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.
