Dog-Friendly Pond Retreat- Hike, Swim Relax, Repeat!


Book now for Summer 2026!

Aspen Cabin has been a rental for many years where families come back to enjoy their Maine summer and make great memories. Our summer months tend to be booked a year in advance.

Come enjoy this beautiful log cabin, sandy beach- Little Tunk Pond retreat! Aspen Cabin is surrounded by Schoodic and Black Mountains on a very private setting that allows you to think that you have this pond all to yourself! 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms will give your family plenty of space to relax inside or outside on the screened in porch after a day of hiking or visiting Acadia National Park. Outside you will find that we have a grill, great wooden swing, a fenced in area to let your dogs go for a run, 3 kayaks and a canoe. A great solo stove to sit around and have smores. If fishing is more your style we have plenty of that, with salmon and trout in Little Tunk. Maybe you would like to go for a swim, this pond is great for that and Big Tunk is just a short walk away! We have a generator all hooked up to immediately switch over if power is ever lost. Aspen Cabin is here to offer you the peace of getting away in the woods while still maintaining all of the comforts of home! We are 45-60 minutes away from Bar Harbor and 20 minutes away from the Schoodic Peninsula.

We had a fabulous stay at the Aspen cabin. The kids swam and paddled for hours in the beautiful pristine water of Little Tunk. The sunsets and then the stars in the clear dark sky were spectacular! We are definitely excited to return next summer.

We had a fabulous experience! The cabin was as advertised and a perfect location for a family get away! We loved the property and proximity to the water. My kiddos enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat. We especially enjoyed s’mores around the fire. The remote location was peaceful and restful, but close enough to Acadia and all it has to offer. A perfect family retreat! Just what we needed as a family to kick off summer 2025!

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Quintessential Maine rental. The lovely cabin is secluded and the pond it sits on is simply beautiful; we spent multiple days not even leaving the property with the opportunity to canoe, kayak, and paddle boat right there from the small, private beach! There was still plenty of time to visit Acadia National Park, smaller parks/independent trails, and multiple nearby harbors, as well. My family is very much looking forward to coming back here, as it was the perfect spot and we all fell in love with it!

Our family had the best time at the cabin. The kids swam and fished in the lake while the adults enjoyed watching them and the scenery from the shore. The cabin felt private yet we were close enough to Bar Harbor.

Most peaceful stay

Aspen Cabin is a gem sitting on the most serene, crystal clear lake. Warm water for swimming, hours spent fishing, gorgeous sunsets, and the most terrific hiking, biking, and lobster rolls within near proximity. We loved the Schoodic area—the beauty of Acadia without the crowds!
