Cottage Prud'homme: chalet architectural lumineux et privé sur Mitchell Cove
A propos de ce maisonrental
Ce chalet conçu par l'architecte, confortable sur le côté calme de Mount Desert dispose de 3 chambres, 2 salles de bain, 5 couchages confortablement, avec cuisine complète et laveuse / sécheuse. Situé sur Mitchell Cove à Bernard, isolé parmi les bois et les prairies de Lopaus Point, à seulement 10 minutes au sud de Southwest Harbor, vous obtenez le meilleur des deux mondes: le calme et l'intimité pour profiter du temps de votre famille ensemble, et la commodité immédiate de tous les attractions de l'île. Épicerie, bibliothèque, restaurants, sports nautiques (canoë, voile, bateau à moteur, kayak), baignade et des kilomètres et des kilomètres de sentiers de randonnée bien entretenus sur certaines des montagnes les plus belles et accessibles du pays sont à 15-20 minutes en voiture . Et à seulement une minute à pied de la propriété jusqu'à Mitchell Cove vous amène à un demi-mile de plage de galets privée isolée et non développée. Un port d'attache pour vos expéditions à travers l'île; et une résidence lumineuse et confortable pour le temps de votre famille ensemble pendant votre séjour.
La chambre principale est au rez-de-chaussée; deux chambres sont à l'étage, une avec deux lits jumeaux, l'autre une simple. Un futon dans le salon peut accueillir une sixième personne. Le nombre maximum d'adultes est de 4 à 5. Il y a des frais de 50 $ / nuit pour chaque personne de plus de cinq ans. Une baignoire avec douche est à chaque étage.
Le chalet dispose de tous les appareils modernes; a sa propre eau de puits et beaucoup d'eau chaude. Un service Internet Wi-Fi est fourni. Un large pont à l'avant équilibre les espaces intérieurs et extérieurs et est idéal pour s'asseoir au soleil; un pont secondaire hors de la cuisine a un gril à gaz qui est prêt à l'emploi. Dans le salon du rez-de-chaussée, un plafond cathédrale met en valeur le grain des planches de pin doré. Un nouveau poêle à bois garde toute la maison au chaud les soirs plus frais (de nombreux étés, vous n'en aurez pas besoin) et fournit un centre naturel pour jouer, lire ou regarder la télévision. Il y a beaucoup de bois de chauffage sec dans le hangar à bois.
La cave a un canoë de la vieille ville et des pagaies, que vous êtes invités à descendre à la crique.

La maison est bien plus que la somme de ses pièces. Il est situé sur le site de l'ancienne ferme qui exploitait la région de Mitchell Cove au 19e siècle, alors que la terre était entièrement ouverte. Vous remarquerez que c'est le «bon» endroit pour une maison - sur une petite hauteur, avec une cave pleine creusée dans le flanc de la colline, et une grande pelouse verte s'étendant vers la crique. Après la pelouse et le vieux pommier, il y a encore un pré ouvert devant la maison; mais maintenant des pins se cachent des quelques maisons voisines, éloignées et complètement cachées. Au sud et à l'ouest se trouve la pointe Lopaus et une épaisse forêt de pins. La maison est nichée dans le coin entre les anciennes prairies et la nouvelle forêt - vous êtes très bien dans votre propre monde sans être en aucune façon contraint.
Plein air, grand espace, liberté de mouvement - et l'espace concentré élégant de la maison - c'est la sensation d'être ici.
Vous remarquerez également de nombreux petits détails architecturaux qui font du temps dans et autour de la maison un vrai plaisir. La maison a été conçue spécifiquement pour capturer et afficher les meilleures vertus du climat estival côtier du Maine. Cela vous encourage à vivre le meilleur de ce que c'est que d'être ici. Pendant les longues journées d'été, il est lumineux et aéré. Vous voudrez ouvrir les portes et laisser passer les brises rafraîchissantes de l'océan. Prenez votre travail sur le pont; regardez les enfants jouer au football sur l'herbe. Ou flânez jusqu'à la crique. La nuit, c'est une enceinte de soutien confortable qui rassemble tout le monde autour du poêle à bois. Préparez un festin de fruits de mer. Rassemblez-vous autour d'un jeu de société. Détendez-vous et regardez un film sur le téléviseur.
La maison fonctionne si bien en partie parce que le plan d'étage est à la fois ouvert et séparé. Les activités communes se concentreront au premier étage, où la cuisine et le salon se rejoignent et maintiennent tout le monde connecté. Mais si vous voulez faire du travail, ou que les enfants doivent commencer un projet de lecture d'été, ou que quelqu'un veut juste être seul, vous pouvez monter à l'étage, fermer la porte et vous concentrer.
L'endroit est plein de souvenirs de personnes qui ont fait exactement cela pendant cinquante ans. Je suis sûr que vous trouverez rapidement votre propre façon d'être chez vous.
** mise à jour pour 2016 à venir **
Nous avons installé un nouveau poêle à bois cette année. C'est un modèle Blaze King (vous pouvez trouver les fonctionnalités en ligne): très efficace, à faibles émissions et facile à utiliser. Il a également un temps de combustion fantastique - jusqu'à 20+ heures sur une seule charge de bois. Cela rend le chauffage du chalet pendant les jours et les nuits plus frais du printemps et de l'automne très facile et fiable. Chargez-le avant de vous rendre au lit; quand vous vous réveillez, il est toujours plein de charbons et dégage une bonne chaleur.
Si vous envisagez de louer pendant ces périodes antérieures ou ultérieures (mai, septembre, octobre), le nouveau poêle fera une grande différence dans votre confort.

