About this property

Cottage with a Vista

  • Charming, cozy, newly-renovated cottage with beautiful vistas. Less than an hour to Acadia National Park and just a few minute walk to the lovely Morgan Bay.

    The cottage is elegant as well as rustic. A rare combination of nature, comfort and class. The cottage is located on an old Maine farm. A unique performing arts center is located a few hundred feet away. A lovely meditation center is also just a few minutes walk down the road.

    There is a piano in cottage for anyone who wants to explore expressing themselves in music.

    This apartment is located in a spacious, newly-renovated Maine barn on a beautiful and historic farm. It is a five minute walk to nearby scenic Morgan Bay, very close to hiking trails, biking and swimming. Acadia National Park is about 45 minutes away.

    The farm offers a seasonal performing arts center featuring classical, jazz, singer songwriter and blues series among others.

    Few rental spaces offer all of this in a ten-minute radius.

    Pets: Dogs and cats are welcome, but you must contact me in advance so we can discuss details. Upon approval, there is an additional cleaning fee of $50.00 for the one pet or $80 for two pets. The fee for the first pet is included in your VRBO total. If bringing more than one pet, the additional pet fee is payable in cash at checkout. Stays longer than 7 days will need to discuss possible additional pet cleaning fees with the host. Please note that many animals live near the property and frequently walk through it (such as deer, wild turkeys, neighbors' cats, etc.) A porcupine lives under one of the barns, so we recommend keeping dogs on a leash when outside to avoid injury.

    Late arrivals after 9:00 PM are subject to a late fee of $25.00.

    Additional guests: For more than 2 guests, there is an additional fee of $25 per guest per night.

Great Little Cottage

This was the perfect cozy cottage for a stay before heading to Acadia. It was clean, well-stocked, and had charming decor. The host was very kind and welcoming. The cottage is situated on a beautiful, quiet property with a view of Cadillac Mountain in the distance.

Stillness in Surry

My husband and I found the cottage very comfortable and the location ideal for us. Peaceful and serene views all around. Close proximity to our friends in East Blue Hill. Made a trip to Acadia and Deer Isle. Very satisfying. Thank you to our host Alan for making it so easy for us to relax.

Cute, cozy cabin. Perfect for the two of us. Lovely property, and from the back deck we could watch the sunrise and see Cadillac Mountain in the distance. Under an hours drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia, about 15 mins to Ellsworth. Lots of cool places to check out in the area.

Perfect getaway

We had a such wonderful time staying here! The cottage had a gorgeous view and had everything we needed (including kitchen with hotplate for cooking). It's in such a quiet, tranquil area with short access to local hikes or a 45 minute drive to key attractions in Acadia. Alan was also a great host and gave us tips on local attractions. We would love to come back in the future when they have live music!

Cozy cottage in beautiful surroundings

We enjoyed our stay in Alan’s cozy cottage. It is beautiful. It had such a comfortable bed (the bed should have its own five star rating!). The kitchen was well equipped with essentials for us such as coffee maker, filters, mugs, plates, microwave, and more. It was a great place to come back to after days of exploring Acadia National Park and the surrounding area. Alan is a very responsive host and we enjoyed meeting him.
