About this bed and breakfast
Perfect for social distancing, bright and private, with southwesterly views of the Blue Hill Bay, fabulous furnished, private and covered deck plus a private garden with a fire pit and access to a private beach. The enclosed garden is accented by flowering magnolia, wild raspberry bushes, which you are welcome to pick when in season (late July early August), crabapple trees and hydrangeas, great for relaxing on the Adirondack chairs, nap in the hammock, enjoy the starry Maine night sky, roast marshmallows by the fire pit or dine al fresco at the bistro set. A wooded path to the beach is mere steps away and the cobblestoned parking area accommodates two cars. Being nestled in a corner of the pristine American Legion woods, the property is the perfect setting for wildlife sightings, swimming, kayaking and fishing. Hiking trails are all around, ranging from easy, short and flat to more challenging terrains and elevations.
The interior is scrupulously appointed with authentic mid-century modern classics mixed with some farmhouse accents. There is a luxuriously comfortable king size bed with high end mattress and a memory foam/green tea infused topper, and high quality percale linens. The apartment is best suited for a couple. Most Maine coastal summer nights are cool, but there is a fan and a/c, which regulates not only the temperature but also the humidity that blows in from the ocean during a few summer days. There is High speed internet (300 Mbps) for unlimited streaming, Direct TV, a bluetooth speaker to play music from your smartphone, tablet or laptop, a small classical guitar for those inclined, binoculars, a chess set, scrabble, dominos and playing cards. A small, eclectic library completes the setting for a leisurely vacation.
The property is two miles away from the quaint Blue Hill village, with a choice of restaurants, two libraries, museums, book stores, wine and cheese shop, gift shops, post office, hospital, two churches and the famous Tradewinds supermarket. Blue Hill is conveniently located for easy access to Stonington, Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island and is served by Bar Harbor Airport (22 miles) and Bangor International Airport (40 miles.)
A local business called The Activity Shop, rents kayaks, bikes, canoes, paddle boards, sail boats, wet suits & gear. They offer the option of delivering to your doorstep and picking-up when you are done. More leisurely minded activities exist as well, like puffin tours, moose safaris and bird spotting guided walking tours; if you are interested specifically in the puffin viewing boat tour, you would best be advised to plan (weeks ahead) to check dates for availability.
I am usually around for a chat to share ideas for activities that might interest you and answer any questions. I'm always interested in meeting people and learning new things.

My husband and I just spent an amazing week at Fabiola’s property with our dog. The space itself was perfect for the 3 of us. We loved the private beach access and the fenced in yard for our dog. The location was perfect for all of our hiking and exploring. Fabiola was such a great resource for suggestions and recommendations and was always very responsive. Can’t recommend staying here enough!!

Nice cottage and Fabiola made us feel very comfortable. Our dog enjoyed it, too.

This is the cutest apartment with close proximity to multiple hiking areas (also dog friendly). We were very comfortable staying for almost a week. The beach walk is a hike in itself but the beach is very private with gorgeous views. We were able to watch a regatta from the beach, as well. The kitchen & bathroom are very small but everything was well kept and functional. The bed was extremely comfy. The fenced in yard was also great for the dog!

We cannot say enough good things about our week in Fabiola's place!
Every detail was so thoughtfully taken care of to make us feel comfortable during our stay, from a beautiful welcome basket, a well-appointed kitchen & warm and inviting surroundings - Fabiola had it covered!
She and Otto were terrific hosts and we hope to be back again! Thanks so much for everything -

Cottage was very quaint, private and well equipped. Everything we needed was at the cottage or close by. Some unique features such as private porch and beach. Host very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely be a place we would return to.

I booked this cottage for my boyfriend’s birthday in October and he said this was his favorite trip. Prior to booking I wasn’t sure where exactly in Maine we wanted to stay/visit as we always just wanted to go. Blue Hill is a must! The town was so charming and had the most incredible sandwich shop, accompanied by the best wine shop we’ve ever found that makes their own bread with the nicest staff! Aside from the town, Fabiola was the most incredible host even though we were a bit calamitous. She checked in on us and let us have our privacy for being just next door in her guest house. I would go again in a heart beat if she would have us! Her cottage is so charming and clean. I can’t say enough how this trip exceeded everything I expected. It was like being immersed into a movie!

We had an incredible stay at Fabiola's cottage! Fabiola was incredibly communicative, and she greeted us when we arrived. She offered us a tour of the property, and she even put together the cutest welcome basket for us -- with a dog for our pup!
The apartment was spotless, warm, and cozy. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings, and Fabiola had made sure that we had fire wood and lighters available. There is also a huge fenced in yard that was perfect for our dog. He loved being able to run free!
We stayed in the apartment and drove to Acadia every day for hikes, and it worked out wonderfully. The kitchen had everything we needed to make small dinners for ourselves at home and rest before the next day's adventure.
If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay with your pet as a home base for exploring the national park, look no further!

