Blue Hill, Maine
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, roast marshmallows 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’s place was great! She was so attentive and was there if we needed anything. Her place was so clean and cozy. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay.
We had an incredible stay at Fabiola's cottage! Fabiola was incredibly communicative, and she greeted us when we arrived. She offered us a tour of the property, and she even put together the cutest welcome basket for us -- with a dog for our pup! The apartment was spotless, warm, and cozy. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, and Fabiola had made sure that we had fire wood and lighters available. There is also a huge fenced in yard that was perfect for our dog. He loved being able to run free! We stayed in the apartment and drove to Acadia every day for hikes, and it worked out wonderfully. The kitchen had everything we needed to make small dinners for ourselves at home and rest before the next day's adventure. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay with your pet as a home base for exploring the national park, look no further!
Fabiola is an awesome hostess!❤️. She thought of everything to make our stay comfortable a basket full of goodies and keepsakes to a toy for our dog. ( which is now his favorite toy) Awesome play dates with her pup,Otto. But seperate yards in case they don’t get along. She was available but respected our privacy. The accommodations were very private. The private beach was awesome. The bed was very comfortable, a cute kitchen with all the amenities needed. Can’t say enough about our stay a Bluehill Cottage.5+stars all around.
This was a fun spot to stay at during our time in Maine. We enjoyed the place and particulary appreciated the A/C and dehumidifier and close location to Blue Hill!
I have never felt more taken care of during our stay at Fabiola's beautiful cottage! My husband and I spent a weekend getaway here with our dogs, and it was nothing short of perfect. The cottage is impeccably decorated, the property is just plain special, especially if you're a dog owner, and Fabiola is a wonderful, attentive, and genuine host. My only regret is not staying a few more days--but we'll be back. :)
A quaint cottage with eclectic furnishings combine to create a cozy and comfortable suite for two. The rooms are supplied with thoughtful conveniences for use throughout your stay. The caring host made us feel very welcome and is available if needs arise. A welcome basket of tasty goodies and handy items was a pleasant surprise. Our stay was in chilly off-season but we took the short walk to the beach anyway. It looked appealing with easy water access which is unusual for the area.
Staying at Fabiola’s guest cottage, felt as welcoming as staying with a long lost cousin. We had a splendid, relaxing time. Fabiola had many thoughtful touches, our favorite of which was the dog toy she chose, especially for our dog. It’s his new favorite! Location is great with easy access to blue hill and close to Ellsworth. there was no noticeable road noise. We highly recommend this place to others.
We spent a long weekend at the cottage and it was just perfect. Drove into Acadia National Park and spent a few days for hiking. Highly recommend!
Blue Hill Cottage was everything we were hoping for and more. Fabiola was a wonderful host, who was gracious with her time and recommendations. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was available anytime if needed. Upon arrival, Fabiola had a basket of goodies waiting for us,, which even included a little gift for our pup! The home was well stocked with anything you could need.. There is plenty of outdoor space, including access to a private beach just a short walk from the house. When we return to the area, we hope to stay at Blue Hill Cottage again!
We stayed at the cottage for a few nights while visiting Acadia National Park. The location was perfect for us, only about 45 minutes from the park and away from the congestion of Bar Harbor. The cottage was quaint, charming, and comfortable, with stylish details and fun amenities like the gorgeous outdoor living room! Fabiola herself was communicative and helpful, and left thoughtful touches that made us feel welcome. We would love to return!
