“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.

Off Season Stay
This is a beautiful home and nice even during the off season. Not many places open in November but the house is cozy and Acadia National Forest is worth the trip.

Nice stay
It was a nice stay, about a 30-35 minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Only thing to note is that only the living area had AC so the upstairs bedrooms got a bit warm.

Wonderful and cozy spot
Our family had a wonderful stay here for our most recent trip to Maine. The house is extremely clean and cozy - everything is absolutely spotless and all of the details in the home have a touch of luxury... such a relief for our family of 5 (which includes 3 small children) after long travel days and then long days exploring the island. We can't recommend this property highly enough and look forward to returning soon!

Cute house in sleepy part of town
We enjoyed staying on the quiet side of Acadia NP! It was great to be close to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. There’s a small downtown that’s very close. We ate at Dry Dock Inn and it was delicious! The house was clean and quaint.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful home
We had three generations in the Brookshire Cottage, and we loved it. My parents enjoyed the ease of the first floor suite. Everything was well-appointed and the kitchen was a dream to cook in. One of the best rental experiences we have had!

Maine Vacation
We enjoyed our stay in the brookshire cottage! The cottage was cute and quaint and we loved the location on the island. The air conditioner in the living area was a nice bonus as well. Would have loved maybe a better equipped kitchen, some of the items were rather outdated. Overall we had a great time and lovely stay!
