The Boat House is one of 4 cottages available on this large waterfront property.
Cozy studio with a small kitchen, full bath, and deck right on the ocean
This one-room studio was a storage structure for rowboats and other sailing equipment. We're not kidding when we say this cottage is RIGHT on the water! It was built in the 1950's before modern zoning laws required homes to be built farther back from the shoreline.

The kitchen is creatively functional. Single burner unit, electric fry pan, large toaster oven, mini microwave, large dorm-style fridge, and deck side BBQ make this a great space for easy-peasy cooks. Coffee & tea kettle included.

Other cottages on this property include:
Barnacle (sleeps 4), Rabbit Hole (sleeps 4-5), & Popover (2-4)

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, b-b-qs, and playing. (Sorry, no pets) The surrounding woods are nature's masterpiece quintessential Maine. There is lots more we offer, email me 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 heron, osprey, and frequent eagles. Fishing and crabbing are 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 waves. 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.
