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)

The cottage was cute, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed seeing the deer in the backyard in the mornings. It’s the perfect location for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay here again.

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!!

The property was perfect for our vacation. It was close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor but far enough away for some solitude. We loved our time!

Gorgeous and quiet cottage on "the quiet side"

We loved everything about Hyland cottage -- it was rustic, charming, clean, with a lovely deck and view. Location for us was perfect -- away from the crowds but close enough to everything we wanted. Communication with host went smoothly. We hope to return!

Another wonderful stay

This is our second year in a row staying at this amazing cottage. This is the perfect base for your adventures in Acadia and beyond. The house is well-appointed, clean, and conveniently located. Carl is a pleasure to work with when booking and throughout the stay. We hope to book it again next year!

Great location for visiting Acadia National Park

We found the location to be very convenient, yet it was very quiet. The view of the sound was nice. We enjoyed watching the deer in the neighboring woods, and the stars were amazing! Excellent host. No problems at all with communication. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to return.

Perfect spot on MDI

This home was the perfect spot for our vacation week. The location was just what we wanted, close to everything, but tucked away. Most days we did something in Acadia NP in the morning, came back to the cottage for lunch and to relax, and went out exploring again in the afternoon. There were good food options in Southwest Harbor and several good hikes and destinations on the "quiet side" too. The house was really well-equipped and clean with everything we needed in the kitchen and elsewhere. It's an older home that's been recently redone and was really comfortable for two adults and two kids (ages 10 and 12). We would love to come back again some time!

Restful; perfect location. Quiet!

We stayed in the Hyland for one week. Not only well stocked; stocked with class. It is more than a true cottage. Centrally located so each area of interest on Desert Island could be reached with little effort. The deer do indeed show up; one day we had the buck and all. If you seek a restful place to come home to after a delightful day of hiking, shopping or driving, Hyland is the place to settle. The trail to the St Seveurs via the Ledge trail right off 102 and then onto the Valley Perch trail is breathtaking as one can see out onto the ocean from the end of Somes Sound. We would most definitely return!

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!

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.
