The Joys of Jellison Cove

What a little piece of heaven this place is! The interior of the home is beautiful with an open floor plan for the kitchen, dining, and living areas and large windows overlooking the pine trees and Jellison Cove. We loved the view from inside in the comfy chairs, as well as from the two adirondack chairs overlooking the cove—listening to birds singing, loons calling, the waves and watching the sunrise. It was very happily situated. This home had a lot of wonderful amenities that we didn’t get the chance to utilize like the patio set in the screened in porch, the picnic table and fire pit, and the propane grill. Everything was well stocked. The kitchen had all sorts of pots, pans, utensils, Ziploc bags, aluminum foil, etc.. The bathrooms were well supplied with towels, wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, and toilet paper. There were extra blankets and pillows, which was nice.Truly the only thing we could think of that would improve this place is a king-size bed. We are used to a king-size, so we had a harder time adjusting to the queen.We were only about a 40-45 minute drive from Bar Harbor and hiking at Acadia. In the other direction, we were about 35 minutes from the Schoodic part of Acadia. We enjoyed dining three times at Crocker House Country Inn just an 8-minute drive from the house. Charming place with great food and friendly service.We spent 7 days in this house and could have stayed a lot longer! It was hard to leave! Definitely a gem!
My husband took this photo from the steps of the house one morning when the sun was rising.
The gorgeous view of Jellison Cove from my comfy chair as I read.
Happily situated. It felt private even though there were neighbors on either side. We could hardly tell they were there.
Nice open floor plan with big beautiful windows that show off the view. Each window also had a shade we could pull for privacy, which was a thoughtful touch.

Perfect For Couples

The ocean view with the lush tall trees was so amazing. It was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting in the lounge chairs by the water and using the fire pit. The house itself is lovely and well maintained. We were totally happy with our decision to stay there.

Great views

Great stay, especially for the price. Absolutely beautiful view of the bay and very little light pollution. However the indoor fireplace was broken which was something we specifically chose the vrbo for, and there is mold behind the toilet attached to the primary bedroom. Be warned that the tap water is also pretty salty well water, so we bought our own. The shower is also a bit small. Overall, pretty clean, great location, great views, comfortable bed, and I'd stay here again.

Perfect Cottage

This was the best place to stay for us while visiting the Acadia National Park region. It was perfect for 2 adults and had everything we needed. It is on a quiet cove with fantastic views of the harbor. We loved having our coffee down by the water's edge in the mornings. We saw 2 bald eagles right on our little beach! My favorite part of the whole stay was probably the stargazing. There are 2 beach loungers just outside the back door that were perfect for staring at the sky. I have never seen starts so bright and clear! A very romantic lovely cottage! Just perfect!

Lovely Maine Cottage

Cottage is in a lovely, quiet, peaceful location...within a short drive to Acadia National Park. (Both the main park and the Schoodic Peninsula section of the Park. ) Absolutely breathtaking views from the large windows of the cottage. Cottage is very well maintained and well decorated for a perfect stay. Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking necessities but there are also several excellent restaurants located in nearby towns. It was a perfect relaxing getaway. And our first trip to Maine and hopefully not our last!

The home was perfect for two people, spotlessly clean and well stocked. Lots of outdoor seating, which we loved. The view was incredible, and we enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise every morning.

Couples Cove was perfect in every way. The setting was just too beautiful for words. We enjoyed wonderful sunrises, eagles soaring every day, seals, baby red fox and just Gods majestic handiwork. It was really hard for us to leave every morning b because we just wanted to stay there! . The cottage itself was just lovely… that whole wall of windows to view the cove! Wow! It had everything we needed and had very comfortable accommodations. The notebook was very helpful. Communication was great. It truly was the perfect vacation and we feel so very blessed.

Absolutely beautiful setting very much enjoyed the location. Saw seals and bald eagles at the property. Only reason it’s a 4 and not a 5 is the bed needs a new mattress and the kitchen could be better equipped with things like decent knives and a garbage can with a lid.

This property is exactly as advertised, except they don't tell you how relaxed and renewed you will feel after a few days. From the time you arrive until you have to leave, it is where you want to be. After visiting the Acadia NP, coming home each day was a joy. Watching the sunrise from the blue chairs is the only way to start the day. The property is super clean and has all the comforts of home. Nothing is overlooked.
