Peaceful Cottage with Ocean Access

If peace and quiet in your own home are what you desire, Cranberry View is the perfect retreat to bring the family and escape it all. Nestled by the shore of Western Way, the house offers the visitor plenty of privacy and access to the ocean's edge, surrounded by spectacular scenery. There is easy access to every activity Acadia has to offer, even free public transportation, in season, right from the end of the driveway. Easy convenience to the park, shopping, free public transportation in season, and all the other activities here on Mt Desert Island. About two hundred yards from the coastline. Delightful character with a large yard and gardens surrounding. Wander down to the water's edge, or enjoy nature from the ample yard, listening to the endless chatter among the birds and the sounds of the nearby ocean. A great place for kids and adults to explore all that Mount Desert and Acadia National Park have to offer.

Great Place for a Getaway

We had a great July 4th holiday weekend in Acadia. This was the perfect place to stay in a quiet wooded area and close to everything the island has to offer. The Southwest Harbor fireworks were a highlight of the trip!

Lovely house and lovely location!

We loved staying at this cottage! It was conveniently located to many great hiking spots and felt secluded enough out in the woods. Just a short walk from a very nice secluded rocky beach as well. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a great retreat out to Acadia!

Loved being on the quiet side of the island. Our kids loved looking for crabs and shells at the private beach and wonderland. Access to adventure was excellent. Roasted marshmallows and enjoyed watching the wild life from the big living room windows. Highly recommend!

A very comfortable and cozy cottage! The directions to the place and how to get into the building were easily understandable. There was a very thorough list of food and activity recs. The rooms and beds were comfy. Got to see lots of deer and turkeys! I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay sort of near to Acadia without being around the crowds.

Beautiful Oasis

The Cranberry Cottage was wonderful. My parnter and our 4 year old child loved our stay. Great location to many fun adventures around the Bar Harbor area, but also perfectly tucked away in its own little neck of the woods. The home was very welcoming and had everything we needed to enjoy our family getaway.

Very nice place to stay and had a peaceful/quiet setting. Anne, the host, very helpful with information locally and on hikes, which our family really enjoyed. We also really enjoyed finding sand dollars along the coast, only a short walk from the property. We had a wonderful vacation!

Acadia Home Base

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Anne was very quick to respond to any of our queries. We used the Cranberry Cottage as a home base while we explored Acadia. The location was perfect for us, and the cottage has a book with useful information on the area. We would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Great location to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor

Great location and nice property. Awesome communication with owner. Property would be enhanced with some minor improvements - another mirror outside the single bathroom and better lighting in bedroom. Regardless, happy to recommend this idyllic spot.
