Guests are encouraged to enjoy five acres of woodlands, gardens, and a peaceful, protected, pristine shore front. High in the branches of old pines, the 3-level cottage boasts panoramic views of the mountains of Acadia National Park, small islands, seasonal cruise ships at anchor, lights of Bar Harbor at night, and the occasional lobster boat working from local fishing villages.
