Flanders Bay Cabins & BBQ

Some places give you a reason to stop. Flanders Bay Cabins & BBQ gives you several reasons to stay.

Overlooking the water in Sullivan, Maine, this welcoming destination brings together waterfront accommodations, slow-smoked barbecue, local shopping, live music, and space to celebrate. Whether you're planning a Downeast getaway or simply passing through on your way to the Schoodic Peninsula, there's plenty to discover.

Wake Up by the Water

Flanders Bay offers a collection of waterfront vacation rentals, including cozy cabins, a shorefront house, and a chalet.

With peaceful views across the bay and easy access to the surrounding region, the accommodations provide a comfortable home base for exploring Acadia National Park, the Schoodic Peninsula, and Downeast Maine.

Many of the rentals welcome pets, and guests can book directly through Flanders Bay to avoid third-party booking fees.

Come Hungry for the BBQ

There's more than salt air drifting across Flanders Bay. There's also the irresistible aroma of barbecue.

Toby and the Flanders Bay team serve slow-smoked favorites including brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and sausage, complemented by house-made sauces and classic sides.

Enjoy a casual meal with water views, grab takeout for the road, or call ahead for packed lunches and larger orders. The barbecue is popular enough that favorites can sell out, particularly on busy summer weekends.

Good Food, Local Music & Maine-Made Finds

Summer evenings bring another reason to visit: live music.

Flanders Bay's indoor-outdoor gathering space features a raised stage, picnic seating, and room to relax while local musicians perform. Add barbecue, a bay breeze, and a sunset, and you've got the makings of a memorable Downeast evening.

Visitors can also browse Maine-made merchandise and locally inspired finds, making Flanders Bay a convenient stop for gifts and souvenirs.

A Place to Gather

With waterfront lawns, indoor and outdoor event spaces, and barbecue catering, Flanders Bay also welcomes celebrations and group gatherings.

The property offers a relaxed setting for weddings, family reunions, milestone celebrations, company retreats, and other occasions that benefit from a little extra room and a beautiful view.

Discover the Quiet Side of Acadia

Flanders Bay isn't just a place to stay. It's a starting point for exploring the region.

Planning a visit to the Schoodic Peninsula? Kelly and Toby share their local knowledge in a free Schoodic Point Daytrip Guide, featuring ideas for exploring Acadia's quieter side. Visitors can request the guide through the Flanders Bay website by providing their email address.

Spend the day exploring the rocky shoreline of Schoodic Point, then return for a barbecue dinner, live music, or a peaceful evening overlooking the bay.

At Flanders Bay Cabins & BBQ, the invitation is simple: make yourself comfortable, enjoy something delicious, and discover a little more of Downeast Maine.
