THE LOCATION Beautifully situated on a quiet inlet just 10 miles west of the Hulls Cove Visitors Center at Acadia National Park, this cottage is ideal for exploring Maine’s natural landscape. Enjoy waterfront activities on the Narrows and at various lakes across the island. Or hike on a myriad of trails in the park. Drive 13.5 miles to discover a plethora of dining and shopping options in downtown Bar Harbor. Soak up the sun on Sand Beach (20 miles). Watch for wildlife, including seals, otters, and a variety of New England sea birds.
Mount Desert Isle offers an endless array of activities for everyone. Some of the things to do in Acadia National Park include: a visit to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Otter Cliff. A drive up Cadillac Mountain for sunrise or sunset and a bike ride past the The Bubbles and high tea and popovers at Jordon Pond House. Tour the stunning gardens at Asticou or take a boat ride out of Northeast Harbor. Take a Glider or Bi-Plane Ride over the Park out of the Hancock Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton for some great perspective on Mount Desert Isle.
On the ocean and land, visitors and guests can tour Mount Desert Isle on their own, or let experienced Maine guides show them the way. For cyclists, there are 55 miles of carriage trails that lace their way through Acadia National Park. Bike beside crystal clear lakes and spectacular mountains or take a bus or trolley tour.

There are local companies and expert registered Maine Guides that know wildlife and the history of Downeast Acadia offering walking tours of Bar Harbor. Rent a kayak or canoe and tour on your own or better still in the company of Maine Guides and explore Mount Desert Island’s fascinating harbors and coast. Or set sail with one of the professional tour boats from Bar Harbor in search of lighthouses, whales, seals, seabirds or set sail for a day aboard a Schooner.

typical Maine cottage
This Maine cottage has everything you need for a quiet stay on the Southwest Harbor side of Acadia National park - only 15 minutes away. Kitchen is well equipped. Cove that it is on is quiet. Would definitely come back again.

Loved the Location
Beautiful & private location on the edge of an inlet. Views of the water awesome from the large deck. Property had everything we needed. The drive to & from the park was easy & it was nice to be on the less crowded side of the island. Only negative comment was that the double bed is starting to get a bit soft, thought it didn't bother us much. Would definitely rent it gain.

Perfect place for our first visit to Maine!
Noonie's Nest was exactly what we were looking for and expected: - Location on the quiet side of the island, but easy drive to everything - Comfortable cottage and quiet to relax after hiking - Great view of water and birds - Great amenities, including reading lamps and USB outlets (on lamps in bedrooms). Will recommend to others! Thank you.

A lovely spot with a few oddities
In general, we were quite happy with this rental. The location couldn’t have been better for the wedding we were attending less than a mile down the road, and there was plenty of space for two couples and a 3.5 year old with a small dog. Check in was super easy, if a little confusing because of the multiple platforms between VRBO and the private company, but we figured it out. There were nice touches with fresh boxes of dish detergent and soaps etc, and the kitchen was well appointed with every appliance you could ask for. Three small things to note: 1. The house is at the end of a shared driveway. There is a garage you have to pass directly in front of, where someone presumably lives (we saw cars but no people), so it felt a little less private and like we were shining our headlights into their space and making noise every time we came and went. 2. The bathroom was carpeted, which is arguably soft and warm for cool winter months but otherwise just weird and unsanitary in my opinion. You can be the judge of that. 3. There was an odd smell like maybe there had been animals there, which they do allow (like I said, we had a dog with us), but they charge a $200 pet fee which one would hope would cover thorough cleaning and therefore help with lingering smells. We got used to it and it wasn’t terrible, just present. All this to just be honest and thorough so future guests have all the info, but as I said, we were generally happy with our stay.