This was our third stay at Prud'homme Cottage, and the property was as lovely and peaceful as ever. The cottage itself is an architectural gem. It's a simple cottage with a timeless design and quality craftsmanship, and fits perfectly into its surroundings. And for us the location is ideal. It's a short walk on a quiet road to beautiful Bernard and a short drive to Southwest Harbor. Mountain hikes and craggy Wonderland are within 10 minutes by car. And Mitchell Cove, a two minute walk from the house through the trees, is our place for morning coffee, afternoon canoeing, and fantastic sunsets.

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our family of four - rustic but with all the conveniences, private but near things to do, cozy and beautifully designed. The owners have stocked it with everything. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

Our stay at the Prud'homme Cottage with was fantastic for our family of four. The house is well appointed and benefits from excellent design and craftsmanship. The space is private and quiet and the sunsets at Mitchell Cove were great. The house had everything we needed, and Richard was a fantastic and responsive host. The location gave us a chance to explore Acadia's quietside, but was just close enough to everything else.

This property was all we hoped for and more. It was ideal for our family of four. Perfect size, nice layout providing a mix of family time and privacy for the kids. The outdoor seating areas were dreamy, and the landscaping kitchen well-equipped and east to use with everything we needed (and we like to cook). Access to canoe and cove was a highlight. We had difficult travels getting to Maine (our own fault) and Richard was quick to respond to requests for information, kind, and reassuring. Would definitely stay here again!

House is beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. Outdoor spaces great for hanging out or entertaining friends, as is the large living/dining space with wood-burning stove. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking a variety of foods. Bedrooms designed to give each person or couple their own spaces. There are two identical bathrooms, one on each floor near bedrooms. They are small but clean and well organized. This house is perfect for a family with children or several friends.

Prud'homme Cottage is perfectly situated in Tremont near Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of MDI and near a cove that is a 2 minute walk from the house. It was a great home base from which to explore surrounding trails and sights. The trails in that area are less touristy and less crowded, which was exactly what we wanted. The camp itself was comfortable with plenty of space. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor deck overlooking the meadow. We also enjoyed taking in the sunset on the cove just a few minutes away. Richard was a laid back, but responsive host who gave us lots of good insider info about things to do in the area and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time there tremendously.

Perfect cottage!
We have stayed at Prud'homme Cottage 2 years in a row, and we miss it immediately whenever we leave. The cottage itself is a work of simplicity and art, a perfect place to relax, think, and embark on adventures. For us, it is the perfect retreat for escaping the city and finding some harmony with nature.
We love spending mornings on the beautiful decks and walking down to Mitchel Cove. After mid-day hikes around the quiet side of MDI, we walk to Thurston's for lobster or just around the beautiful village of Bernard. Our evenings involve board games, running around the back yard, and (ideally) one more trek down to the cove. We hope to go back to Prud'homme for many years.

We enjoyed this cabin on our first trip to Maine! The weather was beautiful and we loved the people and coastline of the Quietside. The caretaker Scott was wonderful and we had no issues with the property while there. Basics, directions, key access were all as listed. Beds and linens were wonderful. Kitchen was stocked. No cabinets in the entire house … all open air shelving and no AC unit. This wasn’t an issue during our stay but good to know! We did find the access to Mitchell Cove further away than the listing provided. It was accessible from the cabin but we felt like we were walking on others property to get to it. There was a nice small public beach just down the street. Thurstons down the street had the best lobster on the island! Also recommend a visit to the Quietside Art gallery and Island Cruise nature boat ride.

