About this property
Turnstone Cottage ·3BR/2Bath (heated floor on bathrooms!) Near Acadia Nat'l Park
Tucked away on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island, you'll find this whimsical gem of a quintessential coastal New England cottage.
This is the ideal property for those looking to escape the frantic pace of life. Here, time is measured by the tides and the sun and there's not much of anything that must be done.
Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space.
A Unique and Charming Getaway
As you arrive at the Turnstone Cottage, you'll be drawn to the fanciful triangular windows that give the home its eclectic charm. When you enter the front door, the craftsmanship and quality will be immediately evident.
You'll find the cottage to be immaculately clean, with lovely, welcoming touches throughout. We take pride in offering an upscale experience, from the high-end furnishings to the LL Bean linens.
Designed as a magically relaxing, luxurious, yet playful space, we invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and allow the comfort and care to envelop you.
Guests who practice yoga and meditation will be particularly pleased with quiet nature of the area. To facilitate your practices, we are pleased to provide yoga mats and pillows in the loft area.
About Turnstone Cottage
We love the rustic elegance of our shiplap walls and wood-beam ceilings and hope our guests find them as calming and restorative as we do. The living room features a comfortable seating group, centered around a centerpiece unique light fixture. A large flat screen TV is provided for your enjoyment.
The highly functional and fully equipped kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and a Nespresso machine.
The first of two bedroom suites features a king-size bed, dual vanities and lamps, with an ensuite bath with tub/shower. The second bedroom suite has a queen bed, also with dual vanities and lamps. The ensuite bath has a spacious walk-in shower.
A charmingly unique feature of the Turnstone Cottage is the second-story loft. Accessible from either the custom-made ladder in the living room and an outside staircase, it features two twin beds. Just outside the door is a porch, perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, in the fresh, sweet Maine air.
The covered front porch is another great spot to curl up with a good book, as you enjoy the peace and quiet of your surroundings. With the dining table for 6, it makes for a lovely semi-alfresco meal. The gas grill allows for fun and easy family barbecues.
When you are searching for the peace of nature, the gift of family, and the joy of luxurious comfort, the Turnstone Cottage is ready to welcome you.
I give my guests space but am available when needed.
While I live an hour away from the property, I will not meet for check in. If you need anything send us a text and message us on Airbnb if possible. This will ensure we get your message right away! We will answer as promptly as possible!
Nearby Activities and Attractions
When you're ready to venture out, the Turnstone Cottage is just a short distance from both the ocean and hiking opportunities, as well as the famous Acadia National Park.
Acadia is known for many things, such as Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the Atlantic Seaboard. Also Somes Sound is a fjard, a feature carved by glaciers that splits the mountain range.
In the fall, it is also an ideal location to see stunning foliage.
Don't forget the most iconic of meals while you're here - Maine lobster! Within a short distance of the home, you'll find several lobster shacks.

About the host
Hosted by Jong B
As I love to entertain guests and socialize, I was drawn to the hospitality industry. also love traveling, good food, and great company. Staying fit in both mind and body is important to me, so I spend time running and working out, as well as practicing both yoga and meditation.
I am drawn to well-built and unique homes, which explains why I love this one so much! I am also just a bit of an introvert, so the idea of the peace and quiet this home affords was very appealing to me.
I hope you love it as much as I do!
