2 Bedroom Cottage in Mount Desert

Private with flexible cancellation policy. Wake up to sound of seals and ocean life on Mount Desert Island. Cantilevered house sited at the high tide mark on Somes Sound. A peaceful unique home with easy viewing of resident eagles, seals and other wildlife. If you are looking for a comfortable oceanfront house with swimmable water, look no further. The beach below has lots of great rocks to dive off or maybe you want to rest and read on a comfortable lounge chair on the deck, that hangs out and over the ocean below. We encourage a 2-week minimum during July & August months. Please reach out if interested in a month or longer for the 2026 season. House is very close (walking distance) to hiking and carriage roads. Carriage roads are very suitable for all ages and athletic abilities. Northeast Harbor is a 5-minute drive, Bar Harbor just about 12 minutes and about the same drive to Southwest--where you will find lots of dining options. Or you might decide to pick up some fresh fish or lobsters and enjoy dinner at the house. Maximum number of guests: 6 guests. Downstairs is a private queen-bedded room with a large picture window (with curtains), a closet and plenty of built-in drawers as well as a mirror that slides up/down in case you would like to wake up to an ocean view. Medium sized bathroom with sunken cast iron tub, great shower head and tiled throughout. Upstairs are bunk beds that thick and comfortable with plenty of windows and side porches; keeps ocean air circulating. There are closets and all bunks have drawers underneath and both sides have bureaus. Big eye-level ocean and mountain views. Separate bathroom upstairs as well. A 48-inch smart TV was added in 2022 (upstairs) as well as a Sonos port to more easily access your own music--connected to 2 house speakers. Saturday is our turnover day — all reservations must begin/end on a Saturday.
