About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2bd, 1 bath On Pigeon Hill Bay, fire pit, lawn runs to the beach, air, quiet

FYI, driving distance to Bar Harbor is one hour....55 miles.
Highly recommend purchasing the cancellation insurance upon booking as we have a no refund policy.

Cleaning fee listed is for 1 to 10 nights. If booking more than 10 nights, please inquire for the updated cleaning fee.

The setting is quiet and peaceful.......
the ocean washing along the shore will certainly lull you to sleep and will be the first sound you hear in the morning when you wake. Start your days walking on the rocky shore enjoying the vast views of Pigeon Hill Bay including local lobster fishermen hauling their traps just feet from the cottage. The Petit Manan Lighthouse can be seen in the distance and the fog horn can be heard. In the evening enjoy the fire pit located on the edge of the shore. This is Maine, The Way Life Should Be.....
The cottage offers a main bedroom with a queen bed. The loft accessed by spiral stairs, has four twin beds. The loft also has a window air conditioner for your comfort.

Just minutes from the cottage enjoy a short hike to the top of Pigeon Hill. Once you crest the top, you can see for miles. A perfect spot for a picnic and great photo opportunities! If you prefer bird watching or happening upon a deer or rabbit, a great hike along the Hollinsworth Trail on Petit Manan Point is in order. While there, visit All Souls Chapel.
Services are led by local residents and held on Sundays. (Seasonal)

Save a few hours to enjoy a boat ride to Petit Manan Lighthouse located two miles off shore. Daily boat tours leave from Back Shore Road (Acadia Puffin Tours) which is a 5 minute drive from the cottage.

Bring your kayaks, canoes, paddle boards etc. The bay is a great place to explore. It is tidal which means the tide will go in and out, changing every six hours.

Take a day trip to explore one of the nation's most beloved parks, Acadia National Park, (approximately 1 hour drive).
Acadia at Schoodic Peninsula is a shorter drive, approximately 40 minutes. Both offer hiking trails through the forest or rocky shorelines. Bar Harbor hosts many restaurants and shops; a great place to spend the day.

The neighboring town of Milbridge has several restaurants and other stores to supply you will everything you may need during your stay. We look forward to hearing from you.

Cozy Cottage
My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this little cottage by the sea. We appreciated the private and quiet beachfront setting and the many amenities that the cottage offered. The air-conditioned loft area was the perfect spot for the boys. The cottage was clean and well-maintained. Wanda was a very responsive and helpful host. We were happy to be within an hour of the Bar Harbor/Acadia area and took several day trips to the park, including Schoodic Point. Having a grocery store and good take-out spots only a few minutes away was an added bonus. We were surprised with the wildlife we saw from the cottage: a bald eagle, deer, a rabbit, and “Spike” the porcupine. The puffin cruise 5 minutes down the road was great too. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful spot away from it all!
We had a wonderful time on pigeon road! The house was perfectly appointed and clean and just right for our family of five. It’s right on the water on a cute country lane. Everything about the spot was beautiful and fun. But be prepared to drive an hour to Bar Harbor and the main sites in Acadia. This really is in the middle of “nowhere.” It’s pretty and just right if that’s what you’re after! There are some closer hikes, but we spent most of our time in Acadia/Bar Harbor since we’d never been before and it was a bit of a haul. Wanda is really wonderful. Very communicative, friendly, helpful — and had the house spotless for us upon arrival. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Beautiful stay by the sea
This cottage was very clean and well stocked. It's a simple but roomy cottage with spectacular views and relaxing atmosphere. It's close to Acadia and Bar Harbor yet away from the hustle and bustle. Our kids loved exploring the beach in the mornings at low tide and I enjoyed my morning coffee with the quiet lapping of the waves. The stargazing here is overwhelmingly spectacular

Off the road, yet close to town
The property fronts a the bay. Berms on either side provide a sense of distance from the neighbors. Located 5 miles off the main road, its is quiet and pleasant, yet it is less than 15 miles from a village with a restaurant and multiple take-out options. A marvelous getaway!

Wonderful Spot
We have now stayed in Pigeon Hill 3 times in homes managed by Wanda. Every experience has been excellent. The area is so quiet and peaceful. This is the second time for our family of 6 at this cottage, and it works out perfectly for us--the loft is great for the kids (as long as they are careful on the stairs!) And the beach is right out the door. Such a wonderful spot, a perfect cottage for us. Thanks!
