Beautiful views to sit on porch having our coffee and watching the lobstermen go out in their boats.

Nice location and quite for relaxing after some long hiking trails in Acadia. The cottage and all the amenities (more than expected) suited this adult family of 3 with plenty of room.

The Lobster Cottage is Awesome

All modern conveniences in a charming cottage! The location is great for exploring Acadia National Park at Schoodic. There are good places to eat in the area. Some of our favorites were the Pickled Wrinkle, Lunch on the Wharf, and J.. D. Gerrits. I would definitely stay at the Lobster Cottage again.
