Quiet oasis across the street from Acadia and just steps from the harbor
About this house rental
Located in Seal Harbor, this attractive house for $207 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Relax with the whole family at this quiet, peaceful place in the center of Seal Harbor village. Acadia is literally across the street and the best carriage roads in the park are a short walk down the street in one direction, with Seal Harbor Beach a short walk in the other. Pemetic, Penobscot, Cadillac, and Day mountains are all accessible without even getting into the car. It is a short walk out the front door to Jordan Pond House, Wildwood Stables, and Seal Harbor Beach. In classic Maine fashion, this handsome cottage was originally built in 1890 as a workshop for a local carpenter. It has since been lovingly restored and converted to a summer home in the best spot on the island for easy access to carriage roads, central peaks, and sailing in the Great Harbor. A one-floor living space featuring an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space. The space is incredibly bright, with windows covering the entire western end of the building and plenty of southern exposure. There is a large pullout couch and an oversized chair and ottoman in the main living room and a dining table that seats six. The kitchen is clean, efficient, and outfitted with all of the necessary tools. All of the artwork featured throughout the house is by local artisans. There are two bedrooms, both with oversized windows for plenty of light. The master has a queen bed with double closet. The second bedroom has a double and a twin bed with double closet. Outdoors is a seating area with cedar Adirondack chairs made by a local craftsman and a Weber propane grill for your use. There is plenty of parking for up to three vehicles. A full size washer and dryer are free to use as needed. Note: This property is available to book only from Saturday to Saturday

If you're looking for a warm shower, space to un wind, and a comfortable bed after a long day of traipsing through the wilderness, this is the place. We were only there two nights, but it was a great place to recharge and crash. Its got a kuerig and a drip coffee maker (the most important appliances in my opion), and all the other important kitchen stuff. We only cooked pizzas in the oven.
The beach is about a mile down the road, and there's a nice hiking trail about a half mile up the road.
Check in was as easy as it can be, and check out was pretty standard.
We had a great time.

The perfect home base to explore Acadia National Park and surrounding areas. Everything we needed to make ourselves comfortable, we found in the cottage. We loved how quiet the neighborhood around the property was and proximity to the beach. Our host Michael was very helpful and responsive. We really appreciate the recommendations he provided, which helped us make the most of our time there. We enjoyed our stay tremendously.

My husband & I have been to Acadia several times and stayed in this location previously. We love the area and the cottage and have found it to be a great place for the things we love to do in Acadia. The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We look forward to staying again in the future.

Little hard to find with the GPS address. But once we did, it was a perfect location. Quiet and easy to get to everything. Nick, our host, greeted us right away with any information we needed. The cottage is comfortable with everything you might need. Slept very well. The WiFi is spotty all throughout the area. Wouldn’t hesitate staying here again!

We like to avoid the crowded places to stay when we travel and this place was perfect. It was the two of us and the place was clean, well furnished and comfortable. Very quiet area, but less than 15 minutes from Bar Harbor, a half mile walk to the beach at Seal Harbor and Acadia is right next door. Nick greeted us when we arrived and spent time telling us about the area and things to do along with pointing out all the resources he has in the rental for different activities and places to eat.

Trip to Acadia
The Hidden Place was just where we wanted to stay. It was close to the park entrance and other spots of interest in Mt. Desert. Nick was very hospitable and his place was well equipped and very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay.

This cottage is within walking/biking distance to the carriage trails in Acadia National Park, which was convenient since it is very crowded in September and parking spaces are scarce. The cottage was neat and clean, with a well-equipped kitchen for eating in, and convenient access to a washer/dryer. The furniture is very comfortable. Our host Nick was very friendly and accommodating.

It was a treat to be a quarter of a mile to a carriage road. The house is easy access to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain and even the “quiet” peninsula. We loved it.

The cottage was exactly as advertised- clean, comfortable (very comfy couches!), and well stocked. The location was great - just a 10-15 minute walk to Seal Harbor beach, the Village Green, a few shops and The Lighthouse restaurant - and a shorter walk or bike ride just up the street to the carriage paths of Acadia. Nick was nearby if needed, and his dog Lexi is a sweetheart. All in all a great place!

We had a wonderful time in Acadia, hiking ,biking, and even swimming (quick swims) at Sand beach and Echo Lake. Hidden Place was a great place to come back to each day. We found the location perfect for all we did. It was nice to be by carriage roads just up the street. We also enjoyed the quiet as opposed to the crowds in Bar Harbor, yet close enough to visit Bar Harbor when we wanted.
We just want to say thanks, and if we come this way again we would definitely stay at your place.

Nick's place is in a great location, walking distance from the Seal Harbor beach and super close to Jordan Pond. There is access to the carriage roads right up the street and it felt like the park was our backyard during our stay.

Clean cozy and well appointed, the open plan and Jack n Jill bathroom makes great use of the space. Set well back from the road on a residential street not a tourist in sight.A short walk will take you to a carriage road and access to all the trails and carriage roads. A 15 min. drive through the park will take you to Bar Harbor. Nick, our host, met us when we arrived, was available as needed and sent us on our way.

We had a great time in Acadia National Park, staying at this ideally located, super clean, and well-equipped cottage. Nick has made sure all the household essentials are available, and the cleaning and preparation of the cottage were excellent. The kitchen is full of new appliances and the bed was very comfortable. The location is perfect for getting to many hiking trails in the park. The drive to Jordan Pond is only 4 minutes and other key destinations are very close. Nick is very friendly and helpful in making sure every detail is perfect. We highly recommend this cottage for a great central location when visiting Acadia National Park.

A perfect location for Acadia exploration!
This cosy, charming place tucked away in a neighborhood was a perfect base for us to explore the park by bike, on foot and so convenient to the other small towns of Mt Desert Island. It was a very memorable visit and we were delighted with its sunny and comfortable location.

We loved our vacation at Hidden Place
The main reason we chose this house was because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed. The location is perfect , less than a mile from the beach and several hiking trails. The house is small but very clean and extremely well equipped, we had everything we needed. Nick was extremely knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great suggestions. This was our first visit to Maine and we can’t wait to go back. Mount Desert Island is a wonderful place!
