Cove House in Acadia

Since 2004, Cove House has been a great place to stay when visiting renowned Acadia National Park. The spacious deck allows you expansive views of Raccoon Cove, Frenchman Bay, Schoodic Point and the mountains of Mount Desert Island.

Enjoy Maine's natural beauty and the many attractions it offers while staying in this spotless, pleasant log cabin that is just right for a couple or for a family of six. Cove House sits on a bluff about 25 feet above the Cove.  It has an airy, open-floor plan - a great room with a cathedral ceiling and two stories of windows for panoramic views.  Dining area and fully equipped kitchen provide a pleasant eating experience.

Two bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other with two singles - and a full bathroom with laundry facilities are on the first floor.
The second floor contains the master suite with large walk-in closet, king bed, dresser, desk, satellite television, and even has plenty of room for a crib, provided as needed. The bathroom has a large jaccuzzi and separate shower.  A loft overlooking the living room is ideal to play board games, work on a puzzle, play chess or read a good book.

A bench overlooking the water is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the expansive view. There is access to the shore at one place only to protect the delicate vegetation and prevent erosion.
Children are welcome. We aim for a low allergen environment by keeping the property smoke- and pet free.

Cove House is your home away from home. It is very well appointed with many amenities including satellite Internet and Wi-Fi, satellite TV in the great room and master bedroom, DVD/CD, VCR.  The deck, which faces the Cove, has an umbrella table with four comfortable chairs, and a gas grill. Around the corner is a porch with a wicker love seat, two chairs and table, and a beautifully decorated bench for gathering around in the evenings.  The fully-equipped kitchen has dishwasher, microwave, gas range, automatic coffeemaker, grinder, toasters, blender, hand mixer, food processor, electric frying pan, pots and pans, large corn and lobster pots, and even a rice cooker. 

Just bring the baby! Crib, high chair, booster seat, pack-n-plays, stroller and baby gate are ready and waiting upon request. A roll-away cot is handy if everyone wants to sleep in the same room.

Fluffy towels, fresh bed linens, handsome rugs and comfortable, furniture make Cove House a very relaxing place to enjoy your vacation. Planters and barrels full of flowers welcome our guests.
