About this property

Oceanfront retreat with sunrise views, screened porch, & deck

  • Admire spectacular views of Mt. Desert Narrows from nearly every room of this oceanfront cottage, peacefully situated in a wooded grove on Brooklin's scenic shores. This is what coastal living in Maine is all about - sipping your coffee on the screened porch at sunrise and watching the passing sailboats from your deck in the afternoon.

    This single-story, oceanfront home sits five miles north of small-town Brooklin. The house itself is private and independent, but it is also part of a larger family compound with a common road (and the homeowner living next door). Hike the Hundred Acre Wood Trail just down the street, head out to Deer Isle for a quiet day of exploring (eight miles south), and take unforgettable excursions to Acadia National Park (37 miles).

    The cottage is a showcase of its surroundings, from the path that leads through the trees to the ocean shore to the glass doors and windows that frame the view at every turn. After a day spent hiking, kayaking, sailing, or driving the Midcoast, come home to light the gas grill, share stories on the back deck, and dine outside in the fresh ocean air.

    Inside, the light-filled living space is accented by an open floor plan and beautiful details of natural wood. Whether you're utilizing the stainless steel kitchen appliances to prepare dinner, playing board games at the dining room table, or streaming movies in the living room, you'll do it all with a panoramic view of the water. Come nightfall, rest assured that everyone will sleep soundly amidst the plush bedding available in each of the bedrooms.

Great place to stay.

Beautiful views. We saw eagles,seals and a crab boat checking his pots. We drove to bar harbor several times with plenty of sea food places along the way. There was 5 of us and we had lots of room to relax.

This is a beautiful modern rustic home with an absolutely gorgeous view of the bay. It is the most tranquil place, yet not too far from Blue Hill to shop and have dinner. I would definitely return!

Perfect Maine home

We absolutely loved our time at this home. It was quintessential Maine. It has wonderful harbor and Acadia views. We loved getting up and having coffee on the screened in porch and after a day in Acadia, we loved coming home to build a fire and sit outside. After the crowds of Acadia it was refreshing to come back to this home and enjoy the water and peace. I would recommend this home to anyone travelling the coast of Maine.

So Peaceful

The cabin was perfect for us. Two couples who enjoy traveling together found this to be a perfect spot to enjoy Maine. Amenities and location were a plus. Bar Harbor, quaint little towns, Acadia National Park were on our list to visit. The sunrise was spectacular and the moon glistening on the water was awe inspiring. My only regret was we had to check out! We could have stayed longer, so there will be a next time!

Great family trip to Maine!

We loved the little house in Brooklin. While it was far from many of the sites, we didn't mindusing it as our home base to travel to Acadia and Damariscotta, along with other places. The house was comfortable, had a well stocked kitchen, and was a good layout for our family of 4 with 2 teenage boys. There was a good bit of fog, which was disappointing, but the views were beautfiul when we could see them.

House near Acadia National Forest

We loved this house. The house sits right on the ocean and has an amazing view. It’s an easy 1 hour drive to Bar Harbour. It has 2 large bedrooms and a 3rd bedroom with 2 twins. It is immaculate and looks new. We could have stayed for another 1-2 weeks.

Simply Wonderful

Lil See is an idyllic cottage in a supremely beautiful part of Maine. The cottage is clean, well-designed, very comfortable and the kitchen is cute and easy to cook in. With two littles in tow having a washer and dryer was essential. The views from the cottage are amazing and the location is remote enough to be quiet but with lovely hikes and the conveniences of Blue Hill only a few minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!

A perfect getaway for my family

This place is a beautiful family home situated in a quaint and quiet area of Maine away from the touristy destinations. However, the drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park was quick and serene. The amenities and quality of this house was over the top and it had all the things we needed to prepare for family dinners and to spend time outside near the fire pit. The view from the back was charming and picturesque with direct access to the water. Overall, our stay was relaxing and unforgettable. There were no problems during our stay and we would gladly stay here again.

Vacation Bliss

The home is situated on the waterfront with an amazing view. Very comfortable bedrooms and living areas which we all enjoyed. Not enough time to truly appreciate the home's quiet ambiance. One of the guest's left behind a family photo album which was quickly mailed back to her...for that we are so thankful. We highly recommend this property and would return again when we could spend more time just relaxing in the solitude.

The View is Everything!

Arrived to a clean, well decorated cottage. Smaller than expected for four adults. The view made up for any shortcomings. A small screened in porch, a deck, large flat granite rocks, the outside seating options are numerous. Best part of our day, coffee on the deck watching lobster boats, hearing loons, marveling at the sunrise. Be aware the use of the fireplace is prohibited. Would have been great on a rainy day. Location is good with proximity to Ellsworth for groceries, Bucklyn coffee in Blue Hill. Brooklin Country Store for breakfast sandwiches and baked goods, annd other surrounding areas. Again, while a bit tight in the living room and kitchen, the view and outside area made this a strong option for a repeat visit.
