We loved this cabin for our Acadia visit! It’s close to the park but away from the tourist chaos of Bar Harbor. Incredibly comfortable and cozy, beautiful views, and we had a pair of bald eagles visit every day.

My husband & I stayed at Camp 60 for a week in the fall. This cabin is not fancy - but it is perfect. Clean, plenty of supplies, just about anything you need is there. My only suggestion would be a compact washer dryer & maybe update the TV which is ancient and only plays DVDs. Not a big issue for us but might be for guests with kids. Host was great and communicated frequently and offered great suggestions. The views from the porch are gorgeous and falling asleep to the sounds of the water lapping on the shore and the cry of loons was wonderful. You are close enough to everything and blissfully far away enough to have your own little world. We didn’t want to leave!

I never wanted leave! All the comforts of home with a one in a million view! Fresh seafood a stones throw away and walkable at “Tracy’s!” Since staying indefinitely wasn’t an option; we can’t wait to return!

I would live in this cabin if I could. The view is unbelievable at all times of day, very quiet area. The RV park next door was quiet and very nice. The cabin was perfect and definitely want to stay here again.

This is such a great location to be right on the water. We were in between MDI Acadia National Park and Schoodic Acadia National Park. Both areas were wonderful with Schoodic being less crowded.
We used the wood burning stove as it got down to 49 degrees at night (in June!) and it provided warmth for the entire cabin. We used the fire pit outside for homemade popcorn and marshmallows. We used the grate from the charcoal grill to cook up burgers on that fire even though there was also a charcoal grill and propane grill. We did not use the corn hole games but they we’re available!
We should have stopped at the cabin before shopping (major stores only about 15 minutes away) as there were many spices, olive oil, butter, etc. available. We added and left a few unused foods as well!
The RV park next door was quiet. The cabin is just off the main road but so it is very convenient for traveling but you don’t hear the noise of the road, and the view of the water was so amazing even on rainy or foggy days. On the few sunny days, my husband took a dip in the water too!
The host, Jim, was very responsive and left a great trail guide book that helped us pick out our adventures for the day. The beds (Queen, twins and futon) were all comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the shower. There were plenty of towels, beach towels and hair dryer.
Would definitely stay here again and hope to sometime in the future!
Thanks Jim!

This little cabin on the water's edge of Flanders Bay was everything and more described. It was our own little slice of heaven for the week we enjoyed there. I spent hours sitting on the front porch watching the tide ebb and flow, eagles and ospreys circling overhead and diving for a meal, the lobstermen coming in with their daily harvest, and so much more. I would highly recommend this camp for your next stay along the Downeast Coast of Maine. Our host was delightfully helpful with recommendations for activities as well as local resaurants. Can not wait to visit again.

Beautiful Home
That's what we felt, that it is or home that we plan to come back to. We love our next door neighbors as well as the neighbors that live in the back yard tree, that being the Bald Eagles. Pretty cool.

Amazing and Beautiful Property
My friend and I were amazed at the serenity of this property. Everything we needed was already there. Nothing can beat the view of the water and the mountains. The park and bar harbor are only about 45 mins away. There is a great ice cream place within walking distance. 100% will be visiting again and recommend!!!!!!

This is a spacious cabin with a spectacular waterfront view. We saw bald eagles and various water fowls all day long from the living/dining room windows. The cabin has plenty of amenities and a generous pantry to make it feel like a home away from home. We took the canoe out one afternoon for some bird watching. We also enjoyed the lobster rolls and whole-belly clams from Tracey's seafood just within a short walking distance. It is a ~45-minute drive to Acadia NP but a lot closer (~15 min) to Acadia Schoodic District in Winter Harbor. We stopped by Winter Harbor Lobster Co-op for a tasty and cheap lobster/crab meal one afternoon. Overall a wonderful property and would definitely visit again. One thing missing that would make this experience absolutely perfect would be access to wifi. But we had good phone signals and were able to use our phones as mobile hotspots to get a little work done on our laptops.

Comfortable,cozy spot with the most awesome porch! The view of Flanders Bay and the mountains of Acadia never gets old. The Mason jar fire fly lanterns in the tree and nighlights in the hall speak to a genuine thoughtfulness. Loved the Radio/cd player as we actually had brought our own with us and cd's. And yes, there were lupines in the field.

