About this property

Cornerstone Cottage--Oceanfront Coastal Escape across from Acadia NP

Welcome to Cornerstone Cottage! This charming 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath oceanfront coastal cottage is located in Lamoine, Maine, in the heart of the DownEast region. With its cozy atmosphere and breathtaking views of Acadia National Park mountains and lobster boats in the bay, it is the perfect place to relax and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This home features a large porch, perfect for watching seals and other wildlife in the bay, and a fire pit area for enjoying evening fires. The living room with a wood-burning fire stove is ideal for gathering with family and friends. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and plenty of counter space. With its white-washed walls, cozy furniture, and curated nautical-inspired decor, this cottage offers a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a place to entertain friends and family, this Maine coastal cottage is the perfect choice.

Originally part of a local hotel, this 100+ year old cottage invites you to become a part of its rich history. Embrace the character of uneven wooden floors that tell tales of laughter and footsteps. Let the ocean breeze weave its way through open windows, while fans play a gentle symphony. While the cottage does not have air conditioning it is nestled under the shade of towering trees. Fear not, fans are thoughtfully provided to dance with the ocean air, ensuring your stay is both cozy and comfortably connected to nature. In winter, cozy up to the crackling fire stove in the living room, adding a touch of romance to your coastal retreat.

The cottage's location is ideal. It is situated within walking distance from Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park. When it comes time to venture out, the cottage is just a short drive (about 35 min) to the entrance of Acadia National Park and the charming villages of Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. Ellsworth is a short 15 min drive away.

During the summer months of June, July and August, we are a weekly rental from Friday-Friday.

Family vacation just before the official season
We spent three lovely, relaxing days at the cornerstone cottage in late April. This home is bright and beautiful, gorgeous views of the bay from the living room couches. We spent the afternoons in Acadia, and although many of the shops and restaurants were closed until May, there were zero crowds in the park and we had wonderful hikes in the park under cool crisp big blue skies.

Perfection!
We couldn’t have asked for anything more- Jenny and Cornerstone Cottage checked every box! The house was immaculate and a true gem weaving the charm of the past with a modern touch. The lawn allowed plenty of room for the boys to burn off some energy and the views were amazing. The distance from Bar Harbor was both convenient and a bit off the beaten path- perfect for our liking. Thank you Jenny!

Eclipsed all expectations!
We had never been to Maine, and decided to visit during the total solar eclipse. After looking at many homes, we chose Jenny's beautiful home in Lamoine. Leading up to our stay, Jenny kept in touch and told us about an approaching Nor'easter storm, and gave us the option to arrive a few days later or continue as planned. We decided to be adventurous and continue with our trip. She made sure we had plenty of firewood and electric lights in case of a power outage. We ended up never losing power and had a two day winter wonderland at the house! The house had EVERYTHING! Bluetooth speaker, cooler, blue ice, spices, oils, lobster pot, etc. It was all there! And we can't say enough about the incredibly comfortable mattresses on the beds! We all slept like babies! The views from the property, the comfortable furnishings, and the fantastic communication from Jenny made our trip to see the eclipse magnificent! HIGHLY recommend this property on your next trip to Maine!

Perfect coastal cottage
Everything was perfect for our fall getaway. The house was warm, bright and airy while still being cozy. The setting was gorgeous and all the special touches made us feel we were staying at a friend's cottage. Jenny was great to deal with, very responsive. You can tell the difference when you are staying in someone's home filled with love vs. just a rental used to make money. This home oozes the love Jenny and her family have for their home and the area in general. It was a pleasure staying here!!

About the host

Hosted by Jenny

Host profile image
Hello! We are Jenny and Alan Power, owners of Cornerstone Cottage, with Jenny running the guest experience. We bought and renovated the cottage in 2020/21 and have been welcoming guests ever since. Jenny grew up visiting her grandmother on this exact strip of shoreline in Lamoine, Maine and is beyond thrilled that her own family is getting to grow up to form some of the same memories she has had. Jenny loves to welcome guests from near and far to enjoy and experience the DownEast region of Maine with friends and family who are the 'cornerstones' of their life!

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for its location: in the middle of everything but you have your own privacy! The best part is you have those mountain and ocean views. The yard is amazing for yard games, fire pit conversations, shore exploring, kayak launching and so much more.

What makes this property unique

This is the best of DownEast coastal Maine kinda rolled up into one property! The cottage originated back around 1903 as a part of the Shores Acres Hotel. It was separated from the hotel in 1917 and placed on this property. Turn of the century guests who stayed in this hotel included notable architects, businessmen and politicians. When you stay here you are staying at a piece of Acadia history.
