Discover Seal Cove, Mt. Desert’s best kept secret! This rural, residential area captures the feel of Down East Maine, yet it’s just 10 to 30 minutes from the rest of the island’s favorite attractions. Situated on 25 acres, just at the ocean’s edge, this cottage is perfect for those looking for privacy, seclusion, and the kind of peace only the woods can provide. Enjoy quiet daytime hours paddling or combing the shoreline directly in front of you and wonderful sunset views over Blue Hill Bay are sure to make your evenings pleasant and memorable as well. When you’re ready to head out, you’re sure to enjoy exploring the nearby Seal Cove Auto Museum, Bass Harbor Head Light and the hiking trails along Long Pond or up Acadia National Park’s Western Mountains. When you’re ready for more, head into the quaint little village of Southwest Harbor for lunch and 10 to 15 minutes further to reach the many hiking trails and scenic carriage roads running through the east side of Acadia.

The ‘quiet side’ of Mt. Desert Island, which includes Bass Harbor, Tremont, Seal Cove, and Bernard on the southern and western sides of the island, is much more rural in nature and only about twenty to thirty minutes to major park entrances. What Bass Harbor lacks in shopping, it makes up for in seafood restaurants and local color, as this is a village with a true ‘Down East’ flavor, as well as the famous Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse.
We had a great family vacation in Seal Cove. Quiet, secluded and plenty of wildlife. Easy kayaking in Seal Cove and beyond.
We truly loved this house and its location — could not imagine a more beautiful place. The house is absolutely charming and very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen. The terrace outside has a fabulous view, and we loved being able to hang out on the dock and wade in the water (full of sea stars). We also loved the quiet aspect of being in the woods, and off the beaten path. Could not imagine a better place to vacation!
