About this property

Welcome to Snug Cottage. Enjoy an oceanfront property on coveted Herrick Bay, Brooklin Maine. Adorable shingled cottage with steps to your own private access to the beach with incredible views of the Bay, Acadia National Park and beyond. Take naps and read on the screened porch, play on the beach endlessly, look at the stars, listen to the loons, and decompress. Light a romantic fire at night to take the chill out of the air. This is a kids paradise, a romantic getaway, or both. You may just decide that you have found heaven on earth.

Life is calm and quiet. Do a puzzle, read a book, and watch the water. Could be nice and foggy, or warm and sunny. Either way-- it's just so relaxing there.

Comfort in the right location

The house was as comfortable as last year. We appreciated the fact that the owners allowed us to bring our newly rehomed border collie. The place was our dogs dream...screened in porched for snoozing, beech to roam whenever she wanted, comfy evenings before the fire in the Franklin stove, and a lawn to roll and play on. We enjoyed it all with her. The cottage is in a wonderful neighborhood away from it all but close enough for outings to the Co-Op and dinners in Blue Hill and many walks and hikes nearby. Also great restaurant and pub right up the road in Brooklin...what else do you need for a great week away from it all.

Peaceful, Comfortable, Enjoyable

My wife & I had a terrific stay at this quaint little cottage. We love the Blue Hill Peninsula area and this rustic, cottage was a great place to relax. Access to many good attractions, shopping, Bar Harbor, & restaurants. Living area was easy to relax. Sleeping quarters were very comfortable. I made breakfast every morning in the nice little kitchen, fully stocked. The hammock got some use too. Beach access was amazing. Perfect all the way around.

Great Maine Vacation!

Snug Cottage is an adorable, rustic cottage by the sea. My 16 year old son and I enjoyed the quiet location. We rented kayaks and watched two amazing sunsets from our boats in the water. So peaceful! Snug Cottage is not too far from Acadia, and we spent two days there. One day, we rented ebikes. That was a blast! My son and love to watch TV at night, so we brought my laptop. The house has great wifi, so we had no trouble streaming the last two seasons of Ted Lasso. Brooklin is an adorable town, and I highly recommend this quaint little town and Snug Cottage. Oh yeah, don't forget to watch for deer on the highway. We saw at least 20 in the 6 days we were here.
