Summary: Adorable tiny home cabin! Perfect spot because you can get to so many things. Peepers and the fire crackling at night, along with hiking around Acadia National Park, made this a perfect experience. So glad to get away from reality for a couple days and just enjoy nature and good company.

Savannah A. May 15, 2025 11:15:27 PM

Summary: The proximity to the Acadia national park drew us in, but this little cabin is absolutely adorable- once you get used to the stairs! Perfect for a couple’s getaway or a lonesome traveling poet seeking inspiration and adventure

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at the Poet's cabin. It is a nice little place for visiting the Acadia National Park area. It also has a very good sitting area outside and the hosts are very helpful and welcoming! The only issue is that the door opening to the bathroom is very low (I'm 6'2 and hit my head multiple times on the top of the door frame), and the shower is very small. The home is exactly as advertised and a great place to stay, but wanted any other "taller" people to be aware before booking.

Summary: It was a first time visiting Acadia, and it was very nice to escape the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and the park visitors to the secluded quiet side of the island. Absolutely everything you would want or need was provided by the hosts. Never had a single problem. Saw some deer visiting the property. It was a very comfortable and quiet stay just as we had wanted.

Summary: This tiny house had it all! Very efficient and comfy! We cooked, used the grill, and the fire pit for s’mores. We also rode the 3 bikes and took the cooler with us for our drinks. Perfect place for two peeps but we were fine with our 23 year old daughter on the sleep sofa! Highly recommend! Our hosts thought of everything. Their attention was in the details! Thank you

Summary: We had a wonderful time at the Poets Cabin. Perfect location for our adventures in Acadia National park. Was so nice to come home every evening to a quiet and restful place. Carra snd Sean were perfect hosts; everything was as listed and better! So much to do! Did not have a chance to take advantage of all the property has to offer! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome cabin with us! Should our travels find us back in Acadia, we will surely revisit! Highly recommend this property!!

Summary: The cabin is close to Acadia National Park in Manset. It is very cozy inside and out. The bedroom, in particular, is nice and cozy and a great retreat after a long day of hiking. The kitchen is also very well equipped, and we were able to cook great meals. There are little signs everywhere explaining how everything works. That was very helpful. The selection of books and games is also great. Outside, there are nice seating areas and a fire pit. If you look out of the window early, there is a chance to see wildlife. We saw deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, and many different birds. It is simply beautiful there and very relaxing. We hiked the suggested trails and were very impressed by the diversity and beauty of nature.

Summary: We had such a wonderful trip to Maine! There is so much to do, don't sleep on Maine in the winter! Poet's Cabin was perfect for us, it was close to everything and very cozy!

Jennifer B. Aug 29, 2023 05:57:23 AM

Summary: Property exactly as advertised. Stayed w/ my teen daughter for Acadia visit. Really enjoyed being on the quiet side of things, yet easy drive to everything. Great communication from owner incl full listing of things to do, places to eat, etc. Would definitely recommend.
