We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay at Pine Cone more! Lucy is the ultimate host! She met us at the cabin when we arrived, making sure that we were happy, comfortable, and knew where everything was located. The cabin itself is absolutely perfect! Gorgeous, exceptionally clean, and right out of your imagination of what a cabin in Maine should be! The sleeping lofts were such a fun part of our trip, with two of our kids sleeping on either side. The bathroom is large and very well stocked, and the shower/bath is an absolute luxury at the end of a day of playing in that gorgeous lake. The kitchen was very well-stocked, extremely clean, and even had all of the spices that we could need for running the grill outside - a Weber that produced perhaps the best steaks we’ve ever had!
As for the dock/lake/boats… Well, It couldn’t have been more perfect! We spent hours sitting on the dock, listening to the loons and enjoying the views. We swam in the lake, kayaked around the many small islands, and simply enjoyed the cool waters and beautiful granite boulders that surrounded us. Lucy provided a variety of sizes of paddles and lifejackets for our use.
We also appreciated the well-stocked laundry room. For kids adventuring around main produce laundry!!!! tide pods and a large Toploader were available and ready for us. That was extremely nice!
Fun things to do: we were about 50 minutes away from Bar Harbor, passing through lots of small villages with fun seafood restaurants, delicious ice cream shops, and a plethora of adventures! We went whale watching (found a whole pod of humpbacks!), waded through the tide pools at bar island (starfish!), camped in Acadia national Park (amazing!), hiked the trails (bring shoes w/grip for the rocks!), checked out Thunder Hole where we did some rock climbing, and even got to enjoy the first sunrise in America in Acadia national Park.
We can’t thank Lucy enough for making our trip so special. She felt like family, and we can’t wait to return! Thanks Lucy!
