Hobby Horse - Rustic Maine Cabin, Ocean Access 22 miles from Acadia Nat'l Park
This rustic, cozy 2 bedroom cottage was originally a blacksmith shop. It has been converted to a Maine style "Camp" with 1 queen bed and 2 twin beds (not suits for adults). It is very private on a large property. Enjoy ocean access to Contention Cove for beach combing, walking the shore and swimming. Eagle, deer and other nature abounds in this peaceful setting.
For the comfort of all our guests no smoking is allowed.

Stay at Hobby Horse
Lovely Maine cottage. Quietly peaceful. Walked down to the lake each night to hear the loons. Easy, but busy, drive to Acadia National Park. Thank you.

An amazing find
Such a cute spot to stay. Surry, Maine is a quiet small town and our VRBO was nestled in a small cluster of homes right up against Contention Cove. Two minute walk to the beach, all the necessary amenities will definitely make this a place to come back to!

Rustic cozy get away
I was there for a month. The weather was chilly and rainy for my first week and a half so I had to rely on the space heater. The rest of the time the box fans helped with the humidity. A split system AC/ heat pump would be helpful, especially if you have allergies, as I do. The cottage had pretty much all one would need and help was available if needed.

Peaceful getaway in the Maine woods
Oh, how we loved this cabin! We have stayed at rental cabins all around the U.S. and this is one of the very best and a new favorite! We never met our hosts in person (which is fine), but we felt very well taken care of because the house is so welcoming, clean, and well stocked with everything we could possibly have needed during our week-long stay. We appreciated the super easy check-in/check-out process, the generous supplies provided by the host, and the incredible, private, charming location. The cabin is tucked away in a cute hillside, wooded neighborhood in Contention Cove and was easy to find with GPS. We loved every single detail about the cabin; it’s so charming and homey. We had our dog with us, and enjoyed walking along the quiet gravel roads in the neighborhood and down to the beach. (The path is well-maintained but a little steep for folks who are not so steady on their feet; just take it slow. My 80-year-old mother made it down there, just going very carefully and using a walking stick for extra balance.) It was easy to open up several windows in the cabin for some fresh forest air at night and we did not have any problem sleeping comfortably without air-conditioning. The shower was hot, the beds were comfortable, and the full kitchen was well-stocked. Pretty much, everything was perfect about our stay. The only problem was that we eventually had to leave! :) Thank you kindly to the Caddoo family for sharing this wonderful family summer home with us!

Cozy Cabin
We loved this cabin. It was a rustic, simple, quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of sightseeing. We would go all day touring and then come back and relax in this quiet atmosphere. It was very clean and accommodating. The host even brought us some farm fresh eggs.