Everyone had a great time. House was clean and everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. When we arrived the power was out due to an accident down the road so the lantern came in very handy!

This was our family's 6th trip to Mount Desert Island/Acadia and the cottage met our needs perfectly. Our family is young (8 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old, plus a dog) and the kids had so much fun running around the property and exploring the cove while my husband and I sat on the deck to read, enjoy a drink or simply prepare dinner. We ate outside almost every evening and would stargaze with the kids into the night. I have never seen shooting stars like I did on this trip.
We are committed "quiet side" people and don't mind the longer drive to Bar Harbor or some of the more touristy areas of the island. Moreover, Richard was a pleasure to coordinate with - everything was seamless - and we had the opportunity to take advantage of the canoe and kayaks during our stay. Such a well-rounded trip, and I would not hesitate to rent again.
Enjoy your trip!

We loved staying in this beautiful cottage. The location is ideal for enjoying Acadia and the surrounding area. The owner was exceptionally responsive and the property was perfect for our family of two adults and three children ages 11-16. I would love to return

Great house for getting away
Beautiful property. House is easy to use, great kitchen with great layout. The washing machine, linens and dishwasher were great additions to make for light packing. The cove was great to explore-- although our week was warm and the mosquitos fierce on the walk there! Bring rubber boots and kids can explore into the water and mud for great wildlife. At sunset the birds dive for fish, which was super cool.
For the house-- it is very isolated and private. DARK at night, which was great for us. Sunset side so you didn't get sunrise right INTO the windows allowing some later sleep (minimal curtains). Set up with bathrooms and bedrooms great for families. We liked being away from busy side of island-- and did lots of exploring at Echo lake, sea wall, sea harbor, etc.
Richard was a great host. Issues with wifi on arrival-- which he had promptly fixed. Prompt responses for questions. We did the recommended boat tour-- and it was great. Boys also climbed with Atlantic Climbing School - and they have you repelling down Otter cliffs right over the ocean! (which needless to say way a big crowd pleaser). Overall a great week.
Other tips:
1- stop at the visitors center on Thompson island off the bridge and get a visitors pass in the park, and quiet side hiking guide which contains a tide chart so you can plan your cove visits, your visits to thunder rocks, etc,
2- go early if you want to park at sand beach or echo lake. We were there in peak season and parking in bar harbor and park was no joke. However, the swimming at Echo ledges was more fun (no beach) than the beach swimming at Echo lake anyway.
3- Beehive isn't worth it, and it is super dangerous. Gorham Mt. and continuing down Cadillac cliffs trail are way better views.
4- Little Notch bakery is a wonderful in Southeast harbor-- french bread/pastry by french staff.
5- Food prices are high on the island, we stopped in Bangor at the Hannaford and filled the cooler. The IGA on 102 had reasonable selection, but limited.
6- Do not miss the blueberry soda.

Sunsets and Lobster!
Our family of four had an incredible stay in Acadia at the Prud'homme cottage! We stayed for a week in late July and we were really pleased.
The listing on VRBO is completely accurate. Even more, we were so happy with the open space of the cottage. You enter into a terrific country kitchen that is separated from the rest of the home by a counter. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need. Meal preparation was a lot of fun since our family was all together with one or two people cooking and others in the living area. The living area included a small dining table and ample seating: a futon, a slider chair, and an oversized loveseat. The high ceiling in the living area helped the entire living area strike a balance between spacious, yet also felt cozy.
An additional plus about the cottage is the arrangement of bedrooms and bathrooms. The master bedroom is downstairs and there is a bathroom on the first floor. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Kids upstairs, parents downstairs. Wonderful! The addition of the washer and dryer on the first floor also really helped the comfort of our stay.
In terms of location: the cottage offers plenty of privacy. There are homes nearby, but none visible from the house, lawn or decks. It's a bit of a drive from the cottage to Bar Harbor which we did on two occasions, but Southwest Harbor is nearby and that's hustle and bustle enough. Mitchell Cove is a very secluded beach. It's rocky, but our kids loved exploring for hermit crabs and skipping rocks. Most importantly, Mitchell Cove has awe inspiring sunsets! We'd walk down to the beach for the sunsets and have the place to ourselves. Another plus about the location is it's within walking distance to Thurston's Lobster Pound. We only went once during our stay, but it's the real deal and we should have gone again. Another cool thing we did regarding location was to take a sea kayak tour out of Southwest Harbor. This was just a short drive from the cottage.
Ultimately, the cottage's design and setting is the idyllic Maine and Acadia cottage. We're really grateful for our stay.

our annual peaceful getaway
I can't say enough positive things about this property. It is honestly magical, beautiful, and peaceful. When we first visited several years ago, we had no plans of making Maine an annual trip, but everything about Acadia and this house were so wonderful, that we've just kept coming back. The location is perfect--quiet, serene, lovely, private. And the owner is amazing in his responsiveness (got back to me within an hour on the 4th of July when I had a last minute question!) The yard and nearby cove are perfect for our school age children (and us!)

