The two bathrooms have custom stone showers, the softest terry towels and a washer and dryer.

The house boosts brand new, designer furnishings throughout, stone and wide-plank wood floors, high-speed wifi, central air-conditioning and heat, a security system, tons of windows and natural light, and a large propane Weber outdoor grill. Gorgeous water views and shore seating at the back of the main house (not the Cottage) and water access on the beautiful sandy beach of Hulls Cove, completes the package and makes Balance Cottage, the perfect spot for your next vacation.brbrThis unique property provides privacy, solitude and security, while being just minutes from the thrills of Acadia National Park and the excitement of downtown Bar Harbor, with its many shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. The shorefront of this south facing property provides views of Cadillac Mountain, the Bar Harbor skyline, the Porcupine Islands, Frenchman's Bay with its working lobster boats, and breathtaking sunrise and moon-rise views. Jump on your kayak, from the Hulls Cove beach and paddle away. Pairs of loon, and seals with their pups, will share the cove as you glide by. Return to explore a shore littered with sea glass, nautical buoys and the occasional lobster trap.brbrAcadia National Park is within walking distance ( it is less than a mile to the park entrance and Welcome Center.) Acadia is a gem and offers 30,000 acres, including 100 miles of car-free bike paths, mountain climbing, hiking, fishing, boating, swimming, bird watching, kayaking and breathtaking mountain vistas. Wildlife abounds and adds to the natural beauty. The park is a photographer's dream and talented photographers and park rangers lead educational expeditions daily.brbrAll four seasons are special in Bar Harbor and must be experienced at the magnificent Balance Cottage, to fully be appreciated. The crystal clear, low humidity, days of summer. Day-tripping to explore the out-islands and enjoy lunch. Lobster rolls on the dock, while watching the fishermen bring in their catch. The old-fashioned magic of July 4th, with the parade and heart stopping fireworks. Whale watching, music in the park, and souvenir shopping at the many shops or art shows. An unforgettable hike in Acadia, with the view from the top of the trail, imbedded in your brain. A mouth-watering dinner in town and then returning to Balance, for a glass of wine around the fire pit and a chance to re-live the day. Hearing the mystical call of the loon as you fall asleep in your heavenly bed, knowing your family will never forget this special time together.brbrAutumn brings the majestic leaves in a cornucopia of colors, the hillsides a patchwork quilt full of golds, yellows and reds. The crisp air, the corn mazes, apple orchards, hay rides, pumpkin patches and apple cider doughnuts. Beautiful mums and other seasonal offerings line the shelves of the shops in town and photographers attempt to record the unforgettable colors of the season. The wildlife around Balance, are getting ready for winter and a hint of cherry-wood smoke can be detected in the air. Vacationers stop into pubs around town to enjoy a crab taco, a brick-oven pizza and a pumpkin beer. A drive up Cadillac Mountain to see the fall color is in order, followed by a hike around Jordan Pond to glimpse the beavers preparing for winter.brbrWinter at Balance Cottage, on Mount Desert Island, is special. Pure, crystal snow, blankets the area and Norman Rockwell scenes abound. The mist rises off the warmer water of Frenchman's Bay and forms a low lying fog, as it hits the cold air above. The cross-country ski trails open in Acadia National Park and the snowmobile trails are groomed by riders on their first ride of the season. Christmas is celebrated with Midnight Madness shopping sprees in town and visits from Santa himself. Ice skating ponds fill up and ice fishermen scatter the frozen lakes. White lights twinkle in the windows of Balance Cottage, and snuggling up with a good book or glass of wine by the fire, while snowflakes fall outside the window, is the perfect ending to the day.brbrThe renewed glory of spring is best enjoyed at Balance. The flowering trees and shrubs are in bloom and birdsong fills the air. Sand Beach is deserted and the perfect place to pick up sea glass and other treasures. Begin a new collection of smooth, heart shaped, rocks and realize once you look closely, they are everywhere to be found. The Bar Harbor Inn hosts its famous Easter Brunch and Easter Egg Hunts fill the parks. Enjoy a day at Eagle Lake and return to Balance, for a family dinner around the massive oak dining table. In the morning, step out onto the porch to view the neighborhood Doe, with its white-spotted fawn, cross the lawn, stop and look, as though posing for a photograph.brbrBalance Cottage, offers the vacationer every comfort and pleasure, during all four seasons each year. Return to Balance, again and again, to experience it all. We welcome your visits and will do everything to ensure your stay is luxurious, carefree, and perfect in every way... just like you have always dreamed.brbrRegistration #VR2R24-008
