Call for information (978) 970-1668 EMAIL info@mtdesertvacation.com
Tranquility Cottage is a spacious three-bedroom shingle-style home surrounded by quiet evergreen woods. This year-round cottage combines the comforts you would expect to find in a country inn with the privacy and freedom of a well-appointed private home. Every effort has been made to provide visitors with the components of a relaxing and memorable vacation.

Each room of the house has been thoughtfully decorated with a comfortable blend of new and antique furnishings. The cottage's first floor boasts a large, sun-filled enclosed porch with both seating and dining areas, from which you can step out onto the 80-foot wraparound deck. There is a master bedroom with king bed and private full bath. The open floor plan includes pine-paneled living room, dining room, and large well-equipped kitchen. A laundry/utility room completes the first floor.

The second floor has two pine-paneled, skylit bedrooms. One has a queen-sized bed, and the other has two twins. Like the master bedroom downstairs, they are roomy, and furnished with new, comfortable beds and bedding. The two bedrooms are separated by the large "rainy day" room, which holds shelves filled with books and games. The second floor also contains a bathroom with shower stall. Bathrooms are supplied with a variety of soaps, and luxurious towels.

Located just off the main road of quiet Bernard village, Tranquility Cottage is close to many of Mount Desert Island's attractions. Back Beach, a boat ramp, Thurston's Lobster Pound, and Bernard's picturesque fishing harbor are all within walking distance. Within a few minutes' drive are the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, some of Acadia's many hiking trails, and the restaurants and shops of Southwest Harbor. The free Island Explorer bus, provided to help visitors travel easily around the island, passes by the foot of our private road.

PETS: Because two of the owners' family members have severe animal-induced asthma, we must require that visitors leave their pets at home. We love animals too, but can't have them in the house even for a few hours.
NO SMOKING: We have a strict no-smoking policy both indoors and out, not only because of the medical conditions of our family members but also because of the risk of fire.
