About this cottage rental
WE ACCEPT RESERVATIONS by the week only, Sat-Sat
We do have a no-pet policy for guest tenants
Popover is one of 4 cottages available on this large waterfront property. It has a bit of height over the cove and Blue Hill Bay.
The living space faces south and west for spectacular sunset views. There is a brand new West Elm sleep sofa in the main living room. The sleeping loft hosts a king bed. Access is a very sturdy ladder-like stairway.
The kitchen is creatively functional. A single burner unit, electric frypan, large toaster oven, mini microwave, large dorm-style fridge, and deck-side BBQ make this a great space for easy-peasy cooks. Coffee maker & tea kettle included.
Other cottages on this property include:
Barnacle (sleeps 4), RabbitHole (sleeps 4-5), & Boathouse (2)

We would love to secure your vacation time on MDI here at Barnacle Landing. The VRBO connections have been wonderful and everyone has expressed their wonder and amazement at our best-kept secret, the cottages on the bay. Renters are still saying this place 'exceeds expectations'. What else can we say? Come see for yourselves.
This family-run property offers quiet respite steps from Acadia National Park. The cottages are kid-friendly and have great decks for sunsets, b-b-qs, and playing. (Sorry, no pets) The surrounding woods are nature's masterpiece quintessential Maine. There is lots more we offer, email me for details of Barnacle Landing, on the WESTSIDE of MDI off Tremont Road.
The property is 1500 feet of shoreline and the cove proves to be a great place to explore Maine marine life and geology. Nearby, Pretty Marsh is chock full of places to explore in our kayaks and rowboats. The harbor is home to seals, porpoises, great blue herons, osprey, and frequent eagles. Fishing and crabbing is always a great way to spend your time.
If you like to swim in the ocean, there are ladders at the dock and a gravel beach to wander in and out of the waves. Of course, there are warmer ponds and lakes very nearby, too.
The 40 acres surrounding the cottages are full of woodsy pathways and mossy areas for exploring. There are mussels to collect at low tide and you can steam your own lobsters on the deck of your house. And, SUNSET is an amazing feature here on the west side of Mount Desert Island.

We could not have asked for a more perfect spot to spend our vacation! Popover cottage is tucked away in its own little private corner of the property—so quiet and peaceful amongst the trees and just a short walk to the water/kayaks/the perfect sunset viewing spot. Sheila could not have been kinder—very responsive and caring. The cottage is well appointed and there are very thorough notes, suggestions for hikes and other activities, etc. We went to bed hearing the loon’s song on the water and woke up to beautiful sunrises. A few important FYIs: the cottage is located down a shared steep gravel driveway. Be sure you have good brakes and go slowly to avoid unexpected close calls with other guests. The cottage is tucked back amongst a tree-lined (and charmingly clam shell marked!) narrowing path and because of this, you park your car a few paces from the cottage. A very short walk but, if arriving after dark, you’ll want to be sure to have a flashlight to light your way. We found the entire experience magical—we made so many memories. We definitely hope to return! Thank you, Sheila!

So while we enjoyed our stay here, it was not entirely what we were expecting.The sunset view is only really available by sitting on the deck at the table and each time I sat out there to enjoy the views, I would find a small tick on me which was a deterrent from me going out there.The listing said parking available but there was no mention that there would be a walk to the cabin on a forest floor. Coming from Florida for a week for 3 people we had 2 large, heavy bags with us. Had it not been for my husband, I would have been super frustrated having to lug the luggage on my own without prior knowledge. Thinking as if it's a single mom with kids.I don't think the cottage is ideal for families with kids, but instead better suited to couples and mostly adults. While my son loved the row boat and enjoyed rowing my husband around, there was no way to actually access the rock beach other than going down a ladder into the water first. My son came across tide pooling and would have loved to have been able to find treasures on the beach during low tide. Also listed was enjoying fishing but when I inquired, no poles were available. You should definitely consider adding poles for use. Also, the fact that there was no TV or AC would have been awesome to know. The AC I understand after being there, but coming from Florida I wasn't aware that most homes wouldn't have AC so it was a little shocking in the start.Never been asked to clean a house with chemicals and cleaning supply.
