The cottage was lovely and eminently comfortable for family and friends. The location is a classic slice of Down East Maine - a view of Mount Desert Island famous far and wide. Thank you to our hosts!
We enjoyed every bit of our stay and the cottage was absolutely perfect! We wish we could have stayed longer but hope to be back in the future! The cottage was just as it was described, if not better, and the host was quick to respond to any questions we had! Thank you for helping us make our family vacation so wonderful!
We are the Coleman-Wight family! We live in Boulder, Colorado and have been coming to this beautiful slice of paradise for more than 2 decades. It is a wonderful place to get away and reconnect with good friends, family, great seafood and nature.
We love our seaside cottage with access to Acadia National Park on the Schoodic Peninsula as well as to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island. Both Parks offer ample hiking and biking trails both on- and off-road. We also love our quaint downtown (Winter Harbor-only 4 miles away) where you can get an ice cream, breakfast, a yummy lunch or a fine-dining experience in addition to a fully-stocked, old-fashioned 5 & 10, a grocery store, a fine provisions store and art galleries. A ferry, with multiple trips back and forth daily between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor is located downtown as well. Bikes are welcome on board. Free transportation throughout both parks is provided by L.L. Bean shuttle buses.
The cottage has a million-dollar view of Frenchman's Bay and Acadia National Park @ Mt. Desert Island. It is located on a "quintessentially Maine" harbor where lobster fisherman come and go throughout the day. The location is extremely private and takes full advantage of the magnificent views. An historic, tiny cemetery is located on the property and incorporated into the landscaping; it is fully screened from view. No ghosts have been sighted!
