ISLAND VACATION, Canoe 5 minutes to Island and relax

Always wanted to stay on an Island, Cabin Beaver is for you. Sunrises are amazing, peaceful except for the loons, geese, frogs, ducks, soft lapping of the water and sounds of breeze and occasional boats. Kayak and Canoe while exploring Green lake in Front and Boggy Brooke in back. A step up from camping. Hot water outdoor shower, lake water for dishes, Bottled water for drinking, Firepit, Small beach, Comfortable and Serene. Acadia for day trips is 20 miles, grocery and seafood stores 10-15 minutes. Special place for the right people.

Highly recommend staying here!
Loved our stay at Cabin Beaver! Cannot say enough good things about our stay. We went into the week expecting a great time but this place exceeded all of our expectations. Cabin is very well kept and well stocked with all the essentials. Loved our evening and morning sits over looking the lake listening to the loons and watching the bald eagles. Would highly recommend staying here!

It is beautiful and peaceful. Jack and Jennifer were amazing host. The island is beautiful. If you are a nature lover, this place is the best. Our dog loved being free and exploring. It’s the first time I’ve ever been at a rental and honestly didn’t need to go any place else. I am grateful to Jack & Jennifer for allowing us to make these unforgettable memories. God bless.

Peaceful Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and brought our dog along to explore the island (off leash!) We had a great experience through and through. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. The cabin is well-appointed and very comfortable. The directions were very clear. One thing to note - the drive in on backroads is be quite bumpy at one point. We were fine in our SUV, but folks in a lower sedan should proceed carefully. Overall 10/10. Thanks!

Cabin Beaver
We were looking for some thing, adventurous, off the grid, unique, relaxing, and different! Cabin Beaver checked all the boxes and more! Our own island, canoeing to get to it, almost all the comforts of home, warm shower outdoors. It made my husband and I realize we still had adventure in us after 30 years of marriage! It was just what we needed!

Always Wanted to Stay on an Island
We have a great stay on the Isle of Regan. Thanks to warm welcome from Jack soon after we landed on the island, we were ready for our week's stay at the cottage. We enjoyed the company of the pair of loons, the merganser with her seven children, the family of beaver, the red squirrels and the multitude of birds on and around the island. Perfect location for all the hikes and kayaking we had planned for upper coast of Maine. Thanks to Jennifer and Jack for sharing their island with us!

stay in ellsworth
very beautiful but basically very little water at sink and no hot water at kitchen sink so had to bail water out of lake to wash dishes. cramped with other stuff and unorganized, so we had no place to put our luggage. shower outside the hot water rarely worked for both of us. bed upstairs is to cramp and unusable. host was told repeatedly and it was never fixed and we stayed 2 weeks. we had to wash our clothes and the sheets and their towels at local laundry mat. the outhouse that was not composing toilet was more of a potta potty which stunk and was quite a distance from cabin. bed in loft was horrible again was address with owner who are very nice but probably never run a VRBO before. we might stay there again but these problems cause me to get very little sleep. i did get to see the bald eagle and kayak to lake and lagoon but more like camping not glamping.

Unique & peaceful
My husband, miniature schnauzer and I had the best time at Cabin Beaver!!! Location - remote, secluded, peaceful, private, safe, easy to get to. Cabin - meticulous, well equipped, comfortable. The stairs to the loft are steep, but doable. Outhouse - spotless, odorless Outdoor shower - hot, great pressure, reliable, fun to shower outside Many activities to be had on the island and many spots to chill as well!! Coffee on the east side with the rising sun, early swims in the fog rolling off the water surface, kayaking the back marsh and exploring, bird watching, reading in peace on west facing deck, sunsets, firepit, grilling and cooking with ease. The owners, Jennifer and Jack, stay on the island, and are the best hosts. Friendly, but you never see them if you choose not to. Their dog River is an amazing dog and a good girl! She let our 20 pound schnauzer boss her around, and they both loved running around the island unrestricted chasing each other and exploring. Our dog had the time off his life being off leash the whole long weekend and we are so grateful for that! We will definitely be back, what a special place!

Dream Beaver
This little cabin and its gorgeous surroundings was exactly what we needed. It was spectacularly clean and tidy when we arrived. The hosts were out of sight unless we needed them, and then they were there to help. The wail of the loons at dusk and the reflection of the moon off the lake at night were icing on the cake.

Everything was perfect. The hosts are great, very easy to communicate with and have thought of everything to make the stay feel comfortable. The cabin is clean, and has everything you need. The lake was also clean and the water was very warm to swim in. The canoe was a lot of fun. Will be back again!

Peaceful with lots of birds
The camp is very comfortable, neat, tidy and well equipped with everything I needed. It has great cross ventilation so the night air wafts through. I love an outdoor shower and the propane fired, on demand hot water worked flawlessly. The outhouse is well managed, with great air circulation. My cell service provided internet, but I spent a lot of time daydreaming and catching up on my reading. The canoe trip onto the island was a fun little adventure, without any problem and I also enjoyed kayaking and yoga in the early morning. I came to think of it as very deluxe camping with indoor sleeping and outdoor activities. It was a great little break to rest and recoup.

Magical Adventure for Kids
We had such an amazing time at Cabin Beaver! Fishing, canoeing and kayaking, seeing and experiencing all the wildlife, relaxing and playing together… the cabin had it all. Beautiful location in DownEast and close to everything Acadia has to offer, but returning to the cabin each day was a highlight for our young kiddos. Thank you so much Jennifer & Jack for this special getaway.

Charming Cabin by the Lake
A great place to stay if you want to experience camping & lake life with some luxuries like a shower & fully stocked kitchen. The cabin was very comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything to make it very welcoming. Acadia is not too far away but you will probably want to stay on the island to canoe & kayak.

Wonderful Get Away
The hosts were above and beyond kind. The cabin was immaculate and private. My husband and I (and our two Yorkies) enjoyed every second of our stay. Everything that we could need was already in the cabin. We loved the wildlife outside and our opportunity to deepen our connection with God. We would love to return in the future.

Truly wonderful getaway into pure nature
As others have said, pictures do not do justice to the serenity and beauty this island affords. My wife and I absolutely loved walking around the island, canoeing in the lake, and spending the evening around the campfire. Sure, the bed upstairs is kinda small and the outside shower isn't great, but those minor inconveniences is more than made up for by everything else. Unless those creature comforts are the chief pleasures of a getaway, you will love this place. And Acadia Ntl Park is a really easy drive of about 30 minutes.

My fiancé and I recently visited cabin beaver mid September, amazing experience and can’t wait to go back. Very clean, cozy, and comfortable. The island is beautiful, lake side for the stunning sunrise and the brook side for some fantastic kayaking. Don’t let the canoe ride across the beautiful green lake sway you because it’s simple and very quick. We even accomplished it in the dark after we went to dinner! We can’t wait to return, we absolutely adore our memories from our experience.

Exceeded expectations
We had a wonderful time at Cabin Beaver. Instructions on where to park & how to get to the island were easy to understand. Taking a canoe to your camp is so much fun! The cabin had everything we needed and more. Bed was comfy, kitchen was well stocked with pots & utensils, & everything was tidy. We enjoyed taking the canoe out, birdwatching, swimming, and making a campfire. Our dogs were in heaven and it put us at ease that our curious puppy couldn’t run off - there’s nowhere to go when you’re on an island! We had a perfect long weekend and can’t wait to visit again!
