Oceanfront Log Cabin, Secluded Sandy Beach, Sunsets & Sauna
If you are looking for a cozy yet spacious and extremely well-appointed home nestled peacefully in the woods and directly on a secluded, sandy beach this is your place!
See the property
From the moment you walk through the door you will feel warmly greeted by this log home designed to resemble an early American lodge. The open concept great room with its cathedral ceiling, large field-stone fireplace and comfy furnishings are equally favorable for both larger gatherings and intimate parties of two. The sunlight streams through the expansive windows in the afternoon. Enjoy a fire, a glass of wine or hot chocolate and a good book or movie on the Blu-ray/DVD player for a perfect day of relaxation.
There are two dining areas within the open concept, each with expandable leaves allowing plenty of room for mealtime guests or family game nights. The hutch/bookcase contains enough games and puzzles to make even a rainy or snowy day enjoyable. Or head to the basement for a game of Foosball or pool. A wooden folding table next to the hutch can be set up as a "working vacation" desk...Sometimes its needed. We do have free Wi-Fi!
Arguably, the most fun part of the house is not even IN the house. The Bare Den is located in the back yard and houses the sauna with cool-down room (open all year) and also the out-door shower (open seasonally). Nothing is as refreshing as taking a warm shower in the open air while watching the ocean and an occasional bald eagle flying overhead. It's also great for rinsing off sandy feet or pets! And at the end of a day, relaxing every muscle in the heat of the sauna and cooling down with an icy beverage is simply magical.
Bear Beach Maine is located on Holmes Bay in the town of Cutler. Because the house faces West on the bay, it enjoys the most gorgeous sunsets over the ocean. Relax on the front deck with a glass of wine, chilled cocktail or cup of coffee and it's hard not to reflect on the many blessings of the day as the sun falls below the horizon.
Head down the staircase in front of the house to the sandy beach. Enjoy long walks along the varying shoreline at lower tide, or have kayaks delivered to the house from Sunrise Canoe and Kayak to view the coast from a whole different perspective. Pack a picnic lunch and kayak over to Hog Island a 15–20-minute paddle from the front of the house. A short hike around the island will have you searching for the Indian rock carvings (petroglyphs) which were pecked into ledges hundreds of years ago by the Algonquin Indians. These unique carvings are located on the southwest side of the island and are engraved into the latent shale stone.
We look forward to sharing our little piece of coastal heaven with you!

The house is 2 hours from Bangor International Airport, 5 hours from the Portland Jetport, 7 hours from Boston and 11 hours from New York City.
We have installed a Generac Stand-by Generator so you should always have power even through occasional outages due to coastal storms. The log cabin construction is very cozy in inclement weather.
My husband and I have lived in Michigan for all of our married life where we have raised three beautiful and kind children, recently adding the blessing of our totally-awesome grandson! While we all currently live in close proximity to each other here, we continue to meet up in Cutler as often as our busy schedules allow to escape the hustle and bustle of every-day life. Life and time go by so quickly; in Cutler we gather snap shots in an effort to make time stand still and life to be relived long after we are gone...
