About this property

Aldernest Loft - Acadia Park/Mount Desert Island -walk across lawn down to shore

Along with my husband and family, I invite you to share the beauty of our home and cottages on Mount Desert Island, the home of Acadia National Park.

We are located in the coastal village of West Tremont, on the western side of Mount Desert Island. You can get to the parts of the park within 10 minutes and to Bar Harbor in about 30 minutes.

The Aldernest Cottage is adjoining our home overlooking Blue Hill Bay. The rocky shore front of Maine is just a short walk across the lawn. You can have your coffee in the morning sitting on the rocks while you enjoy our private, peaceful setting. In the evening you will enjoy the beautiful sunsets that will probably take your breath away.

The Aldernest Loft (upstairs apartment) has two carpeted bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and one with two twins. There is a dining room/living room area, fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a washer/dryer.

You will find our rates competitive and the setting incomparable. Please come, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of our location while you are visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park.

Additional Details:
Wifi using 200 Mbs Spectrum Cable Modem Connection
High definition television with Roku
Heat and air conditioning provided with reverse cycle heat pump.
Parking for two cars next to the fence

Please Remember:
1) Our Cottage is Pet Free. We have found that many returning tenants are allergic to pets so this is a "firm policy", no exceptions, please.
2) We can accommodate four people comfortably with two bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two twins. We do count children, including infants as part of the occupancy. No exceptions, please.
3) Our Cottage is Smoke Free. No smoking allowed on the premises.

Memorable family vacation in Acadia National Park

We truly enjoyed our vacation in Aldernest Loft. The place is very clean, close to the shore, and great for nice walks in the neighborhood. We also enjoyed swimming in the nearby lake , which is also suitable for small children. Nice restaurants and bistros were also within reach as we drove to the Acadia National Park. We liked the variety of trails available, of different difficulty grades. We also appreciated Kathleen's kind care.

Lovely little getaway spot in Maine

We loved our stay in Tremont in the cozy top floor of the property. The house was squeaky clean and welcoming, and we also took advantage of being a short walk away from the beautiful coastline (sunset was exquisite!) It was a bit of a drive over to Acadia and Bar Harbor but we appreciated being away from all the crazy tourism and found some really good restaurants and quiet shore walks closer to our area. Would definitely come back again!
