TreeTops shorefront 3 story cottage/views. Schoodic & Acadia NP nearby. Kayaks!

Located on Frenchman's Bay on the scenic Schoodic Peninsula and just a short drive to Bar Harbor, Tree Tops Cottage is a private and charming guest house on a beautiful coastal property. Guests are encouraged to enjoy five acres of woodlands, gardens, and a peaceful, protected, pristine shore front. High in the branches of old pines, the 3-level cottage boasts panoramic views of the mountains of Acadia National Park, small islands, seasonal cruise ships at anchor, lights of Bar Harbor at night, and the occasional lobster boat working from local fishing villages. If Acadia National Park is on your itinerary, we are 30 miles from the main entrance on Mount Desert Island. Those who prefer a quieter hike will find numerous trails nearby on Schoodic Peninsula. If you prefer to stay at your vacation home, you can wander along garden paths to the water's edge where you can launch one of our kayaks and paddle into Flanders Bay, pass Seal Rocks, and pull up on a sandy beach for lunch and a swim. The protected cove is the perfect place to try kayaking in the finest paddling waters in the area, or striking out in an exploration of the many islands that make up the calm side of Frenchman's Bay. Take your camera as you look for nesting bald eagles, and walk along our shore to find sea heather in season. At day's end, relax in a hammock or chair by the water or on one of your cottage decks to watch the tide ebb and flow, and capture a spectacular sunset.

The first level master suite has a half bath for your convenience. Double French doors open onto the deck where you can enjoy morning coffee in the company of ever-present hummingbirds. The main level has a full bath, generously furnished kitchen/pantry and living area with dining table, relaxing chairs, a cozy nook for reading or napping, and a fireplace that adds to the comfort and charm. An elevated screened porch provides a captivating environment for alfresco dining or relaxing on the chaise lounge, A gas grill is provided for your culinary pleasure. In addition, on the third floor, there is a desk for work or games, a television, and additional sleeping accommodations for one person.

Whether you are looking for a destination to relax in the Schoodic and Bar Harbor area, enjoy the gardens and explore Downeast Maine, or want an active vacation to hike, bike, or paddle, Tree Tops Cottage welcomes you. The on-site owner is an excellent resource for all activities in the area, especially biking, hiking, and paddling.

This site was a gorgeous house and location, with stunning views from the back deck and upper screened-in porch, and a 4-min. walk to the boathouse and water. Also wonderfully generous hosts, easy access to the Schoodic Peninsula and Mt. Desert Island, and a very comfy king-size bed!
The Corea Heath loop trail is only 15 mins from the house, with beautiful views, cool lichen, lots of boardwalk and a few benches in just the right places..

Wonderful location with extraordinarily gracious hosts. Beautiful waterfront, and many watercraft choices. Close enough to Acadia to enjoy the Park, but far enough away to avoid the craziness. We enjoyed our week so much we’ll be doubling it next year.

The property far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect and we were well taken care of by our hosts. We were very comfortable inside and enjoyed the outside of the property as well. The views were spectacular from all 3 levels of the home. We took advantage of using the kayaks provided in the bay. The location was convenient to Acadia NP, Schoodic Point, grocery stores, restaurants and gas.

The surrounding gardens are gorgeous and the view from the screened in porch was simply beautiful. We can’t wait to return.

In a prime location to explore all of Acadia National Park, Tree Tops is the perfect place for a home base with views and amenities to make a day in a lovely experience.

The property is amazing! Beauty every where you look. So peaceful and relaxing. John and Ann were wonderful hosts. John helped carry our luggage to the cottage. They left us a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers upon check-in. Very helpful with things to do in the area. Lovely little tree top cottage. Convenient to area attractions. Would stay here again in the future.

Absolutely best VRBO experience we have ever had! Our hosts were awesome and the cottage was beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our week exploring Acadia on both MDI and the Schoodic peninsula. Highly recommend- our host, John, invited us for a ride in Frenchman’s Bay on his boat and with my hubby suffering from a touch of motion sickness from a sailing excursion previously we had to decline. Enjoyed a happy hour with our hosts in their gorgeous main house overlooking the meticulously maintained gardens. It was a pleasure to meet such wonderful hosts and would love to come back!

John and Anne are wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome. The property is even more incredible in person. You can tell that so much thought went into designing the cottage and main house. Loved having dinner on the deck and spending evenings on the screened-in porch overlooking Cadillac mtn. Great location out of the way, but still accessible to Acadia. Really look forward to returning-thanks for everything, John!

This was our third time staying at Treetops and each time it gets better. John is a wonderful host, ensuring that you have everything you need. He also took us on a wonderful boat cruise for an afternoon. It’s far enough from the crowds but close enough to the action. There is so much to see and do that you can never be bored.

The house was the best choice for us. It had great views and was set up nicely. John & Carolyn go above and beyond to welcome you and provided everything you could need. It was a home away from home.

Amazing view of Acadia/Bar Harbor

Our stay here was amazing!! John is a great host (with the sweetest puppy co-host), and the cottage is a great place to get away from the crowds and relax. You can see Cadillac Mountain and Bar Harbor across the Bay. There is a small walk down to the boat launch with kayaks there to see the Bay. Kayaking to the small island right across the water was a highlight. Although it was foggy and buggy the first night, my boyfriend and I had a wonderful trip and plan on coming back as soon as we can!
