Lovely cottage

The cottage has everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. There is a beautiful view of the cove and access to it at high tide is just down a short path and slope from the backyard. Hiking, biking, and all Acadia National Park has to offer is just a short drive away. We had a great stay and the weather was perfect during the last week of September.

Beautiful view!

We had a lovely time. It was quiet, peaceful and had a beautiful view of Goose Cove. Our dog loved it too; he felt right at home. We were comfortable and enjoyed the breeze off the ocean. The screened porch was wonderful! Thank you for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Weslea Sidon

My husband Curtis and I are transplanted NYers. He had been a part-time resident since the early '60's and I became one in the 70's. After owning a small antique business and working for Summer Festival of Art many summers, we moved here full time in 1999. I'm a poet and musician; Curtis is a photographer dedicated to film.

Why they chose this property

An iconic spot at the end of Goose Cove. One of the most beautiful, gentle, welcoming views on MDI. We are privileged to own it and delighted to share it. Originally owned by the summer librarian of our small village, the property neighbored ours. It was given to the Nature Conservancy to sell and we purchased it with a promise to them and our neighbor to live there and love it, and not to "develop" it.
