About this property

Peaceful Cottage with Ocean Access

If peace and quiet in your own home are what you desire, Cranberry View is the perfect retreat to bring the family and escape it all. Nestled by the shore of Western Way, the house offers the visitor plenty of privacy and access to the ocean's edge, surrounded by spectacular scenery. There is easy access to every activity Acadia has to offer, even free public transportation, in season, right from the end of the driveway. Easy convenience to the park, shopping, free public transportation in season, and all the other activities here on Mt Desert Island. About two hundred yards from the coastline. Delightful character with a large yard and gardens surrounding. Wander down to the water's edge, or enjoy nature from the ample yard, listening to the endless chatter among the birds and the sounds of the nearby ocean. A great place for kids and adults to explore all that Mount Desert and Acadia National Park have to offer.

Lovely house and lovely location!

We loved staying at this cottage! It was conveniently located to many great hiking spots and felt secluded enough out in the woods. Just a short walk from a very nice secluded rocky beach as well. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a great retreat out to Acadia!

Absolutely loved our stay..the mornings were shared with deer while drinking coffee. Beautiful quiet and nestled in a wooded area with walk down access to the shore...was in distance of partaking in the many sights in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Hostess was wonderful and made sure our basic needs were met..will definitely return and recommend

Acadia Home Base

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Anne was very quick to respond to any of our queries. We used the Cranberry Cottage as a home base while we explored Acadia. The location was perfect for us, and the cottage has a book with useful information on the area. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Great location to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor

Great location and nice property. Awesome communication with owner. Property would be enhanced with some minor improvements - another mirror outside the single bathroom and better lighting in bedroom. Regardless, happy to recommend this idyllic spot.

Beautiful Oasis

The Cranberry Cottage was wonderful. My parnter and our 4 year old child loved our stay. Great location to many fun adventures around the Bar Harbor area, but also perfectly tucked away in its own little neck of the woods. The home was very welcoming and had everything we needed to enjoy our family getaway.

House was great in a quiet location. Only thing they could do to improve it would be to add curtains downstairs for privacy.

Charming Cottage

Our family had a short 3 day stay and had everything we needed in the very clean cottage! The host provided fantastic local information. Our kids enjoyed the flat yard area, playing some soccer while the adults enjoyed the firepit. The location was peaceful, and our kids had a great time searching through the tide pools on the rocky beach.

Perfect vacation

Very nice place to stay and had a peaceful/quiet setting. Anne, the host, very helpful with information locally and on hikes, which our family really enjoyed. We also really enjoyed finding sand dollars along the coast, only a short walk from the property. We had a wonderful vacation!

Love Cranberry Corrage!

It’s just a beautiful little property and the house itself is comfortable and clean and lovely to stay in. There are constantly deer coming through the yard to visit the apple tree, it’s a short walk to a beautiful rocky Maine beach, and one of Mount Desert Island‘s favorite lobster pounds is on the corner. Couldn’t ask for more!

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed our stay….Southwest Harbor is much less crowded than the Bar Harbor area. Hiking suggestions were handy (we loved hiking around Jordan Pond…easier for us old folks and beautiful after the rain). Too bad the road was closed at the end of Seawall Road…we got to some trails by backtracking to 102. Loved Cranberry Cottage…lots of deer around the property, so you need to be careful driving! We would highly recommend a stay!
