It was a perfect spot for our family of 5. The view was amazing. You could walk right out the door and walk down the stairs to Frenchman Bay. It was also close to everything - Bar Harbor, Southport. We had a great time!

We loved the location and view from this cozy cabin. It was the perfect spot to relax after hikes and a short drive to Bar Harbor for dinner, coffee or breakfast. We enjoyed dinner at Sweet Pea the first night and lobster rolls at Lund’s the next day. Otherwise we tried several places in Bar Harbor which were all good; cafe this way, side street cafe, Blaze and Galyn’s. Also, Peter was a great host.

Great rustic cabin overlooking Frenchman’s Bay

Spruce chalet was great little spot to stay in Acadia for our 3 teen (14, 14, and 16)boys and us. Close to the park and downtown Bar Harbor. Great water views! The house really had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked. Peter was very responsive for anything that came up.

Wonderful cabin

The cabin is beautiful, right on the water. It's rustic and I wouldn't want to explore MDI in other way! We had a baby with us, but his afternoon naps and early morning risings. were much more enjoyable with the beautiful view from the cabin.

Perfect for us!

This little cabin was the perfect getaway for my husband and I. Peter was so helpful-giving us great suggestions and guiding us as navigating to Bar Harbor for the first time. The canine was fully stocked, super cozy and the view was spectacular. The morning sunrise was glorious. The location was perfect for our stay the area to fully explore Acadia. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful stay

Beautiful property with water views and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We thought it was perfect for two but could also comfortably fit a family of 4-5. Peter was responsive and provided many useful recommendations to make our stay more enjoyable. Kitchen is well equipped. We would certainly stay again when in the area.

Cozy little cottage on the lake! We greatly enjoyed our home away from home. It is tiny but it was just what we needing in a landing pad for our day hiking trips in beautiful Acadia. There were some plumbing issues while we were staying there, but Peter got right on fixing it.

We had an amazing stay at the Spruce chalet!

Our family loved this little cabin - while tiny, it had all we needed and was truly the perfect location to explore Acadia and Mount Desert Island. We enjoyed the drive to and from the park and Bar Harbor. We also loved having Sweat Pea's and C-Rays so close and ate at Sweat Pea's twice! The lovely view, my daily yoga and coffee on the deck, the direct access to the stairs down to the shore, exploring the shore and water during low tide; we truly loved the stay. Thanks for sharing the chalet!!

Views off the porch were stunning, The place was super cute and rustic as we expected. Great location and our favorite restaurants were all very near by. The shower however is like bathing with a straight jacket on...maybe worse than that. That is the only reason we would not return.

Peaceful Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Spruce Chalet at Shore Haven. The chalet was simple, comfortable, quiet, in a beautiful setting, and convenient. It was perfect for us. We were vacationing with friends who were camping nearby, and also had friends visit for part of the week. This place fit our needs quite well. Communication with the owner about accessing and using the chalet was excellent. It was convenient to the island bus route and points around Bar Harbor and Acadia, but out of the hubbub. It was a wonderful place to spend the week.
