Islesford Cabin | Cabin Retreat for Two on Islesford, Little Cranberry Island

1 Bedroom Cabin in Islesford

Nestled in the woods on a small island easily accessed by ferry, our "tiny" cabin offers island serenity with all the essentials. Small in size, yet perfect for two- enjoy the porch swing or its wicker chairs for a peaceful afternoon with a book or walk your coffee to Gilley Beach and watch the sun rise, just a few hundred yards down the road. The dining table easily accommodates 4 should you want to invite your new island friends over for drinks or dinner!
The Cabin offers a full bathroom with oversize shower with paper goods, soap, and towels provided. A well-equipped kitchen offers a two-burner cooktop, fridge, microwave/convection combo, toaster, keurig coffee maker with pods, and handheld mixer along with all the pots and pans, dishes, and silverware one could need. A Weber Gas grill and single burner lobster cooker are just outside the cabin for all your favorite grilled meals. The queen bed in the loft is accessed by a spiral staircase. A queen sleeper is also available on the main floor for those that prefer to avoid stairs. Modern conveniences such as quality high speed wifi, a smart tv with your favorite apps, heat and AC blend with aged driftwood accents and birch sapling railings to create a calm, cozy, yet very comfortable place to retreat to while still feeling connected to the world at large on whatever level you choose.
The cabin is near the main house making us easily accessible for all questions about island life, lobstering, off-island adventures (such as Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor), and what it's like to winter in Maine yet still provides all the privacy you would want. Paul loves to offer a free pair of lobsters to all our guests, fresh off his lobster boat in order to fully immerse in the Maine island experience. It's a 10-12 minute walk (or 5 minute bike ride) to the Town Dock where the ferry lands and departs every two hours in the summer- providing easy access to Acadia and its truly infamous Rockefeller carriage roads and trails- but please know we always greet our guests at the dock upon arrival to transport luggage and groceries and provide a warm welcome to the island. On the mainland the Island Explorer FREE bus service departs from the ferry pier regularly to allow all visitors full access to Acadia without the hassle of looking for parking. We do, however, offer a free, designated parking spot on the mainland, adjacent to the ferry pier, for the duration of our guest's stay. The short, very scenic ferry ride amongst the Cranberry Isles on the passenger "mailboat" is considered by many to be one of the more memorable highlights of any visit to our island.
The island is home to a locally-renowned hot spot, The Islesford Dock Restaurant. Also on Islesford are Islesford Pottery, several art galleries, several museums, and a gift shop. A library and post office are just a 5-7 min walk. Further, a summer night ferry (several nights to 6 nights a week depending upon the month) offers easy access to the bustle of Bar Harbor and the carriage roads of Acadia National Park while at the same time allowing the quiet ocean waves to lull you to sleep once you return.

Summary: It was exactly what we were looking for. Very clean and cozy. This is the first time, at the end of a vacation that I didn't look forward to going back to my own bed. My wife and I didn't use this stay as a way to visit the coast and see the sights. We used it as a place to get away. The island is isolated and it was exactly what we wanted. It is not an island of the rich. It is an island of the working man. The restaurant was great. We went there 3 times. The breakfast treats were outstanding. The ferry rides were a treat instead of a chore. Paul's lobsters were delicious. We took walks on the beach (we had the entire beach to ourselves). We watched lobsterman bring in their catch. We met new friends in our hosts Joanne and Paul. If you want time away, but not in a touristy way, this is your place. We did spend a day in Bar Harbour doing the tourist thing and that was fun, but it wasn't the highlight of our trip.

Summary: This cabin was absolutely perfect. Just what we needed. A few minute walk to a beautiful beach filled with amazing rocks and wildlife. All the neighbors were so friendly. The hosts went out of their way to make sure our stay was perfect. We learned how to cook, lobster and had breakfast waiting for us every morning. Fresh baked scones, muffins, yogurt, parfait with fresh berries, and homemade granola, the best bread pudding I have ever had in my life. Just a few reasons why you need to run to book this stay. We got a ride from the dock when we arrived to bring all of our luggage to the cabin. We got a ride when we departed so we didn’t have to carry our luggage. I wish we had more time to spend with the hosts, they are so friendly and so kind and extremely generous and , I miss them.

Summary: The perfect trip, the perfect cabin, the perfect hosts. What else can I say? This was the best rental I have ever stayed in by a mile. We just wanted a relaxing place to stay in Maine, what we found is our new favorite destination. The cabin is perfect, clean, beautiful and secluded. It is on an island and you can only get there by boat, but the ferries that serve it are frequent and super easy to use. Frankly, that only added to the fun and experience. The hosts are the most accommodating and considerate people you will ever meet. I almost booked a different place but saw this one just in time. Wow how fortunate I am. Our trip would have been fine if we had stayed at an ordinary place but this rental made it unforgettable. I can’t wait to return. And eat more lobsters!

Summary: The cabin set in the woods and just a short walk to the shore was a great little getaway for my wife and I. Joanne and Paul were, by far, the best landlords we have encountered. Their gracious attention to every detail, and may supprises that we didn't expect that they provided made our trip to Maine the best that it could have been.

Summary: First and foremost, Joanne and Paul were the most amazing hosts we’ve ever had. There was no detail put into the cabin or their hospitality left unnoticed. The breakfasts every morning were filling, delicious, and much appreciated! Not having to cook breakfast allowed us to sleep in on the most comfortable bed ever! The island- it’s the perfect spot for a proper getaway. Not only was it the safest I’ve ever felt in my adult life, it was so peaceful and calm. Everyone was really kind - it was such a quaint and close knit community. This time of year (mid-September) was the perfect fall weather. We enjoyed a couple of days meandering around the island and relaxing at the cabin, and then we did two day trips to Acadia. Once you’re off the ferry, it’s a quick drive into the main part of Acadia. We ventured further to the Schoodic Peninsula and it was so worth it - the views were incredible. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to rest on the days you’re not exploring Acadia, please do yourself a favor and book Joanne and Paul’s cabin. We cannot wait to return!

Summary: Joanne and Paul provide an elevated experience from start to finish and the cabin is wonderful! Very well equipped - they have thought of everything. We thoroughly enjoyed using Islesford as our home base to explore Acadia/MDI. Just as much, we loved exploring Islesford and learning all about its rich history. Using the mailboat ferry was fun and easy and, in our opinion, added to the experience. We absolutely plan on returning to this magical cabin!

Summary: We had an amazing time staying at this tiny cabin! Very clean, well stocked, and everything you could possibly need. We left the island everyday in the ferry to explore Acadia and other nearby areas and then spent mornings and evenings on Little Cranberry Island. AC works wonderful for the hot muggy days. The morning treats that Joanne made every morning were always a yummy treat! Super nice and responsive hosts, would definitely stay again if in the area!! It is a little piece of Paradise to stay here!! The only suggestion that would make it over the top, is bikes to use while staying on the island!

Summary: We had such a magical stay! My partner and I stayed for 8 nights and I wished we had stayed longer. The cabin was clean, so comfortable and has everything you may need. Joanne is a gem and makes sure that your stay is great from start to finish. The ferry was super easy to catch to get on and off island. We can't wait to book again for next summer. If you have found this cabin available to book, you should definitely book it.
