About this cottage rental
Located in Southwest Harbor, with a private right of way to the shore, this well known summer home sits on 2 acres of lawns and meadows. A typical shingled summer Maine cottage built in 1930, this home was the inspiration for the children's book, Fudgemania written by Judy Blume, and you will recognize many features of the house in the book. Warm and inviting, with exposed pine beams, pine floors, and a massive stone fireplace, this home always creates wonderful summer memories for those who are lucky to be able to spend time in it. Whether it's croquet games on the lawn, swings on the bigwooden swing hung between two of the large oak trees which anchor the front yard, walks to the shore via a private short path, bar-b-cuing in the back yard, having a lobster bake at the water's edge, or biking and hiking on the many trails of Acadia, this warm and inviting home has long been the favorite of many summer guests.The layout of the house creates spacious comfort as well as privacy for its guests. Its five bedrooms and three bathrooms, two living rooms, intimate dining room, and picture perfect setting make it a very special spot to spend your Maine summer holiday.

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.

Our family loved Sunnymead. It has charm and character, and is well laid out. The privacy and the proximity to a private beach area were a bonus. My family had a wonderful time, created many memories, and look forward to returning to this special cottage.
