The Rabbit Hole is a secluded, airy cottage perched on a bluff overlooking a quiet cove in Blue Hill Bay. It's located the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island and has some of the best sunset views around. The living room opens out to the deck through a one-of-a-kind 12-foot sliding glass door, with an ocean view. It has a full kitchen/dining area, and living room, as well as two bedrooms and a loft. A woodsy path leads down to the shoreline and a dock with access to kayaks and rowboats.

Other cottages spread out at Barnacle Landing include:
Barnacle (sleeps 4), Popover (sleeps up to 4), & Boathouse (sleeps 2)

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, bbq's, and playing. (Sorry, no pets) The surrounding woods are nature's masterpiece, quintessential Maine. There is lots more we offer, email us 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 tide. 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 own lobsters on the deck of your house. And, SUNSET is an amazing feature here on the west side of Mount Desert Island.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila Eddison

My husband, David, & I have lived on MDI since 2008. We made a life switch from 'the city' and love this place. We are lucky to have work in winter to sustain us- that is the challenge on MDI. Treat the locals with respect, they give it their all in summer!

The family purchased the property in 1955. It's been a fine evolution, come join the fun and see why.

Why they chose this property

This camp has been in the family for over 60 years. It's very well maintained and improved- it's stellar for a cottage in the Maine woods, on the WEST SIDE of MDI where the sunset rocks. No musty smells!

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet of the woods and shore are fabulous. Access to the National Park and coming home to Barnacle Landing is worth the energy to get here.
