We absolutely loved our stay here! It was stocked so well and there were all sorts of Maine decor. We really enjoyed the porch, fire pit and grill and it was nice being on the quiet side of the island. Helen was extremely communicative and even replaced the grill immediately upon us realizing the old one wasnât working. We highly recommend!!
Had a lot great hikes especially up to Cadillac mountain to see the sunrise which was awesome. The cabin was perfect very clean. Well stocked with kitchen supplies and everything else we basically needed enjoyed my stay very much
I've honestly lost count of exactly how many times we've stayed at Helen's cabin. We keep coming back because it's really lovely. Comfy, cozy in the right places, open and airy in the right places. It's hard to imagine visiting MDI and Not staying here.
The cabin was clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well stocked. The owner was kind and responsive. The only caveat is while we were there, there were 3-4 nights the temps got down to 40 outside and we could not keep the cabin to a comfortable temp. We used the wood stove ( and had plenty of firewood) ,but couldnât seem to get the place warm. There were space heaters , but we didnât feel safe sleeping with them on , especially with toddlers. We ended up taking turns staying awake so that we could have the space heaters on, which did help. There are also electric blankets , but we did not have the toddlers use those either. Would definitely recommend staying here during warmer months because it is a nice cabin, we just werenât able to keep it warm.
Overall a great stay! I dont think its the himeowners fault but google maps does bring you to the wrong house so that was confusing. The only other thing is we were wondering was instructions for dirty bedding and where they wanted the trash.
We had a pleasant stay , kitchen well stocked with dishes, cooking pans and nice variety of spices. The location was great, not too far from Acadia and many great places to visit. We had several enjoyable evenings around the fire pit. Definitely a low key, relaxing place to stay.
My husband and I grew up in Pretty Marsh and then lived away for most of our adult life. We always came back to visit our families and to spend our summers here in Pretty Marsh. My father build this cabin for my husband Niffie and me and our three daughters. We have shared many fun nights, parties and memories here and now hope that others can make their own memories. It was so nice to come back and slow down. From swimming in the ponds and lakes, boating, hiking and picking blueberries and having my mother bake her famous blueberry pie. We love the location of Pretty Marsh and being closer to the quiet side of the Island but still just a short drive to the other towns. Hope you will enjoy staying here as much as we did for so many years. Helen
