Nestled just steps from the Acadia Gateway Center, our recently updated cottage offers a peaceful retreat just a few minutes off Mount Desert Island. Fire up the grill, indulge in fresh lobster feasts, and create unforgettable moments with loved ones. With easy access to Island Explorer shuttles and nearby trails, exploring Acadia National Park is a breeze. Pack your bikes, hiking boots, and appetite, and let Maine's wonders unfold before you!

We allow up to two pets for an additional fee (see house rules). No cats. additional $20 per/night pet fee. Furniture must remain covered and pets are not allowed on the beds, unless you bring your own linens.

The Space
The home features a master bedroom upstairs with a large balcony and an additional bedroom downstairs. There is also a very comfortable queen-sized sleeper sofa in the front sitting room for additional guests (up to six total).
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you should need for your stay, from a lobster pot to a crockpot. There is a great outdoor area to enjoy meals, grill, let your pups run, or have a campfire after a long day of hiking.

Guest Access
The whole house is yours except for the upstairs closet.

Other Things to Note
Both TVs are smart TVs and allow you to stream using your own accounts (Netflix, HBO Now, Spectrum, etc.). We have high-speed WiFi, and the password is written on the check-in sheet inside the home. There should be no issues working remotely from the house if needed.

The water is safe to drink but does have a slight sulfur smell. If this bothers you, you may want to bring bottled water. Please note that the hot and cold water are reversed in the bathroom sink and shower.

We allow dogs at this property and take the utmost care to clean thoroughly between stays, including removing pet hair. However, occasional stray hairs may be left behind. If there are ever any issues, please reach out to me.

The upstairs bedroom does not have a door. However, it is still very private — you cannot see into the space until you are fully up the stairs. The master bedroom is the only room on the upper floor.
