_______________________________________________________________

Come and visit Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and the many charming villages our area offers for your Maine vacation.

Beau Se Jour Cottage is minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Enjoy a very private location right on the Ocean with direct views of Acadia National Park. Beau Se Jour is sited on Cadillac Mountain and is a spectacular location with views that are breathtakingly beautiful.

'Beau Se Jour cottage' was designed and built to be reminiscent of the shingle style cottages which have always been unique to Maine's seacoast.
Sun-filled rooms are tastefully decorated with vintage wicker and accessories. Birch bark railings, a gas stone fireplace, and a moose-horn chandelier give this cottage a distinctive look and feel of an earlier time.

Relax on the comfortable, large eat-in screened porch with panoramic ocean and mountain views.
This beautiful setting is perched on Frenchman Bay and has breathtaking views of Cadillac Mountain and Acadia National Park.

If you are a garden lover, our region is for you summer or fall. Enjoy these spectacular historical gardens: Asticou, Thuya and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Gardens located in Northeast Harbor.
Charlotte Rhodes Butterfly Garden in Southwest Harbor and Beatrix Farrand's home gardens in Bar Harbor, and Turrets Seaside Garden located at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor. Many garden tours are offered throughout the summer months.

Large master bedroom has a new king size bed and private bath. Sweeping views of the ocean and the mountains of Acadia National Park.
The large first floor bedroom has 2 full size beds, TV and views of the ocean.
Cottage sleeps 4.

We allow 1 well behaved pup. We are fairly lenient on size.

Come visit and experience our crown jewel, Acadia National Park both at the Bar Harbor "and" the Schoodic Peninsula locations.
Both are close by and you can enjoy all that the Park offers.

Enjoy a horse drawn Carriage ride, biking or walking on the Rockefeller Carriage Roads which span 45 miles and have 16 beautifully built stone bridges.
Enjoy Kayaking, Ranger Programs, a bus or boat tour to get a great overview of the Park and surrounding areas which are wonderful to explore.

Enjoy Bar Harbor with its Victorian flare, and the many charming nearby villages and towns each filled with their own unique characteristics.

We will be more than happy to help you plan your visit so you get the most out of your time in the Acadia National Park region as we live and work at Acadia so we can offer lots of places to experience and explore.

*Please note: Our weeks run Saturday - Saturday.

We allow 1 well behaved pup, with a small fee. (Please inquire)
We will send you our simple pet guidelines upon booking.

We require a signed rental agreement once you book your visit.
The rental agreement will have all the particulars about the cottage, our names and address, etc.

We offer a fairly lenient cancellation policy but suggest you purchase trip insurance through VRBO (small fee) should your cancellation not fall during the refund period.

We look forward to having you!

Lovely Cottage with a beautiful view
We really enjoyed our stay at Beau Se Jour. Quiet peaceful serene setting overlooking the water with the most beautiful sunrise. There is so much to do within minutes of the cottage. Laura and Robert were wonderful hosts and their attention to detail made our stay one we will always remember. If you are looking for the perfect place to stay near Acadia National Park, this is the place.

This was our first trip to Acadia and we had the best time taking day trips as it was central to everything we wanted to see. But the best part was coming home to this little slice of heaven. So peaceful and picturesque. Thank you for letting us stay.

Great place to get away and rewind. House is very clean, full of charm and spacious. Views are surreal. Pictures don't do it justice. Location was great. Peaceful, away from summer crowds yet close to multiple attractions (MDI, Acadia, Southwest Harbor, Schoodic). Fabulous hosts! Laura and Robert truely care about their guests. They are very responsive to text messages and provided tons of information about local attractions and restaurants (our favorites Red Sky, Beals Lobster Pier and Mortons Moo Ice Cream). This is one of the best VRBO homes that we have stayed at. Beautiful views, cozy house, solitude, great hosts!

Our beautiful stay
I can not say enough how wonderful our stay was at Camp Beau Sejour! The pictures on the website are wonderful, but they don’t do the real life cottage justice. It was spectacular, and away from the crowds at MDI Laura responded immediately to any questions we had preparing for our trip, and was as warm and caring as an old friend. She took care of so many details in the cottage, and we could want for nothing. The flowers outside were beautiful and so were the fresh cut flowers inside. The music playing when we came in was calming, and our furry family enjoyed the fresh water that she provided upon their arrival. We could have spent a full day enjoying the antiques, pictures, and crafts in the home. The house was spotless and the views couldn’t be beat. Laura, thank you for your hospitality and sharing your cottage home with us.

Beau Se Jour is a special place. The pictures can’t do it justice. It’s very spacious and well stocked. Truly the quintessential Maine cottage. Worth every penny. Laura is a fabulous host who truly cares that you have a wonderful stay. My only advice is you will need to book this one early to get it, and you be glad you did! I’d give it 20 stars if I could.

