About this property

Lakefront, sandy cove, feet from water, <1hr from Acadia Nat'l Park, Bar Harbor

Welcome to Cozy Cove: a beautiful, pristine, secluded, waterfront on deep-water Tunk Lake! We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor, also available to book directly at our website online, sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com.

Cozy Cove is a clean and bright 4-bedroom lakefront camp just feet from the water on protected Tunk Lake. Of all the lakes in Maine, Tunk Lake is one of the most beautiful and most pristine. It is over 200 feet deep and the water quality is some of the best in the state. There is very little development around the lake, with most of the land under protection in Tunk Lake Preserve. Tunk is an excellent cold-water fishery and holds records for some of the largest lake trout caught.

Cozy Cove is uniquely situated at the desirable north end of the lake, less than ½ mile to the boat launch. The cabin faces southwest, with views of Catherine and Black Mountains. The beach is formed as part of a protected cove that also provides shelter and privacy from the larger part of the lake. The western exposure means long sunlit afternoons on the beach after a day spent hiking and exploring. Stay for a week and get 15% off!

The cabin was rebuilt in 2017 on the original location close to the water’s edge, but updated to a slightly larger and more accommodating space. The 1st floor offers 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, washer/dryer, spacious kitchen with granite counters and open living area with water views. The 2nd floor offers 2 more bedrooms, 1/2 bath, sitting/game room area with water views and a small private balcony. The level yard provides convenient parking, room for toys, and easy access to the waterfront with a sandy beach and dock.

Cozy Cove is located <2 miles down the road from the best and most scenic hiking trails in the area: Tunk Mtn and Catherine Mtn. Keep your eyes peeled for the ghost of Catherine, a local legend who appears on the road on stormy nights. Also recommended is a stop in Milbridge, a coastal town with great character and a pop-up Mexican restaurant. Cozy Cove is less than an hour from Acadia National Park, should you choose to venture farther. A perfect place to explore all that Downeast Maine has to offer!

If you are bringing your own boat, it is simple to put in at the boat launch up the street and motor to the camp. If you do not have a boat, please consider renting ours: a 14' deep-V with a 25 hp tiller and electric start. It's the perfect lakeboat and we offer it for only $200/stay. Please email after booking if you would like to rent the boat.

PLEASE NOTE: We pull water from the lake! It is filtered, but NOT purified, so bring your own drinking water. We have a deeply-rooted community of low-key neighbors that we cherish and respect, so if you are looking for a place to party and be noisy this is not the venue for you. Please drive slowly on the dirt road so it stays in good shape. There is room to park two cars next to the house. There is NO A/C. This property is not handicapped-accessible.

Cozy Cove
The location is absolutely beautiful and secluded. The home had plenty of space, a nice open layout and all new amenities. The kitchen had everything needed to make a proper multi-course meal for a good size group.The Lake itself is pristine. The only other place I've seen water this clear was in the Cayman Islands. Tunk lake has miles of magical undeveloped coastline preserve. The surrounding area has tons of amazing hikes and several other lakes, each with their own geological makeup and personality. If crowds are not your thing, go down the schoodic peninsula. It's across from Mount Desert Island. The tip of the penisula is actually a little known part of the Acadia National Park - just as beautiful, but without the people. While you're there, check out Winter Harbor. It's about 50 minutes away from the house. If you like to shop and go to bars and restaurants, Bar Harbor is bustling and less than an hour. The Tunk Lake region is an absolute hidden gem. The hosts were helpful and incredibly kind without being intrusive. They do not live in the next house over so you will have real privacy. Some people like easy access to their host, I prefer seclusion and hosts that trust we'll leave the property as we found it, or better. " We'll be returning to Cozy Cove if we can. A+++++

Cozy Stay at Cozy Cove
Had a lovely stay at Cozy Cove - two families - five adults and three kids (ages 3-6). It’s a great place for families! The house had everything we needed for a relaxing week - a well-appointed kitchen, laundry, a table big enough for 8, and a small living room / play area upstairs. The nearest grocery store is only 15 min away in Milbridge. The beach in front of the house is perfect for splashing around and you can watch sunfish swimming around from the dock. The water is clear and the lake is great for exploring by canoe or kayak. Local hiking trails around Tunk Lake are well maintained and beautiful and offer some nice day hike options. Took a day trip to Mound Desert Island on a rainy day and had a great time. Overall a great place to visit and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, easy lake vacation.

Peaceful getaway
Beautiful quaint property right on the lake. House has great views of the lake, perfect area to just step away from the world and enjoy nature. Tunk Lake was great, quiet, no boat traffic, warm water. 10/10 would stay again

Idyllic Maine experience
My friend and I had never been to Maine before, and wow this exceeded our expectations. We love nature, quiet, and hikes and this was the perfect place. Kyle was responsive right from the start and gave us great suggestions for nearby trails, as well for charming Bar Harbor. The house is perfectly clean and comfortable. On a sunny June evening we sat at the end of the dock with a glass of wine and local cheese, and savored the calm lake and beautiful trees. Highly recommended.
