About this property

Wonderful views of Somes Sound and Sargent Mountain

The double sliding glass doors in the great room allow the feeling of bringing the outside in. Nestled in the pines, this setting offers the peace and quiet of being away from it all, yet it is just a half mile from Rt. 102. Relax and enjoy your natural surroundings, as you see the deer pass by or the sound of the birds on the Sound. As you enter the cottage, you will be impressed with the finely appointed upgrades made by the new owners. The first floor contains a master with a comfortable queen size bed, adjacent to a full bath, a second bedroom with two twin size beds, and a laundry. Climb the stairs to the loft bedroom with one twin bed that overlooks the cathedral ceiling and the great room. A step up from the loft, you will find a third private bedroom with two twin beds and half bath. The tastefully furnished great room provides
adequate seating for guests to converse, read, watch a movie or to relax in front of the fire place, after a day on the trails. Outdoor living is max from Hyland Cottage, conveniently located across from swimming and kayaking on Echo Lake, or climbing the trails of Beech and Acadia Mountains, nearby. With Cadillac Mountain and the surrounding carriage trails just minutes away, you will have easy access to hiking, biking and experiencing the magnitude of Acadia. Enjoy fine dining in nearby Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor, or delight in the experience of a casual lobster feast! Because words cannot describe the beauty that surrounds Hall Quarry, we urge you to come and experience Acadia National Park and its breathtaking sights, for yourself! (Turnover day is Saturday)

What an amazing way to spend a family vacation! We loved this gorgeous quaint cabin with views of Somes Sound. The cabin was clean but very warm. There is no A/C in typical Maine fashion, which made for a very warm but authentic cabin experience. There were plenty of box fans and it got cool enough at night with the windows open for sleeping. We actually woke up very cold at times. The location is perfectly situated 20 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor, very easy to get to by car and away from all the busy touristy crowds. Exactly the Maine experience we were hoping for. Even close enough to the Southwest harbor to enjoy Beal’s lobster pier and see the Bass Harbor lighthouse! The beds were comfortable, the shower was nice, towels were soft, and the adarondack chairs were perfect for drinking coffee and watching the sunrise. Would absolutely recommend!

The property didn’t have air-conditioning and it was during a heat wave. The house was over 100. You couldn’t even go into it until nighttime. Also, it reminds me of why I stopped using Verbo because you have to do all these cleaning steps before you leave the house what’s the point of paying a cleaning fee when you have to do a bunch of steps

Lovely stay near the park

This quaint little cabin in the woods was perfect for our family. Some of my favorite times were the quiet mornings on the front porch watching the wildlife.

This place was perfect for my sister and I to celebrate my mom’s 75th birthday. The three of us really enjoyed the space and view from the backyard as well as the convenient location to get around the island from Acadia, Southwest Harbor to Bar Harbor. The host had great communication and very helpful overall. Recommend staying here!
