About this cottage rental
Looking for a quiet vacation place to rent early summer or fall? We have the perfect place for you-- our family vacation cottage on the beautiful Maine coast. The cottage is located in Sorrento, Maine, a small lobstering village that sits on a peninsula on Frenchman’s Bay and looks across to the mountains of Acadia National Park that rise out of the sea.
Sorrento is located in Maine’s storied “Down East,” 13 miles west of the small city of Ellsworth and 25 miles from Bangor—about an 8-9 hour drive from the New York metro region or five hours from Boston--just far enough to get away from smog, noise and congestion and close enough to nature to hear the cries of gulls and loons, to sight bald eagles, osprey, foxes.
Still a bargain on the Maine coast, the cottage sleeps up to 8 people—two bedrooms containing two queen beds, a bunk room with two bunk beds, and two additional twin beds in the loft. It has two full baths, living and dining areas, kitchen with dishwasher, a deck overlooking the bay, a fireplace, and a wood stove for Spring and Fall. The house DOES NOT have central heat. Our wood-burning stove is excellent and can efficiently heat the entire house on chilly days. There is plenty of wood in the basement, along with a washer and dryer. The house is fully furnished, including a library and linens - all surrounded by trees and the bay.
Across the bay and a 40-minute drive is Mt. Desert Island, home to the jewel of our national park system, Acadia National Park, with its great hiking trails and a view of mountains, islands, and sea from every summit. Also located on MDI is the resort town of Bar Harbor with its myriad tourist attractions like whale watch tours, plays, concerts, restaurants, etc. Nearer still is Schoodic Peninsula, another part of Acadia National Park.
Don’t count out the early summer or fall. These are quieter times for those who crave a real rest and with global warming heating up the planet these times are becoming more desirable.
We rent from Sunday to Sunday on a weekly basis.

We had a very relaxing stay at the cabin, beautiful location right on the coast watching the sunrise over water. The place is close enough to Acadia for day trips and yet secluded and tranquil. Biking along Ocean Ave was a treat. The cabin was well maintained, clean, and spacious. The owner communicated everything clearly. Overall highly recommended.

Staying at this property, which I did for one week, was like visiting my grandmother's house while she's out of town. The cottage is custom built, in a quiet spot near the water, and well equipped with kitchen utensils, chinaware, two bikes, canoes, wood for the fireplace, etc. The home is well designed, and offers the attitude of a summer rental cottage vs. a commercial rental establishment. It's in a great location to meditate on the glory of our Creator yet close enough to see attractions like Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mtn. Staying here allowed me to finally find the rest I needed and also enjoy the main sites such as Acadia National Park. I'm so grateful that the owners allowed me to share their family cottage and I hope to make a return visit next year.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning, very peaceful area! It's in a great location to explore Acadia (both Mount Desert Island and Schoodic Peninsula) and we enjoyed the many beautiful short trails nearby as well. The fireplace is lovely, the kitchen is well stocked, the rooms are comfortable and as others have noted, filled with beautiful artwork. I echo others on the terrific library too - just perfect to sit by the fire on a rainy day and browse through the books.
