The Gatehouse, shorefront cottage in Acadia

This cottage, with living space on the second floor for the view,
is perfect for two couples, with two very private bedrooms, each with
it's own bath. Cook's kitchen with all appliances, pantry and stunning
view to the ocean. Eat at the bar or the dining table. Cozy living room
with georgeous window seat. Laundry, third bath and den downstairs.The den becomes the third bedroom by pulling out the futon couch. Deck
across the front for outdoor living with view of Frenchman's Bay and
the mountains of Mount Desert Island. Stroll down through the orchard
to sit on the beach, watch the shore birds and boats go by, maybe even
go for a dip if you're brave. Just 20 minutes to Acadia National Park
and 25 min. to downtown Bar Harbor or 10 minutes to shopping in Ellsworth.

Our house is well supplied with movies, games and books for at home
leasure hours. There are lots of woods for walking and of coarse the
beach to comb. The property was once a farm so there's an old apple
orchard that attracts the deer at times. The field is big enough and
the westerly winds are just right for kite flying. We know, we've done
it! We'll leave our kite in the garage. Those same breezes will keep
you cool on hot afternoons as well as discourage the mosquitoes.

If you've come to see the sights, there's plenty to do. Acadia Natonal
Park is 20 minutes away with lakes, mountains, ocean drives for walking
or biking. There are rental places for bikes or kayaks, whale watches,
sight-seeing cruises, lots of shops, restaurants, movie theatres,
museums, a zoo, even an oceanarium. There's a funpark nearby in Trenton with a waterslide, miniature golf and other attractions. We'll have brochures at the house for you to check out. We are very near Lamoine State Park and the Lamoine Beach, one of Maine's best kept secrets, according to Down East Magazine, and we agree! It has the most amazing view of the mountains of Acadia across Frenchman's Bay. You've got to see it to believe it!!

We built our house in 2007 and have had only positive responses. Renters love our sound system and all the books and it's light airy feel.
