A fantastic jumping-off point for Acadia adventures
We loved staying at The Pines: cozy, quiet, and the perfect size for three adults and our well-behaved dog. I'd love to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is rustic but charming and had everything we needed, and was close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We hope to be back!

The Pines does make a wonderful "base of operations" and a great place to recover at the end of the day.

Cozy cottage close to Bar Harbor!
The cottage was cozy, lovely, and exactly what we needed! Super convenient location, but nice and secluded and far enough away from town to be quiet and peaceful. Our favorite place to stay in Bar Harbor so far!

Wonderful Vacation!
We absolutely loved staying at the cabin. Everything was as advertised and the setting was picturesque. The cabin was relaxing and quiet and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We can’t wait to get back to Maine! Kevin was a fantastic host!
