Guest House

We had a lovely stay on the last week of season at this property. The evenings were cool, but we were cozy in the cabin with the electric heaters and the wood burning stove. The kitchen was very well equipped which allowed us to prepare meals required since we were staying with our dog - also a big plus for us at the cabin. Kevin was easy to communicate with and gave us several suggestions of favorite hikes with dogs. The cabin is basic, but comfortable and in a great location for travels to the National Park and other points on MDI. Highly recommended for a couple or small family with a dog(s).

Cute cabin

The home was adorable and cozy, the owners were extremely helpful and it was just a few mins from everything we needed to do. We loved sitting by the wood stove and spending family time in the evening after night fishing and shell searching.

Acadia Week

Cabin location is magnificent, large deck and sitting area right on water with easy access to rocky beach. View sunrise on water. Close to Acadia Hulls Cove Visitor Center. Cabin is rustic but clean and tidy, loved wood-burning stove, large deck, and easy access driveway.

Great location in rustic cabin

Great location with shore views from balcony and a short walk to a shore deck and stairs down to the rocky beach. Very quiet, far from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, but close enough quick trip there for meals, cruises etc. Minutes drive from Acadia park entrance. Great family room and kitchen/dinning area. The only reason we gave 4 stars overall is that the bathroom is very small, and the light fixture over the kitchen sink kept falling when we turned it on and off. The owner and the manager were very responsive and kind. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Nealon

My mom and dad started vacationing at Baycliff over 50 years ago. At that time we’d drive up from New Jersey (Metuchen, exit 10) and spend two weeks. I remember going deep sea fishing, hiking, sight seeing and all the other touristy things. Though I think my favorite activity was skipping rocks into the sea. Not that easy with waves and wind. In 1973 the property went up for sale and my dad immediately purchased it. Then we started staying a month at a time in the main house, which, back then, wasn’t much larger than the cabins. One year we brought up all seven of our cats and a raccoon that I was fostering! We’ve been renting the two cabins for over 40 years now years now. The above picture is myself, my two daughters and my mom, who has been taking care of the cabins during the summer. Mt. Desert Island features may attractions. If you ride a bicycle, the carriage roads are amazing! If you like to hike, the hiking trails are amazing! If you like to bird, we have humming birds and warblers! There are also some very good restaurants in Bar Harbor and elsewhere on the island. This really is a wonderful place.

Why they chose this property

Baycliff will destress you. I don’t know if it’s the quiet, the ocean, the cool clean air, the wind through the trees or the sounds of nature, but it will relax you.
