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)

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.

Beautiful property & the deck was our favorite!!! Very spacious, comfy chairs, beautiful view! There were only 2 of us on this stay but there would be plenty of room for a larger group, and the kitchen was very well stocked for plenty of cooking. We loved being close to Acadia for all the hiking we wanted to do but far from the crowds of Bar Harbor. And Carl was a gracious host with timely & friendly communication. All in all, just a delightful experience!

The cabin was the perfect location for Acadia and coastal towns. It was peaceful. Kitchen well stock. Clean. Only issue we had was the listing said there was a keurig but there was not. Easily fixed with a quick trip to the store.

Wonderful Girls Trip

My mom, aunt, and niece joined me for a wonderful stay. We each had our own sleeping space, which was wonderful! We had most breakfasts and dinners on the deck, and even used the outside table to games! The location is perfect for visiting Acadia sites. I would highly recommend this rental!

The Highland Cottage was perfect!! We spent a lot of our mornings and evenings on the deck relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. Coopers Hawks, deer, enormous squirrels and chipmunks came to visit each day. Having a cozy, well appointed, delightfully decorated home base was just what we needed after our daily adventures in Acadia National Park. On our last morning we decided we would come back again!!! Fantastic!!

Quiet comfortable base camp

Our family enjoyed the stay, location was great, close drive to all the hikes/activities we wanted to do and away from busy bar harbor. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again if we venture back up to Maine.
