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

This beautiful 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 queen and 2 double beds. The private deck off the master bedroom boast panoramic views of Somes Sound and the surrounding mountains.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Bar Harbor, Maine

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

Other Activities: whale watches

A magical place

Cee Jane Arlington, MA, USA
Review Submitted: May 9, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2008
We found this rental over 10 years ago and have been coming ever since. It is a perfect get away for couples, families, anyone who loves the out-of-doors. Near hiking, biking, swimming and more. It is very convenient to Southwest Harbor village, Bar Harbor, and of course Acadia.

The house is wonderful. Rustic and comfortable, it has a great history and a breathtaking view. The loons, deer, and birds are always showing up to amuse us.

The owners, the Ashmore's, are great folks and are always available.

It is our favorite place to go -- quiet, beautiful, magical -- with plenty of things to do, places to explore, and time for R and R.

Amazing Views, Perfect Vacation Rental...

Celtic Crew Saco, Maine
Review Submitted: May 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
We have been coming to Heavenly Days for 3 years now...we actually already booked 2 weeks for next year 2010 because we LOVE this rental property so much! The house is very well equipped, the view is incredible, and the hot tub on the deck is perfect after a long day of hiking. The house is in a fabulous central location...Bar Harbor/Mt Desert Island is full of amazing restaurants, shops, and outdoor activities. This is one of our favorites places in the world....Heavenly Days is our home away from home every June for our annual family vacation....we just can't get enough!!
