Blackberry and Blueberry Cottages, and Treetop Loft

Blackberry Cottage in May
Our cozy, rustic pine cottages are surrounded by forest and field on Hancock Point. Blackberry Cottage is tucked under the trees and Blueberry Cottage overlooks the pasture and blueberry field.
We are excited to announce the construction of our 4th cottage, for 1 or 2 couples. It will be called Sweetfern Cottage and hopefully, will be available late in the 2021 season.
We are located in Hancock, Maine, halfway between the entrance to Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park at Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor. The secluded location is close to the village of Hancock in an excellent area for a vacation with hiking biking, kayaking and berry picking and the cottages are within easy walking distance of the shore. Step out the door and take a peaceful, ten-minute walk to Jellison Cove on Frenchman’s Bay or explore the nearby woods and fields. There are quite a few shorter, kid friendly trails right here on the point. There is a lovely woods trail at the back of our property in the Crabtree Neck Land Trust.

Treetop Loft Studio Apartment

Treetop Loft Studio Apartment

Sweetfern Cottage
Sweetfern Cottage, Coming Soon!
In a large patch of frangrant sweefern, in the corner of the field, a new cottage is under construction. It is 15o feet away from Blueberry Cottage, and we will be planting several trees between the two cottages to increase privacy. Construction will continue through the spring and into the summer. We cant wait to rent Sweetfern. It will be lovely and a bit more wheelchair friendly, unlike the other cottages.
It will ideally sleep two people but can accommodate 4 with the use of the pullout sofa in the living area.
It will have 1 bedroom with a queen size bed, a full bath, and a small but functional kitchen.
In July and August, blueberries can be picked right in front of the cottage.
