Affectionately known as Dory Haven, this newly renovated cove-front cottage features tasteful New England decor, high ceilings, a screened porch, and a sunroom boasting an abundance of windows and waterfront views. In a prime locale, you’ll have close access to the area’s natural wonders. Traverse the coastal woodlands of Acadia National Park, or hike local peaks like Champlain Mountain and The Beehive. For explorations nearby, Bartlett’s Landing and Long Pond can be reached in no time.

Relax in the spacious living room, furnished with two sofas, armchairs, and a gas fireplace. Pick your favorite film from the vast array of DVDs and have a movie night on the 31-inch TV. An adjacent sunroom boasts a sofa and rocking chair, as well as a dining table. Whip up tasty vacation meals in the open kitchen, outfitted with new appliances, granite countertops, and all the kitchenware needed. Enjoy morning coffee at the two-person breakfast nook. Gather in the sunroom at the unique live-edge wooden dining table for six and take in beautiful views of the waterfront backyard.

The whole family will enjoy the expansive grassy backyard. Roast s’mores over the fire pit or go for a swim in the refreshing waters. Please note that the waterfront is tidal, meaning at certain times of the day, there is no water. However, during high tide, the water is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, including seals, otters, and Maine seabirds. End your day with drinks on the deck, with seating for two. Sizzle dinner on the grill, then head to the lower-level screened porch to enjoy an alfresco dinner at the picnic table. This area also offers a two-person table, ideal for a quiet moment at the end of an activity-filled day.

For nearby excursions, launch a kayak from Bartlett’s Landing, which also serves as a wonderful spot to catch a sunset. Or head to Long Pond, a nearly 4-mile long, glacial lake. Drive 15 minutes to Acadia National Park. Spend your time exploring the woodlands, breathing in the salty air on the rocky shores, and watching for local wildlife. Explore the coastal town of Bar Harbor, just a 25-minute drive from your home. Indulge in local cuisine, shop the boutiques, or charter a boat to explore the deep blue sea.

Peaceful Oasis
Enjoyed staying on the “quiet side” of MDI. Loved the sun porch and yard overlooking the pond. A very comfortable place to relax and unwind.

Exceeded Expectations
This was a first visit to Acadia. The location was ideal for everything we had planned. The Visitor center was within an easy drive where we could park and explore the park. With Dory Haven as our base, it provided not only a beautiful place to rest, but was comfortable and above what we expected. The bedrooms were spacious as was the downstairs living area. The porch doubled the space of the house and easily became a favorite for meals. I’m ready to come back.

Wonderful!
We were traveling with our teenager and one yr old. The water access gave plenty to do while home and Acadia/ Bar Harbor are close enough we went there several times. A wonderful stay!

Beautiful waterfront property
This was a great place. Very roomy yet a cozy feeling as well. Loved the sun room which had a beautiful dining table, comfortable sofa and rocking chair. My husband and I spent a lot of time in this room. The view of the water was beautiful. This was on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island which is where we love to stay. Highly recommend.

Great stay on MDI
Dory Haven is a great place to stay on MDI. Close enough to everything but far enough away from the high traffic areas. The house is the perfect size for a small family. It is clean and well stocked. The porch overlooking the pond is so nice. Bedrooms and living areas are comfortable and well kept. Mosquitos are bad, especially on hot, humid days down by the water so bring bug spray. Something missing from the listing is that there are room AC units in the bedrooms. I contacted Vacasa to ask if there was AC based on previous comments but they said no so this should be updated for accuracy.
