6. The Cordovan Cabin (from USD 232)

This cabin — which includes a nice porch — covers 1000 square feet (92.9 square meters) of living space. It is well-stocked, and its small chicken farm location means that there are always fresh eggs in the pantry.

A fully equipped kitchen and a propane grill are also available for your culinary needs.

Pets are allowed here, but only if they’re groomed, well-behaved, and can get along with the chickens. In case you’re leaving your pet alone in the cabin, you’re required to keep them crated.

This place is a great retreat for seafood lovers. Quality clams and mussels are served across the street, and hefty Maine lobsters are available just up the road. There’s also a pound by Trenton bridge where you can get live seafood.

You can watch amazing sunsets and views of Acadia National Park’s mountains and forests from this cabin’s deck.

The hosts are dog lovers, and they welcome pets on board, as long as they’re well-mannered and friendly. You are free to walk your pets in the spacious yard. However, they’re not allowed in beds and on furniture and must be leashed outdoors and never left alone indoors. You are also required to clean up after them.
