About Hulls Cove: Hulls Cove is one of Bar Harbor’s original seaside settlements — a quiet, scenic cove named for early settler John Hull. While Bar Harbor village became a bustling Gilded Age getaway, Hulls Cove stayed peaceful and residential, known for its protected beach and ocean views. Today, it’s best known as the gateway to Acadia National Park — the park’s main Visitor Center is right here in the neighborhood.
Whether you spend your days hiking Acadia’s famous trails, biking the carriage roads, exploring tidal pools at low tide, or simply relaxing on the lawn chairs with a book, this cottage offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Come enjoy the simplicity and natural beauty of the Maine coast. We can’t wait to welcome you to Hulls Cove!

Perfect location, especially if you are hiking or cycling in the park! Also really easy to get downtown by just flagging the free bus down. Highly recommended!
the cottage was so homey. Wonderful location. Easy parking and unloading our car. Ate most meals in clean and cute kitchen with all conveniences of home. Close to park and cute downtown area. Perfect.
Second time we stayed at this location and its proximity to Acadia and the town of Bar Harbor allows for relaxation as well as shopping and hiking as needed. The view from the lawn seating of the bay is ideal.
Cove Cottage is a spotless and comfy place to stay while exploring all that Bar Harbor has to offer. It provided everything we needed and more for our five night stay. We loved the place!
The entrance to Arcadia is just 1/4 mi down the road and a great place to eat is right across the street.

Great location
House was in an amazing location! We loved walking over to The Chart room in the evenings for dinner. The beds and pillows were so comfy! We had a mix up while trying to check in and her neighbor was kind enough to reach out and let us in.
Overall we were happy with our stay at Cove Cottage, we enjoyed the many activities the area offers and lots and lots of seafood. The cottage is located in a convenient location across the street from a beach on Hulls Cove.
Entrance to Acadia is close by. Cove Cottage offers alot and it's great to have a washer and dryer available. Another great stay.
It was our second stay at this cottage. It’s small but has all the necessary amenities. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, TV, WiFi, small area outside overlooking the bay with beautiful sunrises if wiling to get up by 6:00am. Very close to Hulls Cove Acadia National Park, walking distance. Couple of miles away from Bar Harbor. It was perfect for a family of 3 with a dog. Will be returning again.
Cozy cottage with a nice view and all the ameneties that we needed for the week that we stayed there. We had two dogs and the owner was very pet friendly.
The owner's sister lives next door and she is engaged in the rental process so if there are any issues (we had none) there is a level of comfort that they would be addressed promptly.
Good laundry facilities, decent TV, dishwasher, etc. There are two viable restaurants VERY close by and it's a very conveniant 2 mile drive to Bar Harbor.
The cottage was perfect for a family of 3 plus a dog. It was half a mile from Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia Park and 4 miles from Bar Harbor. It had everything we needed: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, fast internet ( son had to work remotely and was happy with internet speed), TV for rainy days, although we had fantastic weather and did not have to rely on all the satellite channels provided. The house was very clean which is of utmost importance and had cleaning supplies to maintain it spotless. Acadia is a magical place and now we have a perfect place to stay. We will be back.

Convienent to Bar Harbor
The cottage is quite nice and in our case perfect for just the 2 of us. We did not have pets with us this time but they are permitted at this rental.
The good - spacious, cozy house with just about all amenities you would need, while being only 10 minutes from center of Bar Harbor and a little more to Acadia.
The bad - there is now a second restaurant next door. There are 2 parking lots that face the property, and at any given time you may have cars sittings with headlights pointed on you while trying to enjoy the fire pit.
The noise from patrons of Bar Harbor Lobster Bakes can be annoying - as well as the trash or delivery trucks that were showing up between 2-4am almost daily and will wake you up.
The house is situated on the corner of 2 busy roads, so traffic can be intense, as well as confused tourists turning around in your driveway.
We also had an odd encounter with the neighbor mowing the lawn of the property while we were there - she rode past the main living room window twice, barely 3 feet from us, which we just found bizarre to do while the rental is occupied.
Overall if you want peace and quiet you will need to look on backroads or further from town - but it's tough to beat for convenience and proximity to Bar Harbor itself, especially being pet friendly.
Wonderful house, very clean with everything you could need. The outside seating area was great morning and night. Perfectly situated close to the park and in a quiet area.
Such a charming cottage and the location cannot be beat! To be able to walk to Acadia, be adjacent to two solid restaurants, a coffee shop, and a lovely wine store, and to watch the sun rise over Frenchmen's Bay was beyond magical. The owner was prompt with responding to our few logistical questions, and we could not have had a better stay. Thank you!
