Perfect location ctr of MDI! Close trails. Local owners Ideally situated in the center of Mount Desert Island, Echo Pines Cottage is the perfect "home away from home" for vacation activities. It's only minutes from popular "quiet side" trails, including stunning Acadia and Beech Mountains. The entrance to Acadia's pristine, swimmable Echo Lake is only 3 miles away. You'll enjoy a view of the northern section of Echo Lake from the cottage's front windows. The house sits on 1.5 wooded acres, on a private road. The home is surrounded by tall pines and birch trees. Watch for deer that regularly pass through the yard, and listen for the call of the loons from the lake. Enjoy eating around the wood- topped kitchen island, or sit by the bay windows looking toward the water. The cottage is private, but close to all the activities the island has to offer. "Downtown" Bar Harbor is about 15 minutes away, and quaint Southwest Harbor is less than 10\. The house has been outfitted for your comfort, including premium mattresses and many kitchen conveniences and amenities. You'll love the whimsical, "Maine" character of the place. And we take pride in having a spotless cottage! There are two bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, plus a queen-size pull-out couch with memory foam mattress in the living area and a full size futon couch / bed in the back reading room. The reading room can be closed off for privacy. There are two full bathrooms, both with showers and tubs, one upstairs and one down. The kitchen is fully appointed, ready for family meals and gatherings! You'll find many basic kitchen staples, like standard spices, cooking oil, and storage wraps provided for you. We also stock condiments in the fridge. In the basement there's a washer and dryer for your use. Laundry detergent is provided. There's also a ping pong table, ready for those family tournaments. We, the owners, are local, living on the west side of Bar Harbor, so we're intimately familiar with the area and are ready if you have any issues or questions. We make every effort to go above and beyond for visitors to MDI. We love the island and truly enjoy sharing it with those who come to experience this fabulous national park. Our goal is that you leave loving Acadia National Park and MDI as much as we do.

We honestly felt like we won the lottery discovering in early to mid-June that this property had one magical week still open for this summer. Located in a quiet wooded area sitting just above Echo Lake, we loved being just 5-10 minutes from some incredible trails, and also just 20 minutes from Bar Harbor. We even found a little pull-over spot for swimming in Echo Lake less than a 3 minute drive from the house, which we visited multiple times during our stay. This was also one of the best stocked houses we've ever stayed in and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hosts also were thoughtful and responsive in answering some last minute questions that came up around what trails might be ideal for hiking with a 9 and 11 year old. Perhaps one of the things our kids love the most about our stay was the volume of deer we regularly got to see each day around the property - we learned a neighbor leaves out water bowls for the deer so they seem to frequent the neighborhood multiple times a day. We hope to be fortunate enough to come back some day! ##### Whitney F.

Location was great - quiet, secluded spot in the woods, but close to Acadia NP and amazing restaurants in Southwest Harbor - less than five miles away. Kitchen is well stocked - one the best we've had during our many trips, beds are quite comfortable and there is lots of space to relax indoors or outside.

Echo Pines was perfect! There’s no hesitation in giving Ellen and Kurt 5 stars across the board. Communication was quick and helpful from possible govt shutdown, to a long list of favorite restaurants and activities. Echo Pines was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in. It was equipped with anything you might have needed. While we didn’t cook at the house anything you might have needed was there, very well stocked! Nice washer and dryer, plenty of linens/towels, cozy quilts for cool nights, comfy beds, … the list goes on. The house was tucked away in the woods, making for a quiet, peaceful stay. Location was perfect and away from busy Bar Harbor. We were up and out early each day and made it to all major trail heads within 15-20 min. Some of the best restaurants we ate at were on this side of the island as well. Pleased with our choice to stay at Echo Pines is an understatement. We will definitely stay here again if we get the chance to visit MDI and Acadia again! ##### Lauren S.

When we got to the house late at night, the power was out due to a storm that had gone through that evening. Fortunately, there were several conspicuous flashlights inside the front door and power was restored early the next morning. It was clean and well supplied with kitchen utensils and appliances, bedding, bathroom supplies, and several games. The two main bedrooms on the upper floor were above average in size with comfortable beds and large closets. The owners supplied detailed directions for getting in the house and leaving, as well as information about things visitors might need such as groceries stores, places to eat, park maps and suggestions of things to see/do. We all had a great visit to Acadia N. P. and the Cottage was the perfect base location to do our exploring. ##### RICK L.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ginger C. 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family of four had a fabulous stay here, and we would have loved to stay longer! The location is quiet and scenic, the kitchen is well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and we even made use of the ping pong table one rainy afternoon. The location provided easy access to Acadia, Southwest Harbor (where we did a Sail Acadia cruise), Bar Harbor, and various other points of interest. The spacious, well stocked kitchen made for easy meal preparation, and we appreciated being able to use the washer and dryer as well. All in all, a perfect stay, and I would highly recommend this place! ##### Ginger C.
