We found this cabin to be the most well appointed of any vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Dennis and Helen are wonderful hosts who call to make sure your stay is perfect.
The quintessential Maine cabin to unwind and relax at.
We felt at home here. LOVED the solitude. We were close enough to enjoy the area, yet loved just relaxing on the porch or having a fire by the water. We've gradually moved further north from Bar Harbor and just love it. Looking forward to returning. Great owners!!!
We had a great time and the cottage is straight out of a fairytale. The log cabin is amazing and all the details are thought out. The view and the backyard is a true down east gem.
What a wonderful stay we had at this property. All the amenities are pitch perfect for us and the location and area are what we always look for in a vacation home. It is a short drive to hiking, kayaking, as well as groceries. The screened porch makes any weather tolerable. We find complete relaxation here. You will not be disappointed.
We feel as if the photos do not capture how amazing this place is! Beautiful, relaxing location. Tons of crabs in the tide pools for the kids to find. All of the necessities and a well equipped kitchen. Away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia NP, while still capturing what Maine is about! We ate lobster every day we were there, and enjoyed being in the small town of Milbridge. Hosts were great, and communicated with us and answered any questions we had.
We had a great stay at the Magees’ cabin on Bar Island. Dennis called after we arrived to make sure we were settling in okay. Their cabin is so comfortable- kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals, screen porch was great for relaxing any time. Lots of personal touches made it very welcoming. We enjoyed visiting the rocks and watching the tides, seagulls, shore birds and lobster boats, and walking on the island road. We visited local towns and businesses (recommend Ray’s Meat Market, Chipman’s Wharf, the Knotty Lobster, Robertson’s Sea Tours), and Schoodic Point. The Magees provide lots of suggestions for things to see and do. Great value, so glad we found this one!
First of all, Dennis was a great communicator, calling before and during our trip. He also left excellent recommendations about things to do in the area. The house is just as described, tucked away in the woods and close to the water's edge, and it has all of the necessities that you would need (although we did use the couple of rolls of TP that we brought with us). The local Shop N Save is only 15-20 minute aways, but we stopped at the Walmart Ellsworth on the way in to get groceries. This is Dennis and Helen's home, so expect it to feel homey with their photos, books, and knick-knacks. While there we explored the area (Bar Harbor, Acadia, Lubec & whale tour, Schoodic), and we also had quiet days at the cabin. We spent most of our days outside, sitting on the rocks, finding crabs, kayaking, watching the bald eagles, seals & lobster and fishing boats, taking local hikes and picking wild blueberries on Pigeon Hill and the nature reserve. The location was the best of both worlds, able to get to destinations quickly as well as staying put and enjoying the peace and quiet found at Bar Island.
What a perfect Maine hideaway this property is; exactly what we sought for our family trip. The cottage is a "quintessential Maine," log structure finished in knotty pine, beautifully decorated and appointed. The Hosts, Dennis and Helen, have thoughtfully provided everything and more that is needed for a week of exploring the area or relaxing and cooking fabulous fresh seafood meals. They had even, knowing we were looking forward to cooking fresh lobster, set out a large steaming pot and utensils for our preparation. They have provided all the maps, books and brochures you will need to explore, parks, trails, and Downeast gems to see and to really know Downeast Maine. Chipman's Wharf for the freshest seafood; Ray's Meats for an old-fashioned butchery; bakeries and restaurants in Milbridge and nearby. Situtated just a few miles from downtown Milbridge, in the pine woods, with seating and firepit at the shore and a close-up view of Narraguagus Bay. Barbecue a meal or just sit and watch birds, sealife and lobster boats plying the waters. Many hiking trails nearby to enjoy - Pigeon Hill, Petit Manaan views, McClellan Park; Winterharbor (cute village and ferry to Mt. Desert Island), Schoodic Peninsula. Also easy trips of an hour or less to Acadia NP, Machias (Yes, Helen's does have the most wonderful wild blueberry pie) and beyond. But "coming home" to this VRBO was truly comforting and SO peaceful we hated to leave.
The cabin was absolutely charming and very clean! Mr. Magee contacted me before, during and after our stay. He was very helpful and provided us with a list of the area hikes, restaurants, etc. I would highly recommend the place!
Lovely log cabin amid pine trees. Can walk right outside to the inlet. Quiet and peaceful. Close to many hikes. Great home base to explore coastal Maine.
This property is in a great location. We went north and found things to do. It’s only an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia. We did quite a bit of hiking and it was close. Loved the Petit Manan hike. Bed was very comfortable and it was quiet and peaceful.
A lovely stay at a beautiful log cabin with views of the water. This exceptional cabin is a favorite of all of our Maine stays, coming back for a second year. So glad we found it. Quiet, peaceful, with all the amenities we needed. Thank you for making our stay so great.
The property was fantastic. Exactly what we were looking for when visiting Maine. Dennis was great and checked in before our stay and after we checked in. He was available if we needed and left great places to see and try while we were there. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The cabin was amazing, great location, very quiet, had everything needed, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, blankets, just name it. Good communication with the host, very friendly, even gave us a 12 page ideas for thing to do in the area. We did most of them, great places to see and hike. Thank you Dennis so much for the wonderful experience.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The place was very clean and there were ample dishes, pots, and pans. The location is somewhat remote, but that was perfect. The view of the bay is picturesque and constantly changing. An excellent place to recharge the batteries.
The serenity and nature were in paralleled. The hosts could not have been better. Your soul will recharge here. Go north Bar Harbor is overrated. Hit the oft travelled ways of Maine.
Didn't want to return home... will book again for next year, but for 2 weeks instead of 1... too long a drive from WV for only a short 7 day exploration visit. LOVED IT! Rocks, ocean and hiking.

Beautiful escape from it all.
The cabin was beautiful, clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for a weeklong stay. My family enjoyed exploring the water’s edge and laying in the hammock, and we all enjoyed the peace and quiet (and sunsets on the non-foggy days). The Magee’s were excellent hosts, checking in with us twice during the week. Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us!
The Magee’s cottage was such a slice of heaven! It feels like they have opened their home to you. They offered many helpful local suggestions. My favorite place was the screened porch to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect location for us to enjoy things both north and south of the cabin. It was our first trip to Maine and hopefully not our last!
