Pool, dock, and fire pit area are shared between tenants renting a portion of the property. *Please note: the pool and dock are available in July and August, possibly in June and September.

Cottage #1:
SEA HEATHER (3 bedrooms/2 baths, sleeps 6) This is the largest of the three cottages.
FIRST FLOOR: Entry from the non-water side of the house opens to a fabulous eat-in kitchen with a large table that easily seats eight, plus counter seating for two. The Kitchen comfortably opens to a spacious Living Room with cathedral ceilings, a wall of windows overlooking the lawn and shoreline below, a large screened TV, plenty of cozy seating, and doors to the front deck. A Bedroom with a Queen and a shared Full Bath with a stall shower also features doors leading to the front deck.

SECOND FLOOR: To the left of the stairs, a Primary Bedroom features a King Bed, doors to a balcony overlooking the water, and an en suite Full Bath with a spectacular walk-in glass shower. To the right of the stairs, a Bedroom with two Double Beds and a unique window overlooking the Living Area and out to the water views. Note that this bedroom would share the 1st-floor full bath or the en suite bath in the Primary Bedroom.

Cottage #2
ROSA RUGOSA (2 bdrms/1 bath, sleeps 4)
FIRST FLOOR: Stairs lead from the driveway to a furnished front deck and entry to a combined Kitchen and Living area with a table that seats four. Though small, the galley-style Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home. A roomy Bedroom with a King Bed and Full Bath with a stall shower is also found on the first floor.

SECOND FLOOR: At the top of a very narrow staircase, a bedroom with Twins features windows overlooking the living area and enjoys water views beyond, but don't worry - the windows and bedroom can be closed off for privacy when appropriate.

Cottage #3:
WATER LILY
FIRST FLOOR: From its water-facing entry, step into this sweet bungalow which proves that good things do come in small packages! Open interiors, studio-style, with a large propane fireplace dividing the sleeping area from the kitchen and a beautiful Asian screen providing privacy from the bathroom area. Wall mounted TV, with deluxe king-sized Bed. Although lacking a full Kitchen, guests have sufficient counter appliances (apartment-sized fridge, convection toaster oven, microwave, and coffee maker) to prepare simple meals or morning coffee. Full Bath with extra large walk-in shower and separate commode room for privacy.

OUTDOOR SPACES: Furnished deck with pretty views across the water to the mainland beyond as well as a comfortable spot to dine or relax outside. Nice yard space for safe play, and, best of all - just a short walk from the house a luxurious heated pool is available for guests' use, shared with the other three residences on the property, one of which is the owner's. The other two residences may or may not be occupied by tenants. A shared fire pit space is also available for tenants' use. Stairs lead to the protected, kid-friendly shorefront, mostly composed of shale, rocky sand, and some ledge.

EXTRAS: Shared swimming pool, new dock, and beautiful stone fire pit to enjoy! Please note: The pool is typically available during July and August, with possible availability before or after—please inquire. It is heated using solar power, so the temperature may vary depending on the weather.

Air conditioning: Rosa Rugosa and Water Lily only.

    The property was perfect for us. We rented all 3 houses for our family. The views were stunning and the location was excellent. We enjoyed the dock/ water as my kids brought kayaks and the pool was a wonderful gathering spot. I highly recommend for larger families!

    A quiet compound of 3 homes set at the end of a lane opening to a spectacular view of Eastern Bay just off Frenchman Bay. Waking to fog and sipping coffee on any of our 3 porches. Watching playful otters, porpoises while sitting on the dock. Family members enjoyed the use of the paddle board and kayak. Drive to Acadia Park just up the road and so is Bar Harbor. Kids played in the pool while adults lounged in comfortable pool furniture. Kitchen had necessary items for cooking and eating. Each home had its own unique decor with plenty of towels for bathing and swimming. Home owner has provided much more than expected. Spent a lot of time reading on the dock and even bought fishing license to catch crabs and pick up mussels. Made for a very tasty dinner. Several evenings we used the firewood sitting around the fire pit. Our last evening several of our group sat on the dock to watch fireworks across the water. This location was ideal for our 3 families, separate homes for sleeping, yet bigger home great for meals and altogether time. We highly recommend renting. Finding a place for our 3 families isn't easy and we all agreed this was perfect.

    We had 9 people of all ages in our family stay and these cottages couldn’t have been any better for a family trip! They had everything we needed plus the most beautiful shoreline and just 5-15 mins to restaurants, Bar Harbor and Acadia. Each cottage was comfortable and well equipped with plenty of parking. We would absolutely stay there again!
