Accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Quiet and “ out of the way.” A well kept secret. All the comforts necessary while being away from home.

Location, location, location! Not only did this cute cabin meet all our needs and wants, it is perfectly nestled against the park. Walk into Acadia or take a short drive to all your ANP and island destinations. Thanks, Rob and Marge. We truly enjoyed our stay.

When planning a trip to Acadia with my kids, I didn’t really know where to stay. I was fortunate to stumble upon this little cabin in Southwest Harbor. If you’re looking for frills, this isn’t your place, but with a location as perfect as this cabin, you don’t need them. The inside is cozy and met our needs well. The outdoor area is beautiful and has a grill, picnic table and plenty of yard space for the kids to play. The property backs right up to the park, so you can venture out on a nature walk right from the cabin. The location is great! It’s very quiet and peaceful and set back from town, so there’s no neighboring noise. Southwest Harbor is a quaint little town, which had a pace I preferred much more than that of Bar Harbor. All the hikes we went on were 30 minutes or less of a drive. The furthest we went was to Schoodic Point and that was about an 80 minute drive. There is a beautiful lake in Southwest Harbor that offers slightly warmer swimming water than the ocean offers. This was a wonderful place to hang our hats after long days in the park and definitely a place I’d recommend to others.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and on MDI! It was nice to come back to the “quiet side” after spending the day hiking & exploring Bar Harbor. Rob was quick to respond when the grill was out of propane. He greeted us upon our arrival & gave us some tips & tricks to the island. Would stay here again & recommend it to a friend!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this small cabin during our vacation. It's a cozy space with everything we needed. We would rent it again without hesitation.

The cabin was our base camp and we were frequently out from dusk to dawn exploring everything. Rob met us as we got in and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay here again, and quite possibly may. We’ve already talked about a possible return trip. Thank you Rob and Marj

For me, the location outside Southwest Harbor was perfect. The cabin has walking trails adjacent to it. The owners live a stone's throw away. That is a definite positive aspect, but I had absolutely no problems during my stay. I recommend this cabin without hesitation.

We absolutely love this cabin! Rob came over to say hi, which we really appreciated! He also made sure we knew where to find his number for any questions/concerns. It was clean and well equipped. We literally had everything we needed! We typically come to Acadia to do 15-20 miles of hiking a day and then come back to where we’re staying to eat/crash each night! Having a kitchen and grill made that possible. We also loved starting and ending our day with the screened in porch! Summer in Acadia is buggy and this made it possible to enjoy the weather without the mosquitoes!
This was our first time actually staying on the “quiet side” and we will never stay anywhere else in the Acadia area. The locals are friendly, the restaurants are better/less crowded/less touristy, the trails are just as good and less crowded. The drives to different areas of the park are all reasonable.
Our favorite part of this location was access to trails! We literally a path right outside of the cabin, that takes you to a trailhead. How cool is that! We absolutely hope to stay here again the next time we visit! Thanks Rob and Marj for sharing!!

This was our third time staying in Cabin number 1. We were greeted upon our arrival by our host, Rob, and had a nice chance to chat before moving our gear into the cabin. As experienced in the past, the cabin was clean and neat and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week. The wooded setting was quiet and peaceful and the screened in porch was a favorite spot for having a cup of tea and a good read. This cabin is perfect for the way we like to vacation and makes it possible for us to access all that Acadia National Park has to offer!

Best vacation yet!
We absolutely loved this cabin in Southwest Harbor! The cabin was very clean and cozy. The bed was the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in on a vacation! Which was so great after such busy fun filled days! Rob greeted us in person shortly after we arrived. Gave us some great recommendations on where to eat. Taught us where to catch the best trails into Acadia National Park from THE BACK YARD! We were able to hike Little Pond, Perpendicular Trail, and Great Notch without having to drive anywhere at all. Everything we needed was close by and Bar Harbor was only 30 minutes away!
We had the best week here and would recommend Explorer cabins to anyone wanting to stay out of the craziness of Bar Harbor! Thanks for a great time Rob & Marj!

Loved it
We loved this property. It was just what we needed for a perfect trip to MDI. The Rankins are great and we enjoyed our trip! So many great trails just outside the cabin, property is quiet and private, and I would highly recommend for families with children.

Cozy getaway
This was exactly what we had hoped for. Nestled away on the quiet spot on the edge of Acadia National Park. Surrounded by beautiful pine trees, and just steps away from a trail. We met one of the hosts, and he was very nice, but also kept to himself throughout the stay. Very good value, and lovely.

Acadia Gem
We had a wonderful time staying at this cozy cottage near Acadia in a quiet and peaceful setting. It had access to hiking trails just off the property and was only a short distance to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The communication with the hosts was top notch and they were available to answer any questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay here again on a future trip.

Second year in a row
The cabin is perfect. Rob is a great guy. We enjoyed it so much last year, we decided to come back again this year. We hiked directly from the cabin two days. The property is adjacent to Acadia.

Cabin in the woods
A wonderful spot with great access to the ‘Quiet Side’. A cozy cabin that is nestled in the woods near trails is the perfect get-a-way and come to nature!

Great cabin great stay
Rob and Marjs cabin was a great home for our week in Acadia. We enjoyed our morning hikes directly from our front door into the park, and our evenings by the bbq and fire pit. The cabin is far enough from town for some excellent stargazing and privacy, but only five minutes from cafes, the grocery and the local main strip. Bring your soaps/shampoos/toiletries but the kitchen has the pots and pans and coffee maker you would need. The wifi was great enough for video calls if remote work is needed. We had a great stay- hopefully not our last. Thanks for hosting!

Perfect proximity to Acadia
There are miles of trails right outside your door! Plenty of hiking and biking to do without having to drive from the property and fine parking. This is our second summer staying here and we’ve already booked next year’s stay at their other property. Great patch of woods to play in and fire pit for roasting hotdogs and s’mores. The only cons are it’s a small space if you aren’t a couple and the kitchen isn’t elaborate so plan on simple meals or dining out. Hosts are just down the driveway but you never know they’re there. Great find and great value!!

We had a great time! The best cabin! Had everything you can want…even a friendly outdoor orange tabby cat that answers to “Tigah”. Thanks Rob and Marj
