This is a gorgeous spot outside of Acadia national Park. The sunsets are incredible. I can’t speak to the cabin as I set up a tent, but I did make my dinner on the fire pit every evening and found plenty of wood on site for the it. The hammock was a really nice place to relax after a long hike too. I would return to this site in a heartbeat!

Sunset Timber Tent

Beautiful distant view of the ocean. Wide open space is great for the dog to run around. Rustic cabin is tiny but sweet! I love the design. Loved the fold down desk at the lovely window. I only wish there had been a second chair so we could play games. when cold or rainy. The picnic table is great. Outhouse is comfortable and close. We were cold mid october but we kind if expected that. The futon is much smaller than it appears in the photos. It seemed smaller than a full, larger than a twin and very very firm. We left a night early because the sleeping was too uncomfortable for us, but it would work well for young folks. Bring not only flashlights, but a lantern for inside. There were stringed lights, but they did not function. There were some other helpful supplies there, but everything needed batteries which we didn't bring. I would love to return now that i know exactly what to bring and i hope this helps future guests. I would also buy wood nearby because you will quickly burn through the dead wood that you pick up around the site. You need some nice dry hardwood to keep your campfire going. This setting is peaceful and relaxing. Lots of privacy. Great way to avoid the crowds of Bar Harbor.

Beautiful property, loved having the campfire with the grate for cooking and the cast iron pans. We found it very easily.

I loved hipcaming at Alisa’s cabin. The views were amazing and it was affordable. We just brought an air mattress to sleep in the cabin and blankets because it gets cold at night. This is a great place to stay on the Schoodic side of Acadia national park.
