About this property

Cozy and clean updated cottage with views of Mount Desert Island Two private stone/pebble beaches are on the property. Very private and quiet with no immediate neighbors and naturally occurring low-bush blueberries growing in the yard between the house and the water's edge. Ocean front with 2 small clam beaches, deep water frontage on Frenchman's Bay and you can watch the lobster boats and fishing boats passing by from the front deck as close as 50 yards from the water's edge. Seal's can frequently be seen near the stone beach in front of the house and bald eagles have often been seen in the trees around the house. When sitting on the rocks down front by the water, you can clearly see people going up and down Cadillac Mountain (Bar Harbor) with a pair of binoculars. Just a short bike ride to Hancock Point and the center of Hancock which also offers a dock, beach and boat launch. Bar Harbor is just 20 minutes by car.

Please note that the Cottage is rented from Sunday to Saturday.

Truly a little piece of paradise by the sea!!

We had an amazing stay at this cottage by the sea! As soon as we pulled in and saw the water views we knew we had found a hidden gem. One of our favorite things was watching the seals come up to the rocks by the house each day. We enjoyed roasting s’mores outside at the fire pit, eating breakfast on the deck and stargazing at night. The house was clean, well stocked and felt like home. You can tell the owners take great care to make sure that you have a comfortable stay. Ron was extremely helpful and was quick to help us with anything we needed. We would definitely return to this property again!!

Family time

Neighbors were snorting out on the water all day eating fish and doing seal things. Plenty of cell phone reception to accomplish all the family games and activities for the time we were there. Had enough cell phone reception to plan the next days activities too. Wonderful time, thanks Ron and Tom

Complete relaxation!!

We had a great week at this property. It was a week of total relaxation. The home is well stocked with everything you need....just bring yourself and food. The inside is so open and the back opens to a gorgeous view of the water. We saw all types of birds, including eagles and even saw a few seals swimming by. Although there is no wifi or cable, my teenagers didnt mind it. They found plenty to do. They enjoyed climbing down the rocks at low tide and exploring. There is a fire pit outside that we made use of too. We did drive to Acadia a couple of times that week but we enjoyed just relaxing by the water. The owner was very helpful prior to our visit with answers to our questions and gave us his number if we needed him. All in all, it was a great week.

Great Place

We’ve stayed at this house for two trips and the house and property are tremendous. Great views of the water, including lobster boats, sea life, and rare birds. The house is clean, comfortable, and a great place to stay.

Amazing house

My family and I stayed here for our vacation this year. The house was beautiful and very well appointed. The views outside cannot be beat. We even saw seals right from the deck! All in all an amazing trip. The only difficulty we had was the lack of internet and poor cell reception - neither of which are issues with the property or the owners. If I did not need to do some last minute work, the solitude would be amazing. We can't say enough good things about the house.
