Top Side Cottage - Oceanfront, with incredible views of Acadia National Park

Top Side Cottage sits elevated above Somes Sound with commanding views of Park Mountains and Ocean. Sitting above the tree tops yet being able to throw a rock to the ocean is the best of both worlds!

Top Side Cottage offers all the amenities of home, including: Full size appliances, washer / Dryer, all linens, granite fire place, large deck, flat screen satellite TV with 115 channels, free WiFi access, private parking with unobstructed breathtaking views over Somes Sound and Sargent Mountain. Top Side Cottage on Somes Sound comes with a deep water dock perfect for fishing or keeping your boat. Enjoy the sunrise and quiet island atmosphere from your own deck, and listen to the loons at sunset. A deepwater mooring is complimentary if you are bringing / renting a boat. Top Side Cottage is well maintained, and kept to the highest standards in cleanliness and quality. We provide all the firewood you need, soap, detergent, paper towels, trash removal, and even a large kettle to cook your fresh Maine lobsters which you may purchase at boat price from our dock.

Amazing View!

We enjoyed a wonderful week staying at the Top Side cottage. The view of Somes Sound and Acadia's mountains from the patio and living room is absolutely stunning. I was tempted to just stay on the patio and savor the view, but the location was central to everywhere we wanted to go... mostly hiking throughout the park, but also dining in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. We appreciated how well supplied the cottage was with soap, detergent, towels, and even wood for the fireplace. Thanks so much for your hospitality, Paul.

A great place on the Quietside

We really enjoyed our stay. The feel of the place is "cottage" or "camp" however the location and the view can't be beat. The place was clean and the furniture was comfortable. It was so nice to be staying far from the crowds, and yet Acadia NP is close and easy to get to. Our hosts were incredibly responsive. The refrigerator was noisy (and apparently old, although it didn't look it) and I wasn't even going to mention it, but thought they should know. The day after I brought it up, they put in a new refrigerator. Oh yeah--the lobsters bought at cost from our host were the freshest and tastiest I've ever had!
