Log Chalets - Bar Harbor Cottage Rentals

My family has rented the log cabin for a week every summer for the past five years. It sleeps 6 very comfortably and is attractively decorated and very clean and well maintained. It includes all the amenities you'd need (wi-fi, cable t.v., grill, washer/dryer, iron, fully provisioned kitchen, etc.) and has access to the water as well as a beautiful view of sunsets over the bay (great for evening cocktails on the deck after activity filled days!). It's doggie friendly so the whole family can come on vacation - which is very important to us! The location is quiet and safe on its own private road and very conveniently located to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Ellsworth. The owner is very reasonable and responsive to requests. We love it here and would never stay any place else in Bar Harbor!!!

We rented this chalet when we were traveling with another couple. It is spacious and very comfortable. The chalet is located about 10 miles (15 minute drive) from Bar Harbor and Acadia. The chalet seems quite new. You enter into a great room (living and dining rooms) with 2-story ceilings. The kitchen is roomy and has all the cooking and dining implements we needed. All the appliances were clean and in good condition. On the main floor are 2 good sizes bedrooms (one with a TV) and a full bath. Upstairs is a large loft with 2 beds. Downstairs there's a family room with TV, full bath and laundry room. The furniture is comfortable and homey. There's a large deck on the back of the main floor of the chalet with comfortable chairs to relax enjoy the beautiful view. A short walk through the trees and down a stairway takes you to the shore of Mt. Desert Narrows. We took a fun and interesting hike along the beach. I would definitely recommend this property for a large family or group of friends.

Perfect Vacation, no stress at all. Everything was great. We had everything we needed and was provided with great places around the area to visit. Will visit again.

The log chalet was beautiful -- even more than we had expected. Located just five minutes from the entrance to Acadia, our family of four -- empty nest parents and their two 20-something boys were close to whatever anyone wanted to do, separate or together. The chalet had floor to ceiling windows with a large outside deck that had a full view of the bay, the lobster boat that worked its traps each morning and the trio of foxes that paraded around the property. Inside the house was well-appointed, a good size, not too small, not too big and very cozy with modern amenities. The boys loved the downstairs with its large TV and its full ability to accommodate the Xbox that came along on the trip while the parents enjoyed the more quiet upstairs. Brenda, the owner, was pleasant and very easy to work with, and we actually had an opportunity to meet and talk with her during our week -- she provided excellent information on the area and takes great pride in her property and seeing that her tenants are comfortable. Because of the short drive to the entrance, we spent most of the week in the park, sea kayaking, hiking, bicycling, eating at Jordan Pond, shopping, and just relaxing. Our family has included the location and log chalet in the "favorite vacation ever" list and we fully intend to return to this beautiful home.

This home is an amazing place to spend a waterfront vacation in Acadia. The home has wonderful views of the bay with plenty of windows. Close proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are benefits with location along a private wooded road remote from any summer congestion. Cleanliness and home amenities are exceptional. Unique log home design is memorable. Exterior deck terrific for eating, relaxing, and reading.

Excellent location with great accommodations. Very roomy and very clean. Everything you are looking for in a vacation home. My girls were happy with the WiFi.

We spent the Fourth of July week in this home, and enjoyed our stay very much. This is a relatively new and very nicely built home (log walls, central forced hot air heat, Gas Jotul stove to take the chill and damp off on rainy days, Pella windows), very well maintained, and exceptionally well provisioned. And everything was very clean. Staying here was more like borrowing a friend's house than staying at a vacation rental. Everything was provided: Coffee maker of course... but WITH a large supply of coffee filters. A dish washer... AND dishwasher soap... Gas grill... WITH propane tank and instructions on how to get (free) refills. Every manner of kitchen appliance. Reasonably nice furnishings (a big table for a get together or on which to do a puzzle). VERY comfortable beds, with very little wear on them. The house is superbly located: About 15 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor, 10 minutes from Acadia National Park. It's located directly adjacent to 3 other properties owned by the same owner, so the house isn't isolated in the woods, but neither are the other houses are so close as to be bothersome. This house is not directly on the water, but there IS a nice water view from the deck through the trees. A flat screen TV (36" or so) is downstairs in a comfy media-room/playroom. If you want to send the kids off to play and watch the tube while you relax on the main floor with a couple of beverages this is a good thing. Not having kids, I wished there was a TV on the main floor, so I could put on the ballgame in the background while chilling on the deck. But this, really, is a quibble. Oh, the WiFi connectivity is excellent and provides good download speeds. Worked well for streaming content. Also, the house is definitely pet friendly. Our two dogs (a Bernese Mountain Dog and a German Shepherd) approved of the place. Again, the whole experience was much more like staying a friend's place than a rental property. Communication with the owner was good (if not stellar) and reasonably prompt. Every email I sent was responded to within a day or so. The owner (who owns a total of six houses in the area, I believe) is clearly a professional who knows what she's doing. I'd definitely recommend this house, and would return, without any hesitation.

Three friends and I stayed at the Log Chalet for a week in September. The cabin looks just like the picture and is clean and beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes. There is also a grill, which we didn't use, but it appeared to be in good working order. The location is wonderful and overlooks Frenchman's bay. We saw several sunsets from the deck. It's great having laundry facilities in the cabin as well so that we didn't have to pack much luggage. The beds were all comfortable and there are plenty of towels. There is cable TV and wifi available for your use. From the cabin, you can get to almost anywhere on the island in less than 20 minutes--Northeast Point, Acadia Park, Bar Harbor, and Trenton. Booking was easy with Brenda. I will definitely stay here again.

The chalet was wonderful me and my family of 7 stayed here for a week it had everything we needed even tho it was off season and a lot of stuff was closed for the season we had a great time in the cabin playing games and spending a lot of bonding time together made a lot of good meals kitchen had everything we needed all in all was great.

Everything we expected and then some. The log chalet was well maintained and very relaxing. Plenty of room to unwind and relax after a long day of hiking or to get out of the bad weather and play games or watch tv with the family. Brenda was great to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. One thing I recommend is book your stay for as long as possible. There's so much to be seen and endless places to eat. Will definitely be back.
