Secluded Cabin minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Location:
The Pines is located on the north coast of Mt. Desert Island, also known as Frenchman Bay. The cabin is only seven 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 the park and town. This secluded cabin is nestled in pine trees and is 100 yards away from its sister cabin, the Guest House VRBO# 887888. The property has a communal deck with a picnic table that overlooks the bay. The sunrise and sunsets are amazing. Watch lobster boats in the morning.

Note that this is an uninsulated cabin. Which means that if it gets chilly outside - it'll get chilly inside by morning. The wood stove makes great heat. There are also two space heaters and we supply electric blankets.

The Pines has a sister cabin, the Guest House VRBO# 887888

Amenities:
There is a large living area with kitchen (stove/oven, refrigerator and sink), eating area, sitting area with a wood stove. There are two bedrooms. The cabin sleeps five. One bedroom has a double sized bed. The other bedroom has a bunk bed and a single. There is WiFi and you can stream from your mobile devices to the TV. The cottage has a large covered porch for sitting. We also provide a charcoal grill. Parking is next to the cabin.

Why Us:
This is a peaceful and quiet retreat. We've been renting The Pines and its sister cabin, The Guest House, for over 40 years. Many of our guests have been returning for over a decade, drawn back by the tranquility and natural beauty of this place. It’s an ideal spot for couples or families, and we make it easy to bring your pets. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to have them with you—so feel free to bring yours!

We rent from Saturday to Saturday.

The property has a second cabin on it 100 yards down the hill and a house a further 50 yards beyond that.

Cabin in the woods
If not for the weather being a bit too chilly for me all went well. I gave 1 star for the property manager because i texted her once and never got a response. I texted the owner and got a prompt reply. If its chilly expect to burn lots of wood as we did. The 2 space heaters work well with the wood stove to make it nice and cozy. We brought a fan with us and placed it to the left side of stove to circulate warm air coming off stove. That really worked well. Loved the shower, nice and hot and good pressure. Well situated to get anywhere, nice surroundings, very wooded.Had eveything you needed in a kitchen. Loved the picture windows. The fact they accepted pets was the determning factor. Would go back again, absolutely!

A peaceful adventure
We enjoyed such a peaceful week and slept so soundly! Loved enjoying my morning coffee while doing yoga on the deck with my daughter. We had easy access to get to every part of the island. Such a great place to come back to after our hiking, biking, and exploring activities! Easy access to and prompt replies from the property owner. Highly recommend this property.

Thank you for a wonderful week.
We loved your cabin! While not right on the water, it was perfect to be in the woods a bit off the beaten path (yet still close to everything!). It was nice to sit on the dock and watch the wildlife and boaters in the evening. Sitting on the deck was so quiet and peaceful. We found ourselves sitting there in the morning and then again in the evening. The cabin provided all the basic needs. Kevin checked in on us to make sure all was good. Thank you for that!

Perfect Location!
We loved our week at the Pines! It was the perfect location, close by to Hulls Cove entrance at Acadia NP and close by to downtown Bar Harbor. It was also easy to get to other other areas, less than an hour to Schoodic. Check in and check out was easy and communcation was easy too. The cabin had everything we needed and was nestled in the woods. It was so nice to sit on the deck in the evening after a long day at the park.

We absolutely loved staying at the cabin. Everything was as advertised and the setting was picturesque. The cabin was relaxing and quiet and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We can’t wait to get back to Maine! Kevin was a fantastic host!

Comfortable Acadia Stay
My son and I stayed here for a week. It's a bit rustic but well provisioned. Our first night the temperature dropped to 45 degrees - fortunately it has space heaters. By the end of the week the heat index was over 100 - but the property manager came to the rescue with two tower fans that were just right. The beautiful bouquet of cut flowers on the kitchen table was appreciated. I'd stay here again.

Great space and location!
We just got back from a wonderful stay at The Pines. The cabin has everything you need and is in the perfect location. Great proximity to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor, as well as a nice mini golf spot. The cabin has a rustic vibe, and we loved that. It got chilly at night but the space heaters did the trick and we weren’t cold at all. Our dog had a blast too!

Acadia Trip
Functional cabin but difficult for my husband as he is 6'5''. The cabin is tight in places and as we are over 60, lighting was a problem. The beauty of the area and sightseeing were beyond amazing. the cabin needs some scissors in the utility drawer. Thank goodness I brought my own. We had a little confusion with the check in process but it turned out okay.

Idyllic Maine Getaway
A rustic cozy cabin in the woods offering tranquility and water access…it’s exactly what we look for in a Maine vacation. Location can’t be beat. Just a short drive to Bar Harbor for shops and restaurants. Access to the park and carriage trails is convenient.

Nice Little Cabin
Was nice and cozy for the week. Just a short walk to the water. You have to drive anywhere else you want to go, that's the only negative thing. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the covered deck in the downpour and just relaxing. Thanks

Great trip and property
Despite a rough start with a forgotten reservation and unprepared cabin, we found Kevin to be awesome and accommodating to work with. He and Rachel got the place ready while we did a quick exploration of the area. Enjoyed the location and easy access to everything, the views and exploring the shoreline at low tide. Definitely would recommend staying here.

A great vacation location for Acadia National Park
This property was a great location for getting to hiking trails for wonderful hikes and carriage trails for biking. It was in a location close to the Acadia national park roads. Bar Harbor was just a short drive. We were able to enjoy the ocean from the deck and enjoyed the sunrise with coffee on the deck. The host was great and easy to communicate with. What a great week we had in Acadia.

The Pines at Baycliff
My husband and I spent the first week of October 2022 at The Pines cabin at Baycliff on Frenchman Bay. The cabin was exactly what we needed - secluded and quiet! It is well-appointed with the basics - we did some simple cooking and had everything we needed. Even though it is tucked in the woods, there is fast wifi, which is a great combination -- we did not use the television setup, but appreciated the wifi for making plans and reservations. Because of the time of year, the nights were cold (30-40 degrees), so we made good use of the wood stove, which heated everything up nicely. We also appreciated the wall heater in the bathroom! The only issue was the lighting (it's a bit dark, though serviceable), which the property owner plans to address. He was very communicative via text at check-in without being intrusive, and we felt comfortable that he would provide or arrange assistance if anything came up. Overall a great place to stay and a wonderful vacation - thank you!
