About this property

Aldernest Den - Mount Desert Island/Acadia -walk across the lawn down to shore

Along with my husband and family, I invite you to share the beauty of our home and cottages on Mount Desert Island, the home of Acadia National Park.

We are located in the coastal village of West Tremont, on the western side of Mount Desert Island. You can get to the parts of the park within 10 minutes and to Bar Harbor in about 30 minutes.

The Aldernest Cottage is adjoining our home overlooking Blue Hill Bay. The rocky shore front of Maine is just a short walk across the lawn. You can have your coffee in the morning sitting on the rocks while you enjoy our private, peaceful setting. In the evening you will enjoy the beautiful sunsets that will probably take your breath away.

The Aldernest Den (downstairs apartment) has two carpeted bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and one with two twins. There is a dining room/living room area, fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a washer/dryer.

You will find our rates competitive and the setting incomparable. Please come, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of our location while you are visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.

Additional Details:
Wifi using 200 Mbs Spectrum Cable Modem Connection
High definition television with Roku
Heat and air conditioning provided with reverse cycle heat pump

3) Our Cottage is Smoke Free. No smoking allowed on the premises.

Great spot!

The apartment was very clean and quiet and in an excellent location right near a lot of entrance points to Acadia. It was only about 20-30 mins to Bar Harbor too! Kathleen was so helpful, incredibly nice and easy to get in contact with. I would definitely stay here again.

Fall visit with friends to Acadia

We had a very nice stay. It is a longer drive to the park and Bar Harbor from the quiet side of the island but also very peaceful and less crowded. Accommodations were perfect for meeting up with friends from another state to enjoy catching up and sharing a visit to Acadia.

great location

The location on the "quiet side" of the island and on the ocean was perfect for us. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The rooms were not big, but perfect for 3 adults, who spent our days hiking and climbing. We ate all breakfasts and several diners there and the washer and dryer were easy to use. Kathleen was great and showed us the basics. I will stay there again.

Cozy cottage

I and my children (ages 12, 18, and 20) had a wonderful stay at the Aldernest Den. Clean, comfortable, well equipped, and convenient to all points in Acadia National Park. Lovely, private grounds, and the 2-minute walk to the stunning rocky shoreline is well worth it. Kathleen was an excellent host. We would love to visit again.
