic Peninsula is a short drive and it's not far to the rest of Acadia Park. Highly recommend!

Not really 4 bedrooms

First and most importantly, this is not truly a 4 bedroom house. The two twin beds are in a hallway type room leading into what is supposed to be the master. The ramifications here are that you have to walk through this "bedroom" to get to the bathroom. The property is also very dated and in very poor condition generally. There are outlet covers missing, the dishwasher is falling out, and the deck is falling apart. The walkway to the "beach" is overgrown and the stairs down are falling apart to the point of being dangerous. Bottom line is I've stayed in many rental houses and at this price point, this one does not even come close to measuring up.

Watch for seals frolicking from the deck

House was big and clean. Gorgeous property with million dollar views. Appreciated the attention to detail to make our stay so comfortable. While the drive was an hour to Bar Harbor, there were plenty of local hiking trails and beautiful scenery in Gouldsboro and nearby Schoodic Peninsula. Tracey’s Seafood drive up restaurant was a surprise treat for a delicious lobster roll.

Vacationland

This is coastal Maine at its finest with the most spectacular view. Harbor Myst is what Vacationland is all about. The homeowners made sure we were comfortable with all necessities. It's a great location, secluded from the business or Bar Harbor which is about an hour away. Great local restaurants. We found the local seafood, off the beaten path were excellent. Great place for kids. We will be coming back again!

Great views - house needs some updates

The location of this house is lovely. The views are great. The interior of the house was clean and spacious. The two big drawbacks were extremely low water pressure in the kitchen sink and showers plus an overflowing, smelly dumpster placed right next to the house. The stairs leading down to the water have no railing and could use a couple more steps, instead of the rocks that are placed beneath the existing stairs.

Great but...

Location, cleanliness, amenities were all a 10, but the downstairs bed was hard as a rock, and the others were so so. Comfortable beds are a must, Invest in some better bedding and this place would be a perfect 10. I would also suggest a queen sized bed for the downstairs bedroom. Otherwise we had a great vacation visiting Acadia and the surrounding area.

This place is a home run

We could not have been happier at this house. We stayed here for 3 nights and loved it. It’s quiet, surrounded by woods and on the water. There is a house 100 yards away that you can see, other than that it’s just you and nature. We used the firepit one night and kitchen two nights. We didn’t mind the drive 45 mins into bar harbor each day. Easy and nice drive. Only thing I would change is the beds are a little hard, but that’s personal preference. Don’t be afraid to book this one!
