About this property

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!

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.

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!

Amazing

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.

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!

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!

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!

Here you go: --- **★★★★★** We had such a great stay here! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, and kayaking in the morning was such a treat. Our teen caught and released several sunfish right from the property, which was a fun bonus. An evening gathered around the fire pit was a perfect way to relax after a busy day exploring the area. We had a rainy day during our stay and the cabin was pleasant and cozy, with a big window to enjoy the view. The cabin had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

This was such a great experience! Jennifer and Jack were amazing hosts and they helped make our trip the best it could be. Cabin beaver had everything we needed and even had a great outdoor shower. We were never bored and were so close to Ellsworth and Acadia. We easily got our two large breed dogs across in the canoe. Would recommend this place to anyone!

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.

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.

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.
