Description

Perched just feet from the waters of Blue Hill Bay on the quiet side of Mt. Desert Island, our cottage is a seaside retreat, with a sweeping southwest view across Blue Hill Bay, while giving you a base for exploring the amazing island and Acadia National Park. You can spend your days on the deck reading a book and gazing out on the water, or you can come home to watch the sunset after a day of island exploring.

Originally built as a fishing shack, the cottage has been added to and renovated over the last 90 years, but retains it's rustic character with white-washed exposed structure throughout, living room with fireplace and cathedral ceiling, sleeping loft, and windows looking out to the ocean from every room. It can sleep up to 7 people, with a bedroom on the first floor, and 3 sleeping areas on the second floor.

The cottage has a well equipped kitchen, large living room with wifi, TV, DVR, & radio, and a dining room, with a water view that is hard to look away from. Outside, the deck overlooking the water, is perfectly situated for soaking in the sun's rays and watching the resident loons fishing, seals frolicking, and eagles soaring during the day, and celebrating the setting of the sun at day's end.

The cottage is filled with books, and has plenty of games, for rainy days, or when you don't feel like leaving this little corner of paradise.

The cottage is rented week to week, from Saturday to Saturday. It is strictly a no-smoking area. Pets are permitted with prior approval and a fee. We are available to answer any questions you have about our cottage before or after arrival.

Getting There
The cottage is located on the western quiet side of Mount Desert Island, 10 minutes beyond the town of Southwest Harbor, in Tremont. Prior to your rental period, we will provide directions to the cottage.

About the area
Getting around by car is most common; the closest Island Explorer Bus stop is in Bernard. The town of Southwest Harbor with its restaurants and shops is 10 minutes down the road. Bass Harbor and Thurston's Lobster Pound is also conveniently (& deliciously) only 10 minutes away. Numerous beautiful quiet-side mountain hikes are a short drive away, including the Wonderland, Ship Harbor and Beech Mountain trails. Wonderful swimming can be found within a 15 minute drive in Long Pond and Echo Lake.
