Cottage with a Vista

Charming, cozy, newly-renovated cottage with beautiful vistas. Less than an hour to Acadia National Park and just a few minute walk to the lovely Morgan Bay.

The cottage is elegant as well as rustic. A rare combination of nature, comfort and class. The cottage is located on an old Maine farm. A unique performing arts center is located a few hundred feet away. A lovely meditation center is also just a few minutes walk down the road.

There is a piano in cottage for anyone who wants to explore expressing themselves in music.

This apartment is located in a spacious, newly-renovated Maine barn on a beautiful and historic farm. It is a five minute walk to nearby scenic Morgan Bay, very close to hiking trails, biking and swimming. Acadia National Park is about 45 minutes away.

The farm offers a seasonal performing arts center featuring classical, jazz, singer songwriter and blues series among others.

Few rental spaces offer all of this in a ten-minute radius.

Pets: Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $50.00 for the one pet or $80 for two pets. The fee for the first pet is included in your VRBO total. If bringing more than one pet, the additional pet fee is payable in cash at checkout. Stays longer than 7 days will need to discuss possible additional pet cleaning fees with the host. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury.

Late arrivals after 9:00 PM are subject to a late fee of $25.00.

Additional guests: For more than 2 guests, there is an additional fee of $25 per guest per night.

We experienced a delay on the way to the property, but Alan was very accommodating. The cabin was very neat and had all the amenities. It was ideally located between Blue Hill, where we were visiting friends, and Acadia, where we went for a day trip. The kitchen had all the cookware and dishes we needed. The bathroom was supplied with everything we needed and the bed was super-comfortable. The cool breezes at night allowed us to sleep peacefully through the night and awaken to a great view of Cadillac Mountain. Next time we are in the area we will definitely look into staying at this Cottage with a Vista!

Our time at the cottage was wonderful! My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 nights over 3 days. The location is convenient for hiking, exploring, and of course Bar Harbor/Acadia. Alan was helpful during check in and offered his help whenever needed. The cottage was clean and well managed with cute decor! Overall a fantastic stay and would absolutely return in the future!

I had a lovely stay here, took the short walk to the coast with my dog, drove to Acadia Natl Park for a day and had some peaceful times in the cozy cottage enjoying the quiet and the views. Alan was a very responsive and thoughtful.

View is great!

Great place to stay if you want to be close to Acadia Park, Bar Harbor, and other places to explore in Maine. There was a bit of accommodation mix up, but the host (Alan) helped us get it figured out. It's been years since I've seen the Milky Way and so many stars that you can't even see the dark sky at night. Super quiet place, friendly people, wonderful place to get away from the daily grind.

Decent place! Best for location

Perfect little spot if you value location as top priority. The area has other cottages nearby. There are many windows so you can have a lot of natural light. The lighting at night is also very good. Our only issues were the kitchen being too small for us and the amenities said there’s an oven but it’s actually a toaster oven. There is only stove top fyi. We were also a little disappointed about the overall cleanliness of the place as we found a lot of dusty areas

New Year Stay

The location was great except that we were under the impression it was closer to Acadia. Our own fault for not mapping it out entirely. The checkin process was a bit confusing. We reached out the day prior but never heard back. When 5 min out I messaged again but no response prior to arrival at the previously noted checkin time. The parking description both on here and in the cabin advise to park on the grass to the left of the cabin. That spot does not exist though so it left us a bit stumped as to the best place to park a full size truck. We made our way into the cabin by guessing if it was open or not. It was and we let ourselves in. The host called me after we were in and was very pleasant to talk with. The heat was at 50 upon arrival so that was a bit of a challenging way to start when arriving to a cabin at the end of December. The heat pump had to be turned on and off a few times to get it to push heat, after that it was heating by the time we were leaving for dinner. I gave 3 stars for cleanliness because I had to wash the shower floor and sink out as they didn’t appear to have been cleaned. The shower (and toilet) when turned on left black particles all over the floor, that stopped after it ran for a bit though. All in all we had a great stay and the view is beautiful but I cannot say we would be back during the off season.

Peaceful idyllic setting. Cottage is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. Kitchen is well set up with everything needed for meal prep. Bathroom contains all essential items and wonderfully hot water for showers. The view from the deck is amazing. Half hour drive to Acadia Nation Park. Highly recommend for anyone exploring Bar Harbor/Acadia Park

Loved staying at the cottage during our trip to Acadia National Park! It was the perfect distance from the park where it was an easy drive but also far enough away from the super touristy areas that we were able to relax at night. Such a quiet, beautiful property that we'd love to stay at again!
