Kayak and Canoe while exploring Green lake in Front and Boggy Brooke in back. A step up from camping. Hot water outdoor shower, lake water for dishes, Bottled water for drinking, Firepit, Small beach, Comfortable and Serene. Acadia for day trips is 20 miles, grocery and seafood stores 10-15 minutes. Special place for the right people.

Loved our stay at Cabin Beaver! Cannot say enough good things about our stay. We went into the week expecting a great time but this place exceeded all of our expectations. Cabin is very well kept and well stocked with all the essentials. Loved our evening and morning sits over looking the lake listening to the loons and watching the bald eagles. Would highly recommend staying here!

Charming Cabin by the Lake

A great place to stay if you want to experience camping & lake life with some luxuries like a shower & fully stocked kitchen. The cabin was very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything to make it very welcoming. Acadia is not too far away but you will probably want to stay on the island to canoe & kayak.

Magical Adventure for Kids

We had such an amazing time at Cabin Beaver! Fishing, canoeing and kayaking, seeing and experiencing all the wildlife, relaxing and playing together… the cabin had it all. Beautiful location in DownEast and close to everything Acadia has to offer, but returning to the cabin each day was a highlight for our young kiddos. Thank you so much Jennifer & Jack for this special getaway.

Quiet Cabin Getaway

Everything was perfect. The hosts are great, very easy to communicate with and have thought of everything to make the stay feel comfortable. The cabin is clean, and has everything you need. The lake was also clean and the water was very warm to swim in. The canoe was a lot of fun. Will be back again!

Wonderful Get Away

The hosts were above and beyond kind. The cabin was immaculate and private. My husband and I (and our two Yorkies) enjoyed every second of our stay. Everything that we could need was already in the cabin. We loved the wildlife outside and our opportunity to deepen our connection with God. We would love to return in the future.

Absolutely wonderful stay! My husband and I, and our two sons, made some great memories. The location was perfect. Very peaceful - we loved the sound of the loons! The cabin was so cozy and nice. Very clean. We appreciated the use of the kayaks and canoes. The boys loved fishing and swimming. On a rainy day we watched movies and played games - all of which were provided. The outdoor shower was a fun addition. We will definitely be telling people about our stay. Thank you again for an amazing stay.

Dream Beaver

This little cabin and its gorgeous surroundings was exactly what we needed. It was spectacularly clean and tidy when we arrived. The hosts were out of sight unless we needed them, and then they were there to help. The wail of the loons at dusk and the reflection of the moon off the lake at night were icing on the cake.

Always Wanted to Stay on an Island

We have a great stay on the Isle of Regan. Thanks to warm welcome from Jack soon after we landed on the island, we were ready for our week's stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the company of the pair of loons, the merganser with her seven children, the family of beaver, the red squirrels and the multitude of birds on and around the island. Perfect location for all the hikes and kayaking we had planned for upper coast of Maine. Thanks to Jennifer and Jack for sharing their island with us!

Cabin Beaver

We were looking for some thing, adventurous, off the grid, unique, relaxing, and different! Cabin Beaver checked all the boxes and more! Our own island, canoeing to get to it, almost all the comforts of home, warm shower outdoors. It made my husband and I realize we still had adventure in us after 30 years of marriage! It was just what we needed!

Truly wonderful getaway into pure nature

As others have said, pictures do not do justice to the serenity and beauty this island affords. My wife and I absolutely loved walking around the island, canoeing in the lake, and spending the evening around the campfire. Sure, the bed upstairs is kinda small and the outside shower isn't great, but those minor inconveniences is more than made up for by everything else. Unless those creature comforts are the chief pleasures of a getaway, you will love this place. And Acadia Ntl Park is a really easy drive of about 30 minutes.

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and brought our dog along to explore the island (off leash!) We had a great experience through and through. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. The cabin is well-appointed and very comfortable. The directions were very clear. One thing to note - the drive in on backroads is be quite bumpy at one point. We were fine in our SUV, but folks in a lower sedan should proceed carefully. Overall 10/10. Thanks!
