Perfect place/location to enjoy the Bar Harbor area of Maine!

Cornerstone Cottage met all expectations for a great experience for a family of 3 generations. Clean, well-equipped and well located, it was easy to explore from there by car, foot or kayak. We would love to come back!

Lovely, welcoming and well appointed cottage with a view that invokes inner peace. The deer visited each morning and the Lemoine Beach was perfect for walks and kayak launches. It was an easy drive to Bar Harbor too. We had the best family vacation with our adult children. We would be back every year if we could!!

Fabulous place for our cousin vacation in Maine. Amazing ocean view, great back porch with rocking chairs, and a wonderfully appointed house with comfortable beds, a great room for gathering, and a fully supplied kitchen! Our host was responsive and provided a thoughtful welcome to us. We were very pleased with our experience at Cornerstone Cottage and highly recommend it to others.

Perfect spring get-away

The cottage was just what we’d hoped for and more. Beautiful accommodations and you cannot beat the view and huge yard. We loved the fire pit for smores, walking down to look at rocks along the waters edge, and looking out at the ocean during meals from the dining room table. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend it!

Great Getaway

The stay here was wonderful with all built in amenities and the location of the house is perfect. The house is connected to the water and has amazing views and you can just sit and soak them in. This place is pretty close by to all great attractions around. I definitely recommend this place to the folks who want to visit Bar harbor/Acadia national parks.

Quiet and Quaint Cottage

We loved our stay. Immaculate and tastefully decorated cottage half hour from Bar Harbor. Appreciated the little extras like the binoculars, games, park guide and books. Would stay again if we come back. Eat at Paddys in Bar Harbor, rent ebikes and don’t miss Schoodic Pt or Campobello!

Back Porch Sitting at its Best

What a great property. Not only was the back porch our favorite spot to sit for morning coffee and evening cocktails, but the house itself was a little slice of history that was tastefully decorated to give it a modern farmhouse feel. We would definitely stay here again!!
