OUTDOOR AREAS Make use of the gas grill and host a cookout on the deck. Dine alfresco in the fresh sea air at the picnic table. Enjoy swimming and kayaking right from your property at high tide -- from your own private beach! (Please note that the waterfront is tidal, which means the water level will vary throughout the day.) A firepit is available in summer months for roasting s’mores.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS Guest amenities include beach chairs, complimentary Wi-Fi, a DVD player, washer/dryer, and driveway parking for two cars. This rental does not have air-conditioning or a dishwasher.

THE LOCATION Beautifully situated on a quiet inlet just 10 miles west of the Hulls Cove Visitors Center at Acadia National Park, this cottage is ideal for exploring Maine’s natural landscape. Enjoy waterfront activities on the Narrows and at various lakes across the island. Or hike on a myriad of trails in the park. Drive 13.5 miles to discover a plethora of dining and shopping options in downtown Bar Harbor. Soak up the sun on Sand Beach (20 miles). Watch for wildlife, including seals, otters, and a variety of New England sea birds.
Mount Desert Isle offers an endless array of activities for everyone. Some of the things to do in Acadia National Park include: a visit to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Otter Cliff. A drive up Cadillac Mountain for sunrise or sunset and a bike ride past the The Bubbles and high tea and popovers at Jordon Pond House. Tour the stunning gardens at Asticou or take a boat ride out of Northeast Harbor. Take a Glider or Bi-Plane Ride over the Park out of the Hancock Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton for some great perspective on Mount Desert Isle.
On the ocean and land, visitors and guests can tour Mount Desert Isle on their own, or let experienced Maine guides show them the way. For cyclists, there are 55 miles of carriage trails that lace their way through Acadia National Park. Bike beside crystal clear lakes and spectacular mountains or take a bus or trolley tour.

There are local companies and expert registered Maine Guides that know wildlife and the history of Downeast Acadia offering walking tours of Bar Harbor. Rent a kayak or canoe and tour on your own or better still in the company of Maine Guides and explore Mount Desert Island’s fascinating harbors and coast. Or set sail with one of the professional tour boats from Bar Harbor in search of lighthouses, whales, seals, seabirds or set sail for a day aboard a Schooner.

Great vacation spot

The property is absolutely beautiful. The cottage sits right on the inlet and in August you could watch the sun set over the inlet. The place was clean and well supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Great Getaway

Fantastic spot. SUPER clean cottage. It’s not fancy but it’s got everything you need and management was very attentive. We brought flip flops for the bathroom (carpet) and I wish the double bed was a little bigger, but otherwise great home. Very quiet and private. Perfect for stargazing.

Secluded property with great view

Property was very clean, amazing views and lots of wildlife to watch. Property manager was very communicative and property was well stocked. A little further out from bar harbor and Acadia that we normally stay but view was well worth it.

Quintessential Maine Cottage

This perfect cottage lays on a quiet cove/ pond in a peaceful section of the busy Mount Desert. Mornings and evenings we sat out on the deck with our dogs and watched the ducks and gulls and even a Bald Eagle. I would rebook in a heartbeat- this is Maine with all the character and personality and peaceful surroundings.that we love so much. Also the house was spotless and had everything we needed to cook delicious dinners.

Perfect return visit

The beauty of Mount Desert Islans goes without saying. The cottage itself is absolutely perfect. It is private, quiet, stocked with everything we need, and has the traditional coastal charm. The yard is awesome with the fire pit, space to play and for our dog to run, and well maintained. We enjoyed paddleboarding on the marsh, views of the moon, stars, and northern lights, and all of the wildlife as the tides changed. It was our second time staying, and I hope that we can continue the tradition. The house is cozy and feels like home, and is pretty much equidistant from all of the different areas of the island and sites in the National park. It is always a peace of Heaven when we stay.

It’s like spending a week with grandma!

What a wonderful experience! Very clean and a lot of nice little touches. On our first day we were enjoying the deck, it was sooo peaceful. Lots of birds and across the cove was a deer. Almost like they placed her there so we felt welcomed. It very picturesque. It was fun watching the tide and picking up clam shells, the ones that we didn’t have fun watching the seagulls break. We just really enjoyed it.

Woke up every morning to the beautiful sites and sounds surrounding the cottage. Perfect location for our tour of Acadia. One kind comment: consider tile in the bathroom instead of carpet.

typical Maine cottage

This Maine cottage has everything you need for a quiet stay on the Southwest Harbor side of Acadia National park - only 15 minutes away. Kitchen is well equipped. Cove that it is on is quiet. Would definitely come back again.

Perfect place for our first visit to Maine!

Noonie's Nest was exactly what we were looking for and expected: - Location on the quiet side of the island, but easy drive to everything - Comfortable cottage and quiet to relax after hiking - Great view of water and birds - Great amenities, including reading lamps and USB outlets (on lamps in bedrooms). Will recommend to others! Thank you.

Peaceful getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful spot. We saw a seal, bald eagles, ducks, and other birds from the deck. The house was clean & comfortable & had everything we needed. It was great to be so close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, as well as Northeast Harbor & Southwest Harbor. We ate lots of lobster! Loved having mountains & waters everywhere! It was beautiful!

We didn't want to leave!

If there is a more perfect setting, I don’t know what it is. Although it rained during most of our stay, we did get out to see some sights. It was always good to come "home" to the beautiful view, fascinating birds, and serene location. The house was well equipped, and very comfortable. It was convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor I highly recommend!

Loved the Location

Beautiful & private location on the edge of an inlet. Views of the water awesome from the large deck. Property had everything we needed. The drive to & from the park was easy & it was nice to be on the less crowded side of the island. Only negative comment was that the double bed is starting to get a bit soft, thought it didn't bother us much. Would definitely rent it gain.

Beautiful peaceful location

Wonderful stay-beautiful views! Very clean, easy check-in. Adorable place. Kitchen was well-equipped. Nice outdoor space with deck, fire pit, and cornhole bean bag game. Lots of books on Acadia to read, which was great since I didn’t complete my planning! Location was convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I posted a few pictures of the water from the back deck on social media-friends and family asked me where I was because it was so beautiful.
