Charming Otter Creek Cottage in Bar Harbor

This charming cottage is in the quiet village of Otter Creek on
Grover Ave., five miles south of Bar Harbor. The house has two
bedrooms with queen-sized beds, plus a comfortable living/dining
room, a fully equipped kitchen, and one bathroom. There is a small
room at the end of the house that is perfect for writing or art
making. A screened-in porch with two rocking chairs catches the
morning sun. There is a two-car driveway and a cute front yard.
Just down our dead-end road is the head of Otter Cove. The ocean is
a 10-minute walk right out the front door through Acadia National
Park. Continue on the Park Loop road to Otter Cliffs and Thunder
Hole. An easy walk up our road is a nice general store and a five-
star restaurant called The Burning Tree. A free bus circling the
island stops at the top of the road.
Quick drives are Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor (3 miles), Day Mountain (1
mile), the Jordan Pond House, mountain hikes, swim-able lakes and
numerous sites on Mount Desert. But leave hustle and bustle behind
when you come back. Our cottage is a peaceful rest.
There is a shed for storing bikes. Please bring your own towels and
sheets. We supply blankets, pillows and dish towels. Check in
