About this property
Upscale Lakefront Cottage - Kayaks, Jacuzzi for 2, A/C, 45 min to Bar Harbor
Rent by the week. 7 night minimum stay. Experience a slice of heaven and Enjoy Maine, "the way life should be" in a new UPSCALE 4 season romantic lakeshore cottage with breath taking views, in a convenient location on Hancock Pond, close to town and tourist areas like Bar Harbor, yet private with a rural feeling, complete with wildlife such as chipmunks, humming birds, loons, ducks, an eagle once in awhile, etc. The upscale cottage is in Bucksport, a beautiful small seaside town that was founded in 1764 on the Penobscot Bay (ocean). Bucksport is 30 minutes from Bangor Airport, 40 minutes from Bar Harbor/Acadia, 30 minutes from Camden, Blue Hill, Castine and other lovely areas. Bella Cottage is only 40' from the lake in a pristine swimmable cove, yet only 15 minutes to the town Bucksport, with grocery store and restaurants. Fabulous views and all of the modern upscale conveniences for your comfort and pleasure. Three bedroom, 2 bath, single story cottage completely furnished, including all linens. The master and 2nd bedroom have a queen size bed (firm) and the 3rd bedroom has a futon that is converted into a full size bed. AIR CONDITIONING in the Living Room and Master Bedroom for your comfort, as it can get hot in the summer! Ceiling fans throughout. The cottage has WIFI for internet access and an incumbent bike for exercise on a rainy day. Front load full size large capacity washer and dryer for your convenience -- no trips to the laundry mat.

Minutes to downtown Bucksport where you have access to groceries, gas stations, restaurants and fun things to do, like seeing the Observation Tower on the Penobscot bridge, Fort Knox, and taking a movie in at a quaint 1920's local movie theater, the best old fashioned ice cream shoppe, good memorable restaurants, book store, fish hatchery, take a walk along the awesome walking trail on the waterfront, see the new Art Light House, Huckleberries gift shop, and sweet cheeks bakery. Be sure to see the grave marker of Colonel Buck on Main Street, where the legend says a witch burned at the stake said she'd leave a boot and a heart on his tombstone!

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Bella, owner; Sandy Robshaw Property Manager
We grew up in Southern California. My husband spent his summers in Bucksport as a kid working on his uncle's dairy farm. I've been a city girl my whole life with a passion for animals and fell in love with Bucksport the first time I saw it when I was 22 years old. We purchased the un-winterized 'camp' to vacation in summer before we purchased our first home! We built the new Cottage in 2005 in the same spot the old camp was located and plan to spend retirement years in the summer here.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of the beauty of the lake, the wild life, close to town as well as close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, Deer Isle, Ellsworth, Bangor, Castine and Camden. We love the small town atmosphere and the closeness to larger cities for convenience.
What makes this property unique
Fantastic views from the living room of the lake to see the loons, ducks, deer, turkeys, chipmunks, butterflies, birds, turtles, squirrels, an Eagle once in awhile. The setting is so peaceful by the lake, hearing the water, birds, and the sounds of nature. The view is breath taking and sitting outdoors on the deck to enjoy it is a favorite past time. Yet it is convenient to town for groceries and restaurants and so easy to get to Bar Harbor, Searsport, Belfast, Trenton and Blue Hill, my favorites. The house is a cottage, but with all the modern conveniences, modern kitchen, AIR CONDITIONING in living room and Master Bedroom, reclining leather couch and chairs, great master suite, front load oversize washer and dryer, internet, central vacuum, and a 65'' HDTV very private and peaceful -- a slice of heaven!
