About this property
“Brookshire Cottage” Acadia National Park “Pet Friendly” Mt Desert Island ME
Brookshire Cottage is a luxury 100 year old totally renovated Bungalow home located on Mount Desert Island in Bass Harbor. Near wonderful trails 5 mins away on the ocean. Ships Harbor Trail and Wonderland Trail. Road in front of our home circles the Island around Seawall. Very Scenic drive along the water.
The property is a 3 bedroom home with Luxury Master Suite with Master Bath, claw foot tub, and seamless glass shower. Perfect for relaxing after hiking the trails of the park or kayaking in the ocean or lakes. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking for a large group! Farmhouse sink and table inside and outside for family meals! Fire pit, gas grill, and lobster cooker available! The property is dog friendly for dogs 50 lbs and under with a pet fee $125.00. Smart TV in all the bedrooms and living room. The house has air conditioning also for keeping cool in the Summer. Please note that the Air Conditioner is only on the first floor. Windows and large fans upstairs. Rarely does the temperature at night become to
hot. If you rent in the Fall we have a gas stove for keeping warm. The property is up the street from Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Ferry Terminal and hiking trails only 5 mins away! Located on the quiet side of the Island but only a short drive to Bar Harbor. Many great restaurants and stores on our side of island too. Decorated with a classic theme. The house was totally rebuilt and redecorated 3 years ago. We provide comfortable sheets and linens. This is very important to our family. There are two separate rooms with queen beds and another bunk room that has three single beds. Trundle bed in living room.
There is another guest house in the back that is rented separate from the main house.

**Please note If you are bringing a dog please add it to the reservation so it will charge the $125 pet fee** otherwise we must do this manually. We strive hard to be pet friendly.
Keep in mind we are not handicapped accessible. The house has stairs.

Why they chose this property
Traveled to Maine with my children and friends! Started vacationing in Maine 20 years ago. Came to Southwest Harbor to sail! Best friends have a large Hinckley sailboat. Maine is the best place for sailing. My favorite spot on the Island is Bass Harbor. Best sunsets on the island. Great access to the ocean and harbor. Being on the end of the Mount Desert Island is truly a magical experience.
