Carpenter’s Quarters was owned by a well known beloved Carpenter in Seal Harbor for many decades. After his passing almost all wooden aspects of the home are still original pieces handcrafted by the original owner over his lifetime. The home embodies a classic Maine feel -- sit at the front porch and hear the silence & calming water from the Stanley Brook

Tucked away on the western side of Mount Desert Island, Seal Cove is a peaceful and secluded village known for its pristine natural beauty, rocky shoreline, and tranquil atmosphere. Unlike the busier towns on the island, Seal Cove offers a retreat into nature, making it an ideal spot for those seeking solitude and outdoor adventure.
The area is best known for the Seal Cove Auto Museum, which showcases a remarkable collection of early 20th-century automobiles, offering a glimpse into the golden age of motoring. Beyond the museum, visitors can explore nearby hiking trails, kayaking routes, and quiet coves perfect for wildlife watching.
Seal Cove also provides easy access to lesser-traveled areas of Acadia National Park, including Seal Cove Pond and the western mountain trails, which offer breathtaking views without the crowds. Its calm waters, dense forests, and unspoiled coastline make it a haven for photographers, birdwatchers, and nature enthusiasts alike.

About the area
Mt. Desert Island, located off the coast of Maine, is a picturesque and diverse destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and quaint coastal charm. As the largest island off the coast of Maine, it's most famously known as the home of Acadia National Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and one of the most visited national parks in the United States.
The park itself is a treasure trove of biodiversity and scenic vistas, with a landscape that includes mountains, woodlands, lakes, and an ocean shoreline. Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the U.S. East Coast, provides breathtaking panoramic views, especially at sunrise. The park's 158 miles of hiking trails cater to all levels of experience, from the leisurely Ocean Path to the more challenging Precipice Trail.
For those who prefer to explore by car, the 27-mile Park Loop Road offers stunning coastal scenery and access to key landmarks, including Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and Jordan Pond. The carriage roads, a network of well-maintained trails, are perfect for biking, horseback riding, and winter sports like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The island's maritime culture is rich and ever-present, with charming harbor towns like Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Southwest Harbor. These communities offer a glimpse into the island's history and culture, with local museums, art galleries, and shops that showcase the work of Maine artisans. The local cuisine is a highlight, with fresh seafood being a staple—lobster, clams, and fish are served up in a variety of ways, from casual lobster shacks to fine dining establishments.
For those interested in marine life, boat tours provide opportunities to see seals, porpoises, and, during certain times of the year, whales. Kayaking and sailing are also popular activities, allowing visitors to experience the island's beauty from the water.
Mt. Desert Island's slower pace of life, natural beauty, and friendly communities make it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, wildlife encounters, or simply a peaceful retreat in a picturesque setting, Mt. Desert Island offers an experience that is both rejuvenating and unforgettable.