Fabiola is an awesome hostess!❤️. She thought of everything to make our stay comfortable a basket full of goodies and keepsakes to a toy for our dog. ( which is now his favorite toy) Awesome play dates with her pup,Otto. But seperate yards in case they don’t get along. She was available but respected our privacy.
The accommodations were very private. The private beach was awesome. The bed was very comfortable, a cute kitchen with all the amenities needed. Can’t say enough about our stay a Bluehill Cottage.5+stars all around.

I have never felt more taken care of during our stay at Fabiola's beautiful cottage! My husband and I spent a weekend getaway here with our dogs, and it was nothing short of perfect. The cottage is impeccably decorated, the property is just plain special, especially if you're a dog owner, and Fabiola is a wonderful, attentive, and genuine host. My only regret is not staying a few more days--but we'll be back. :)

A quaint cottage with eclectic furnishings combine to create a cozy and comfortable suite for two. The rooms are supplied with thoughtful conveniences for use throughout your stay. The caring host made us feel very welcome and is available if needs arise. A welcome basket of tasty goodies and handy items was a pleasant surprise. Our stay was in chilly off-season but we took the short walk to the beach anyway. It looked appealing with easy water access which is unusual for the area.

Staying at Fabiola’s guest cottage, felt as welcoming as staying with a long lost cousin. We had a splendid, relaxing time. Fabiola had many thoughtful touches, our favorite of which was the dog toy she chose, especially for our dog. It’s his new favorite! Location is great with easy access to blue hill and close to Ellsworth. there was no noticeable road noise. We highly recommend this place to others.

Warm and inviting. Fabiola was attentive with out being intrusive.
She thought of everything including things for my dog.

Down East Delight
Blue Hill Cottage was everything we were hoping for and more. Fabiola was a wonderful host, who was gracious with her time and recommendations. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was available anytime if needed. Upon arrival, Fabiola had a basket of goodies waiting for us,, which even included a little gift for our pup! The home was well stocked with anything you could need.. There is plenty of outdoor space, including access to a private beach just a short walk from the house. When we return to the area, we hope to stay at Blue Hill Cottage again!

Beautiful Space!
We stayed at the cottage for a few nights while visiting Acadia National Park. The location was perfect for us, only about 45 minutes from the park and away from the congestion of Bar Harbor. The cottage was quaint, charming, and comfortable, with stylish details and fun amenities like the gorgeous outdoor living room! Fabiola herself was communicative and helpful, and left thoughtful touches that made us feel welcome. We would love to return!

A magical experience!
I cannot say enough positive things about Fabiola’s Blue Hills cottage. First, Fabiola is the absolute best host I have ever had. Everything was absolutely perfect - she had everything so clearly organized and the cottage was beautiful. Check in was so easy and she had the cutest check in basket waiting for us. I was there with boyfriend and our dogs, and she even had toys ready and waiting for them. She was available for any questions and was just the kindest and most welcoming host. Second, the cottage itself was fantastic - beautifully decorated, super comfortable bed, clean as can be, and beyond cozy. There is a gorgeous yard to sit in and a great deck where you can relax and sit outside. I cannot say enough positive things about it. The location was incredible and the private beach was such a treat. I will absolutely come back here and wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you for an amazing vacation, Fabiola!!!

Wonderful Place to Stay
My husband and I enjoyed 3 nights at the cozy, comfortable cottage. Fabiola greets you at check in and shows you everything you need to know about the property. It's nicely furnished and has a very comfortable bed. An easy place to relax. There's a lovely private beach a short walk through the trees. Fabiola is a very generous and thoughtful host. It was a pleasure to meet her and enjoy her property. I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage.

Lovely cottage in the perfect area
My husband and I had the best experience on our trip to Maine. Fabiola and her cottage was a big part of making our trip so wonderful. She is an amazing host and the cottage was lovely and very accommodating. We immediately felt at home. The private beach was one of our favorite amenities. This cottage is in a great area which allows for many adventures all within a one hour drive. We will definitely be back again someday. Thank you for being a part of our amazing memories made in Maine.

We had a wonderful two night stay. Friendly and helpful host. Comfortable bed, and an amazing private beach area, although it’s a trek, well worth it!!!

Wonderful Wedding Weekend
The Blue Hill Cottage was our first experience in Blue Hill, ME as we visited for a family wedding. The location was perfect for our weekend of wedding events. Fabiola leaves no stone unturned, as everything is labeled in the cottage, amenities abound, there's a binder of information, and she provides you with a warm welcome and tour. Having a private beach was amazing, and the place is so peaceful - it was just what we needed after the events of the weekend. An added bonus is that you're close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park to visit, but far enough away to relax at a calmer pace in Blue Hill. Thank you for providing us with a lovely first impression of Blue Hill, ME!

Blue Hill Cottage Extended Stay
We rented Blue Hill Cottage for a 5 week stay and we could not have been happier! The cottage, property and location is both beautiful and functional with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing - it afforded us a true home-away-from-home experience. Fabiola is an excellent host, both very accessible but also “invisible” and she went over and above helping us with some particular needs. Highly recommend!

