Acadia Sound Cottage

Your quiet cottage in the woods of Acadia

A rare Mount Desert Island setting: a cozy cottage bordered by Acadia National Park on three sides. Tucked among the trees, it feels peaceful and secluded, yet Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and the island's best trails are only minutes away.

A home base for exploring Mount Desert Island

Spend your days hiking Acadia, exploring the coastline, and wandering Bar Harbor and the island's villages, then come home to the quiet of your own cottage in the woods.

The cottage sleeps up to 7 guests. A full kitchen means you can cook fresh Maine lobster for dinner or a hearty breakfast before hitting the trails. With both a living room and a den, there's room for everyone to spread out, and a dedicated workspace for remote work (or extra trail research). In the evening, fire up the grill on the deck overlooking the woods.

Acadia at your doorstep

With the national park surrounding the property, some of the island's best hiking and biking trails start right outside. Whether you're summiting peaks, biking the Carriage Roads, kayaking the coast, or just relaxing on the deck listening to the birds, it's all close by.

Good to know

  • You'll have the whole home to yourselves, including the kitchen, deck, grill, and parking.
  • A car is recommended for getting around the island.
