Just to the north of Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula, escape to our charming family cottage on the shores of Downeast Maine. A wildlife lover's dream, our guests have enjoyed visits by moose, foxes, seals, eagles, deer and wild rabbits, and steady stream of hummingbirds. Located on a small Maine island, it is easily accessible by car over a causeway. This two bedroom, two bath cottage has a cozy and welcoming ambiance that will make you feel right at home. A fully equipped kitchen invites you to cook at home and, of course, prepare your own lobster feast. Take in the evening performance of the moon and stars while gathering around the outdoor fire pit next to the shore.

The bay is perfect for kayaking and the rocky shore is an enjoyable spot to sit and take in nature, replete with sightings of eagles, loons and seals that call the bay home. Hikers will enjoy climbing Pigeon Hill or a trek through Petit Manan State Park, just a couple of miles down the road. Live Lobsters may be purchased daily from a nearby Lobster Pound, also located on Bar Island.

    The house is beautiful and peaceful, filled with love and memories you can see and feel. The views are amazing, and you can watch birds and boats in the bay, watch hummingbirds come to feed, and maybe see a bald eagle. Clean, fully stocked with anything you will need during your stay (minus food of course), and a perfect reset. The only problem with the property is that you have to leave.

    Our recent vacation at this house was absolutely fantastic! We were immediately struck by the great views, which truly made our stay unforgettable. We spent so much time out on the porch, mesmerized by the wildlife. Watching the seals play in the bay was a highlight, and we even spotted an eagle soaring overhead! The bay was teeming with fish, which attracted all sorts of birds alongside the seals, making for incredible natural entertainment.Beyond the stunning scenery, the house itself was wonderful. It was very clean and incredibly well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. We also loved relaxing in the front living area, simply soaking in those amazing views. The king size bed could use an upgrade it was not comfortable. However, the queen bed was extremely comfortable. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with incredible natural beauty right outside their door!

    The cottage was everything we could ask for. It sits on a beautiful bay and feels very secluded. We had a fire pit to sit by & enjoy the peace and quiet in the evenings. The cottage is cozy and filled with all sorts of beach & ocean decor. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and good sized. We would love to return someday!

    If you are looking for a quiet out of the way place to stay then this cabin/cottage is perfect. The location is remote but close to Acadia National Park. The views are great and the cabin is well appointed with movies, books, cooking items, games, etc. The outdoor firepit is great to sit around and relax in the evenings. Since there is very little light pollution the abundance of stars is great.

    We had so much fun during our stay in Milbridge. The house was perfect. We had the best view of the bay. I could have stayed in my spot on the sofa the whole time. The house had everything we needed. The only thing you need to know is there were no restaurants close by that were open. You also need to stop on Elsworth to get snacks, food, etc. I would rate this 5 stars.

    Great little property on the coast of Maine. Lovely little house with everything you need for a short or long stay. It was our first time to Maine so we were looking to do as much as possible in a short period in the area. Make sure you plan for provisions in Ellsworth because it’s a ride to civilization. ??

    Stayed for 4 nights at this lovely cottage. Was very relaxing watching the tides come in & out. I was able to experience a variety of weather while there, which was cool - foggy days to bright sunny days. John was very responsive.

    We had a wonderful time and relaxing stay, kayaking in the ocean, sitting by the fire at night and a reasonble drive to Bar Harbor where we enjoyed a couple days & drove to the top of Cadillac Mountain on a picturesque morning. Great place to stay.

    The cabin was everything noted online and very clean and the entire property was tidy. The location was oriented such that it felt very private was no noise around other than nature. Even saw bald eagles in their element. Entire process was easy and all met or exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this place for an extended vacation or even a short getaway.
