Cozy little cottage
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.

Great rustic cabin overlooking Frenchman’s Bay
Loved the cabin - it was perfect for our family. We were happy to be out of town and on the water, beds were comfy and the cabin clean. Had enough pots and pans, utensils to cook meals.

Family summer vacation
This was the first time we visited Maine, and Maine did not disappoint. Spruce met all our needs and Peter was the perfect host. He was quick to answer all my questions/ texts as well as fix the outside deck light. The house had everything we needed to make our own meals and hang out at night playing cards. Also having a house on the beach was a great way to spend time fishing or walking or just sitting Spruce is in the perfect location to Bar Harbor, Acadia, National Park, as well as the surrounding areas. We loved our dinners from Mainely barbecue, as well as Sweet Peas. C-Rays lobster was the best around. I highly recommend Spruce to anybody visiting the Bar Harbor area and wanting to wake up every morning to hear the ocean waves on the beach. I am sure we will return one day and hope to stay at Spruce again. Thanks Peter and team for ensuring a wonderful vacation.

Perfect Pre-Graduation Rustication
Spruce Chalet was everything we needed it to be, while spending a brief period of down time with our son between his final exams and college graduation from RPI, as he enjoyed hiking familiar trails from past vacations. The cabin was just as described, cozy, comfortable, and clean, the consummately perfect place to rusticate on Mount Desert Isle. Take a book, enjoy the views, and make the most of one of the best National Parks in the eastern United States. Thanks to Peter for his exceptional communication.

Rustic cabin with beautiful views surrounded by woods
Peter was such a kind host. We had a wonderful stay in his clean, rustic cabin. The seaviews were beautiful. It is located high above the beach, where you can explore interesting tidepools and collect the most delicious fresh mussels for dinner. The kitchen was well equipped for gourmet cooking. The beds very comfortable with skylights above, where you can see a million stars at night! It is six miles from downtown Bar Harbor and close to all parts of Acadia National Park. The cabin has a rustic charm. The bathroom is basic, but there is a good supply of hot water. There is a firepit in the woods right outside. We will definitely stay in this lovely cabin again!

Modest cabin with good location
The spruce chalet is a modest, rustic cabin in a great location on the water, near Acadia. The doors to bedrooms and bathrooms do not provide full privacy, as they do not close well and have gaps. Mattresses in room with bunks were very uncomfortable. The cabin was dark and needed additional lighting-difficult to even play cards in the evening. No heat in bedrooms (chilly at night) and cabin seemed to lack insulation. Only had two rolls of toilet paper for a week stay. Location allows for convenient tide pooling opportunities. Overall, great location, but cabin was not as nice as expected.

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.

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.

Escape to nature
I was drawn to this location because of its rustic setting. Great quiet location just outside of busy Bar Harbor. For any nature lover, this is a great location. Lots of bird watching including Bald Eagles and also seals in the water just to name a couple of things. Very adequate kitchen to cook meals. A few restaurants close to the house but plenty in nearby Bar Harbor. There’s a general store just across from Chart House (both close) that has the most amazing baked goods. You’re very close to the Acadia park entrance. The house has great views to the water from either the large porch or inside looking through the large wall of windows. Plenty of fans supplied during those more seemingly common hot days in Maine since house doesn’t have AC. When the tide is low, you can walk the beach in either direction with Hadley point (and beach) close…one of the best spots to see the sun set. The house also has a great view of the sun rise each morning.

Terrific cabin on the water close to Bar Harbor
We had a wonderful family vacation at Spruce. The house is secluded but the steps lead right down to the bay. The house is a rustic cabin with 2 bedrooms. The bedding is very comfortable. The bathroom is small but the Rinnai placed right above the shower provides for plenty of hot water. The views of the bay from the deck are killer. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner and it was clear he cares about his guests and will address any issues should they arise. Great house!

Little piece of heaven in Maine
We enjoyed our 5 night stay in Spruce chalet with 2 teens and a dog. It was wonderful working with Peter, the owner. Great communication. Cozy rustic chalet with modern amenities. Very clean and comfortable. Location is great for easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Amazing views from deck for sunrise and sunset from the private shoreline . Private shoreline access via steps for exploring tidal pools during low tide and abundant quantities of mussels , fresh to pick and steam and enjoy on the deck. Watched lobster boats going our early am from deck. Saw eagle in trees right off deck and watched lobster boats in the bay. Relaxing on the deck and enjoying the views of the bay was definitely a highlight for us! We will be back!

Location, Location, Location!
Peter's cabin was perfect for our week in Bar Harbor. Not only is the location convenient for all the places we wanted to visit, but the views each morning and evening were spectacular! The cabin had everything we needed, although we did not cook, so I cannot comment on the kitchen supplies. It was quite cold, and the heaters did a good job of keeping up with the chill. I would comment that, while the listing says there are two bathrooms, one of them is an outdoor shower, and it was too cold to even consider. So, really there is just one bathroom. Bedrooms were comfortable, and we LOVED watching the starrs through the huge skylights. Would love to return on our next visit to MDI. Thanks, Peter, for your graciousness and communication throughout our stay.

A Wonderful Rustic Cottage with a Spectacular View
My husband and I loved our stay at Peter's cottage. The location is convenient for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view of Mt. Desert Narrows. Peter provided a wealth of information regarding the cottage and area and remained in contact with us from the time of booking. The caretaker checked in on us as well. The cabin has everything needed for a comfortable stay, however, we do think it would be tight for 5 people. It should also be noted that there is no clothes washer and dryer which was fine as we read prior reviews and planned accordingly. We would definitely go back!
