Quintessential Maine Summer Cottage with Private Shore Path

Although not fancy, this was a fun place to stay. The location was wonderful and within about a 30 min drive of Bar Harbor. Deer were often sighted in the yard including one taking a nap under a huge tree while it was raining. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. I believe I even saw a fondue pot in the dining room cabinet. If you desire Ritz Carlton, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place that is relaxing and has charm it is!

This cottage was a great charming escape for our trip to Mt Desert island. There was a lovely welcome gift on arrival, plenty of space, and it was an easy walk to the beach. Also a picnic table at the beach for lunches. It’s located not far from Acadia trails and down the road from restaurants and town.

Beautiful location, quiet, peaceful and away from the crowds in Bar Harbor. Loved the deer, got very close. Thanks

We spent a week at this cottage with positives and negatives. The house has a rustic charm that fits perfectly with its wooded Maine setting. Built in the 1930s, it features exposed beams, wall studs, a large stone fireplace, and decor that creates an authentic New England cottage feel. The large yard and five-minute walk to the ocean were highlights. The home comfortably accommodated our group of eight, with spacious bedrooms, ample seating areas, and a well-stocked kitchen.Prospective renters should understand that this is an older home and it shows its age in places. Access to the primary suite requires walking through another bedroom. While the house was generally clean, we noticed a few areas with mold and some musty curtains. The mattresses were worn and tended to sag toward the middle. The bed advertised as a king is actually two twin mattresses pushed together, creating a noticeable ridge down the center.We also experienced slow Wi-Fi, inconsistent electrical outlets, and limited hot water in the older section of the house. To the host's credit, they attempted to arrange a plumber during our stay but were unable to get one there in time.Overall, we enjoyed our week and appreciated the home's character and location. Guests looking for a rustic cottage experience may find it a good fit, while those seeking modern comforts should be aware of the home's age-related limitations.
