We live in Massachusetts with our three children and have been visiting Mount Desert Island for 25 years. Rob and I first visited MDI in 1996 and immediately fell in love with Acadia. We started out camping at the Seawall campground before we had our children and then as our family grew we began renting various cabins/homes on the quiet side of the island. In 2017 we found a beautiful, old home on Bass Harbor and purchased it to use as a vacation and rental property until hopefully one day we will retire there (that property is Apple Cove, listing number 4812310). We have so enjoyed having that home on the quiet side that when the opportunity to purchase this beautifully renovated cottage right in Bar Harbor came up we could not say no. Two of our children are now in college with the youngest in high school and they all consider MDI their happy place. Our family has spent many of our best times enjoying Bar Harbor and Acadia and we love having the opportunity to share our homes and our love for the area with other families.

The location of Dragonfly Cottage is perfect for getting the most out of all that Bar Harbor has to offer with only a short walk to the water, the shore path, and all the shops and restaurants. The house is situated on a very quiet side street with minimal one way traffic and provides a quiet, tranquil home base for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia. A quarter mile walk will take you to the sand bar across to Bar Island. A quarter mile in the other direction puts you right on the Village Green. Shopping, coffee, cocktails, fine dining, casual dining, lobster, breakfast, boat tours, the Shore Path, history, amazing views and Acadia National Park are all in the backyard of this beautifully renovated, inviting cottage. And the cottage itself is a wonderful, comfortable retreat with beautiful space for relaxing and spending time together.
