Quiet Cabin near Acadia National Park

This is a lovely property. It was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace and sitting out on the deck looking at the pond. We choose this place because it was very close to the entrance to Acadia National Park. Beautiful views and quiet!

Nice cabin in the woods

The house is a charming log cabin located deep in the woods of a sparsely populated part of Mt Desert Island. It has a nice but small private pond behind the house. The house is overall nice, but definitely has some quirks and inaccurate listing details. Contrary to the listing, it does NOT have a hot tub. The upstairs bathroom has the most unusual “bath tub” I have ever seen - it is about 30”x30” and nearly 3’ deep. It is so tall they had to build a step next to it to get in. I would NOT want to let a smaller child take a bath or shower in it unsupervised due to its depth. It has a shower head, but the standing area in the tub is maybe 18” wide so you can barely turn around in it. For this reason, no one used it and everyone took showers in the downstairs bathroom (which is a relatively normal bathroom). There is an outdoor grill, but had no propane. Internet is good; without it there is very limited cell coverage in this area (Verizon). The washer/dryer is a stacked unit, located in the first floor bathroom partially in front of the vanity; this makes the bathroom rather small due to its size. Home is nicely furnished with suitable kitchen appliances and such. The house is not air conditioned. There are a couple fans in the rooms. It’s probably logical to be un-air conditioned for 10-11 months out of the year, but during our visit the weather was rather hot & very humid. Would benefit from AC. Overall a good cabin but far from perfect.

Close to everything yet secluded

This cabin was welcoming and well equipped. It is close to all the fun things to do in the area yet tucked away in a quiet area with a fun pond on the property! My kids had a great time on the kayak on the pond! Coming from Florida it was nice being able to play in a pond with no alligators! Definitely would recommend this home!

A Cozy Getaway in Paradise!

I was immediately reminded of the log homes I built as a kid with my Lincoln Logs. It couldn't have been any more comfortable and cozy. A perfect getaway! The owner was very helpful and prepared us well for our stay. We look forward to coming back soon. Cheers!

Great cabin. Highly recommend

We stayed at the Harper Cabin for a long weekend. This was a great house. It was clean, with detailed instructions and recommendations about the house and surrounding area. The location is perfect. Close enough to everything you want to see on MDI but far enough away from the crowds. The house is very private, with a nice pond and stream. The deck is very large and equipped with chairs, picnic table and a nice grill. The kitchen was very nicely stocked with cooking utensils and even had a number of spices available. It provided pretty much everything you would need to cook a good meal. I appreciated the bookshelf containing a number of books about the area and the kids were able to occupy themselves with a few of the board games available. Overall, we really enjoyed our time and found the house to be spacious, clean and equipped with just about everything you need. The host is very attentive as well, and you can tell she takes pride in the place. I would highly recommend.

Nice Cabin

Beautiful property, expansive deck and plenty of space indoors to spread out. All the beds were quite comfortable. The kitchen, while small, had everything we needed to cook. It was a good base for us to get to Acadia. Bar Harbor was 15 min away so we could easily get to town and then have the quiet oasis back at the cabin.

Cozy Cabin!

This pond side cabin was perfect for our needs! It was less than 5 miles to Acadia National Park and it was quiet! The cabin was well stocked with everything we may have needed. The weather wasn’t the best so we were not able to take advantage of the large deck. I highly recommend Harper’s Cabin

Relaxing Space, Convenient to MDI locations

The log cabin was equipped with everything you'd need and was a quiet oasis in the woods with a pond view. Only a short drive into Bar Harbor for evening activities and within 20-30 mins of every highlight of MDI you could imagine. The pack n play and booster seat worked great for our 1.5 year old. Fans were provided and used to cool off the house at night, which worked great. Would recommend staying here to anyone!

July - wonderful "cabin" near Southwest Harbor & Bar Harbor

Excellent! The property was just as listed! Clean, very roomy, very well furnished and well equipped with everything you might want to cook with and more. ..only missing the beavers :( We were 5 adults: my husband and I , and adult sons and daughter-in law. Close to everything, but private place to retreat to. When I emailed the owner with a question, she called me within 5 minutes! I would recommend rental from this house and this host without any reservations. Thank you for a wonderful week. PS- if you are looking for a fantastic day out - go to Schoodic Peninsula for the day, but BRING FOOD! Stop at the Rangers table at entrance to the Schoodic campground!!
