Quiet oasis across the street from Acadia and just steps from the harbor

Relax with the whole family at this quiet, peaceful place in the center of Seal Harbor village. Acadia is literally across the street and the best carriage roads in the park are a short walk down the street in one direction, with Seal Harbor Beach a short walk in the other. Pemetic, Penobscot, Cadillac, and Day mountains are all accessible without even getting into the car. It is a short walk out the front door to Jordan Pond House, Wildwood Stables, and Seal Harbor Beach.

In classic Maine fashion, this handsome cottage was originally built in 1890 as a workshop for a local carpenter. It has since been lovingly restored and converted to a summer home in the best spot on the island for easy access to carriage roads, central peaks, and sailing in the Great Harbor.

A one-floor living space featuring an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space. The space is incredibly bright, with windows covering the entire western end of the building and plenty of southern exposure.

There is a large pullout couch and an oversized chair and ottoman in the main living room and a dining table that seats six.

The kitchen is clean, efficient, and outfitted with all of the necessary tools. All of the artwork featured throughout the house is by local artisans.

There are two bedrooms, both with oversized windows for plenty of light. The master has a queen bed with double closet. The second bedroom has a double and a twin bed with double closet.

Outdoors is a seating area with cedar Adirondack chairs made by a local craftsman and a Weber propane grill for your use.

There is plenty of parking for up to three vehicles. A full size washer and dryer are free to use as needed.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Perfect location for exploring Acadia. Away from the business of bar harbor but quick and easy drive to restaurants and shops. Within walking distance of e bike rentals which was a great way to explore the park. House was in a quiet area and very clean. Would definitely recommend/stay there again for my next Acadia trip. Michael was quick to respond to any questions.

A perfect location for Acadia exploration!

This cosy, charming place tucked away in a neighborhood was a perfect base for us to explore the park by bike, on foot and so convenient to the other small towns of Mt Desert Island. It was a very memorable visit and we were delighted with its sunny and comfortable location.

This place was so cute and made getting in to Acadia easy. My only complaint was it was listed for up to 6 people but there was an extra charge for more than 4 guests which wasn’t obvious until checkout. However we had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Place in right in Acadia Backyard

The place was a perfect place to stay for a visit to Acadia. Within walking distance to the carriage roads and a very short drive to the entrance to the park. House was in a nice quiet location and the accommodations were everything we needed it to be. The owner was very friendly and helpful in making suggestions on hikes, food, and other adventures.

The cottage is nice and clean in a quiet location. Very close to the Acadia national park and seal harbor beach. Easy communication with the owner. We love the kitchen, provided all things we need. We cooked one simple meal. We're very satisfied with everything at the cottage. The nearby restaurants at Northeast Harbor are limited, one was closed at dinner time during our visit, the other was not very good. For other days, we drove further to Bar Harbor where more good restaurants are located. Overall, we're very happy with our stay.
