Acadia is literally across the street and the best carriage roads in the park are a short walk down the street in one direction, with Seal Harbor Beach a short walk in the other. Pemetic, Penobscot, Cadillac, and Day mountains are all accessible without even getting into the car. It is a short walk out the front door to Jordan Pond House, Wildwood Stables, and Seal Harbor Beach. In classic Maine fashion, this handsome cottage was originally built in 1890 as a workshop for a local carpenter. It has since been lovingly restored and converted to a summer home in the best spot on the island for easy access to carriage roads, central peaks, and sailing in the Great Harbor. A one-floor living space featuring an open concept kitchen, dining, and living space. The space is incredibly bright, with windows covering the entire western end of the building and plenty of southern exposure. There is a large pullout couch and an oversized chair and ottoman in the main living room and a dining table that seats six. The kitchen is clean, efficient, and outfitted with all of the necessary tools. All of the artwork featured throughout the house is by local artisans. There are two bedrooms, both with oversized windows for plenty of light. The master has a queen bed with double closet. The second bedroom has a double and a twin bed with double closet. Outdoors is a seating area with cedar Adirondack chairs made by a local craftsman and a Weber propane grill for your use. There is plenty of parking for up to three vehicles. A full size washer and dryer are free to use as needed. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Unit size: 1,000 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111030000/111028500/111028489/ff16e4a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-bedroom Log Cabin with AC, WiFi ,Southwest Harbor That Rents SAT-SAT ONLY Southwest Harbor - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=111028489&PinnedHotelID=111028489&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101420000/101419500/101419500/w1344h896x3y4-5fb774ef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3BR- Walk or Bike to Acadia! \[Carpenters Quarters\] Mount Desert - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=101419500&PinnedHotelID=101419500&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102490000/102489500/102489466/0e741215.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 BR Apt Walkable to inside Park! \[Acadia Outpost\] Bar Harbor - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.2 Wonderful 22 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=102489466&PinnedHotelID=102489466&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112160000/112150200/112150120/2b168966.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Cottage in the Shadow of Day Mountain Mount Desert - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=112150120&PinnedHotelID=112150120&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33482100/33482030/56c9beef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walk to Acadia!
