Lovely home and sun room

A lovely home right on the water near Mount Desert town. It has a really nice sun deck and we enjoyed watching sunsets and eating dinner there. Check-in process and all logistics were easy and worked well.

Dory Haven is a wonderful place to enjoy the view watch sunsets and eat while on the Maine coast. We are glad you had an easy process to access the home for your stay and hope to see you again soon.

Dory Haven Stay

The home was spacious and allowed us to spread out after a day of hiking, biking or kayaking. However, there is only one bathroom, which can prove tricky at times with four people.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Jun 2026
We are glad you enjoyed the area and the outside activities that Mt. Desert Island offers. Dory Haven is a great property but it sounds like limited bathrooms wasn't the best fit for your group. Please book with us again and work with one of our exceptional guest service agents to find a home that will meet all your needs.

The coziest New England cottage!

We loved Dory Haven so much! Coming from the south, it provided such a warm welcome and a great fall getaway. Would definitely stay there again. It was the perfect distance from town too.
