About this property

Cottage with a Vista

Charming, cozy, newly-renovated cottage with beautiful vistas. Less than an hour to Acadia National Park and just a few minute walk to the lovely Morgan Bay.

The cottage is elegant as well as rustic. A rare combination of nature, comfort and class. The cottage is located on an old Maine farm. A unique performing arts center is located a few hundred feet away. A lovely meditation center is also just a few minutes walk down the road.

There is a piano in cottage for anyone who wants to explore expressing themselves in music.

This apartment is located in a spacious, newly-renovated Maine barn on a beautiful and historic farm. It is a five minute walk to nearby scenic Morgan Bay, very close to hiking trails, biking and swimming. Acadia National Park is about 45 minutes away.

The farm offers a seasonal performing arts center featuring classical, jazz, singer songwriter and blues series among others.

Few rental spaces offer all of this in a ten-minute radius.

Pets: Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $50.00 for the one pet or $80 for two pets. The fee for the first pet is included in your VRBO total. If bringing more than one pet, the additional pet fee is payable in cash at checkout. Stays longer than 7 days will need to discuss possible additional pet cleaning fees with the host. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury.

Late arrivals after 9:00 PM are subject to a late fee of $25.00.

Additional guests: For more than 2 guests, there is an additional fee of $25 per guest per night.

We communicated with the host, Alan, that we would be a late arrival. He was very pleasant to deal with and assured us that he would be there to check us in and show us the cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and it was very comfortable. I enjoyed seeing deer on the property and listening to the birds. It made me feel like I was in my own backyard, on my deck, in Wisconsin.

Great Little Cottage

This was the perfect cozy cottage for a stay before heading to Acadia. It was clean, well-stocked, and had charming decor. The host was very kind and welcoming. The cottage is situated on a beautiful, quiet property with a view of Cadillac Mountain in the distance.

Our time at the cottage was wonderful! My boyfriend and I stayed for 4 nights over 3 days. The location is convenient for hiking, exploring, and of course Bar Harbor/Acadia. Alan was helpful during check in and offered his help whenever needed. The cottage was clean and well managed with cute decor! Overall a fantastic stay and would absolutely return in the future!

We experienced a delay on the way to the property, but Alan was very accommodating. The cabin was very neat and had all the amenities. It was ideally located between Blue Hill, where we were visiting friends, and Acadia, where we went for a day trip. The kitchen had all the cookware and dishes we needed. The bathroom was supplied with everything we needed and the bed was super-comfortable. The cool breezes at night allowed us to sleep peacefully through the night and awaken to a great view of Cadillac Mountain. Next time we are in the area we will definitely look into staying at this Cottage with a Vista!

Stillness in Surry

My husband and I found the cottage very comfortable and the location ideal for us. Peaceful and serene views all around. Close proximity to our friends in East Blue Hill. Made a trip to Acadia and Deer Isle. Very satisfying. Thank you to our host Alan for making it so easy for us to relax.

I had a lovely stay here, took the short walk to the coast with my dog, drove to Acadia Natl Park for a day and had some peaceful times in the cozy cottage enjoying the quiet and the views. Alan was a very responsive and thoughtful.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Host profile image
I have lived on this property for close to 40 years. I am originally from South Shore, Long Island, near New York City. In my younger years I lived, worked and went to university in New York City. I have pioneered the field of music therapy in the state of Maine, both on the higher academic levels and in terms of interesting and far reaching clinical projects.

For the last 6-7 years I have put my time and energy into developing a seasonal performing arts project (www.surryartsandevents.com). In addition, I have found I am well-suited for hospitality and have been successful in running three popular VRBO/AirBNB rentals. I know the area well, and like to share what I know with others. We are a 5-6 minute walk to the coast and well situated between two great towns, Blue Hill and Ellsworth. We are in close proximity to Acadia National Park, which draws millions of visitors every year before, after and during the pandemic. Finally, I very much want to be part of the solution, not the problem, so we follow all State of Maine CDC COVID-19 guidelines.

I try my very best to assist guests in every way possible. I very much want to share this beautiful area and see people having fulfilling visits and experiences.
