We provide laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dish liquid, hand soap at sinks and all linens.
WE DO NOT provide Toilet tissue or Paper towels, please add these items to your shopping list.

The setting is quiet and peaceful.......
the ocean washing along the shore will certainly lull you to sleep and will be the first sound you hear in the morning when you wake. Start your days walking on the rocky shore enjoying the vast views of Pigeon Hill Bay including local lobster fishermen hauling their traps just feet from the cottage. The Petit Manan Lighthouse can be seen in the distance and the fog horn can be heard. In the evening enjoy the fire pit located on the edge of the shore. This is Maine, The Way Life Should Be.....
The cottage offers a main bedroom with a queen bed. The loft accessed by spiral stairs, has four twin beds. The loft also has a window air conditioner for your comfort.

Just minutes from the cottage enjoy a short hike to the top of Pigeon Hill. Once you crest the top, you can see for miles. A perfect spot for a picnic and great photo opportunities! If you prefer bird watching or happening upon a deer or rabbit, a great hike along the Hollinsworth Trail on Petit Manan Point is in order. While there, visit All Souls Chapel.
Services are led by local residents and held on Sundays. (Seasonal)

Save a few hours to enjoy a boat ride to Petit Manan Lighthouse located two miles off shore. Daily boat tours leave from Back Shore Road (Acadia Puffin Tours) which is a 5 minute drive from the cottage.

Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards etc. The bay is a great place to explore. It is tidal which means the tide will go in and out, changing every six hours.

Take a day trip to explore one of the nation's most beloved parks, Acadia National Park, (approximately 1 hour drive).
Acadia at Schoodic Peninsula is a shorter drive, approximately 40 minutes. Both offer hiking trails through the forest or rocky shorelines. Bar Harbor hosts many restaurants and shops; a great place to spend the day.

The neighboring town of Milbridge has several restaurants and other stores to supply you will everything you may need during your stay. We look forward to hearing from you.

The cabin was clean and cozy and had just the right feel. We loved the back yard! My kids were out on the beach almost everday looking for seaglass and they found quite a bit. We made friends with a special deer that came to visit us in the backyard as well. Wanda was one of the best hosts we've had! She was very kind and informative! We hope to be able to come back for another visit in the future

This is our second time staying at this house. The property is perfect for a couple, clean, wonderful ocean view, comfortable stay. Unfortunately, we will never stay here again, the property manager sent us numerous text regarding " residual moisture on clean dishes ". This really soured the experience.

Maine Retreat

This cottage was exceptionally clean. It was in a quiet beautiful location on the water a great place to relax. It was the perfect size for the two of us. Hiking trails were just down the road and Acadia Schoodiac was about a half an hour away.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Visit to Maine

We enjoyed the property. It was perfect for the two of us, clean, tidy and in a very nice location. The only improvements we would like to see would be a dishwasher and a king size bed, but washing a dish by hand for a week is fine and you can't complain to much about sleeping a little closer to your spouse.

First Trip to Maine

My wife and I wanted to enjoy the Fall weather and the changing of the leaves. Well, we were blessed on both counts—60 degrees and the most beautiful reds, oranges and yellows filled our view. In addition, this little hideaway was serene and somehow management was able to arrange a welcome party of a porcupine and a doe! Simply beautiful!

Pigeon Hill Bay Cottage

My husband and I stayed here early October. The cottage is private and very relaxing. It is a very clean and well-stocked property. The host is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We hiked around Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula, and visited the very busy town of Bar Harbor. We also got the opportunity to ‘Catch our Dinner’ in Corea. There is so much to do around the area but our favorites were Cadillac Mountain, the lobster boat tour and spending time at the cottage, watching the deer (they love the apple trees😊, also seen a porcupine walk by the porch!) and having a campfire by the water. A little bit of a drive to different destinations which we did not mind because we loved the tranquility of the area. We absolutely loved the cottage!

Quaint relaxing getaway

Quiet side of life on the Maine Coast did not disappoint! Plenty of local trails and sites to take in. Beautiful views over morning coffee or evening beverages! Property manager offered many great recommendations and was helpful for any needs. Strongly recommend if you are looking to get away from the tourist crowds, yet still close to explore Acadia and many of the other coastal trails and popular attractions.

Cozy Cottage

My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little cottage by the sea. We appreciated the private and quiet beachfront setting and the many amenities that the cottage offered. The air-conditioned loft area was the perfect spot for the boys. The cottage was clean and well-maintained. Wanda was a very responsive and helpful host. We were happy to be within an hour of the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and took several day trips to the park, including Schoodic Point. Having a grocery store and good take-out spots only a few minutes away was an added bonus. We were surprised with the wildlife we saw from the cottage: a bald eagle, deer, a rabbit, and “Spike” the porcupine. The puffin cruise 5 minutes down the road was great too. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful spot away from it all!

We had a wonderful time on pigeon road! The house was perfectly appointed and clean and just right for our family of five. It’s right on the water on a cute country lane. Everything about the spot was beautiful and fun. But be prepared to drive an hour to Bar Harbor and the main sites in Acadia. This really is in the middle of “nowhere.” It’s pretty and just right if that’s what you’re after! There are some closer hikes, but we spent most of our time in Acadia/Bar Harbor since we’d never been before and it was a bit of a haul. Wanda is really wonderful. Very communicative, friendly, helpful — and had the house spotless for us upon arrival. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful stay by the sea

This cottage was very clean and well stocked. It's a simple but roomy cottage with spectacular views and relaxing atmosphere. It's close to Acadia and Bar Harbor yet away from the hustle and bustle. Our kids loved exploring the beach in the mornings at low tide and I enjoyed my morning coffee with the quiet lapping of the waves. The stargazing here is overwhelmingly spectacular

Off the road, yet close to town

The property fronts a the bay. Berms on either side provide a sense of distance from the neighbors. Located 5 miles off the main road, its is quiet and pleasant, yet it is less than 15 miles from a village with a restaurant and multiple take-out options. A marvelous getaway!

We have now stayed in Pigeon Hill 3 times in homes managed by Wanda. Every experience has been excellent. The area is so quiet and peaceful. This is the second time for our family of 6 at this cottage, and it works out perfectly for us--the loft is great for the kids (as long as they are careful on the stairs!) And the beach is right out the door. Such a wonderful spot, a perfect cottage for us. Thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Pinkham

Host profile image
I went to school here in Steuben Me. I Joined the Marines after High School and retired in 2002. I currently live in Connecticut with my family.

Close family friends (The Pinkham's) who live in the area manage our cottage. Please e-mail our contact person, Wanda, for more information.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family for 3 generations. I lobster fished right out front when I was going through school. I know all the locals in the area. These people work hard on the water and you should come watch. It is so relaxing to see the boats out hauling traps.

What makes this property unique

What really makes me love this home is having the windows cracked at night. Listen to the waves hitting the shore with the peepers in the back ground. Oh, yea. then there is good ol' Petit Manan light house fog horn off in the distance. Man, that is it, you're out for a great night sleep.
