About this apartment rental
Along with my husband and family, I invite you to share the beauty of our home and cottages on Mount Desert Island, the home of Acadia National Park.
We are located in the coastal village of West Tremont, on the western side of Mount Desert Island. You can get to the parts of the park within 10 minutes and to Bar Harbor in about 30 minutes.
The Aldernest Cottage is adjoining our home overlooking Blue Hill Bay. The rocky shore front of Maine is just a short walk across the lawn. You can have your coffee in the morning sitting on the rocks while you enjoy our private, peaceful setting. In the evening you will enjoy the beautiful sunsets that will probably take your breath away.
The Aldernest Loft (upstairs apartment) has two carpeted bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and one with two twins. There is a dining room/living room area, fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a washer/dryer.
You will find our rates competitive and the setting incomparable. Please come, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of our location while you are visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.
Additional Details:
Wifi using 200 Mbs Spectrum Cable Modem Connection
High definition television with Roku
Heat and air conditioning provided with reverse cycle heat pump.
Parking for two cars next to the fence

3) Our Cottage is Smoke Free. No smoking allowed on the premises.

Cute space that is well kept and a nice retreat after crowds at the park or in Bar Harbor.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2021
I was looking for a quiet area to relax. The area is definitely quiet, but the furnishings were not comfortable. There were no headboards on any of the beds. I needed more pillows too. There was no couch/sofa, just 2 wicker chairs. I could have used an ottoman at least to put my feet up. The table benches were a little rickety and moved every time my husband got up. These are things that you can see in the images, so I’ve learned a lesson about paying more attention and realizing what I need as far as creature comforts. There were no curtains on any of the windows and they are definitely needed in the bedrooms as it starts to get light at 4am!
The kitchen was very nice. We had a nice view of the sunset from the windows. Very nice to have washer and dryer too. No water views from the loft, you have to walk across the property but it is beautiful when you get there.
Another couple was in the downstairs unit and we could hear them talking all evening. I imagine they could hear us too. But I guess that’s anywhere.
It’s a cute loft in great condition but did not provide the comfort I expected for the price point.