The first thing to know about this location is its spectacular view of Mount Desert Island and Frenchman Bay. I didn't want to leave it. As a base for exploring Acadia and environs, it met my needs and then some. Comfortable, very clean and quiet, but close enough to the hiking trails. Jim provided all the little extras that I forgot, and responded quickly to my questions. A great Maine camp experience!

My partner and I had an amazing time staying at Jim's cabin! The pictures don't do it justice - the inside was much larger than we expected. The cabin was very clean and stocked with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We constantly found ourselves realizing we had not packed something we needed, and whatever it was, Jim had it in the cabin for us to use. Jim was very communicative and incredibly helpful. We needed to come up a night early due to Hurricane Henri and he was very accommodating and generous. We didn't spend a ton of time at the cabin as we spent most days in Acadia (45 minute drive to Bar Harbor and closer to 1 hour to get to different mountains/hikes inside the park). But the time we did spend there was wonderful - we had a fire one night and got a great view of the stars. It was quiet most of the time, with occasional noise from the RV park next door, but we hardly noticed. There's a quick seafood restaurant at the end of the driveway (with ice cream) that was very convenient. We highly recommend staying here!

This is the perfect place to relax and unwind while viewing Frenchman’s Bay, Atlantic Ocean! Sit on the covered front porch with your coffee and watch the water move as the seals feed, giving you an occasional peek of themselves. Watch the 3 lobster boats come in with their catch of the day. When you have unwound, a scenic drive (about 45 minutes) takes you to the city of Bar Harbor for all of the shopping that your heart desires. A very short drive to the Acadia National Park where beauty abounds! The cabin has all that you will need (and then some0 with the host just a text away. Truly a great vacation spot that I hope to visit again in the future.

We had an amazing stay at this cabin. The cabin is cozy, clean, and has everything one would need when going away. The view is beautiful sitting out on the deck overlooking the water. The weather wasn’t the greatest so we couldn’t really enjoy the lawn games or fire pit, but we would love to go back and try again!! Great trip great host. Thanks again Jim!!

Just perfect!
We stayed here for a getaway before we welcome our second child in January. This place was perfect for the two of us. The amenities were amazing - fully stocked kitchen for all our meals (we were there for a week and only got take out once and we had everything we needed), wood stove with all the necessities to run that, and the view is outstanding. The location was perfect for us. We spent several days going to Acadia (about 35-60 min depending where you are going), one day up the coast to Quoddy and Cutler which was about 90 min from this spot, and then another day hiking schoodic mountain and the schoodic peninsula which was about 10 min and 30 min away respectively.
We did a lot of relaxing using the beautiful front porch and lawn. We also kayaked in the bay which was beautiful!
Jim was an amazing host, just a text away for questions and recommendations!
This place was perfect and we are already talking about wanting to come back!

I had the pleasure of spending 4 nights in Jim’s cabin and it was a true delight.First of all, calling it a “cabin” doesn’t do it justice. Yes it is a cabin but it has everything one would find in any house - A fully stocked kitchen, new appliances, great dining area, big living room with a great wood stove, two good sized bedrooms and a nice 3/4 bath. There is a lovely porch where you can sit and watch the beautiful sunsets or watch the lobster boats pull in their traps.You’re a handful of steps to a rocky beach that opens up at low tide. Also outside there’s a nice lawn and fire pit. You are close to an RV campground so it’s not super secluded but I never had any noise issues from the campground at all. There is a run down house to the left but hey, more privacy!The location is perfectly situated between Bar Harbor and Winter Harbor so you can just as quickly get to Schoodic Point as you can Acadia. Ellsworth is close too and there are plenty of stores within 20 minutes to buy whatever you need.So again, I can’t recommend Jim’s place enough and I look forward to returning!-Matt

Jim was a more than gracious host whose friendliness and generosity were only outshone by the stunning property we were lucky to experience. Without hesitation, book if you can- his camp was a joy to retreat to after a long day hiking or out on the water. We had an amazing time and couldnt be happier! Thank you, Jim!

Excellent stay
The property is charming and rustic, very clean, and an amazing location. It’s convenient to everything in the area while being away from the crowds of the main part of Acadia. The view is unbeatable, we saw eagles almost every morning and gorgeous sunsets with starry skies on clear nights. Kayaks were a definite plus to get out on the water. Well stocked with everything you might need, linens, kitchen equipment, firewood, etc. There is a campground next door, so you can hear people from there which I was wondering about at first, but everyone there seemed to also be looking for a peaceful get away and it was never an issue. Owner was extremely helpful and great with communicating. Would absolutely stay here again.
