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 "quietside" trails, including stunning Acadia and Beech Mountains. Entrance to Acadia's Echo Lake is only 3 miles away. You'll enjoy a view of the northern part of Echo Lake from the cottage's front windows!
The house sits on 1.5 wooded acres, on a private road. It's surrounded by tall pines. 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. You'll love the whimsical, beachy character of the place. And we take pride in keeping the cottage spotless!
There are two bedrooms, both with premium 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. There are two full bathrooms, 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 spices, cooking oil, and storage wraps provided for you.
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 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.
Welcome!
