2bd, On Pigeon Hill Bay, fire pit, lawn runs to the beach, air in loft, quiet

Photos update June 2024
FYI, driving distance to Bar Harbor is one hour....55 miles.
Highly recommend purchasing the cancellation insurance upon booking as we have a no refund policy.

Cleaning fee listed is for 1 to 10 nights. If booking more than 10 nights, please inquire for the updated cleaning fee.

The setting is quiet and peaceful.......
the ocean washing along the shore will certainly lull you to sleep and will be the first sound you hear in the morning when you wake. Start your days walking on the rocky shore enjoying the vast views of Pigeon Hill Bay including local lobster fishermen hauling their traps just feet from the cottage. The Petit Manan Lighthouse can be seen in the distance and the fog horn can be heard. In the evening enjoy the fire pit located on the edge of the shore. This is Maine, The Way Life Should Be.....
The cottage offers a main bedroom with a queen bed. The loft accessed by spiral stairs, has four twin beds. The loft also has a window air conditioner for your comfort.

Just minutes from the cottage enjoy a short hike to the top of Pigeon Hill. Once you crest the top, you can see for miles. A perfect spot for a picnic and great photo opportunities! If you prefer bird watching or happening upon a deer or rabbit, a great hike along the Hollinsworth Trail on Petit Manan Point is in order. While there, visit All Souls Chapel.
Services are led by local residents and held on Sundays. (Seasonal)

Save a few hours to enjoy a boat ride to Petit Manan Lighthouse located two miles off shore. Daily boat tours leave from Back Shore Road (Acadia Puffin Tours) which is a 5 minute drive from the cottage.

Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards etc. The bay is a great place to explore. It is tidal which means the tide will go in and out, changing every six hours.

Take a day trip to explore one of the nation's most beloved parks, Acadia National Park, (approximately 1 hour drive).
Acadia at Schoodic Peninsula is a shorter drive, approximately 40 minutes. Both offer hiking trails through the forest or rocky shorelines. Bar Harbor hosts many restaurants and shops; a great place to spend the day.

The neighboring town of Milbridge has several restaurants and other stores to supply you will everything you may need during your stay. We look forward to hearing from you.

Great weekend getaway
Beautiful location on an incredibly peaceful inlet. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the Maine coast scenery away from all of the crowds in Acadia. The cottage is very clean and well furnished, lots of good advice from Wanda on where to get food and hiking in the area.

Beautiful stay by the sea
This cottage was very clean and well stocked. It's a simple but roomy cottage with spectacular views and relaxing atmosphere. It's close to Acadia and Bar Harbor yet away from the hustle and bustle. Our kids loved exploring the beach in the mornings at low tide and I enjoyed my morning coffee with the quiet lapping of the waves. The stargazing here is overwhelmingly spectacular

What a great property - just as described. Wanda was very attentive to any questions we had. Remote but close to small villages for needed amenities. Evening fires allowed us to be outside listening to the waves ... a S’more or two may have been enjoyed as well.

Beautiful spot away from it all!
We had a wonderful time on pigeon road! The house was perfectly appointed and clean and just right for our family of five. It’s right on the water on a cute country lane. Everything about the spot was beautiful and fun. But be prepared to drive an hour to Bar Harbor and the main sites in Acadia. This really is in the middle of “nowhere.” It’s pretty and just right if that’s what you’re after! There are some closer hikes, but we spent most of our time in Acadia/Bar Harbor since we’d never been before and it was a bit of a haul. Wanda is really wonderful. Very communicative, friendly, helpful — and had the house spotless for us upon arrival. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Gorgeous views and immaculate charming cottage
Wanda was extremely communicative and helpful before and during our stay. The location was amazing with mesmerizing views! A mile down the road was Hollingsworth Trail.. fabulous! Winter Harbor had a cute yummy diner. Chipmans In Milbridge was the real lobsterman experience where we brought home cooked seafood. 44degrees North was a great lobster lunch. The shop across the street has cute souvenirs. Machias was a beautiful drive. Lunch at Helens was super. Also drove from there to Jasper Beach and Rogue Bluff. Schoodic Point is definitely worth the drive too. I’d stay there again in a minute!

Cozy Cottage
My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little cottage by the sea. We appreciated the private and quiet beachfront setting and the many amenities that the cottage offered. The air-conditioned loft area was the perfect spot for the boys. The cottage was clean and well-maintained. Wanda was a very responsive and helpful host. We were happy to be within an hour of the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and took several day trips to the park, including Schoodic Point. Having a grocery store and good take-out spots only a few minutes away was an added bonus. We were surprised with the wildlife we saw from the cottage: a bald eagle, deer, a rabbit, and “Spike” the porcupine. The puffin cruise 5 minutes down the road was great too. We hope to return soon!

