Dory Haven
Affectionately known as Dory Haven, this newly renovated cove-front cottage features tasteful New England decor, high ceilings, a screened porch, and a sunroom boasting an abundance of windows and waterfront views. In a prime locale, you’ll have close access to the area’s natural wonders. Traverse the coastal woodlands of Acadia National Park, or hike local peaks like Champlain Mountain and The Beehive. For explorations nearby, Bartlett’s Landing and Long Pond can be reached in no time.
Relax in the spacious living room, furnished with two sofas, armchairs, and a gas fireplace. Pick your favorite film from the vast array of DVDs and have a movie night on the 31-inch TV. An adjacent sunroom boasts a sofa and rocking chair, as well as a dining table. Whip up tasty vacation meals in the open kitchen, outfitted with new appliances, granite countertops, and all the kitchenware needed. Enjoy morning coffee at the two-person breakfast nook. Gather in the sunroom at the unique live-edge wooden dining table for six and take in beautiful views of the waterfront backyard.
The whole family will enjoy the expansive grassy backyard. Roast s’mores over the fire pit or go for a swim in the refreshing waters. Please note that the waterfront is tidal, meaning at certain times of the day, there is no water. However, during high tide, the water is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, including seals, otters, and Maine seabirds. End your day with drinks on the deck, with seating for two. Sizzle dinner on the grill, then head to the lower-level screened porch to enjoy an alfresco dinner at the picnic table. This area also offers a two-person table, ideal for a quiet moment at the end of an activity-filled day.
For nearby excursions, launch a kayak from Bartlett’s Landing, which also serves as a wonderful spot to catch a sunset. Or head to Long Pond, a nearly 4-mile long, glacial lake. Drive 15 minutes to Acadia National Park. Spend your time exploring the woodlands, breathing in the salty air on the rocky shores, and watching for local wildlife. Explore the coastal town of Bar Harbor, just a 25-minute drive from your home. Indulge in local cuisine, shop the boutiques, or charter a boat to explore the deep blue sea.

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.
