A Bit of the Story
Once part of a historic coastal hotel, Cornerstone Cottage is a 100+ year-old retreat where charm and character still linger in every detail.
The original wood floors and ocean air drifting through open windows reflect a slower way of life along the Maine coast. While there is no air conditioning, the cottage sits beneath a canopy of shade, with fans placed throughout to keep the space comfortable and breezy—just as a true Maine cottage should be.
In cooler months, the wood stove brings warmth and a natural gathering place, making the cottage an inviting stay year-round.

Booking Details
June–August: Weekly rentals (Friday–Friday)

Shore Access
Shore stairs are available seasonally and are secured Thanksgiving through early April due to winter conditions.

Location:
-Walking distance to Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park
-Short drive to Acadia National Park~20 min
-easy access to Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor
-15 minutes to Ellsworth
-Gateway to Acadia Welcome Center: 8 miles
Perfectly positioned to explore all areas of Acadia while returning to a quieter coastal setting.

Nature & Setting
Cornerstone Cottage is surrounded by Maine’s natural landscape. Wildlife sightings may include deer, seals, and eagles.
As with any coastal setting, occasional insects are part of the environment. The home is treated regularly, and every effort is made to ensure a comfortable stay.

This cottage exceeded expectations all around. Beautiful tranquil location on the water. All the amenities you desire and more. About 20 minutes from dining options. Check out Sylvia’sCafe in Ellsworth for breakfast. We would love to stay longer next time. Jenny is the perfect host and a proud owner of this treasure on the bay. Did I mention the close proximity to Acadia?

Fabulous place for our cousin vacation in Maine. Amazing ocean view, great back porch with rocking chairs, and a wonderfully appointed house with comfortable beds, a great room for gathering, and a fully supplied kitchen! Our host was responsive and provided a thoughtful welcome to us. We were very pleased with our experience at Cornerstone Cottage and highly recommend it to others.

Lovely, welcoming and well appointed cottage with a view that invokes inner peace. The deer visited each morning and the Lemoine Beach was perfect for walks and kayak launches. It was an easy drive to Bar Harbor too. We had the best family vacation with our adult children. We would be back every year if we could!!

The kitchen and gathering rooms were great. We really liked that the two full bathrooms were both in the hall and could be used by everyone. Great view and lot. It was a long way from restaurants, so we decided to eat in at night. with rain we wanted to have a movie night, but the TV is very small for the space and made watching it difficult.

Perfect spring get-away

The cottage was just what we’d hoped for and more. Beautiful accommodations and you cannot beat the view and huge yard. We loved the fire pit for smores, walking down to look at rocks along the waters edge, and looking out at the ocean during meals from the dining room table. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend it!

We loved our stay. Immaculate and tastefully decorated cottage half hour from Bar Harbor. Appreciated the little extras like the binoculars, games, park guide and books. Would stay again if we come back. Eat at Paddys in Bar Harbor, rent ebikes and don’t miss Schoodic Pt or Campobello!

Family vacation just before the official season

We spent three lovely, relaxing days at the cornerstone cottage in late April. This home is bright and beautiful, gorgeous views of the bay from the living room couches. We spent the afternoons in Acadia, and although many of the shops and restaurants were closed until May, there were zero crowds in the park and we had wonderful hikes in the park under cool crisp big blue skies.
