About this property
Summer cottage with spacious porch overlooking Gilpatrick Cove near Acadia.
This classic Maine summer cottage offers a quiet shorefront setting overlooking Gilpatrick Cove and Northeast Harbor's Fleet. It's spacious, charming, and full of character—with creaky floorboards, vintage details, and signs of wear that come with age. Best for guests who appreciate a more traditional, unfussy kind of coastal retreat. Available in June, September, and October.
