About this cabin rental
Location:
TheGuest House is located on the north coast of Mount Desert Island overlooking Frenchman Bay. The cabin is just 7 minutes (2.5 miles) from the Acadia National Park Visitor Center and 13 minutes (5 miles) from Bar Harbor. There are fun and safe bicycle routes to both the park and town.
This cabin enjoys beautiful views and is located about 50 yards from the shared cliffside deck used by all three Baycliff rentals: Baycliff Cottage, the Guest House, and The Pines. Set at the edge of the property, the deck offers sweeping views of the bay, nearby islands, and distant mountains. With built-in bench seating and a picnic table, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee, relax with a glass of wine in the evening, or have a peaceful picnic lunch while taking in the scenery. Guests occasionally spot dolphins or seals in the bay, and sometimes even a bald eagle soaring overhead.
From the wall of windows across the front of the cabin, you look out through tall pines to Frenchman Bay below. The view includes the water, the neighboring shoreline and cottage, and the ever-changing activity on the bay. The trees frame the scene beautifully, giving you a sense of being tucked into the woods while still enjoying clear glimpses of the water beyond. In the evening, the light over the bay filters through the branches, creating a warm, peaceful atmosphere that makes the living room a perfect place to relax and take it all in.
A Note About the Cabin (Important):
The Guest House is a rustic, uninsulated cabin. If it gets chilly outside, it will get chilly inside by morning. The wood stove provides excellent heat, and we also supply two space heaters and electric blankets to keep you comfortable.
The Cabin & Amenities:
- A large living area with kitchen (stove/oven, refrigerator, sink)
- Eating area and sitting area with a wood stove
- Two bedrooms, sleeping up to five guests
- Master bedroom: Queen bed
- Second bedroom: Twin-over-queen bunk bed
- WiFi and a TV for streaming from your devices
- Large covered porch for relaxing
- Charcoal grill
- Parking next to the cabin
Why Stay With Us:
This is a peaceful and quiet retreat. We’ve been renting The Guest House and its sister cabin, The Pines, for over 40 years, and many of our guests have been returning year after year. People come back for the tranquility, the natural beauty, and the simple joy of this special place.
It’s an ideal spot for couples or families, and pets are welcome. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to bring them along.
Rental Details:
- Rentals are Saturday to Saturday
- The property also includes a second cabin about 100 yards uphill and a house about 50 yards downhill towards the water.
Beach Access Notice (Very Important):
The stairs to the beach were destroyed by storms in 2023, and there is currently no direct beach access. The cliffs, views, decks, and overlooks remain fully accessible and just as beautiful.
The Guest House has a sister cabin on the property, The Pines (VRBO #887970) and the Baycliff Cottage (VRBO# 1678236).

Just as described in listing. Nice spot, close to town but far enough out to be private. Cabin is older but well maintained and cozy with a fire going in the wood stove.The cabin is a nice reminder of simpler times.

House was perfect! Exactly as described and had everything we needed. Close to the Park , extremely comfortable for both us and our adventurous dog. The addition of a wood burning stove was very welcome when the temperature dipped . All communications and check in were super easy - looking forward to returning next year... thanks for helping us have a terrific , well needed vacation
