About this property

24 - Funky and charming, 'small house' in West Tremont

'24' is a small house of 600 square feet on the Quietside of Mt Desert Island. There is one 'open concept' living space containing the bedroom, kitchen and living room. The 3-piece bathroom is the only walled area in the house.

24 is located in a desirable neighborhood in West Tremont. We are 5 miles from the center of Southwest Harbor where you will find a market, wine store, shopping and restaurants. The house is 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Park trails are as close as 10 minutes.

Acadia National Park extends to the Quietside with some lovely, less traveled, hikes up the Bernard Mountain.

The house is fully outfitted for two adults. There is a queen bed. The house is heated and has air conditioning. The bathroom is a three piece bath with a shower.

The kitchen has a full-sized stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and electric kettle. A modern retro fridge completes the look.

There is a large deck on the front of the house that has a water view to Duck Cove (see photos for images of the view). Stargazing from the deck can be spectacular using the in-house telescope.

Note: Like all homes in Tremont the house has a well and septic system. Not everyone likes to drink well water so we will provide 2 gallons of fresh spring water for your drinking use. Additional spring water is available in Southwest Harbor.

The house has wireless internet and an internet ready TV. Netflix and Hulu are available. Note there is no cable.

24 now has a full house generator. If the power goes out in Tremont - the generator will kick in after a 90 second delay. This is important as Tremont homes have well water and septic systems - which depend on electricity to work!

There is no washer or dryer - there is a large very clean public laundry in Southwest Harbor.

24 has off-street parking.
24 is not pet friendly.
No smoking is allowed on the property.
No cooking of lobsters in the house.
No frying of food in the house.

Wonderful starting point for Acadia NO

My wife and I stayed at 24 during our trip to Acadia NP. It was the perfect place for us. Very quiet and comfortable but close enough for a quick trip into town for groceries, etc. And the hosts were very easy to work with, both at check-in and check-out. Next time we’re in the area, we’re definitely checking on the possibility to stay here again.

Comfortable, remote

We had a comfortable stay at this cute little one-room house. The one downside is that the location is a bit far from most services and park attractions, so we spent a lot of time in the car.

Beautiful cottage on MDI

The property was perfect for my husband and I. The decor of the house is so nice and the location very private and quiet. Close to restaurants and a short drive into Acadia National Park. Very beautiful! Highly recommend. Art and Karen Chesterfield NJ

Beautiful Studio Close to Southwest Harbor

We just spent a most enjoyable week in this beautifully decorated little cottage. It is conveniently located close to Southwest Harbor on the much better Quiet Side of MDI. Our hostess Karen was extremely kind and helpful, and it was thanks to her plentiful recommendations that we dined like kings during our entire stay, which we absolutely deserved after those hikes we did. We had the best possible MDI experience and will definitely be back. Thanks so much!

Peaceful

Cottage 24 was perfect for my husband and I. We have been staying on the island in September for the last 5-6 years at different venues, bed and breakfast, campground, motel, etc. This was the best fit by far. Self contained, with everything we could have needed. Clean and comfy. The owner was very responsive to our one concern and addressed it immediately. We love staying on the quiet side of the island and this was our most peaceful, relaxing stay by far!

We have been living in West Tremont for 9 years. We live in the house on the property adjoining 24 but do not intrude on the privacy of our guests.

What makes this property unique

24 is a quiet escape from the crowds one can find on the busy season. An adorable little house - perfect for a couple, it was designed to provide the comforting relaxation one needs after a day of hiking!
