About this property

A Little Bit of Paradise on the Maine Coast

Welcome to Coveside Cottage, a little bit of paradise on the Maine coast. Offering incredible views of Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert Island and several other islands, Coveside Cottage is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the real world.
Wake to the sound of loons, lobster boats, bell buoys, and the gentle lapping of waves. Play some croquet on the spacious front lawn, relax on the front porch, or around the firepit at the water's edge.
History abounds on Ferry Rd. in Hancock - it was once a bustling hub for people going to and from Bar Harbor, with a railroad, a grand hotel, and ferry service to Bar Harbor.
Sorry, no pets....

Great location
The cottage has a great view and we enjoyed watching the wildlife from the front porch. The neighborhood is very peaceful. It is a great home base for visiting all that the area has to offer.

Magnificent view!
If you are looking for a stunning view, peaceful and quiet neighborhood, cleanliness, excellent communication, and a cozy cottage, then look no further; this is the place for you! Easy to find! And, oh my goodness, did I mention the view? This cottage comes fully stocked with all the kitchen items needed. We were in the area 4 days and traveled to various parts of Acadia very easily. One more time….. that view!!

Spectacular
3rd time staying at Sue's property. Clean, comfortable, all amenities one could want, amazing views of Mount Desert Island, seals, eagles, etc. Worth the price. Will stay again next year.

Amazing views and cozy cabin
My best friend and I stayed here on a girls trip. The cabin is super clean and stocked with everything you need, including tips on what to do in the area. The owner was proactive about helpful advice about crowds in nearby Bar Harbor and quick to respond through the whole booking process. And the view is the BEST! Even if the other things were not true, it would be worth it for the view. Thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven!

Loved the cabin!
The cabin was very clean and well-furnished, and everything was just as advertised. Sue was very kind and attentive and quick to respond to questions. We had a wonderful week. The view is amazing. We saw seals swimming in the harbor most days. We were not familiar with the area & were a little concerned about the drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but the drive was not bad at all. Plus there are several nice restaurants not far from the cabin, and you can get everything you need at Ellsworth, so there are amenities close to the cabin. The week we were there, Bar Harbor & Acadia were packed with people—way too many people and hardly any parking spaces. We were relieved that we weren’t staying in the middle of that. The cabin proved to be a great choice for us. We would stay there again if we ever go back to Acadia.
