Cottage in the middle of Acadia with great deck - near trails, town & beaches

Blueberry Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enviably situated right in the middle of Acadia National Park, the darling Blueberry Cottage gives you unbeatable access to renowned hiking trails, beautiful ocean beaches, and the many charms of downtown Bar Harbor.

This cottage is located in the Otter Creek neighborhood of Mount Desert Island, just five miles south of the restaurants, shops, and galleries in Bar Harbor's historic center. But what's truly special here is the proximity to Acadia, with the Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trailhead just over half a mile down the road. Sand Beach, the famous Ocean Path, Jordan Pond, and many other park landmarks are within a few minutes' drive or a scenic bike ride.

This home has been decorated in soft shades of blue both inside and out, in keeping with its name that honors Maine's beloved state fruit. After catching the sunrise atop Cadillac Mountain or spending the day biking the park carriage roads, you can retire to the back deck for fresh seafood seared on the gas grill.

Inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an eat-in breakfast table, a living room with a smart TV, and three bedrooms - including one with a desk workspace where you can log onto the high-speed WiFi.

Very clean, great access
This was a great location and facility for our visit to Acadia. We took a few hikes from front door, and everything else was an easy drive. Very clean, very complete, used the propane grill a couple of times. Excellent!

Cottage outside bar harbor.
The cottage was clean. Was a little musty smelling but got a little better when we opened windows. We did have an issue with ants inside.

Great location, very clean
The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. We didn't spend alot of time there, so not much else to say, but having the trail right behind the house was incredibly convenient.

Great home base for visiting Acadia
We visited Acadia National Park for the first time and stayed here with our two adult children. It was clean and quiet. We especially enjoyed being able to hike to some of the most popular Acadia sites (like Thunder Hole and Beehive Trail) from this place.

Sweet and Simple
The little house sits on a quiet road near a beautiful trail. It was very clean, and a good size and layout for two couples. Nice private backyard with porch and grill, and a good location just a few minutes from Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park.

Great location for hiking… rougher neighborhood.
Pros: Clean, everything we needed to cook in house, comfortable enough beds after long days of hiking and walkable to the coast! Cons: neighborhood and exterior. The grass was almost waist high and the neighborhood is rougher than we expected. Overall, I would have been happier had we expected the rougher neighborhood when we drove in but the cottage itself worked well for our trip!

Convenient location but a few issues
Property is on a relatively unkempt street, but the location in the park and proximity to Bar Harbor was great, very convenient. Unfortunately we had some issues, the evening we checked in, it was very cold and the thermostats were painted over. After several unsatisfactory communications with Vacasa (rental agent), we figured out how to get heat although adjusting the temperature was problematic. The next day, we left the house and took the keys left for us in the kitchen. We locked the door, but when we returned, the keys would not open the door. Called Vacasa who gave us the code to the lock boxes, no go on those keys either. Then they gave us lock box code for back door, but the storm door was locked so we couldn’t enter there either. It took a couple of hours until the property manager (who was very nice) could come and let us in. The batteries in the tv remote were dead, but after some hunting, we found some in the cold, creepy basement. Also, there are no bedside tables at all, which is pretty inconvenient.

A hidden gem
Blueberry cottage was accessible to Acadia and within walking distance of the ocean. We enjoyed coming back to the secluded space after a day of crowds. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Very cozy. Def saving for a future visit!

Perfect cabin for an Acadia park vacation
The cabin was very clean and had an updated bathroom, new appliances, and comfy furniture. Located on a super quiet street near hiking trails and a great launching off point for exploring the rest of the park as well as Bar Harbor. Had everything we needed - would definitely go back!

Heart of Acadia
This little cottage is on an absolutely quiet street which is so convenient to Bar Harbor and the park entrances. A 15 minute walk thru the woods and the Blackwoods campground brings you out on the park loop road near the water. The pillows were a little hard for our particular taste, but the mattresses were nice, as was the shower. It is not fancy, but perfectly adequate as a base for enjoying the park and we would go there again.

Cute little cottage
Cottage is at the end of a quiet street on the border of the park. Very quiet and peaceful, and the house had everything we needed and more! Corner market is nearby but only open seasonally.
