Acadia National Park-Oceanfront Log Cabin-4 Bedoom-Sleeps 8-Pets-2150.00/week

Our family of 6 loved this place! The setting is lovely and private with views of water and mountains. Close enough drive to activities like Acadia hiking, Bar Harbor, shopping, and museums,etc. The inside of the house is beautiful and very clean. Had all we needed including comfy beds, well stocked kitchen, plenty of space to spread out, abundance of linens, washer /dryer with detergent, kids toys, umbrellas, etc. All you need to pack is your clothes! The owner answered all of our questions and even provided a binder of info about the house and area attractions. Kilkenny cove cottage is a perfect choice for a Maine vacation that includes a mix of rest/relaxation and local activities for a family or group.

What a great get away, this cabin was stocked like a store, everything you could image, well except for food.

Close to village.

Beautiful back porch partly screened in, looking straight on to Cadillac mountain. A must stay place if you are ever in Hancock, Maine, we loved it !!

We had a perfect family vacation at Kilkenny Cottage. This cabin has everything you could possibly need. The owners thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. Not only is the cottage clean and spacious but fully equipped. The bedrooms have comfortable beds with plenty of linens and blankets and the 2 bathrooms have a full assortment of many towels and are as clean and spacious as the rest of the house. We had 6 adults and two children and never felt crowded at all. We ate most of our meals in - taking turns cooking an assortment of meals - and always found whatever appliance or utensil we needed. There are board games , toys, books and a huge yard to play games in. We played wiffle ball, soccer, badminton, Frisbee and flew kites with plenty of space. We had Kayaks delivered and brought our canoe - we were out on the cove every day which is easily accessed from the property. The back porch is large and the views of the cove are spectacular both morning and night. Mornings were a favorite time to watch the deer, birds and other wildlife roam the back yard. We spent relaxing evenings catching up on the screened porch watching fireworks across the cove. This location is a short drive to Bar Harbor , Acadia, Schoodic Mountain and Lamoine State Park - where we hiked in one area every day and did so much more it is hard to put it all down. We knew our vacation was a success when our 6 year old grandson told us as we were packing to leave that we had to come back to this cabin because "I love it here!" We made great memories at Kilkenny Cove Cottage and would love to return someday.

Kilkenny Cove Cottage is beautiful! Our family of 5 (kids 14, 12 and 9) my parents and brother (total 8) stayed there for a week this June. There was plenty of space for us to spread out both inside and out. Laura and the caretakers keep this cottage in beautiful, clean condition and provide everything a family could think of for a"home away" during a fun active vacation. There were so many nice extras- boots to walk along the shore, extra raincoats and fleeces in the front closet, lawn games, fire pit, even a ping pong table in the basement! We spent most of our days on MDI but this cottage is only a 20-30 minute drive to the island and Laura even provides her guests with the shortcut to avoid most of the Rt 1 and 3 traffic! This cottage is right off of Rt 1 about 5 minutes north of Ellsworth but it is tucked back off the road and once there it feels like your are relaxing in your own private getaway! It is far more beautiful a spot than even the pictures show it to be! Thank you so much Laura- Kilkenny Cove Cottage is a treasure! Stayed 6/17/17-6/24/17

We had a great time at the Kilkenny Cove Cottage. The cottage was beautiful and very attractively furnished. The living room with its high vaulted ceiling and a functional fireplace was a just wonderful place to relax in the evening. Also, the broad back porch with an excellent view across Kilkenny Cove was a complete delight, We had most of our meals there outside looking out across the water and watching the humming birds flying up their feeders. Kayaking in the Cove was also great fun. The Cottage was very conveniently located with easy access by a short drive to either Acadia Park around Bar Harbor or the section of the Park on the Schoodic Peninsula. It was good to have easy access to both locations with a peaceful home base in between. Shopping was very convenient with a very easy drive into Ellsworth. We prepared most of our meals at the cottage with supplies from the excellent grocery store there. The kitchen at the cottage had all the facilities needed for our stay. It was a wonderful vacation spot and I would certainly like to stay there again sometime.