Absolutely stunning view with privacy
The weather wasn't the best for this week but if you had to have rainy weather, I can't imagine a better spot to be at. The house is well appointed with comfortable beds and beautifully decorated in a coastal theme. The view from the main bedroom upstairs is breathtaking in the morning, you do not have to get out of bed to enjoy it. It's equally dramatic on the first level and there are plenty of spots in the house to sit and read and still enjoy the view of the water. The screened in area would be a huge bonus when the bugs are out, fortunately the rain and cool temperatures kept them at bay for our visit. The waterfront/beach area can be accessed by a long set of stairs down to the water. It is very private and while there are a few neighbors, you don't really see the homes through the foliage. It really is a beautiful location.

Short but oh so sweet
Although our trip was cut short, we had an amazing stay at Beau Se Jour. This is the quintessential Maine cottage, full of character and surrounded by natural beauty. We couldn't have picked a better vacation home. The views are surreal and the solitude is priceless. If you need to disconnect, this is your spot. Our host Laura was on point. Everything was carefully orchestrated and planned right down to the beautiful soft music left playing for us as we entered the cottage. It really set the vibe. We were delayed and arrived much later in the evening than originally planned. Laura stayed in touch to make sure we would have no trouble finding the place as we would be arriving after dark. The weather had turned pretty chilly that evening as well. With these things in mind, she thoughtfully made a trip to the cottage to turn the lights and heat on for us. It was so incredibly thoughtful and appreciated after a long drive. She even checked in with us to make sure we made it back home safely. These are the small touches that go a long way with me. The communication was excellent and it's apparent how much time, thought, and preparation Laura puts into each visit. We wanted for nothing. If we ever get the opportunity to return, we will definitely be staying with her again. Thanks Laura! Much appreciation!

Unbeatable views and perfect location for us!
Laura’s property was lovely! Laura is also very lovely herself. She was very attentive, helpful, and just genuinely wanted to make sure we were having a good time. The home was very well kept and cozy. The views from the property were surreal. We woke up every morning to watch the sunrise. We enjoyed taking walks from the property at low tide and also rented some kayaks that were delivered right to the property. Laura’s place is about 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor and most Acadia hikes, but this is exactly what we wanted (as we find Bar Harbor a little too busy and tourist-trappy). There are a few quaint, but excellent restaurants nearby (Provender in Ellsworth and Ironbound in Hancock were our favorites). You are also not far from the Schoodic peninsula hikes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to revisit Laura’s place again soon!

A Perfect Week at Beau Se Jour Cottage
Where to begin describing how wonderful our stay was at Beau Se Jour Cottage? Mornings sitting by the fire having coffee, brilliant sunrises to wake up to or quiet evenings with a glass of wine on the porch. All of these include incredible views of Eastern Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Those memories would be a great start! The cottage is warm, eclectic, bright and oh-so cool comfortable. I We had to pull ourselves away each day to explore the area! The location is so convenient to so many wonderful sites, that every day we explored a different direction. Acadia to Blue Hill, Schoodic Point to the Bass Head Lighthouse, Gouldsboro to Brooklin…all were in easy drives from the cottage. Discovered new and amazing places each day, but made sure we were back at our favorite home to enjoy its views and amenities! Many thanks to Laura and Robert for making their jewel of a home available to us! It was such a pleasure to meet them in person and hear the love for their place! We hope to be back again soon!

Beau Se Jour was a wonderful spot. Honestly, it was even better than the pictures. The view from the house is just magnificent. We took advantage of the waterfront location and kayaked right from the house. Our golden retriever loved walking on the shoreline during low tide. There were so many locations in the cottage to relax and unwind. My personal favorite was the screened in porch. I loved the decor and enjoyed reading all the literature about Maine in the cottage. The area is great as well. We did a lot at the Acadia (biking and hiking) and also visited the Schoodic Peninsula. We also ate twice in Southwest Harbor. We took a schooner sunset sail and visited Bar Harbor a few times (our teen daughters loved that). If you are looking for a relaxing vacation in a beautiful spot, this is the place for you!

Great Vacation spot
Everything really did exceed our expectations. Just a beautiful and perfect location in a gorgeous, well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated cottage. We really liked that the grocery stores, restaurants and Acadia/Bar Harbor were so close, yet at the house we were very isolated. You have a wonderful view across the cove and Mt Desert Narrows from every window with Cadillac Mountain being the center piece. There is wildlife all around, from deer and turkeys to loons and bald eagles. We enjoyed many walks along the shoreline at low tide, witnessing many species of shore birds. We even saw seals with the binoculars! The weather was a little crazy, but we got to kayak a few times. If you are able, renting kayaks is highly recommended to add to your adventure, and another great way to experience the beautiful area. The views are spectacular. In the evening, pull up an Adirondack chair and gaze across the calm waters and up at the stars on a dark clear night. We got to see the October full moon rise, the car lights on Cadillac MT, and a few sunrises. Highly recommended.
