Unwind in cozy and serene surroundings while enjoying numerous creature comforts. Goose Cove Cottage is a newly renovated and beautifully decorated cape loaded with amenities near Bar Harbor, Maine and Acadia National Park - tucked away on a tranquil wooded lot, yet a short distance to any desired location both on and off Mount Desert Island. Choose from an abundance of exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining activities during the day. Then, relax and rejuvenate later in peace and quiet. Watch a movie or your favorite sporting event on a 50-inch plasma TV, read a book, play a game, surf the net, or sit on the deck and chat with a cold drink in hand.
You will appreciate being close to the Chamber of Commerce's Bar Harbor Area Information & Acadia Welcome Center, lobster pounds, gas stations, grocery store, restaurants, Bar Harbor Airport, etc. This is a great starting point to easily access any location on Mount Desert Island, the commercial center of Ellsworth, or Schoodic Peninsula.
Your beautiful Acadia vacation retreat has three bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom on the second floor has a king size bed. Across the hall is the guest room with a queen size bed. On the first floor is the third bedroom, also with a king size bed. Each bedroom is equipped with an LCD television and DVD player. There are two full bathrooms, one on each floor.
There are several scenic towns and villages you will want to see while visiting Mt Desert Island. Downtown Bar Harbor is only approximately 10 miles from the cottage. Somesville is situated at the head of Somes Sound,
a fjord-like embayment 5 miles long, and is a 15-minute drive. It
takes about 20 minutes to reach Northeast Harbor, an affluent yachting
community known for its beautiful homes and the Asticou
Azalea Gardens. From there you can board a ferry* to the scenic
Cranberry Isles. Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor are on what is
considered the “quiet” side of the Island. In 20 to 25
minutes you can be visiting these quaint fishing villages, exploring Bass
Harbor Lighthouse, or taking the ferry* to Swan's Island. *(Be
sure to check schedules and fares in advance.)
Acadia
National Park is known for its raw beauty and panoramic views along
the Park Loop Road,
also known as “Ocean Drive,” that takes you to well-known
sights such as Sand Beach, Thunder
Hole, Otter Cliff,
and Cadillac Mountain where
you can be one of the first in the continental United States to view
the sunrise over the Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Maine. If you like
hiking or scenic walks, take time to discover the famous Carriage
Roads that weave through the Park. There are also over 120 miles
of hiking trails for
your enjoyment or take a walk along the shoreline.
