Property Description

Ideally situated in the center of Mount Desert Island, Echo Pines Cottage is the perfect "home away from home" for vacation activities. It's only minutes from popular "quiet side" trails, including stunning Acadia and Beech Mountains. The entrance to Acadia's pristine, swimmable Echo Lake is only 3 miles away. You'll enjoy a view of the northern section of Echo Lake from the cottage's front windows. The house sits on 1.5 wooded acres, on a private road. The home is surrounded by tall pines and birch trees. Watch for deer that regularly pass through the yard, and listen for the call of the loons from the lake. Enjoy eating around the wood- topped kitchen island, or sit by the bay windows looking toward the water. The cottage is private, but close to all the activities the island has to offer. "Downtown" Bar Harbor is about 15 minutes away, and quaint Southwest Harbor is less than 10. The house has been outfitted for your comfort, including premium mattresses and many kitchen conveniences and amenities. You'll love the whimsical, "Maine" character of the place. And we take pride in having a spotless cottage! There are two bedrooms, both with queen-size beds, plus a queen-size pull-out couch with memory foam mattress in the living area and a full size futon couch / bed in the back reading room. The reading room can be closed off for privacy. There are two full bathrooms, both with showers and tubs, one upstairs and one down. The kitchen is fully appointed, ready for family meals and gatherings! You'll find many basic kitchen staples, like standard spices, cooking oil, and storage wraps provided for you. We also stock condiments in the fridge. In the basement there's a washer and dryer for your use. Laundry detergent is provided. There's also a ping pong table, ready for those family tournaments. We, the owners, are local, living on the west side of Bar Harbor, so we're intimately familiar with the area and are ready if you have any issues or questions. We make every effort to go above and beyond for visitors to MDI. We love the island and truly enjoy sharing it with those who come to experience this fabulous national park. Our goal is that you leave loving Acadia National Park and MDI as much as we do.

We couldn't have imagined a better set-up for our first time to visit and explore Acadia. We honestly felt like we won the lottery discovering in early to mid-June that this property had one magical week still open for this summer. Located in a quiet wooded area sitting just above Echo Lake, we loved being just 5-10 minutes from some incredible trails, and also just 20 minutes from Bar Harbor. We even found a little pull-over spot for swimming in Echo Lake less than a 3 minute drive from the house, which we visited multiple times during our stay. This was also one of the best stocked houses we've ever stayed in and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hosts also were thoughtful and responsive in answering some last minute questions that came up around what trails might be ideal for hiking with a 9 and 11 year old. Perhaps one of the things our kids love the most about our stay was the volume of deer we regularly got to see each day around the property - we learned a neighbor leaves out water bowls for the deer so they seem to frequent the neighborhood multiple times a day. We hope to be fortunate enough to come back some day!

Loved the house, bed comfortable, water views from many rooms, excellent kitchen space. Great location. Deck space very comfortable. There is traffic noise from route 3 which can be heavy during the day on weekend but not as bad at night. Hosts very accommodating and felt like they cared about your stay.

Very nice house in a secluded area of MDI. About 15-30 minute drive to most places, which was perfect for us. Comfortable rooms. Great kitchen and amenities. Very good communication with the host.

An absolute gem of a property! Located in the quiet woods with great view of Lake Echo yet a quick drive to the major Acadia locations. We were able to get to all of our destinations and find parking without issue because of the accessibility. The home has everything a family needs to have a wonderful vacation, including a mini-trail my kids loved. The owners have one of the most insightful packets we’ve ever had that helped us find new things to do with our kids. We plan to stay here when we return to Acadia again someday.

The cottage was amazing! Private and had a view of the lake. Super clean and had everything we needed. 15-20minutes to pretty much everything the area has to offer. The owners were quick to answer any questions and had great recommendations. I would give it more than 5 stars.

This property by far exceeded our expectations! The home was stocked with everything we needed. It was clean and just a beautiful setting. We enjoyed grilling after a long day at the park. We even saw deers one evening while sitting out back! The host was quick to answer any questions and had a welcome sign and chocolate blueberries upon arrival! I would absolutely recommend this location and home!
