Peaceful Oceanfront Cabin

Relax in nature at this peaceful log cabin on the ocean. Perfect romantic getaway for couples or a great family friendly retreat! This cozy log cabin is located *right* on the waterfront, only set back a few yards from the gorgeous views overlooking Canada's Deer Island. Spend your days relaxing outside on the ~1 acre property or around the fire-pit, have a picnic on the rocks overlooking the water at high tide, or explore the wide variety of ocean critters that can be found at low tide. The space Welcome to our cozy ~800sq/ft log cabin that is rustic but comfortable and well stocked for a relaxing vacation on the waterfront. First bedroom has a queen bed with a new high quality mattress so that you'll be sleeping comfortably during your stay. There is also small desk that can be used as a work area. Second bedroom has twin bunkbeds, also with new high quality mattresses. The living area is attached to the kitchen and is the perfect place to enjoy being with family or friends. Full bathroom includes washer/dryer to make your stay all that more convenient. On the front deck there's seating and a grill, since we think you'll probably want to do most of your cooking overlooking the gorgeous oceanfront views! A fire-pit with seating and a hammock make the outdoor space a great place to be. We love sitting outside, watching the bald eagles fly by, and searching the water for whale sightings! While the fireplace in the cabin is currently in need of some repairs and should not be used, there is a propane heater in the cabin that can be used on cooler nights and works very effectively to keep the cabin warm. Downtown Eastport has restaurants, art galleries, and a fantastic candy shop that the kids will love. We are happy to provide recommendations for places to find good food or entertainment during your stay. And just a reminder, the cabin is cozy, but RUSTIC! While we try to make the cabin as comfortable as possible for guests (and our family as well, as we are up every summer!), some guests have been surprised to find that the cabin isn’t squeaky clean and “rustic chic”, but actually just a log cabin built by hand out in the wilderness. If this doesn’t sound like the right fit for you or your group, *please* do not book with us. We always try to keep up with maintenance issues as they come up as quickly as possible (again, this is our family’s summer retreat as well so we want it to be an amazing spot to visit!), but minor issues sometimes have to wait until the end of the season to be dealt with. If minor inconveniences will ruin your vacation, then this is not the place for you. We want you to have a fantastic vacation, wherever you choose to stay - life is short and time together with loved ones is so valuable! Guest access You will have access to the entire cabin and 1 acre property, plus enjoy a very private space on the waterfront. Neighbors are few and quiet. Other things to note We get a lot of questions about accessibility for people with mobility issues. It's important to note that the driveway to the cabin is very steep. We do not recommend pulling into the driveway unless you have a reliable 4WD vehicle. There is a parking space at the top of the driveway that should be used for smaller cars, however, guests will then need to walk roughly 25ft down the sloped, crushed stone driveway before reaching the short staircase that leads down to the property. Access to the water is fairly easy for all. There are two short paths from the lawn down to the rocks. The path closer to the fire-pit is fairly flat and easier to travel, and it will bring you down to a space on the rocks that we love to picnic on and swim from (if you can stand the cold water!). Again, this is a rustic, built by hand cabin. We have a wonderful housekeeper, but due to the nature of the building itself, you will not find it completely spotless. We put money into it whenever we can (it’s our family’s summer getaway, so we want it to be as nice as possible!) but we can’t always keep up with minor problems. If you are bothered by minor inconveniences while on vacation (and we totally understand if you are - it’s your hard earned vacation after all!) then *please* do not book with us. The cabin is cozy and in a truly gorgeous spot, but it’s not for those who don’t like to “rough it” to some extent.
