There are some places that are so incredible, it’s hard to believe they’re real. Acadia National Park and the entire surrounding area are a great example. While we have tons of these spots in Maine, there’s something about the mix of forests, sea, lakes and mountains that truly make this a one-and-only type of spot. And that’s why we absolutely love the idea of staying overnight right in the park. So the next time you want to visit this national park in Maine, you know where to go!

This wonderful little lake house sits on the shores of Echo Lake, right inside the borders of Acadia National Park.

You’d be hard-pressed to find anything closer to the water or more convenient for exploring the trails and great outdoors here on Mount Desert Island.

There’s certainly a lot to love about this semi-rustic cabin, but high on our list are the views. You’ll be able to look right out onto the water any time you’d like.

And just look at the bright, airy vibes that stream through the window. If you love sun-drenched days this is for you.

The cabin offers sleeping for five people in one king bed, one single bed and a pullout sofa.

The king bed is located in the sleeping loft that also has a fun ladder to access.

The location of the cabin makes it hard to have a laundry machine so you won’t find one here. Be sure to bring your own sheets and towels. Somehow this just adds to the cabin vibes.

You’ll also find a kitchen perfect for making whatever you’d like to eat.

But when it’s warm enough you’ll probably want to cook on the grill and enjoy your meal overlooking Echo Lake.

When it’s time to get active you can make your way down to the private dock to access the canoe and make your way out to the float.

And when the day is done and you’ve explored the area, come on back and bask in the whimsical vibes at the cabin.

You can book this lakefront cabin through Airbnb. A night averages around $600; however, this Airbnb truly will take your visit to this national park in Maine to a whole other level! And despite being on the higher end of accommodations in the area this cabin sells out fast, so be sure and reserve your stay ASAP!
