Quintessential Maine, the way life should be! Of course, your dog is welcome!

New last year, even faster Starlink internet!

Aspen Cabin has been a rental for many years where families come back to enjoy their Maine summer and make great memories. Our summer months tend to be booked a year in advance.

Come enjoy this beautiful log cabin, sandy beach- Little Tunk Pond retreat! Aspen Cabin is surrounded by Schoodic and Black Mountains on a very private setting that allows you to think that you have this pond all to yourself! 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms will give your family plenty of space to relax inside or outside on the screened in porch after a day of hiking or visiting Acadia National Park. Outside you will find that we have a grill, great wooden swing, a fenced in area to let your dogs go for a run, 3 kayaks and a canoe. A great solo stove to sit around and have smores. If fishing is more your style we have plenty of that, with salmon and trout in Little Tunk. Maybe you would like to go for a swim, this pond is great for that and Big Tunk is just a short walk away! We have a generator all hooked up to immediately switch over if power is ever lost. Aspen Cabin is here to offer you the peace of getting away in the woods while still maintaining all of the comforts of home! We are 45-60 minutes away from Bar Harbor and 20 minutes away from the Schoodic Peninsula.

Peace and Relaxation
I can not say enough about the cabin. Shasta was so easy to work with and provided all the details we needed. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and our 2 dogs. The property felt completely private. We enjoyed the peace and privacy but also walks along the property and also were close enough to Bar Harbor, Castine, and Schoodic. The kayaks and paddle boats were so much fun and the lake was crystal clear. The fireplace was amazing for little fires to start the day with out coffee. :). The location was great, groceries and activities are easily accessible. We did not want to leave and hope to return soon and stay longer. Thanks again Shasta for everything.

Amazing house!
We loved our stay at this property! Super relaxing and had everything we needed. Kayaking and spending time on the lake was the best part. It made being an hour from Acadia and Bar Harbor more than worth it. Shasta was a great host and extremely accommodating. I will definitely be back!

Our family had the best time at the cabin. The kids swam and fished in the lake while the adults enjoyed watching them and the scenery from the shore. The cabin felt private yet we were close enough to Bar Harbor.

Beautiful, relaxing lakefront, Memorial Weekend getaway !!
Aspen Cabin was perfect; everything was just as it was advertised! Very clean and well stocked with everything you need. The views were beautiful very serene and relaxing! Little Tunk pond was great and very clean. My dogs loved swimming in it, my husband loved fishing, canoeing and I just enjoyed sitting at the lake and relaxing. We enjoyed taking small little walks around the neighborhood. Shasta was an amazing host. She was easy to commutate with, very helpful and checked in on us to see how it was going. The Wifi wasn't working when we got there, but Shasta did let us know before hand, but between Shasta and the owner Chris they were very accommodating and very responsive of fixing the Wifi the following day, which my husband and I were very appreciative, that Chris came to replace it with a new Wifi. I would defiantly recommend Apsen Cabin as a great vacation rental. We would defiantly rent it again but maybe next time we would bring our kids, or I should say young adults. I know they would love it!! The only thing I would recommend is maybe bring a broom especially if you have dogs. Apsen Cabin does have a very nice vacuum which I used every day, but I like to use a broom, especially when there is staircases, it's just easier for me. This is Defiantly Not a complaint by all means it's just a preference for me. I have been know to bring my own broom sometimes lol. Five stars all the way!!!

The cabin was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our family of 5 to stretch out. The kids nicknamed it frog lake due to all of the frogs that would hang out under the kayaks. There are a few other cabins within a close proximity, but we rarely saw or heard anybody. It felt like we had the lake all to ourselves. We need to come back when the sky is clear so we can sit out at night and look at the stars.

