About this cottage rental
We have a few openings available for FALL 2025
WE ACCEPT weekly RESERVATIONS only, open until mid-October
We do have a no-pet policy for guest tenants.
The Barnacle, located close to the water’s edge, is a large traditional post-and-beam structure that provides a great gathering and entertainment space for guests and family. The Barnacle has a full kitchen, dining table, living room with large fireplace and piano, and 14-foot sliding glass door opening from the living room to the deck. The deck overlooks the water with spectacular views of Blue Hill Bay. A large bedroom with a queen adjoins the bathroom with a walk-in shower. The loft has a king and can be visually shut off from the living areas below.
The Barnacle is one of 4 cottages available to rent on this large waterfront property.
The living space faces south and west for spectacular sunset views.
Other cottages on this property include:
Popover (sleeps up to 4), Rabbit Hole (sleeps 4-5), & Boathouse (2)
We rent Saturday to Saturday, only!
We would love to secure your vacation time on MDI here at Barnacle Landing. The VRBO connections have been wonderful and everyone has expressed their wonder and amazement at our best-kept secret, the cottages on the bay. Renters are still saying this place 'exceeds expectations'. What else can we say? Come, see for yourselves.
This family-run property offers quiet respite steps from Acadia National Park. The cottages are kid-friendly and have great decks for sunsets, b-b-qs, and playing. (Sorry, no pets) The surrounding woods are nature's masterpiece quintessential Maine. There are lots more we offer, email me for details of Barnacle Landing, on the WESTSIDE of MDI off Tremont Road.
The property is 1500 feet of shoreline and the cove proves to be a great place to explore Maine marine life and geology. Nearby, Pretty Marsh is chock full of places to explore in our kayaks and rowboats. The harbor is home to seals, porpoises, great blue herons, osprey, and frequent eagles. Fishing and crabbing is always a great way to spend your time.
If you like to swim in the ocean, there are ladders at the dock and a gravel beach to wander in and out of the waves. Of course, there are warmer ponds and lakes very nearby, too.
The 40 acres surrounding the cottages are full of woodsy pathways and mossy areas for exploring. There are mussels to collect at low tide and you can steam your lobsters on the deck of your house. And, SUNSET is an amazing feature here on the west side of Mount Desert Island.

This was a great place to stay near Acadia National Park. It's a short drive to anywhere on Mt. Desert Island. And the sunsets were amazing. Our luggage arrived late, and the owners graciously brought us a phone charger, which we needed badly that first night. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We were blown away by the beauty and charm of the lake cabin. And the view!!! It was so peaceful and not a want in the world because the owners thought of everything! They even had kayaks and a canoe to use on the bay. I spent an afternoon kayaking on bay bay which provided spectacular scenic views and of the wildlife. I’d love to spend more time next time.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2024
Loved the cottage. It is rustic but still has all of the comforts of home. Location is perfect for those who want to get away from it all! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay until the last two days when the hot water heater decided not to work. Due to circumstances beyond the hosts control the hot water could not be repaired in a timely manner so we could enjoy the rest of our stay! We decided that staying another two days without hot water was something we didn’t want to do so we left a day early. We did not ask for compensation but none was offered.

We will definitely be back. Had a great stay. ZERO complaints. Super convenient for anything on the island.
