Located on the southwestern side of Mount Desert Island, West Tremont is a peaceful and scenic village that embodies the quiet charm of coastal Maine. With its rocky shoreline, lush woodlands, and working waterfront, West Tremont offers a retreat from the more tourist-heavy areas of the island while still being within easy reach of Acadia National Park.
This small community is home to lobster fishermen, artists, and nature lovers, creating a laid-back and authentic Maine atmosphere. The nearby Goose Cove and Seal Cove areas provide stunning water views, perfect for kayaking, wildlife watching, and enjoying serene sunsets over Blue Hill Bay.
With its unspoiled landscapes, local maritime heritage, and tranquil setting, West Tremont is a hidden gem for those seeking a quieter, more secluded experience on Mount Desert Island.

Staying at this wonderful home on the "quiet side" of the island was the best decision. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. We walked on the beach here, and took a quick 10 minute drive to an easy hike to see tide pools. The house had plenty of rooms for the 8 of us, plenty of sitting area for relaxing and visiting, a great table for dining and games, and the kitchen had all we needed for our cooking and baking. The drive to the busy side of the island was easy, and we enjoyed getting to know the other little towns and activities along the way. There were a few things we needed to reach the host about, and they were quick to respond. Great check in and check out procedures. We loved our stay here.
