Watch for wildlife, including seals, otters, and a variety of New England sea birds.
Mount Desert Isle offers an endless array of activities for everyone. Some of the things to do in Acadia National Park include: a visit to Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Otter Cliff. A drive up Cadillac Mountain for sunrise or sunset and a bike ride past the The Bubbles and high tea and popovers at Jordon Pond House. Tour the stunning gardens at Asticou or take a boat ride out of Northeast Harbor. Take a Glider or Bi-Plane Ride over the Park out of the Hancock Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton for some great perspective on Mount Desert Isle.
On the ocean and land, visitors and guests can tour Mount Desert Isle on their own, or let experienced Maine guides show them the way. For cyclists, there are 55 miles of carriage trails that lace their way through Acadia National Park. Bike beside crystal clear lakes and spectacular mountains or take a bus or trolley tour.

There are local companies and expert registered Maine Guides that know wildlife and the history of Downeast Acadia offering walking tours of Bar Harbor. Rent a kayak or canoe and tour on your own or better still in the company of Maine Guides and explore Mount Desert Island’s fascinating harbors and coast. Or set sail with one of the professional tour boats from Bar Harbor in search of lighthouses, whales, seals, seabirds or set sail for a day aboard a Schooner.

  a guest from North Andover, MA recommends this vacation rental

  It was wonderful to be back at this perfect coastal New England cottage. It was private, quaint, quiet, cozy, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. The location is equidistant from all of the different areas of Mount Desert Island, and same for the sites in the National Park. The yard at the cottage also has a fire pit, games, is well maintained, and perfect for our dog and paddleboarding on the marsh. We enjoyed wildlife, the changing tides, the sun, moon, stars, and northern lights over the marsh. It is a perfect Wa we staying here. The property managers are responsive and accommodating with their kindness. We hope to continue the tradition and be back soon. Thank you!

  a guest from Washington, DC recommends this vacation rental

  A perfect cottage, location, everything. We loved our stay here! Very clean, classic waterfront cottage. We hiked, kayaked, ate lobster rolls (Thurston's, Archie's), woodfire pizza (Sweet Pea) and blueberry pie (The Crust Station). We had the best late summer weather, and let the cool breezes come in. We loved watching the tides, the gulls, cormorants, herons, ducks, and even a crane from the deck. Coastal Maine Vacations provides an excellent property management service. It was great to have a washer and dryer on hand. The bed was not the best but everything else makes up for this. We would not hesitate to return.

  We had a great time here. It was very clean and went above and beyond our expectations. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the tide go in and out. In the first morning we sat on the deck to watch the birds and a deer came out of the woods , from across the lake It was a wonderful place, like going to visit Grabdna. You feel right at home.

  Wonderfully cozy getaway on the water! Hear looons, watch the tides come in, and sit a spell on the deck while the sun sets. Well-appointed, too! And no one can complain about just locking the doors as you leave—we would definitely return!

  Noonie’s Nest was the perfect spot for our Maine vacation. The home was clean, cozy and looked out on Goose Marsh Pond, where our boys played and swam every day. The location was convenient to hikes and Bar Harbor.
  Also, the owner provided everything we needed for our stay. We’re already planning our return trip!

  Cottage was perfect for our family of four. Great outdoor space, comfortable living area/bedrooms and functional kitchen. Enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck looking out at the water. Easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but away from the crowds. Carpeted bathroom only thing that was questionable!

  a guest from Wells, ME recommends this vacation rental

  This was perfect. The two bedrooms were good sized, the kitchen had everything for cooking real meals, the linens were top quality. The view is a saltwater tidal pond that has seagulls, ducks, and various water birds & an eagle. We brought two kayaks and paddled out thru the narrows to the ocean. The deck was big and had a picnic table and BBQ nearby. The grounds were well-kept, lawn cut low, easy walking around. The shore by the pond is peatmoss, so a little hard to walk on, spongy. The house has a/c in living rm window and floor fans in every room, very good. Refrigerator large with freezer, small microwave and plenty of dishes, pots, pans, containers & bowls. We loved it, easy access to Acadia, 30 minutes at best. We were missing a hairdryer, we called the owner and she brought us one immediately. Furniture very comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend.
