My wife and I stayed at Cedarledge Cottage for a week at end of August, 2025, and we loved it. The cottage has magnificent views of the ocean, and it has a very well-stocked kitchen. The cottage is on the quite side of Mount Desert Island, which we appreciated very much.

Charming cottage

A charming cottage, tastefully decorated, fully equipped, comfortable beds. Kathy and Jay were helpful and enjoyable hosts. The water view is lovely from the deck and excellent from the chairs on the rocks at the end of the shore path. We saw the eagle, a pair of loons, eiders, guillemots, an osprey. Thurston’s for excellent lobster and crab is 10 minutes away. Quiet side Acadia hikes are easy to get to. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect in every way

Cedarledge is a perfectly appointed cabin with a stunning location. We used it as a base to explore the “quietside” of the island as well as Bar Harbor and Acadia. Jay and Kathleen are lovely hosts. The property is incredibly quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed several great meals at the Seafood Ketch in Bass Harbor and loved Quietside Snacks in Bernard (try the Butter Bird!) and highly recommend the Island Harbor Cruise to see seals and birds (out of Bass Harbor). Two easy, nearby trails are Ship Harbor and Wonderland. We can’t wait to return!

Peaceful place on the island

This place is away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. It’s a great launching point for all things Acadia. You’ll notice when you arrive the beautiful view of the ocean and you can spend your mornings on the back porch listening to the water hitting the shore. The place was clean upon arrival and the beds were comfy for your nightly rest. There’s fast internet and a smart TV if that’s your thing.

Hiking Trip

The property couldn’t have been lovelier! Right on the water to watch the boats and to walk right along the shore. Sitting on the Adirondack chairs at the end of the day was glorious. Bed is so comfortable. Pillows are comfortable. Kitchen well appointed. Has stove was great. Kathy super helpful host. Cannot wait to go back!

Another great stay!

We recently stayed at the Cedarledge property and had a lovely stay. We previously rented another of Kathleen’s properties so we were excited to find this one available for a last minute trip. The location was exactly what we were hoping for and was a great home base for us during our stay. Being waterfront is always beautiful, especially on a few morning where we had fog roll in overnight. We also thoroughly enjoyed eating our lobsters sitting on the deck chairs overlooking the water. The kitchen is well stocked and allowed us to cook many of our own meals. The internet is also quite strong, which is a plus and not something you can always count on while staying on MDI.

perfect scenery on Maine coast

Kathleen and Seaside cottages are a wonderful place to escape to from the city and enjoy the quiet and wonder of the Maine Coast on the quiet side of Mt Desert Island. Kathleen makes it all so easy to check in and help with any questions. Enjoy a short walk to two Adirondack chairs sitting on the rocky cliffs of the property to enjoy the ocean and sunsets. Lobster boats, deer, loons and even bald eagle were some of the wildlife we saw this trip. The cottage fits a couple well with a nice sunny master bedroom and smaller second bedroom. The living area has a dinner table, two chairs to watch TV, and a smaller couch for reading. But you probably won’t spend a lot of time there if you want to go out hiking in Acadia National Park.

The Perfect Getaway!

We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to stay an entire week in Maine! Absolutely charming cottage with everything so neatly arranged, and everything is there for you to call it your home away from home. In addition to the cleanliness and beauty of the cottage and landscaping, there is a short trail to your own private beach front. There's ample yard to play outdoor frisbee or other fun things. You will love the closeness of the coast and water to the cottage. The view is spectacular and all this is very private and you feel like you're experiencing something special! Just what you want when you vacation! Lounge on the outdoor chairs or hammock while never being able to walk away from that view of Blue Hill Bay, leading to the ocean. The coastline also gives you many beautiful pictures! My camera snapping shots inside and outside all the week long! The queen bed is very comfortable! Just bring sheets tis all! There's the view of the bay from your bedroom window! Seriously, you're constantly only approximately 60 feet from the water! Kathy Shields, friendly owner of the cottages at Seaside, shows her care for her properties in every thing from inside and outside your choice of cottage. You will have made a great choice to vacation at Seaside Cottages. You won't be wishing you were anywhere else. Enjoy!! We surely testify that it as the perfect place for us!!

A peaceful retreat with a beautiful view.

This was our first visit to Maine and we were not disappointed especially since we had this cozy cottage on the quiet side of MDI island to return to each evening after hiking, biking, and sightseeing. We had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and enjoyable to cook in. The cottage is very clean and the bed comfortable. We would not hesitate to rent again if the opportunity presents itself.

Great views, maybe a bit of cleaning is in order (and a new cable subscription)

The view of the ocean was the biggest draw to this home. You can walk along a short path and wade in the water. MDI has many mosquitoes, but when it rained, it seemed they were particularly abundant around this part of the island. For us, the biggest problem was the cleanliness of the home. There were roaches (or water bugs not sure) in the bathroom. Much of the house seemed like it needed a good dusting and cleaning. I would recommend that the owners hire a professional cleaning service in between guests. My sense of it was that they do their own cleaning. One other gripe was that the owners have some strange way of providing television or cable. You have to make your own subscription (and possibly pay extra). It was so complicated that we could not figure it out. The house was otherwise cute, all the amenities that you need were there, and the two owners are responsive.

Clean, quiet retreat with beautiful water views of Blue Hill Bay. It’s about thirty minutes to the Bar Harbor side of the island which was fine with us. The cottage was cute and cozy and the gas stove helped cut the chill in the morning. Very fun and relaxing family vacation! Thank you!

Beautiful stay at at great property

The cottage is great, Cathy and her husband are most caring hosts. Couple things to be mindful of that do not necessarily relate to the cottage itself: pack sufficient items to last you throughout your stay since there is no laundry in the cottage. If you travel by car buy your groceries on the mainland since the grocery store near property is sparsely stocked and overpriced. The property itself is grea with location being perfect in my opinion. Warm welcome and restful- exactly as needed
