About this property

Central Yet Secluded Cottage In Heart Of Mt. Desert Island

2 bedroom cottage (one with queen bed, one with two singles), fully equipped kitchen, portacrib and toddler's chair available, bath with shower, under eave seating in shade and picnic table in sun, direct access to Friends of Acadia trail, friendly dog allowed. Central to all aspects of Mt.Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Access to washer/dryer on premises. Very quiet and private location. We enjoyed living in this cottage for 3 years until we built a home on the property, 100 yards away and secluded from the cottage. Bar Harbor has it all: activities for kids and adults such as mountain climbing, boat rides, bicycling and hiking along the shore. An oceanarium, miniature golf, and a small waterpark are less than a twenty minute drive away.

The National Park Service organizes nature programs in the National Park for children and adults. Explore Bar Harbor's maritime setting, look for shells, sea glass, and starfish on MDI's ocean beaches. Swim in the crystal clear water of Echo Lake! Acadia Access Cottage is the perfect place to take advantage of all that Bar Harbor and MDI have to offer.

We do accept well behaved dogs but do ask that they either stay in a crate when owners are not with them in the cottage or you let us know that they are safe without a crate and will not cause any damage. We do ask for a $50 per pet charge to be paid upon arrival for the additional cleaning that is needed.

MDI Central Location
Stayed here last year so this year was a repeat because we loved it so much. Great location in middle of MDI providing easy access to Acadia NP, Trails, carriage roads & Bar Harbor. The owners who live nearby were very helpful with whatever we needed. The place is in the forest at the end of a long driveway. It is well appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing & comfortable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Philip and Astri Brooks

Host profile image
After having lived for 28 years in Maine we realized that Mount Desert Island was the place we loved most to be. Prior to moving to China for 3 years we purchased this property of 38 acres in the heart of Mt.Desert Island with the intent to return to live in this beautiful location. We built an apartment above an existing garage (Acadia Access Cottage). When we returned 3 years ago we moved into the cottage and enjoyed living in it for 3 years. In the Fall of 2013, we completed a new home on the property, 100 yards away and quite secluded from the garage/cottage.

Why they chose this property

We love the access to carriage roads, Echo Lake, Somes Sound, mountain hiking, Bar Harbor, and walking on our own property with a brook, small waterfall and direct access to Acadia Ridge Trail. We have close access to all that the island has to offer and enjoy the tranquility that surrounds us every day.

What makes this property unique

Centrally located. Covered outdoor ping pong table for adults and supervised young adults with possibility of challenging owner.

We do accept well behaved dogs but do ask that they either stay in a crate when owners are not with them in the cottage or you let us know that they are safe without a crate and will not cause any damage. We do ask for a $50 per pet charge to be paid upon arrival for the additional cleaning that is needed.
