Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation cottage rental
3 bedrooms, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 6

Heavenly Days Cottage, overlooking Somes Sound, was featured on 'Around the World in 80 Homes' on The Fine Living Channel in October, 2004. It was built in 1895 and completely renovated in 1995 with special attention to restoring all its original details, including woodwork, hardwood floors, turn of the century slate sink, etc.

The cottage is decorated with beautiful yet durable antiques. Comfortable and casual, it's like taking a step back in time to yesteryear in coastal down east Maine! On the first floor, you'll find the kitchen with various collections of antique kitchenware, an antique Hoosier, butcher-block counter top as well as all the modern comforts of home. The dining room provides seating for 6-8 and the living room offers great views of the Sound and access to the covered wrap-around porch. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms with 1 king and 2 double beds. The deck off the master bedroom boasts panoramic views of Somes Sound and the surrounding mountains

Sit in the hot tub on the covered porch and watch the sailboats and lobster boats float by. You may even see lobstermen hauling their traps right in front of the cottage while you drink your morning coffee.

Heavenly Days Cottage is tucked at the end of a private road with only 3 other cottages in sight. With sloping lawn to the water's edge, the cottage is situated approximately 250ft from the shore of beautiful Somes Sound, the only natural fjord on the east coast. Extensive granite stonework, including a patio, rock walls, granite steps and pathways, complement the dramatic changes in landscape from mountain to ocean. A fire pit (firewood provided)near the shore is just one more way to enjoy all this cottage has to offer. Located on the 'quiet side' of Mount Desert Island, the cottage is still within minutes of all that the island has to offer.

Adorable Cottage!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 5, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This 1895 cottage on waterfront, with the most spectacular views of Somes Sound, was a highlight of our first visit to Mount Desert Island. Decorated with period antiques - it was like stepping back in time yet with all the comforts of modern technology - full working kitchen, gas grill, washer/dryer and great hot tub. Great cottage for all ages (We had 5 in our group - parents, two daughters & grandmother.). We enjoyed the fire pit at nights and watching the fireflies and blanket of stars. Our best spot was the back porch where we sat mornings with our coffee and nights with wine. Memorable to watch lobstermen pull in their lobster traps...and boats float by. Wonderful location - easy access to other areas of the island. It was nice to be on the "quiet side" of the island. Owner great and manager very accessible via phone and email. We plan to return!

Lovely historic home with many antiques. Comfortable and clean . Very quiet at this time of year. We got to use the fire pit and the hot tub so that was nice.
Would not recommend it for a family with young children as there are many breakables.
Overall - a beautiful setting and a helpful owner.
Owner's Response: We are so pleased that our guests enjoyed their stay at "Heavenly Days" Cottage, and that they took full advantage of its amenities! Remember, we love familiar faces and offer a discount to our returning guests!

We did want to point out that our cottage is well suited for a variety of guests, including children. Honeymooners, groups of friends, retired couples, and many, many families with children, both young and grown, have enjoyed our cottage over the years. In fact, we have several families with small children that return every year for their family vacations. We consider our cottage to be "kid-friendly" and offer a Pack 'n Play and high chair for added convenience. Although many of the decorations are antiques, they are not high value, are commonly found and easily replaced. We do not feel that there are any more "breakables" than the typical home, and have not had any issues with things being broken. We get feedback all the time about how charming and interesting the antiques are. So, don't worry about the antiques....come and enjoy them, that's what they're there for!

"We love, love, love this cottage - what a perfect place! It was just right for our family. We felt like we stepped back in time a bit to when life moved at a slower pace. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. If we ever get back to Acadia, we hope Heavenly Days is waiting for us.

Taken from cottage "How Was Your Vacation?" feedback sheet: "We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Maine and stay at your cottage. Wonderful location and access to Acadia National Park. We found the cottage clean, well-stocked kitchen tools and plenty of towels. Hot tub and fire pit were both well used by all! Lovely to find such a clean rental cottage in a house of this age. Had just about everything we needed, even on a rainy day. Would be happy to recommend this rental cottage and send you some digital pictures. Thank you also for taking the time to email us places to go, etc.
