My 6th visit...The privacy, the peace and quiet and view of the tidal river make the 8 hour trip worthwhile. The location perfect for day trips to Lubec and Acadia.

Great location, right on the water, but very active tides. if you just want a view and don't need bay access from the property, this is a great choice. Peaceful and quiet, lots of room to spread out and enjoy the indoors when you're not out and about. Town is cute but also very quiet. Everything was just right for our two week stay

We enjoyed our stay. The view is great and so is the location. Milbridge is a great little town, and makes for a great base for short day trips to surrounding communities, including MDI. The cabin itself is fairly rustic, but has most of the necessary creature comforts one expects. Water pressure was a bit low and the bed was not very comfortable, but that is partly a matter of preference.

Downeast Maine and Acadia Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Sea Smoke Cottage. The quiet location on the bay was beautiful and the tidal changes each day were amazing. The cottage was spotless and stocked with everything we needed. We spent so much time sightseeing in the area that I wish we had more time to simply relax on the bay. Thank you for a great stay!

Thanks for your feedback! Milbridge is a lovely little fishing village just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but close enough to enjoy day trips. The village itself does have what you need in terms of places to eat and activities to keep you entertained. So glad you enjoyed your stay!

Relaxing Waterfront Property

Nice cottage directly on water. Relaxed while watching the tide go in and out. While out, watched the fisherman clamming right in front of us. Enjoyed walking our dog on the rural road, speaking with local residents.Location is perfect for exploring Downeast Maine from Mt Desert Isl to Lubec. The town Milbridge has everything you need for your stay.
