Space
Beautiful coastal area - enjoy biking, birding, hiking, kayaking canoeing and swimming. Sailing crusies on the bay are also available. Interesting and stimulating cultural events and some great places to eat and shop. The cottage is private and includes a sleeping loft, futon couch on the ground floor, small kitchenette, bathroom with an very good hot shower, and a baby grand piano. This is a musician's perfect getaway to practice, compose, record, and delve into their music.

Guest access
Guests have access to a kitchenette in the cottage and a full kitchen my nearby home. High speed internet. Free parking right next to the cottage.

Guest interaction
I really enjoy getting to know guests but I will also respect your privacy. I love the area and know it well. I would be very happy to show you around a bit if we can both find the time

Getting around
There is limited public transportation available in Surry. However, the city of Ellsworth is located approximately 10 miles away where there is bus service to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Bangor. The village of Blue Hill is located about 8 miles away.

Other things to note
There is a beautiful vista of approximately 20 miles out to the peaks of the mountains of Acadia National Park from the deck of the cottage. The unique and internationally known Surry Concert Barn is about a two minute walk from the cottage. We plan to have a summer program of arts and other special topic events including concerts, films, theater, art exhibitions, etc.

This apartment is located in a spacious, newly-renovated Maine barn on a beautiful and historic farm. It is a five minute walk to nearby scenic Morgan Bay, very close to hiking trails, biking and swimming. Acadia National Park is about 45 minutes away.

The farm offers a seasonal performing arts center featuring classical, jazz, singer songwriter and blues series among others.

Few rental spaces offer all of this in a ten-minute radius.

Pets: Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $50.00 for the one pet or $80 for two pets. The fee for the first pet is included in your VRBO total. If bringing more than one pet, the additional pet fee is payable in cash at checkout. Stays longer than 7 days will need to discuss possible additional pet cleaning fees with the host. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury.

Late arrivals after 9:00 PM are subject to a late fee of $25.00.

Additional guests: For more than 2 guests, there is an additional fee of $25 per guest per night.

    The cottage was perfect for our needs. Our son LOVED the grand piano. We enjoyed the newspaper clipping showing the history of the place and all the interesting books. We also appreciate being able to hike nearby. Maine is so beautiful.

    Check in was way more in person than we wanted. Kitchen sink was in the bathroom and that was definitely not disclosed in property information. Host was helpful in getting back items that we carelessly left at thr property, and that was appreciated. He was also friendly, just expected that we had interaction with him and that was not the vibe we were going for, and something that was disclosed in the property info. View was nice. Only sink being in the bathroom was the only actual problem we had.

    Overall a nice cottage with good amenities. Town was a little far off with not many places open, but overall a pretty area. Would just expect to not be near too much if you are staying here for an extended period of time.

    My fiance and I had a wonderful time using Alan’s place a home base while we explored Acadia and the surrounding area. There were beautiful trails nearby where we walked our dogs, and the stars from the cabin at night were breath-taking. We’ll definitely be back!

    We only stayed one night, but would have loved to stay more. Very quiet location with great star viewing. Close enough to Acadia (45mins). Blue Hill Coop was a great local shop for groceries. Would recommend. Alan was a very friendly host !

    Communication with Alan was a little bit odd. Prior to my stay I only received automated communication messages and when I texted him the day of to get information he didn’t reply at first. I later had to call him to get information. Also be aware of the $20 late fee for arriving after 9pm. It is listed but easy to glaze over. Alan did make sure to show us around the property and for what my friend and I needed - a place to sleep and shower - it did the job.

    My brother and I LOVED our stay. Not only is this cabin a great jump off for Acadia, but also in the heart of Surry which is a charming town in its own right. Dog friendly with plenty of quiet roads and trails near by. Perry’s Lobster Shack is a must during your stay. Thank you for everything, Alan!
