Far from the crowds, but convenient to everything you want to do in Maine - Acadia, Bar Harbor, and more! Relax and enjoy the serenity and abundant wildlife of 1.6 wooded acres on beautiful Taunton Bay, including eagles, seals, loons, herons, osprey, and deer, or take a scenic 45-minute drive to Mount Desert Island to visit Acadia, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor, all with their distinct identities and attractions. The cottage is conveniently located in Sullivan, between Acadia National Park's main location on MDI and its exquisite, less-traveled mainland site, Schoodic Point, and just ten miles from the popular cafes, brewpubs and shops of charming downtown Ellsworth. Historic Sullivan offers quiet local hikes, easy access to gorgeous Tidal Falls Preserve in nearby Hancock, and a trail of unique artisan workshops, including sculptors, potters, weavers, and painters, as well as delicious local eateries.
The cottage is newly renovated, with a fully equipped kitchen complete with coffeemaker and local coffee, an open living and dining area with lovely forest and water views, and comfortable brand new mattresses in the two bedrooms. Watch the sunset over the bay from your lovely bluestone patio or screened gazebo, or take a short walk through a wooded path to see stunning, expansive views of Burying Island on your own private point. At night, read a book, play a game, or watch a movie, then fall asleep to the breeze in the pines and aspens, and the calls of owls and loons!
Whether you are in the mood to kick back, relax and enjoy nature, take in the iconic sites and outdoor experiences of Acadia, or explore local dining, nightlife and shops, this is the place for your Downeast Maine getaway.
