About this property

Escape to Acadia’s Winter Magic – Cozy Firepit, Snowy Trails & Coastal Charm

Adventure awaits! Fresh, clean and spacious vacation living. Enjoy the Maine Ocean and Woods, at the Cove Cottages Property. We are close to Acadia National Park, Bangor International Airport, Ellsworth, Winter Harbor, and Mount Desert Island. Our accommodations are perfect for 2-3 couples, small groups of adventurers and business travelers. We are excited to offer The Carriage House for the 2025 and 2026 seasons!

Curious about what's happening at our place? You can follow us on Instagram and Facebook! Just search for @covecottagesmaine on Instagram and The Carriage House at Cove Cottages on Facebook. You'll see many of our outdoor adventures around the property, wildlife that we spot and be the first to get updates on what we are doing to make your upcoming stay more enjoyable!

The Space.
The house was designed with adventure seeking travelers in mind. On the first floor guests have access to two queen bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A new second floor bedroom with a king size bed is a welcome expansion to accommodate larger groups. Our oversized family room is a perfect space to relax, read, watch some television on a big screen, or play a board game with the family! The full kitchen, with many upgraded amenities, stone countertops, gas range, and dishwasher, gives you the perfect space to cook or visit some of our favorite restaurants less than 15 minutes away. A large well-lit deck gives you a tranquil spot to sip your morning coffee and hopefully catch a peek at some woodland visitors. Our washer and dryer are neatly tucked away in the entryway and are essential for washing up after your many outdoor adventures.


Area Adventures.
Are you a swimmer? Great! You'll find that the Lamoine Public Beach and State Park are only 4 miles away and offer expansive beach, for swimming, sea glass combing, or kayaking! More of a Lake swimmer? No problem, there are several ponds and lakes situated about 18 miles away to the Hulls Cove Visitor Entrance at Acadia National Park, or check out one of our local favorites, Donnell Pond, for a quiet sandy lake swim and convenient mountain hiking. Need a quick morning walk. The Frenchmen Bay Conservatory's Simon Trail is situated right across the road and offers a 1 mile loop with an abundance of ferns and mushrooms to view.

We have 1 camera installed exteriorly overlooking the entrance and driveway. This camera is for your safety & security. Your Privacy Is Respected.

The condo was in a great location with easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was very quiet there and we had deer in the front yard one day. The walk trail across was a great place to get some exercise.

Very private new home. Beautiful views and nice walking trail across the street. All beds comfortable and plenty of space for relaxing upstairs. The deck also provides a place to relax and stargaze. Grocery store and Walmart are a 20 minute drive. Acadia National Park is a 30 minute drive and Schoodic Penisula is 40. We did a lot of exploring. This was a great place to come back to each evening.

The property was beautiful and clean. it was very comfortable. The location was great- a short drive to Acadia or Bar Harbor. Paige and Kate were in touch prior to our arrival and were very responsive to the small issue we had at check-in. If we return to Maine, we would definitely stay here again.

Acadia family vacation

Lovely, welcoming home in a relaxing setting. We enjoyed grilling out, eating on the deck & fixing s'mores at the firepit. Comfortable surrounding for our family of 6 - mom, dad & two adult sons & their wives. Host provided detailed information & instructions to ensure a smooth stay. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful

We so enjoyed this lovely , seemingly very new, home as our home base for our visit to Acadia. Updated modern decor. Nice fresh comfortable beds. Loved the outside deck in the mornings and evenings, facing expansive trees. Minor downside js no bathroom convenient to upstairs bedroom- that bed room could use a mirror at minimum to allow for some getting ready (for women) without bathroom. Kitchen very well stocked . Excellent - highly recommend !!

Perfect house, Perfect location for Acadia visit

We were initially hesitant to book a VRBO that was off MDI for our vacation to Acadia NP in August. Boy, we were we wrong! This property has a PERFECT location, especially during the summer when tourists take over the park. You are close enough (30 minutes or less depending on traffic) to the park but far enough away to escape the madness that is Bar Harbor. Likewise, you are close to Ellsworth, which has great restaurants with no waits. And the property? Gorgeous. It is probably the first VRBO we ever stayed at that looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Clean, modern, perfect for families. I am a self-avowed VRBO snob and I absolutely loved this place. Yeah, a half bath upstairs would be nice but it's really a small quibble. Paige and Katie are super accessible and really have all your travel bases covered. Brava!

Lovely home/darling owner/Beautiful master bedroom and family room mostly unusable for us as there was no handrail up the stairs and no bathroom available up there. The heating was uneven and hard to get to work, despite the owner sweetly coming over to help with it.

Super Clean-Well kept house

This property was amazingly clean. One of the cleanest my husband and I have stayed in.I gave this property a 4 star because I specifically booked it for the king size bed. However the king is on the 2nd floor and there is no bathroom on that floor. Also the upstairs has no central AC system just a wall unit and that bedroom was hot.Also no centralized air conditioning downstairs, another wall unit, so no direct cool air to the queen size room we used downstairs. It was another unusually hot week in Maine when we stayed. We tried opening windows but the road was very loud and busy with traffic which made it difficult to sleep.Not using the upstairs there was no access to a couch. The downstairs only had 2 chairs in a sitting area. We did spend quite a bit of time at the house and prepared alot of meals, we utilized the dining room table.

One morning I heard a moose snorting. We loved the cute modern, warm interior. Spotless and beautiful. Close drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor and all of the amazing sites.

This property was everything that we needed as a family. Beautiful location and easily accessible. Perfectly located to make day trips to either side of the Acadia National Park. Yet within 7 to 10 minutes from anything in town if you needed something there. The upstairs family room was incredible for family time. We absolutely loved this place.
