Perfect for social distancing, bright and private, with southwesterly views of the Blue Hill Bay, fabulous furnished, private and covered deck plus a private garden with a fire pit and access to a private beach. The enclosed garden is accented by flowering magnolia, wild raspberry bushes, which you are welcome to pick when in season (late July early August), crabapple trees and hydrangeas, great for relaxing on the Adirondack chairs, nap in the hammock, enjoy the starry Maine night sky, roastmarshmallows by the fire pit or dine al fresco at the bistro set. A wooded path to the beach is mere steps away and the cobblestoned parking area accommodates two cars. Being nestled in a corner of the pristine American Legion woods, the property is the perfect setting for wildlife sightings, swimming, kayaking and fishing. Hiking trails are all around, ranging from easy, short and flat to more challenging terrains and elevations.
The interior is scrupulously appointed with authentic mid-century modern classics mixed with some farmhouse accents. There is a luxuriously comfortable king size bed with high end mattress and a memory foam/green tea infused topper, and high quality percale linens. The apartment is best suited for a couple. Most Maine coastal summer nights are cool, but there is a fan and a/c, which regulates not only the temperature but also the humidity that blows in from the ocean during a few summer days. There is High speed internet (300 Mbps) for unlimited streaming, Direct TV, a bluetooth speaker to play music from your smartphone, tablet or laptop, a small classical guitar for those inclined, binoculars, a chess set, scrabble, dominos and playing cards. A small, eclectic library completes the setting for a leisurely vacation.

The property is two miles away from the quaint Blue Hill village, with a choice of restaurants, two libraries, museums, book stores, wine and cheese shop, gift shops, post office, hospital, two churches and the famous Tradewinds supermarket. Blue Hill is conveniently located for easy access to Stonington, Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island and is served by Bar Harbor Airport (22 miles) and Bangor International Airport (40 miles.)

A local business called The Activity Shop, rents kayaks, bikes, canoes, paddle boards, sail boats, wet suits & gear. They offer the option of delivering to your doorstep and picking-up when you are done. More leisurely minded activities exist as well, like puffin tours, moose safaris and bird spotting guided walking tours; if you are interested specifically in the puffin viewing boat tour, you would best be advised to plan (weeks ahead) to check dates for availability.

I am usually around for a chat to share ideas for activities that might interest you and answer any questions. I'm always interested in meeting people and learning new things.

    Warm and inviting. Fabiola was attentive with out being intrusive. She thought of everything including things for my dog. Besides the charming cottage, I had my own covered deck and fenced yard for the dog. The private beach on the bay is beautiful.

    Fabiola was very hospitable and friendly, and immediately made my pups and I feel welcomed. Her extra little touches were so thoughtful. The cottage is very convenient, sweet and comfortable. I would definitely hope to stay there again.

    This property was just what I needed for a quiet and peaceful time in the woods. There is a beautiful trail through the forest, down to a private beach. I didn't see another soul but listened to birds and squirrels. I brought my dog and she loved the fenced yard right outside the door.The night sky was spectacular for stargazing. Everything in the cottage was clean and comfortable.The hostess, Fabiola, was very thoughtful and kind. She met me at checkin to show me how everything works and answered any questions. I would recommend this place and hope to go back again.

    This was our favorite place to stay on our whole trip. It’s such an unexpected gem with a fantastic host. Fabiola took great care of the place, and was very hospitable whenever we had questions about the property or any food places, nearby attractions, etc. My wife and I would not hesitate to recommend this location to others!

    I need 6 stars for this review! Everything surpassed our hopes... the cottage is cozy, well appointed, and stylish. The host has thought ahead of every single detail. She was as open and friendly as she was informative and clear. We were warmly welcomed and then given space and privacy for the duration of our stay. The cottage, the private beach, the charming town of Blue Hill - everything hit all the right notes. We're looking forward to going back asap!

    The cottage was lovely - outfitted with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The furnishings and decor were thoughtfully curated from eclectic artwork to perfect lighting (it was no surprise to learn that Fabiola worked as a lighting designer). The walk down to the private beach may be a challenge for those with mobility issues but we had no trouble and found the beach to be quiet, clean, and very peaceful. The best part though was Fabiola's warm welcome and hospitality. She met us upon our arrival to give a tour of the property and made herself available if we needed anything, sending great recommendations for local spots we could visit with our dog, who was along for the weekend. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning. The one regret was that we wish we'd booked more than just a few days. Next time

    Blue Hill Cottage was perfect. The owner, Fabiola, met us upon arrival, gave us a tour, gave us welcoming gifts and was on call for all of our needs. She also sent dinner and touring information months in advance. It was the first time we did a trip where the owner actually planned out part of our vacation! It was much appreciated. Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Was stocked with everything we needed. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We highly recommend!!!

