Quiet and Cozy Seaside Cottage with Amazing Sunsets

Welcome to our family seaside cottage, since 1964 generations have enjoyed this quiet cozy ocean side retreat! Whether it's being outdoors swimming or boating on Carrying Place cove, searching for sea glass & shells on the rock beaches of Pigeon Hill Bay, Blueberry & Raspberry picking, hiking in the Pigeon Hill Conservation area or Petit Mann Wildlife Refuge, sunning on the back deck listening to the sounds of nature, playing croquet in the large backyard or relaxing inside with one of many books by the gas fireplace, or sit at the large dinning table and challenge yourself with one of many puzzles or board games; this unique cottage offers something for everyone. For all there is the Milky Way Galaxy unfolding above you, looking up at one of clearest night sky's in the northeast!
This very clean and well maintained cottage features a fully equipped large kitchen and one full bathroom. Four to eight people can comfortably sleep in the one bedroom (queen bed) and the three other areas of separated flex space, each with its own full sized futon or fold out sofa, The cottage offers a 4g, WiFi connection, a large TV with Amazon fire stick to stream your favorite shows and movies, BBQ grill, a land line phone for emergencies, and washer & dryer.

Nice stay

Our family of 5 stayed and had a very nice time. The view from the back was amazing. I wish we had more time to do things around the house instead of just going to Bar Harbor. Great, clear instructions and recommendations were left at the house. There were a lot of breakables that might need to get moved if you have little kids (our youngest is 7).

A summer retreat (return trip) to a quiet and beautiful area. Hiked in gorgeous nature preserves every day and hung out on the crescent pebble beach across the road. Bliss!

Great vacation spot.

This was initially a little further out than I had thought but that turned out to be a wonderful advantage. It was just perfect for our vacation. It had everything we needed and the view of the sky was spectacular.

Great location and atmosphere

If you’re looking for a little bit of an adventure, rather than a bland modern hotel room in town, this is a great choice. It reminded me of the house at the lake I grew up in, in northern Michigan, with lots of outdoors to enjoy and enough of the right amenities inside. Steve was very responsive and welcoming.

Wonderful stay

This house was comfortable, well provisioned, and had the added benefit of accessibility with a ramp, shower chair, and a grab bar in the shower. Everything we wanted was easily found and the kitchen had all a cook could ever want. The water view in the back and abundance of wildlife just added to the experience.

Great quiet spot

Super clean place, nice big kitchen with actually sharp knives. This was very close to some great hiking spots. Space enough for my family of four. We also enjoyed the view out back and saw deer, herons, and lots of dragonflies. Beds are comfy, and we all slept very well at night. This was perfect for a week to decompress. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful

Lovely, a very romantic, quiet and clean location. The stars are amazingly beautiful, so are the fireflies. Highly recommend staying here. If you walk a bit down the road, you will be walking along the ocean which is amazing. Location can't be beat, 5-10 minute drive from amazing natural parks.

Perfect trip

The cabin was just as described and then some! The beds were comfortable, the cabin spacious, and the views breathtaking. Steven was very communicative leading up to and after checkout. My kids enjoyed seeing and hearing all the wildlife, and enjoying cups of coffee on the back porch was my highlight

Wonderful Experience!

We had our original VRBO cancel last minute, so we found this place, we are so glad we did! Steven was wonderful to work with, he always reponed within an hour or less. The house was so clean, well stocked, and so much fun. Get up, walk down the road and watch the sunrise, it's worth it. Highly recommend staying here!

This was an awesome place to stay! The cabin had everything we needed and was clean and in a beautiful location. The check in process was seamless. The owner Steven checked in with us a couple of times via text to see if we had any questions or needed anything.. Which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing views of the ocean and the night sky

If you’re wanting a nice place that’s off the beaten path, this is the place. Still within easy drive of Acadia, but also opens up a day trip to Campobello Island, West Quoddy light, and Eastport for whale watching. Even more spectacular was the view of the night sky. As dark skies are becoming rarer and rarer, being able to see the Milky Way not just as a haze but with defined dust lanes and bright enough to walk around outside by, it’s an astronomers dream as well.An incredibly short walk to the nature preserve left us with up close views of bald eagles, porcupine, deer, and there was even a seal in the cove behind the house at high tide. If you’ve got a small boat, you can row out to Abbot Island for a picnic (which we did twice). An amazing place - with all the amenities you could ask for. Just plan ahead - it’s not a ten minute hop to the grocery store - and that’s one of the great things about it!
The house - bigger than the listing says!

10/10 would recommend

This cabin was the perfect way to start our vacation in Maine. The cabin is secluded but there is still activities to do 20-30 min away. The host left us a list of things to do and restaurants to try that were around the area. The cabin has an amazing view of the sunset over the water and the stars were stunning. We saw a family of deer in the backyard. It felt like a home away from home! We would love to go back one day!
