Summer special! Adorable Whale's Tail guest cottage.
New, Oceanfront guest cottage in the quaint village of Southwest Harbor on the "Quietside" of Mount Desert Island. This adorable cottage is the perfect vacation home for exploring Acadia National Park and the wonderful area surrounding it. Watch the lobster boats do their daily work or day dream you're on one of the beautiful yachts coming and going from our working waterfront/marina. Village amenities, such as restaurants, galleries, shops, bakeries, and bike shop are within a 5 minute walk. Park highlights such as Bass Harbor Head Light, Seawall, and Echo Lake are within a 10 minute drive. This house has 2 comfortable bedrooms, King bedroom and bath are on the first floor with an open loft with a queen bed and reading nook upstairs. The kitchenette includes a hightop table, refrigerator, microwave, Kuerig coffee pot, toaster, electric skillet, and outdoor grill. Large double copper sink in the bathroom allows for dishwashing for those light meals. This guest cottage is located on a shared property, there's multiple outdoor recreational areas including fire pits, grill, outdoor table, and lobster cooker, and a private porch with rocking chairs for quietly observing the harbor. Based upon availability multiple houses can be booked together with a 10% discount. Parking is available for 2 vehicles.
