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.

My husband and I stayed at the Magee Cabin for our first anniversary, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We love a peaceful, private setting with access to nature, chances to see wildlife, and a home that feels warm, welcoming, and well thought out. This cabin delivered all of that and more. The kitchen was stocked with spices, oils, coffee, tea, and every tool we needed to cook. There were even extra blankets and bedding, making it easy to stay cozy. The hosts were kind, responsive, and never intrusive. Dennis contacted us before our trip to help us prepare and answered all our questions. Since we were flying with only carry-ons, it meant a lot to know what would be there—and even more when we arrived to find the specific items we’d asked about already stocked. The cabin was the perfect home base for rest and reset, and still let us explore the incredible sights, smells, and flavors unique to Downeast Maine. One of our favorite moments was listening to the seals as they fished just off the bank—so peaceful and special. We feel incredibly blessed that the Magees choose to share their home with guests; it’s a rustic cabin, not a polished resort experience—charming, comfortable, and just what we were hoping for.

Very relaxing and charming. Could have been cleaner

I rented this cottage for my parents and this is their review: We stayed for two weeks in late June/July 2025. The home is in a beautiful location and the host communicates clearly and promptly.However, we would not recommend this property for renters mainly due to the lack of storage space. Most closets, drawers, and shelving were already full of the owner’s belongings, leaving very little room for our things—especially in the bathroom and bedroom. Lighting throughout the home was also quite dim, making it hard to unpack or get ready. While the kitchen had some counter space, most cabinets were packed with too many dishes, spices (mostly duplicates), and pantry items left by previous guests. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable, and laundry facilities worked well once we figured out how to turn on the water. The garbage cans were also in the basement - making that nonsensical to use.We didn’t raise these concerns during our stay, as it felt like the space isn’t really set up for guests’ comfort. In summary: great location and host, but better suited to an owner’s personal use than to renters looking for a comfortable, organized stay.