Beautiful cottage in Maine
Our stay was a nice visit to Acadia as it was about 30 minutes from
Bar Harbor and also close to a cute town in SW Harbor. The cabin is quiet and peaceful and the stove is a addition to the cabin on cool mornings. Richard was by far the best host and easiest to reach and communicate with before and during our stay.

June Vacation
Our family of 5 (19yo, 17yo, 14yo) enjoyed the week in Maine, and the Prud’homme Cottage was perfect and exactly as pictured. Richard was quick to reply to my pre-trip questions and provided the most detailed descriptions of the property and things to do/places to go. The cottage was well equipped with all the necessities and very comfortable all around... but be warned: the mosquitos are no joke!
Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Charming historic cottage!
Our family loved staying at the cottage. The short walk to the cove was pleasant, and in over a week we only saw two other people at the cove (very private!). Plenty of yard space for kids to run around and be loud (as kids do!) without disturbing neighbors. Sunsets at the cove were incredible. We ventured out to various hikes in Acadia, but stayed a few days at the cottage and were very content canoeing, playing at the cove & cooking family dinners together (kitchen has EVERYTHING you could need). Highly recommend.

Perfect vacation for our family
We have a six year old son and a 7-month puppy and everything about this vacation was perfect for us - the home was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect - quiet but near a cute town and great dinner options for some outings. We hiked, we fished, we collected rocks on the ocean. It was relaxing and beautiful on the Quiet Side - no crowds to get in the way of us enjoying the natural beauty of the area. It was a total treat. We miss it already!

Enchanting, sweet, cozy house, with a perfect layout for our family (2 adults, 2 schoolage children)
We love this property! This was our 3rd year here. The children so enjoy the comforts of the home and property, and we love the serenity. The property really manages to poetically frame the beauty of this region—natural, quiet, majestic. We have been here three years in a row, and I’m already looking forward to a return. And you will never meet a kinder, more intelligent, and clearly, simply communicative owner. Seems too good to be true, but it isn’t! We hadn’t intended to find “our annual vacation home” when we first came here. In previous years, we tried one home after another. But once we stayed here, we’ve remained loyal.

Quiet Relaxation
The beauty of Prud'homme Cottage is its simplicity. Clean and well cared for inside and out, it has everything you need for a pleasant stay (including comfortable beds and a wonderful new coffee maker + grinder). The owner had great suggestions for things to do and we took advantage of this prime location on the quiet side of the island (Thurston's, ferry to Cranberry Isles, canoeing at Mitchell Cove, swimming at Long Pond, numerous ANP hikes, sailing). The highlight of our trip was watching Southwest Harbor fireworks from the nearby Manset waterfront.

Perfection!
The Prud’homme Cottage gave us the most peaceful experience in Maine.There was a beautiful bouquet of lilacs on the table when we walked in! What a nice welcome. There are so many things to do on MDI, but I was the happiest and most content right there at the cottage. Mitchell Cove is a 1-2 minute walk through lovely woods. It was our private oasis. We never saw another person at the cove the entire week we were there. Sitting on the deck of the cottage having coffee was magical, looking out at the giant fur trees and the field covered, yes covered with wildflowers. The back of the cottage was surrounded by lilacs and beach roses, all in bloom. The cottage was so clean and tidy. It had everything we needed for a memorable stay in Maine. Richard, the owner, quickly answered any questions I had about the property. I’m already dreaming of the next time I get to stay there.
Prud’homme Cottage will stay in my memory as Perfection.

Clean, quiet, and all the charm of Maine. Located close to the park, harbors, bar harbor, & lobsters
Quick ride to the park for early morning hikes and exploring. Plenty of great little towns and restaurants. Return to either a warm fire or quite time on the porch appreciating nature and wine. Plenty of room for all. Short walk to quiet cove for canoeing. Great week for a healthy recharge !!
