A Bit of the Story Once part of a historic coastal hotel, Cornerstone Cottage is a 100+ year-old retreat where charm and character still linger in every detail. The original wood floors and ocean air drifting through open windows reflect a slower way of life along the Maine coast. While there is no air conditioning, the cottage sits beneath a canopy of shade, with fans placed throughout to keep the space comfortable and breezy—just as a true Maine cottage should be. In cooler months, the wood stove brings warmth and a natural gathering place, making the cottage an inviting stay year-round.
Shore Access Shore stairs are available seasonally and are secured Thanksgiving through early April due to winter conditions.
Location: -Walking distance to Lamoine Beach and Lamoine State Park -Short drive to Acadia National Park~20 min -easy access to Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor -15 minutes to Ellsworth -Gateway to Acadia Welcome Center: 8 miles Perfectly positioned to explore all areas of Acadia while returning to a quieter coastal setting.
Nature & Setting Cornerstone Cottage is surrounded by Maine’s natural landscape. Wildlife sightings may include deer, seals, and eagles. As with any coastal setting, occasional insects are part of the environment. The home is treated regularly, and every effort is made to ensure a comfortable stay.
