About this property

Seastone - Pine Forest Cottage 4.5 miles from Acadia, 7 to downtown Bar Harbor

SeaStone Cottage is geared towards vacationers who want to get the most out of their adventures on Mount Desert Island. SeaStone Cottage is perfect for honeymooners, families, business travelers and backpackers.

Dine in with our fully furnished kitchen, or cook out with our backyard gas grill. Come and relax! Enjoy coffee on the deck, read in the gardens, and explore Acadia National Park.

Nestled amongst a pine wood forest in the village of Town Hill, SeaStone Cottage is centrally located for your convenience. We are just 4.5 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park, 7 miles from Bar Harbor, and 3.5 miles from Somesville, Southwest Harbor and the quiet side of the island! We are also located less than one mile from the Atlantic Brewing Company and the Town Hill Market, known for its delicious homemade sandwiches and snacks, and where you can access the free Island Explorer shuttle.

This rental is owned, managed and cleaned by a local family to ensure the best experience for our guests. Let us make your stay in Acadia one you'll never forget!

The rental unit is 1,120 sq. ft., with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open-concept kitchen and living area. It features a private entrance and parking for 2+ cars. The private deck and side-yard offer outside dining for 6, gardens and flower plantings. Enjoy grilling or dining outdoors with the propane BBQ, and end your evenings relaxing under the stars.

Inside the home our visitors love the full kitchen and the home library filled with guidebooks, local authors, brochures, maps, menus, magazines and novels. As an Island native, I have also included a binder filled with local tips, suggestions, can't-miss opportunities and all of my family's personal favorites from restaurants, hikes, tours, and hidden-gems. On rainy days, or evenings in, play one of the many board/card games or enjoy a movie.

Below the vacation rental unit is a separate walk-out basement apartment with private entrance and additional parking. This apartment is used by the owner as a property management and massage office. This space is not available as a part of the vacation rental.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Cozy Stay Near Acadia

Property was a 15 min drive to Bar Harbor, great location, very clean and organized, no A/C (which was expected) but opening the windows at night kept it cool! Tub in master bathroom is hard to get in and out but that was listed in the property details, lovely area, quiet and a lot of wildlife in the area, we saw deer, birds, turtles and porcupines! Host was outstanding in communication and super helpful!

Relaxing

Just a short drive from the crowds in the downtown area and the majestic Acadia National park. We were able to work during the day and explore in the evening. Nights were cool and getting a great nights sleep was no issue. We always woke refreshed. Also saw some wildlife on the property including a 6 point buck and a bunny.

Wonderful vacation home

We spent a week in this great home while hiking and biking Acadia National Park. It was the perfect distance from the park and Bar Harbor. Amber was a great host and her property was exceptionally clean and very comfortable for four adults. If we ever vacation in that area again I will look to book this exact same home

Why they chose this property

Mount Desert Island was selected as the 25th best island in the world by Travel & Leisure. Sand Beach was featured as the Destination of the Day by The Huffington Post. Acadia National Park was rated as the 2nd best for biking in the country. And Bar Harbor's Town Square was honored as one of the most beautiful by Travel & Leisure.

This island is known as 'Eden,' and I hope that while you visit with us you are able to Live, Travel, Adventure, and experience this amazing place and come to love it as I have.

What makes this property unique

SeaStone Cottage is in the ideal location for those looking for a complete vacation experience on Mount Desert Island. Nestled in a pine wood forest in the village of Town Hill, Seastone is centrally located just 4 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park, 7 miles from downtown Bar Harbor, and 3.5 miles from Somesville, Southwest Harbor, and the "quiet side" of the island. Spend your morning swimming in Echo Lake, or jumping off the secluded cliffs into Long Pond. Enjoy the view of Somes Sound from the top of Acadia Mountain. Hike the Beehive in the afternoon, or if you're daring take a chilly dip at Sand Beach. End your evening in Bar Harbor enjoying dinner or watching the sun set from the top of Cadillac Mountain. Don't forget to end the night with some ice cream while you enjoy live music in the Village Green, or a cocktail at any of the local watering holes. Wherever you go, you are always just minutes away from SeaStone!
