Photos and Description of the Bar Harbor vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, spacious loft,1 bathroom, sleeps six, cathedral ceiling, deck,view

Get away from it all in this quiet mountaintop cottage with magnificent views and spectacular sunsets across Blue Hill Bay. Completely furnished cozy 2-bedroom /1-bath cottage sleeps six and has an additional spacious loft, full kitchen with all the necessities, cathedral ceilings, deck, view and lovely field stone fireplace. Only minutes to downtown Bar Harbor and beautiful Eagle Lake. And just outside your door – breathtaking Acadia National Park.

Other conveniences include a laundry room just steps outside the door, weekly cleaning service, and located on a private road with no through traffic. Within walking distance; the Island Explorer shuttle route. We're also pet friendly.Note: The cottage is located on a sloping back yard from the deck which allows for access to the fire pit, blueberry picking, hiking, and incredible, relaxing sunset views.

Sunset Point Cottage: Sunset Point, which enjoys the highest cottage views in Acadia, is a winterized cottage that is comfortable from April through November. There's electric heat in every room, plus a working fireplace. Start the day with a leisurely breakfast with blueberries picked just outside the cottage. Then, after a busy schedule of sightseeing, climbing, biking, sea kayaking, whale watching, or swimming, we recommend a quiet hike to secluded Aunt Betty's Pond followed by a sunset cookout.

In full summer season, as well as in Spring and Fall (May & June/September & October) Bar Harbor and the towns on Mount Desert Island offer a wide variety of experiences -- festivals, art shows, competitions, great food, and more. Eat in at the cottage or go out for family and gourmet dining in Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor.

Driving Directions to Sunset Point: Driving Directions to Sunset Point cottage: available upon receipt of full deposit(see map).

Suggested stop for ME commuter: 'The Governor's' family style restaurant off ME Turnpike: Maine Mall Exit(Portland), is an easy/affordable stop for breakfast or lunch. Bring your appetite.

Acadia National Park: Acadia National park and Mount Desert Island offer such a wide variety of activities for all ages that it is difficult to summarize. We recommend that you visit the park website, the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center in Trenton, or the visitors center in Acadia Park for more details. See also our extra page for suggested activities.

Simply the best

My wife and I were lucky enough to stay at Sunset Point for part of our honeymoon. We stayed a week and enjoyed every second. The views and the relaxing ambience were just what we expected. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. We decided to sleep in the living room and not one of the two bedrooms. We wanted to take full advantage of the fireplace and views of the mountain (very romantic setting).The drive to downtown was quick and the beautiful scenes of nearby hikes, bike rides and canoe trips were just a few minutes away. We took advantage of the fresh lobster delivery offered and had our very first taste of fresh Maine lobster in the comforts of the cottage(reasonably priced). Terri and Joe were great with everything. We truly had a great time. One thing to watch out for when driving to the cottage for the first time is to remember to drive all the way to the top of the mt. The first cottage on the left is not sunset pt. (woops) We can't wait to go back and enjoy more of sunset point cottage! Make sure to take advantage of the books in the cottage showing all the activities available. We really enjoyed the nearby hikes. Thanks again Terri and Joe!

quiet and relaxing getaway

This was a perfect quiet and contemplative getaway spot. Close to hiking trails and the park, it provided a perfect respite from the bustle of the main towns on the Island, while being close enough to several for entertainment when desired. Lovely sunsets and quiet mornings, comfortable rooms and homey atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our stay at sunset cottage. It was quiet and relaxing...a great get away for our family. It was a bit smaller than we anticipated (especially the loft area) but my daughters adjusted and we had a great time. ...could use some more seating in the living room area.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your suggestion. We have added one additional seat to the den area!

Great base for exploring MDI

The cozy cabin was a great base for our family of 5 vacation (ages 4, 10, 13) to explore Acadia and MDI. The kids loved the sleeping loft and the adults loved the deck, a perfect location to enjoy a local brew and the sunset after a day of biking, hiking, etc. As advertised, the cottage is centrally located and close to Bar Harbor and the park, as well as convenient to 198 and 102 for exploring the west side of the island. The only noise at night was a coyote in the distance. The owners were very helpful and responsive to questions. I would recommend Sunset Point to friends and family. Note to parents with young children - there is a shower but no tub. Our 4 year old learned to shower on this trip.

We rented this cabin last June for a family vacation. The setting was lovely and quiet and the cabin was clean and cozy. It was perfect for our family of five--my kids were aged 13, 10, and 8 at the time. It was the in an excellent location for exploring the park and Bar Harbor--we would definitely visit again!

Great place - would go again! Quiet, secluded location, but only minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. Cottage was cozy, clean, and was stocked with all the necessary kitchen utensils, etc. Really enjoyed sitting on deck, taking in the expansive view after a long day of hiking. Renters were professional and helpful.