Cute Location & Fun Place
My boyfriend and I stayed at Fabiola's property for a long weekend in October and had the best time. The fall leaves were beautiful and Fabiola gave us all the tips on our welcome tour. The house is so cute and has a very fun style inside with plenty of things to make for a fun trip. Really comfortable bed and everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. We didn't have the best weather at first, so we didn't use the fire pit but the stars are incredible if you catch clear skies.
The 1-hour drive to Acadia isn't bad either especially since the park is rather small. The place is just a small trek away from a beautiful beach, there's a creepy abandoned house you'll pass but once you get down to the beach it's worth it.
Overall perfect trip for a couple or small group! Highly recommend Fabiola's location on Blue Hill.

This little cottage is so sweet and cosy. Every little detail has been thought out, and the owner was responsive and welcoming. The bed/sleeping area particularly was so cosy, I could have just laid in bed and watched tv or read one of the many great books available all day long! Would definitely stay here again on a trip to the area.

Perfect Getaway
We had the best stay at Fabiola’s guest cottage. The bed was extremely comfortable, the home was designed well and the town of Blue Hill was very cute and had some great food options! It was also an easy drive to Acadia. Fabiola was welcoming and it’s very clear that she cares about the comfort of her guests. She left the cutest basket for us upon arrival, even with some surprises for our pup! The backyard and the private beach were perfect for us to get our dog to exercise and we used the fire pit one night to make s’mores. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Maine
Blue Hill cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much, especially since its dog friendly. Our hostess was helpful and cared very much about our stay. The only negatives i can point out are the lack of a decent coffee maker and gas grill. The garden needed upkeep but we spent the majority of our time in Acadia so it didn't affect us much. Not having proper wifi made it intersting but forced us to unplug. The little beach had stunning views but the trail to it needs upkeep as well. If youre a couple looking for peace and quiet with beautiful Maine as your backdrop I highly recommend it.

Cozy and relaxing - the perfect vacation
I can’t speak highly enough of Fabiola and her property! The cottage is perfectly nestled away from the main house, which afforded us privacy while still being close enough to enjoy the backyard. The private rocky beach was absolutely our favorite amenity - I could spend every afternoon on the beach with a book! Thank you again, Fabiola, for your hospitality and attention to detail! We will be sure to return (with Finn!)

Great place to make ‘home base’
I fell into Blue Hill by accident, but it’s the perfect town to stay in, with very little tourism. This cottage was perfect for me - quiet, easy living. Fabiola is a fantastic hostess - very quick check in after I had a 16 hour day of travel and was not at all intrusive. She made me aware of opportunities around that were off the beaten path. I took her up on an offer for drinks and we had a wonderful time - she’s a terrific hostess. I feel like I really hit the jackpot for relaxation with this town and cottage.

Cozy guest cottage in Blue Hill, Maine
We specifically chose the Guest Cottage to be near Mt. Desert Island (Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor are on the island) for day trips there, yet far away from the hustle of the area in the high summer tourist season. The host of the guest cottage, Fabiola, thought of everything for stocking her property. The photos online are true to what you will find at check in. The cottage bed is extremely comfortable and the linens are of the highest quality. The kitchen and pantry are stocked if you need to eat a quick meal. There are great Blue Hill restaurants nearby and a local market called Tradewinds for groceries. We loved staying at the cottage, using it as a base to explore trails in the area. On our last evening we used the firepit and roasted marshmallows under a starry sky! Grateful to Fabioloa and her thoughtful appointments on the property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quiet Comfort :)
We stayed at Fabiola's cottage in July 2019. We found the cottage impeccably clean and stylishly furnished. Fabiola designed the interior with future guest in mind. The interior is tastefully decorated with some thoughtful details, such as creative . The host also went out of her way to accommodate us and make us feel welcome. She personally welcomed us and left us some small gifts. Beside that, her cottage is full of useful things - it would take a long list to name it all. Suffice to say that the kitchen is fully equipped, including appliances and a coffee maker. There are some provisions and treats, toiletries, candles and many other things.
For septic tank used for the plumbing you need to be careful not to throw anything in the toilet (not even too much septic-specific toilet paper), but it is not too hard to do. There is no wi-fi because of the house's remote location, but it is part of its charm. The unrestricted access to the bay shore is a short walk downhill, and you can have a barbecue at the beautiful yard. Desert Mountain (Acadia National Park) is an enjoyable 50-minutes drive away, the same distance as the beautiful town of Stonington, from which you could take a boat to Isle Au Haut, a part of Acadia Park. Penobscot Narrows Observatory and Fort Knox are also highly recommended.
Fabiola is also a warm and welcoming person and I enjoyed a couple of friendly chats with her. Besides the detailed guestbook (which even includes astronomic events for the summer!) Fabiola is very knowledgeable about the area and will inform you what's going on in Blue Hill and around.
In sum, it was a wonderful stay. Fabiola, thank you so much and please keep it up! We will surely come back, given a chance.
