An amazing find
Such a cute spot to stay. Surry, Maine is a quiet small town and our VRBO was nestled in a small cluster of homes right up against Contention Cove. Two minute walk to the beach, all the necessary amenities will definitely make this a place to come back to!

Rustic cozy get away
I was there for a month. The weather was chilly and rainy for my first week and a half so I had to rely on the space heater. The rest of the time the box fans helped with the humidity. A split system AC/ heat pump would be helpful, especially if you have allergies, as I do. The cottage had pretty much all one would need and help was available if needed.

Peaceful getaway in the Maine woods
Oh, how we loved this cabin! We have stayed at rental cabins all around the U.S. and this is one of the very best and a new favorite! We never met our hosts in person (which is fine), but we felt very well taken care of because the house is so welcoming, clean, and well stocked with everything we could possibly have needed during our week-long stay. We appreciated the super easy check-in/check-out process, the generous supplies provided by the host, and the incredible, private, charming location. The cabin is tucked away in a cute hillside, wooded neighborhood in Contention Cove and was easy to find with GPS. We loved every single detail about the cabin; it’s so charming and homey. We had our dog with us, and enjoyed walking along the quiet gravel roads in the neighborhood and down to the beach. (The path is well-maintained but a little steep for folks who are not so steady on their feet; just take it slow. My 80-year-old mother made it down there, just going very carefully and using a walking stick for extra balance.) It was easy to open up several windows in the cabin for some fresh forest air at night and we did not have any problem sleeping comfortably without air-conditioning. The shower was hot, the beds were comfortable, and the full kitchen was well-stocked. Pretty much, everything was perfect about our stay. The only problem was that we eventually had to leave! :) Thank you kindly to the Caddoo family for sharing this wonderful family summer home with us!

We loved this cabin. It was a rustic, simple, quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing. We would go all day touring and then come back and relax in this quiet atmosphere. It was very clean and accommodating. The host even brought us some farm fresh eggs.

Perfect Getaway!
My family was visiting Maine for the first time and Hobby Horse was the perfect location for our getaway. We enjoyed our time at the cabin just as much as being out. The beach access was fun to explore at low tide. The whole place was plenty big for the theee of us. We had windows opened at night as it was warm during the way, but with fans we slept great. The pictures don't do this listing justice, it's is very quaint and nice!

What a great stay! Cabin had a rustic feel with nice modern amenities like wifi full fridge and small gas stove/oven. It was Very neat and clean. The property had a gas grill and picinic table out front. Easy access to main road and only 15 min to Walmart and 30-45 to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who would like a quiet place to escape to after exploring all this area has to offer!

The dreamiest cottage ever
This is the second time we stayed at the Hobby Horse and we will definitely come back. The location is A+ with access to a beautiful private beach. The cottage has a lot of character with plenty of towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and wonderful hang out spots (our favorite is breakfast on the porch). Highly highly recommended.

Access to the beach to launch our Kayak is great, we left our kayak on the beach without any issues.. Dog friendly a bid plus, she also had a great time. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Wonderful cabin
The cabin is very cozy and clean. It is really well-maintained. Everything you need is there. The only not-very-pleasant experience was meeting the owner. We were late checking out. It was totally my fault because I thought it was at 11am (but it was at 10am) and the owner was a bit rude about that. May be she was in a bad mood this morning. Otherwise, we had a fabulous stay!

We loved the charming cabin, the short walk to the beach, the quiet, and the proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Despite the hot weather, the cabin stayed cool. The bedrooms were very well furnished and the master bed itself was really comfy- firm mattress which was great for my back. All in all, this was a wonderful getaway for a relaxing vacation. We will definitely come back! Thank you! Maggie

My sister, roommate, and I loved our stay at Hobby Horse! It was a great location for visiting Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Castine. We all loved walking the quiet beach in the evenings. We were able to observe sea stars, crabs, snails, and hermit crabs along the shore! The kitchen was also well stocked with everything we needed for simple meals. Cheri was very communicative throughout the process.

Very clean, nice location, kitchen was well supplied for cooking family meals. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Only drawback was an extremely worn out bed. Woke up to a sore back every day. Would have given 5 stars overall if not for that.