Gorgeous Quiet Spot
This cottage was a perfect spot for our family of 5 to enjoy several days on the coast. The "village" of Pigeon Hill is very quiet and peaceful--there is not much further down the peninsula, so the road is quiet. The cottage itself was spotless and in excellent condition all around. Everything we needed was there, including kitchen supplies and a clothes washer and dryer. It is 1:15 to Bar Harbor, 40 minutes to Schoodic Point, and 45 minutes to Jonesport/Beals. Closer still are a number of less known (but still beautiful) areas. We biked to the end of Petit Manan point and hiked there in the Wildlife Refuge. Very nice! We highly recommend this cottage.

Perfect Relaxing Experience
Our experience could not have been better, from the moment we booked the property until we had to say goodbye. The house is well stocked lacking nothing, is at an incredible location, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. The location was perfect to utilize adjacent hiking trails, a quick drive to Millbridge for some of the best Mexican food ever at Vasquez Mexican Takeout and any shopping needed. At night we enjoyed the wonderful waterside firepit where we heard the lapping waves and watched the stars appear one by one. It doesn’t get much better than that! Thank you Wanda you were a dream to communicate with, although nothing was needed, we knew you were there should be have. It was hard to leave for both adults and children. We will return!

Blessed to be on the bay
Wow! Have you ever shown up to a home and felt your sense of awe just overwhelm you? This is the place! The evening we arrived my entire family (including 2 teens) bolted out of the car and ran to the bay and permagrins on every one of our faces! Simple, quaint, picturesque, off the grid....... exactly what you appreciate our of a peaceful vacation! We loved it! Loved it ALL! We feel so incredibly blessed to have had this opportunity to stay on the bay in this adorable cottage! It was super clean, cute and had everything we needed! From the initial questions in the booking process through check in and check out we had the greatest VRBO hosts you could imagine! Wanda.....how do you describe her other than the "Siri of Steuben"! She was a wealth of knowledge....like having your own personal travel consultant! We loved our time here, thank you so much for the opportunity to see Maine for the first time in an authentic experience! We are so grateful! The Guernsey Family (Michigan)

Perfect Maine Getaway
Our family of four wanted to get away from the Maryland heat in early July while still keeping our distance from people. This cottage was perfect in many ways. It was the perfect setting, right on a bay with great views of the water and lobster boats. We also spent every evening walking the cobblestone beach looking for sea glass and shells. While the cottage was an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia, which were both packed, we had many great opportunities for hiking by ourselves on the three local trails on the peninsula (Pigeon Hill, Hollingsworth, and Birch) that were a lot of fun. We also drove to various other state parks and trails like Roque Bluff, Reversing Falls, Tidal Falls, and Quoddy Head, all of which were perfect for us. We did spend a few days driving through Acadia but highly recommend going early to catch the sunrise at Thunder Hole. We then hit all of the main attractions in the park by 7am and were out of the park when the traffic started picking up. The Schoodic Peninsula was also a big favorite of ours too. The cottage was the perfect size for us. We had plenty of room to space out if we needed to but also had great spaces to hang out as a family and play games or put puzzles together. The porch with rockers was great for watching the bay and drinking coffee/tea. The kitchen was well stocked for all of the meals we prepared, including a steam pot for the lobsters, mussels, and clams we had a few times. We had a great time watching the local wildlife to be include many types of birds, and a porcupine that frequented the yard to eat the clovers or something along those lines. The kids also enjoyed seeing the Milky Way for the first time ever (thanks to the lack of light pollution) and actually seeing what high/low tide means. Wanda was absolutely wonderful and very responsive to any questions we had before and during the trip. Her recommendations for local seafood markets and take out food was always spot on. We would absolutely recommend this cottage to anyone and consider going back each summer. Thanks for a wonderful time in Down East Maine!

Visit to Maine
We enjoyed the property. It was perfect for the two of us, clean, tidy and in a very nice location. The only improvements we would like to see would be a dishwasher and a king size bed, but washing a dish by hand for a week is fine and you can't complain to much about sleeping a little closer to your spouse.

First Trip to Maine
My wife and I wanted to enjoy the Fall weather and the changing of the leaves. Well, we were blessed on both counts—60 degrees and the most beautiful reds, oranges and yellows filled our view. In addition, this little hideaway was serene and somehow management was able to arrange a welcome party of a porcupine and a doe! Simply beautiful!

Pigeon Hill Bay Cottage
My husband and I stayed here early October. The cottage is private and very relaxing. It is a very clean and well-stocked property. The host is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We hiked around Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula, and visited the very busy town of Bar Harbor. We also got the opportunity to ‘Catch our Dinner’ in Corea. There is so much to do around the area but our favorites were Cadillac Mountain, the lobster boat tour and spending time at the cottage, watching the deer (they love the apple trees😊, also seen a porcupine walk by the porch!) and having a campfire by the water. A little bit of a drive to different destinations which we did not mind because we loved the tranquility of the area. We absolutely loved the cottage!

Quiet side of life on the Maine Coast did not disappoint! Plenty of local trails and sites to take in. Beautiful views over morning coffee or evening beverages!
