Great Experience!
Posted Nov. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat Experience - The view from the property was incredible, and our host was kind, accommodating, and responsive.

loved almost everything but the shower/bathroom
Posted Nov. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayViews off the porch were stunning, The place was super cute and rustic as we expected. Great location and our favorite restaurants were all very near by. The shower however is like bathing with a straight jacket on...maybe worse than that. That is the only reason we would not return.

Thanks for coming, but sorry to hear you were disappointed with the shower. It is snug, but "straight jacket" might be a bit exaggerated! For future guests info, the shower surround is 2' 8" x 2' 3." Maybe it depends on the user's size. I am 6', 215 and I haven't been inconvenienced by the shower surround size.

Great location & views
Posted Oct. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat location close to Bar Harbor & other activities but far enough away from the crowds. Great views from the deck overlooking the water.

Perfect for us!
Posted Oct. 15, 2024 on HomeAwayThis little cabin was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. Peter was so helpful-giving us great suggestions and guiding us as navigating to Bar Harbor for the first time. The canine was fully stocked, super cozy and the view was spectacular. The morning sunrise was glorious. The location was perfect for our stay the area to fully explore Acadia. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful cabin
Posted Sep. 16, 2024 on HomeAwayThe cabin is beautiful, right on the water. It's rustic and I wouldn't want to explore MDI in other way! We had a baby with us, but his afternoon naps and early morning risings. were much more enjoyable with the beautiful view from the cabin.

Great view and host
Posted Sep. 10, 2024 on HomeAwayThe good:
1. The view of the lake is great with really nice sunrises.
2. The host is the next house over and responds very quickly to questions and requests.
3. The sky lights in the bedrooms are a nice touch.
Improvements:
1. The bedding and sheets are stained and need to be replaced.
2. The couch needs to be replaced. It seems really old and is not comfortable.
3. The cabin is aged and could use a freshen up throughout on the inside and out.

Hello, Michael, thanks for your review. Glad you had a nice time. I appreciate your suggestions. All are already on our list, although most people don't notice these things and just love it. But i am always looking for ways to make Spruce more enjoyable and your feedback helps us along.

Great launch pad for MDI!
Posted Jul. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had a great stay at Spruce Chalet! The view of the ocean from the deck is just gorgeous, any time of day, any weather. There are steps right out the door down to the beach, and the kids had fun looking for sea glass and shells.
The chalet itself was the perfect size for our family of four and dog. It had a nice selection of books, an open floor plan and a small but mighty kitchen with everything you need to make a good meal. It has a sweet, cozy feel, and is also large enough so it felt like we could have some quiet space too.
Sweet Pea’s, just down the street, is a great restaurant (with adjacent winery and coffee shop), and an outdoor covered deck overlooking the farm. It’s dog friendly, too!
The chalet is about 9 minutes to Bar Harbor, and about 5 to the Hulls Cove entrance for Acadia. We often drove into town, parked in one of the lots, and took the free Island Explorer bus into Acadia. There is also a route that stops close to the chalet (Hadley point campground). We were able to pack a lot in—Cadillac, Gorham, Thunder Hole, Sand Beach, Jordan Pond House, and Eagle Lake. We took a day trip to the Cranberry Islands too, went on Lulu’s Lobster boat, and caught a movie at Reel Pizza.
It was nice to have a place to relax at the end of the day that was just far enough to feel remote, but close enough to be convenient.
Peter was very responsive when we had any questions, and is knowledgeable about the area. We’d definitely stay here again!

Best View anywhere.
Posted Jul. 10, 2024 on HomeAwayWe prefer to stay away from the congestion, most destinations have. We choose Cabins like this. Peace, quiet, Scenic. Grandkids loved going down to the Rocky Beach.
Spruce Cabin is comfy, good Beds, about everything you need. A little more Rustic, than the pics reflect.... but not at all a bad thing.
Instant communication with Owner, good guy!

We had an amazing stay at the Spruce chalet!
Posted Jul. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayOur family loved this little cabin - while tiny, it had all we needed and was truly the perfect location to explore Acadia and Mount Desert Island. We enjoyed the drive to and from the park and Bar Harbor. We also loved having Sweat Pea's and C-Rays so close and ate at Sweat Pea's twice! The lovely view, my daily yoga and coffee on the deck, the direct access to the stairs down to the shore, exploring the shore and water during low tide; we truly loved the stay. Thanks for sharing the chalet!!
