Nice cabin in the woods
The house is a charming log cabin located deep in the woods of a sparsely populated part of Mt Desert Island. It has a nice but small private pond behind the house.
The house is overall nice, but definitely has some quirks and inaccurate listing details. Contrary to the listing, it does NOT have a hot tub. The upstairs bathroom has the most unusual “bath tub” I have ever seen - it is about 30”x30” and nearly 3’ deep. It is so tall they had to build a step next to it to get in. I would NOT want to let a smaller child take a bath or shower in it unsupervised due to its depth. It has a shower head, but the standing area in the tub is maybe 18” wide so you can barely turn around in it. For this reason, no one used it and everyone took showers in the downstairs bathroom (which is a relatively normal bathroom).
There is an outdoor grill, but had no propane.
Internet is good; without it there is very limited cell coverage in this area (Verizon).
The washer/dryer is a stacked unit, located in the first floor bathroom partially in front of the vanity; this makes the bathroom rather small due to its size.
Home is nicely furnished with suitable kitchen appliances and such.
The house is not air conditioned. There are a couple fans in the rooms. It’s probably logical to be un-air conditioned for 10-11 months out of the year, but during our visit the weather was rather hot & very humid. Would benefit from AC.
Overall a good cabin but far from perfect.
