Perched just feet from the waters of Blue Hill Bay on the quietside of Mt. Desert Island, our cottage will provide the respite you're looking for. Whether you spend your days on the deck reading a book and gazing out on the water, or come home to watch the sunset after a day of island exploring, you can't help but feel restored.
Located on a wooded site with a sweeping southwest view across Blue Hill Bay, nature abounds on both land and sea. The deck and ledge below, provide ideal vantage points to watch the resident loons fishing, seals frolicking, mink scurrying along the water's edge, and eagles soaring.
Originally built by the Rich brothers as their fishing shack, the Lyford family added to the original structure over their 90 year ownership. The cottage retains it's rustic character with white-washed exposed structure throughout, living room with fireplace and cathedral ceiling, sleeping loft, and windows looking out to the ocean from every room.
The cottage has a very well equipped kitchen, large living room with TV, DVR, & radio, and a dining room, with a water view from which it is hard to look away. Outside, the deck overlooking the water, is perfectly situated for soaking in the sun's rays during the day, and celebrating the setting of the sun at day's end.
The cottage is filled with books, and has plenty of games, for rainy days, or when you don't feel like leaving this little corner of paradise.