Peace, Quiet, and Beauty
My husband and I started visiting the Bar Harbor region in 1986. We come back every couple of years, with our kids now, because we love the area so much. Each place we rent for the week has unique characteristics that make it different from the previous. Aspen Cabin is the perfect spot for those looking for peace and quiet. The cabin was extremely clean, very well appointed, and aesthetically pleasing. The views from the back of the house, of the pond (it is more like a small lake) and the mountains, are stunning, especially during sunset. There is a nice well maintained yard area with beautiful cinnamon ferns and evergreens bordering. There are only a handful of homes on this pond and the week we were there, none of them were occupied. We had the whole pond to ourself, heaven. During our stay we saw multiple porcupines on the drive in and out of the property, loons (their cry in the evening is magical), a bald eagle at the far side of the pond, and a very cheeky couple of squirrels who were annoyed by our presence, lol. This property is close to Schoodic Peninsula, but a little bit of a drive to Bar Harbor, so take that into account when planning your day. There is an 87 mile gravel multi-use/bike path, the Down East Sunrise Trail, not too far from the property that we biked a few days. We had our street bike and trike, so the going was a little rough, but the rides were beautiful. One direction we rode through some marshy bogs with osprey nests and beaver lodges. The other direction took us to a scenic old steel bridge crossing a beautiful river with small white water cataracts. The trail can be used by walkers, bike riders, horseback riders, and ATV riders. Hybrid or mountain bikes would be better for this trail. A few caveats about the cabin. First, it is a drive to get anywhere, that is why it is so wonderfully quiet and relaxing when on property. Second, the upstairs master is at the top of a steeper than normal staircase with shorter than normal treads and no banister to grab for the upper 1/3 of it. Some with mobility issues would find it difficult to navigate. The main level bedrooms would be a better choice. Third, this property is managed by Shasta, who was more than willing to help us with any issues we experienced during our stay. I can’t say enough about how nice it was to experience that level of commitment to making our stay comfortable.

Awesome experience!!!
The cabin is very well kept. The screened in porch is very nice for sitting outside and looking at the lake. The fenced in pet area is also very nice. My 2 dog’s had a blast out there running and playing. The lake is also good for fishing. It is very peaceful At night it is very dark. The WiFi is very fast. It’s nice that it has WiFi because cell phones don’t have any service there. There is a landline in the house for calls. The cabin is very pet friendly. They even have a glass jar of dog bones in the cabin. Plus a few dog bowls out on the porch. I highly recommend this cabin. I’m looking forward to going back next year!!!

It was an amazing relaxing experience for us and our dog. The host provided all the amenities needed for the lake and home, with the added bonus of a dog pen that connects to the stairs of the top deck. Instant access to the lake with a beautiful view from the top deck or from any angle. The inside balcony to deck is very unique and provides the view To the downstairs.

Perfect quiet getaway
We rented this cabin for 4 nights and it was absolutely perfect. The pond that it's on is calm and clear. We had friends and their 2 boys stay with us for 2 nights and the kids loved swimming in the pond and taking the kayaks out. We even tried our hand at fishing! My husband and I were there by ourselves for the rest of the time and it was a perfect quiet vacation. We had a fire each night and spent mornings with coffee on the screened porch. The bed was comfy and I slept well with the windows wide open and a nice breeze. The cabin is well stocked and we were able to cook and grill and have room for everyone around the table. Everything we needed was there! The cabin is about 20 mins to Schoodic and 45 or so from Bar Harbor, so an easy trip to either for the day.

We had the best time! The cabin was everything the website said it would be. Very clean, in good condition and had beautiful decorations ! Plenty of room for a big family. The location was excellent, in a private area away from the town but perfect for peaceful relaxation. The pond was beautiful with calm ,clear, pristine water. Having the kayaks there ready to go was such a treat, especially early in the morning and at sunset! The only downside was having to drive about 30 min to find a restaurant to eat, but you can also get your own groceries and prepare your food since there's everything you need at the cabin. It was the best choice we've made for a vacation spot and will be definetely be coming back next year!

Our family of 5 loved everything about this property! It was so helpful to have linens and towels provided, laundry facilities, and even firewood for s’mores! The sandy beachfront on the secluded lake made kayaking with the provided kayaks easy and accessible for everyone. This property is just the perfect lakefront house tucked away in a quiet wooded area! Great communication from owner and easy check in and check out. Would return in a heartbeat!
