Originally part of a local hotel, this 100+ year old cottage invites you to become a part of its rich history. Embrace the character of uneven wooden floors that tell tales of laughter and footsteps. Let the ocean breeze weave its way through open windows, while fans play a gentle breeze. While the cottage does not have air conditioning it is nestled under the shade of towering trees. Fear not, fans are thoughtfully provided to move with the ocean air, ensuring your stay is both cozy and comfortably connected to nature. In winter, cozy up to the crackling fire stove in the living room, adding a touch of romance to your coastal retreat.

Summer:
June, July and August we are a weekly rental from Friday-Friday.

Shore Access:
Thanksgiving through the beginning of April the shore stairs will be inaccessible as we secure them for potential winter storms.

The cottage's location is ideal. It is situated within walking distance from Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park. The cottage is just a short drive to the entrance of Acadia National Park and the charming villages of Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island. Ellsworth is a short 15 min drive away.

Nearby attractions/activities: Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula, Kayaking, sailing, boating, fishing, rock climbing, paddle boarding, hiking, bird watching, nature tours, historical tours, lobstering tours, whale watching and so much more.

About the host

Hosted by Jenny

Host profile image
Hello! We are Jenny and Alan Power, owners of Cornerstone Cottage, with Jenny running the guest experience. We bought and renovated the cottage in 2020/21 and have been welcoming guests ever since. Jenny grew up visiting her grandmother on this exact strip of shoreline in Lamoine, Maine and is beyond thrilled that her own family is getting to grow up to form some of the same memories she has had. Jenny loves to welcome guests from near and far to enjoy and experience the DownEast region of Maine with friends and family who are the 'cornerstones' of their life!

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal for its location: in the middle of everything but you have your own privacy! The best part is you have those mountain and ocean views. The yard is amazing for yard games, fire pit conversations, shore exploring, kayak launching and so much more.

What makes this property unique

This is the best of DownEast coastal Maine kinda rolled up into one property! This property has the rocky shoreline, beautiful oceanfront views, serene nature setting and close to all the scenic locations in the area. It's the perfect home-away-from-home setting. The cottage originated back to the turn of the century as a part of the Shores Acres Hotel. It was separated from the hotel in 1917 and placed on this property. Guests who stayed in this hotel included notable architects, businessmen and politicians. When you stay here you are staying in a piece of Acadia history.