    The cottage is gorgeously decorated — light-filled and bright, with Belgian linen-lined alcoves and rich wood tones that strike a perfect balance between coastal simplicity and upscale charm. The covered deck overlooks the garden and fire pit, where I roasted marshmallows under the stars, and a short path leads you to a private stretch of shoreline—so peaceful and unique! Our host was wonderfully warm and accommodating. She thoughtfully provided detailed instructions on how to make the most of every feature—from setting up the fire pit to adjusting the A/C and streaming with the Wi‑Fi. A guest book brimming with local recommendations—where to dine, kayak, or hike—made planning out each day effortless and exciting. The enclosed garden is a delight. Adirondack chairs beckoned lazy afternoons. Plus, having your own private beach was a true highlight—ideal for early morning strolls, tide pooling, or simply listening to the water. Our dogs loved rollicking off leash on the beach, which was a real treat. If you’re searching for a Maine getaway with serious style, warmth, and that special touch of seaside seclusion, this is the place. Five stars, no question — I’m already dreaming of my next stay!

    This is a very special and unique property! Fabiola made us feel right at home… the cottage is comfy, spacious, and well decorated. A wonderful location for visiting Acadia, while also getting away from the crowds and into a classic little New England village.

    We had a wonderful relaxing vacation thanks to our host Fabi and her sweet dog, Otto. Fabi has attempted to provide for all of our needs. The cottage is meticulously appointed and furnished with luxury linens. The king size bed is very comfortable even with our pup getting up on the cover. We appreciated that there was adequate storage enabling us to unpack our suitcases. The relaxing music of chirping birds when the window is open was a plus for us. But there is also a wireless speaker you can utilize. The kitchen is minimal in size but the refrigerator is standard and the air fryer, microwave, stove and coffee making options met our needs. There is also a fire pit that we didn’t use. We enjoyed reading on the covered porch. Yes, you can see the water from the porch. We greatly appreciated that Fabi had treated both our fenced yard and Otto’s adjoining yard for ticks and other vermin. Our Sophia loved playing with Otto and running in his big yard. Thank you Otto for sharing and being such a gentleman. We stayed a week this year. We plan to return for a longer stay in 2026. There is so much to do, see and explore in Blue Hill and the surrounding area. Fabi’s cottage handbook has a great deal of information. She is available to answer your questions. We enjoyed our basket of treats, 2 cappuccino coupons plus a toy 4 Sophia. Fabi greeted us & took her time familiarizing us with everything.We encourage you to choose Fabi’s chic cottage.

    My husband and I celebrated our 28th anniversary here and had such a lovely time. Fabiola has created a beautiful sanctuary. The room had everything we needed (one thing to note if you plan to cook is that you can’t fry things. She does have an air fryer that’s available.) Fabiola is quick to respond to texts and she thought of everything to make it a welcoming stay. The location is quite central to the various islands. And the local Hill’s bakery and Arborvine restaurant are highlyRecommended.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Hills Cottage. Fabiola is the perfect host, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys hosting people. Super cozy and well appointed cottage, set in a beautiful landscape. It is the perfect place to stay if you have dogs, as it is fully fenced and perfect for them. We would definitely come back and stay here. Thank you again Fabiola for your hospitality and kind heart!

    Fabiola's Blue Hill Cottage is tastefully furnished and impeccably decorated, reflecting her experience as a design and decorating professional. The Cottage is comfortable and convenient for two, and Fabiola has provided most everything you'll need for a short or longer stay. The Cottage is very private despite being adjacent to the host's home. The village of Blue Hill is only two miles away, and the entire peninsula is readily accessible. If weather permits, be sure to spend some time on the Cottage's upper deck.

    I spent a magical time at this fabulous cottage in Blue Hill. It was the perfect size for me and the dogs loved the yard! Located close enough to town to be able to run in quickly to get whatever I needed, I was also on the road to everywhere else in this great part of Maine. The best was the hostess, Fabiola. She made me feel like a houseguest and introduced me to Blue Hill and all its wonderful people. We will be back! We love the cottage, I have a new friend in Fabiola and the pups loved their afternoon romps in the big yard with Otto. Next year- a month!
