Originally part of a local hotel, this 100+ year old cottage invites you to become a part of its rich history. Embrace the character of uneven wooden floors that tell tales of laughter and footsteps. Let the ocean breeze weave its way through open windows, while fans play a gentle breeze. While the cottage does not have air conditioning it is nestled under the shade of towering trees. Fear not, fans are thoughtfully provided to move with the ocean air, ensuring your stay is both cozy and comfortably connected to nature. In winter, cozy up to the crackling fire stove in the living room, adding a touch of romance to your coastal retreat.

Summer:
June, July and August we are a weekly rental from Friday-Friday.

Shore Access:
Thanksgiving through the beginning of April the shore stairs will be inaccessible as we secure them for potential winter storms.

The cottage's location is ideal. It is situated within walking distance from Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park. The cottage is just a short drive to the entrance of Acadia National Park and the charming villages of Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. Ellsworth is a short 15 min drive away.

Nearby attractions/activities: Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula, Kayaking, sailing, boating, fishing, rock climbing, paddle boarding, hiking, bird watching, nature tours, historical tours, lobstering tours, whale watching and so much more. Information on all of these activities plus incredible restaurants included in a digital guest book.

Absolutely perfect trip! The cottage was amazing and exceeded all expectations. Tucked away and quiet, but great proximity to ANP and all we wanted to do. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful week at Cornerstone!
We felt at home instantly upon entering this charming Cottage. Very clean and spacious, well stocked and no clutter. The expansive lawn leading down to the water was well maintained and also enjoyed by a family of deer From time to time. Very peaceful! We would definitely stay again.

Amazing!
Cornerstone Cottage is absolutely beautiful! The property was exactly as described in the listing and was very clean and well appointed. The owner was very easy to work with and genuinely goes the extra mile to ensure her guests enjoy their stay. It was also conveniently located to Acadia National Park while remaining serene. I would definitely stay in this property again!

Quiet and Quaint Cottage
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!

Perfect Stay on the quieter side of Bar Harbor
Our stay at this house was absolute perfection--away from the bustle of the touristy Bar Harbor but close enough to enjoy all the restaurants and activities in Acadia-- enjoyed the sunrise on the water daily from our own backyard. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything you would need: comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of outdoor seating, fire pit, yard games... they thought of everything! Host Jenny very accommodating and checked in to make sure all was ok-- we are already planning our return next year. Loved it.

Family’s First Trip to Maine
Our family loved our first vacation to Maine so much that we are planning our visit to come again next year. The cottage was even more beautiful than I imagined with comfortable beds, beautiful views and the perfect location to visit Acadia. Our children are in their 20’s and loved Jenny’s recommendations in the digital guidebook for hikes in the park, sailing, restaurants and also enjoyed bonfires at the cottage, kayaking, games at night and big breakfasts in the kitchen each morning. Jenny is the best host and has put so much love into this cottage to make it special for guests. This was a gem of a find!

Cornerstone Cottage
Once a year my family plans a trip together. My family loves the outdoors and exploring new places. We all were beyond thrilled with Cornerstone Cottage and all the extras that came with our stay including a meticulously clean home and every little detail that was thought of. The location was perfect for our visits to Acadia National Park and we found some nearby hidden gems such as a nearby swimming pond. We all now share many beautiful memories of our time there!

Perfect place/location to enjoy the Bar Harbor area of Maine!
Cornerstone Cottage met all expectations for a great experience for a family of 3 generations. Clean, well-equipped and well located, it was easy to explore from there by car, foot or kayak. We would love to come back!

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.

Beautiful setting, immaculate condition
I felt like I walked into a new home. The house has four bedrooms and two baths at the end of the hall - all on the second floor. The first floor has spacious living space. The backyard is large; it is great for family games. The view from the backyard is breathtaking. The host cares about the house and her guests.

Great Getaway
The stay here was wonderful with all built in amenities and the location of the house is perfect. The house is connected to the water and has amazing views and you can just sit and soak them in. This place is pretty close by to all great attractions around. I definitely recommend this place to the folks who want to visit Bar harbor/Acadia national parks.
