Acadia Carriage Rd Access Walk to Jordan Pond House

Step out your back door into Acadia National Park

This is the rare Mount Desert home with a private trail connecting directly to the National Park's carriage road system — bike, run, or walk straight into Acadia without ever touching a car. Perfectly positioned between the quiet luxury of Seal Harbor and the rugged charm of Acadia National Park, you're just 10 minutes from Jordan Pond House and Acadia's main attractions and only 13 minutes to Bar Harbor. Seal Harbor beach is located just a mile away where you can enjoy the best sand beach on Mound Desert Island, perfect for sea glass hunting, paddleboarding, swimming, or enjoying a beverage while you watch the sunset.

Spread out in comfort: The large great room features a beautiful wood paneled vaulted ceiling and quiet views into Acadia National Park. Unwind by the fireplace or stay cool with full AC (a rare find on the island). Challenge the family in the basement game room or give the kids their own movie night on the large screen tv. The dining room has seating for12, plus more seating at the large kitchen island. The kitchen is designed for cooking and has lots of space for multiple cooks to work together. We have outfitted the kitchen with all the essentials! If you don't want to spend your time eating indoors, take advantage of the large grill and enjoy dinner on the large deck looking into the park. The front porch is the perfect spot for a quiet cup of coffee or listening to the ocean during a storm.

A first floor full bath and queen bedroom offer a step free option. All our mattresses are new and high end, ensuring you will enjoy a great night’s sleep to recharge for your next adventure. We have extra bedding to ensure you are comfortable all year.

Whether you're here to hike, bike, or just relax within earshot of the park, Carriage Road Cottage puts you closer to Acadia than almost anywhere else on the island. Enjoy the perfect location away from it all with easy access to the highlights of Mount Desert Island.

Seal Harbor is the secret gem of Mount Desert Island, located just a quick drive to Bar Harbor, but well outside the hustle and bustle so you can escape from it all. This home is as close as you can stay to the park without camping! The great room looks back into the serene woods of Acadia and you can enjoy our private trail that takes you right to the Carriage Trail system. You can walk, ride or run to the famous Jordan Pond House and never have to fight for parking! It is also a short walk to shops in Seal Harbor, The Lighthouse restaurant and Seal Harbor Beach. Northeast Harbor is also a short drive away where you can find more quaint shops and restaurants. Seal Harbor has a stop on the Island Explorer Route for convenient access during peak season. Our home also has a Level 2 EV charger available for guest use for a small additional fee.
