vacation rental description
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: one with a pillow top queen sized bed, one with a full sized futon, 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 full of flowers.
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 haven.
There is a shed for storing bikes or kayaks. Please bring your own towels and
sheets. We supply blankets, pillows and dish towels. For more photos please email and I'll send a link to our personal Maine web page.
