Wonderful views of Somes Sound and Sargent Mountain

The double sliding glass doors in the great room allow the feeling of bringing the outside in. Nestled in the pines, this setting offers the peace and quiet of being away from it all, yet it is just a half mile from Rt. 102. Relax and enjoy your natural surroundings, as you see the deer pass by or the sound of the birds on the Sound. As you enter the cottage, you will be impressed with the finely appointed upgrades made by the new owners. The first floor contains a master with a comfortable queen size bed, adjacent to a full bath, a second bedroom with two twin size beds, and a laundry. Climb the stairs to the loft bedroom with one twin bed that overlooks the cathedral ceiling and the great room. A step up from the loft, you will find a third private bedroom with two twin beds and half bath. The tastefully furnished great room provides
adequate seating for guests to converse, read, watch a movie or to relax in front of the fire place, after a day on the trails. Outdoor living is max from Hyland Cottage, conveniently located across from swimming and kayaking on Echo Lake, or climbing the trails of Beech and Acadia Mountains, nearby. With Cadillac Mountain and the surrounding carriage trails just minutes away, you will have easy access to hiking, biking and experiencing the magnitude of Acadia. Enjoy fine dining in nearby Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor, or delight in the experience of a casual lobster feast! Because words cannot describe the beauty that surrounds Hall Quarry, we urge you to come and experience Acadia National Park and its breathtaking sights, for yourself! (Turnover day is Saturday)

Beautiful property & the deck was our favorite!!! Very spacious, comfy chairs, beautiful view! There were only 2 of us on this stay but there would be plenty of room for a larger group, and the kitchen was very well stocked for plenty of cooking. We loved being close to Acadia for all the hiking we wanted to do but far from the crowds of Bar Harbor. And Carl was a gracious host with timely & friendly communication. All in all, just a delightful experience!

Gorgeous and quiet cottage on "the quiet side"

We loved everything about Hyland cottage -- it was rustic, charming, clean, with a lovely deck and view. Location for us was perfect -- away from the crowds but close enough to everything we wanted. Communication with host went smoothly. We hope to return!

Perfect Acadia Getaway

Everything about our stay was perfect. Check in was easy. The cottage is adorable, clean, and clearly well-maintained. The views were amazing and the solitude was so relaxing. We had everything we needed for a wonderful getaway to Acadia. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed on VRBO. We would definitely try to stay here again if in the area.

Great location for visiting Acadia National Park

We found the location to be very convenient, yet it was very quiet. The view of the sound was nice. We enjoyed watching the deer in the neighboring woods, and the stars were amazing! Excellent host. No problems at all with communication. We would definitely stay here again, and hope to return.

Cabin in the woods with a view

Four over fifty crowd stayed in the cabin/cottage. A really lovely setting with a view of the water, a large deck outside, very quiet! The place was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and even spices. Nice open feel very cute decor. The place is close to many options to eat and enjoy. Highly recommend.

Perfect Cabin Close to it All

This cabin surpassed our expectations. It is so clean and so cozy. We were able to make our breakfast in a kitchen that had everything we needed. Then we took off to hike and explore a different part of Acadia each day. We loved our time on the porch and gathered in the living space. It easily fit the five adults. What a beautiful place!

Can’t recommend more highly!

There were no disappointments at Hyland Cottage. The place was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, and you can’t beat the location. It was situated in the woods, off of the busy road and on a part of the island that was less crowded. Being close to Echo Lake was perfect for families with the beach and swimming easily accessible. We enjoyed hiking Acadia mountain and jumping in the lake from Echo ledges. A big thanks to Carl for being responsive and giving some local food and recreational recommendations!

Nice property

The property was as described. It was clean, linens smelled freshly washed, and the kitchen was fully stocked. The location was perfect for us (family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers) on a quiet road surrounded by woods. There was a view of the Sound. There are many trails nearby, but I would not recommend walking on the roads around the property (no shoulders, cars speeding by). It is a short drive to all of the attractions and the park. We would definitely stay here again.

Somes Sweet Sound

A quaint cottage with everything anyone could need while away not to mention very aesthetically pleasing. The house was all we needed and more. It was the cleanest rental - just spotless - cleanest one we have been in and I say that as experienced short term renters who have stayed in many diff places. Carl was such a joy to communicate with and always available when needed. Don't hesitate to book this gem for your trip to Acadia!

If we could we would give it a 10!

6, 55+ women arrived to do some serious hiking. Check- mission accomplished! The place is so incredibly charming and has a well stocked kitchen. A great indoor fireplace and plenty of chairs inside and out. Great full kitchen table for meals and games. Location is away from busy Bar Harbor. Plenty of beds and not having to share a bed was great. Washer and dryer to use for after hiking trips was a bounce. Only thing i would improve on was some updated pillows. The place was just lovely!! We will be back for sure!
