About this property

Cregboy Cottage is a 650 sqft home, located on beautiful Mount Desert Island, Maine. It is situated on the “Quiet Side” of Acadia National Park, and offers easy access to hiking, kayaking and biking.

Within walking distance of 3 different ponds and hikes up Western Mountain and Little Notch, you won’t even have to get in your car to experience the beauty that this area has to offer.

The cottage is within 10 miles drive of Bass Harbor Lighthouse, hikes on Wonder Land and Ships Harbor and the cozy Year round village of Southwest Harbor.

My home was originally built in 1896, and although not perfect (let’s face it, most houses have their quirks), offers a cozy retreat for couples or two friends wishing to explore the area. I have lots of amenities that are listed, but this year I will also be adding a whole house generator, so you can enjoy your stay and never have worry about being without power.

Originally from Galway Ireland, I have made MDI my home for the past 34 years. Cregboy Cottage has over the years, become a wee bit of Ireland in DownEast Maine. A mixture of my own heritage and the Country/State that has stolen my heart.

I look forward to hosting you, and showing you why the State of Maine’s slogan is “The way life should be”. And don’t be at all surprised if it doesn’t steal your heart too.

7 night minimum from Friday to Friday. Check out @ 11 am., check in @ 5pm.

Acadia Visit

The cottage was incredible! Extremely clean and well maintained. Cora, the host, was extremely detail oriented in equipping the property with everything necessary to enhance your stay. Of particular note was the kitchen, very well stocked with modern appliances. The location of the cottage is also a plus, as it is away from the crowded side of Mount Desert Island. Even the parking was convenient, right outside the cottage. Cora is a kind, caring person, and is enthusiastic in making you feel welcome. My visit was very enjoyable!

A remarkable cottage. A true treat!!

Cora’s is the perfect host and her place is perfect for active couples who want to enjoy Acadia National Park. The cottage has everything to make your stay comfortable. It is her home in the winter, therefore every item that you could need is there for your use. She even has some food there for you. We fell in love with the cottage, it’s location and, yes, Cora!

Awesome Cottage

The property was adorable-it was extremely clean, comfortable and had anything plus more you would expect from a rental. It was a perfect place to stay for exploring Acadia NP and the surrounding areas. The host was very accommodating and was very quick to respond with any questions or concerns.

About the host

Hosted by Cora Fahy

Originally from the West Coast of Ireland, I have made MDI my home for the past 34 years. I'm excited to share my wee home with you, and the love I have for this beautiful part of the world. This will be my third year hosting, and I have come to LOVE making people feel welcome and cared for, and AT HOME in Cregboy Cottage. I look forward to meeting YOU and helping you fall in love with the "Quiet Side" of MDI.

Why they chose this property

Cregboy Cottage is located on the Quiet Side of the Island, and has SO much to offer. Acadia National Park is literally my backyard.....I can walk from my home to hike, swim and enjoy the best of what Mother Nature has to offer. My favorite spot is the Algerine Coast located just 3 miles from the cottage. A beautiful place to sit and feel the power/healing of the ocean.

What makes this property unique

The cottage was originally built in 1896 (ish), but has gone through many renovations. It was the original "tiny house" in its day!! I have tried to make use of the space and add some of my own personality. Cregboy Cottage has a comforting and very healing vibe....this I really found out while recovering from my cancer treatment. I always felt like I could breathe again once I walked through its door.
