Everett Cottage at Indian Point (Bar Harbor)

This is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful locations on Mount Desert Island. Located in the town of Bar Harbor, on protected Western Bay, our cottage sits so close to the ocean that water laps against the deck at high tide. The property is immediately adjacent to the Blagden Indian Point Preserve. Many visitors come to the Preserve to see the harbor seals basking in the sun at low tide. The space Please do not bring jet-skis or other motorized water-craft. The low-tide resting area for the federally protected harbor seals is VERY close, and these types of vehicles will disturb them. Enjoy the 1970's retro decor. This is a family getaway for us and we enjoy keeping it the way we remember as children.:-) Bedrooms 2 & 3 are both lofts. One loft has a privacy curtain and the other uses free-standing privacy screens. The only bedroom with true privacy is the master bedroom. This cottage is NOT appropriate for very small children. The cottage has open lofts. Also, at low tide the rocks are very slippery. There is no air conditioning because this is the Maine coast. For the handful of hot days, there are fans available. No smoking of any kind is allowed on the property, inside or outside. If you are a smoker, thank you very much for your interest, but you should probably choose a different listing. We wouldn't want withdrawal symptoms to ruin your vacation:-) The best view of the seals is from our deck. With over a thousand feet of shoreline, we have a beach for convenient kayak access as well as picturesque rocky ledges. Located 20 minutes away from Acadia National Park. Guest access Guests have access to the entire house and the entire property. Other things to note Bedrooms 2 & 3 are both lofts. One loft has a privacy curtain and the other uses free-standing privacy screens. The only bedroom with complete privacy is the master bedroom. Never leave anything on the beach. During a spring tide (any tide that occurs during a full or new moon) the beach can be fully submerged at high tide.
