About this cottage rental

Rooster Cottage sits on an acre of land at the water's edge with a dock and mooring. The area is a quiet residential area within an easy bike ride to the town of Southwest Harbor (a little over 1/2 mile).
There is a Marina not far down Shore Road (Manset Yacht Service) where there are nice boats for rent (I have never rented from them, but I've never heard any complaints). Mt. Desert Island offers virtually everything for land and sea. There is nowhere like it.

Keywords: “Rooster Cottage” is a new cottage in the Manset Village of Southwest Harbor. Large windows and a deck extending for two sides of the cottage offers magnificent vistas of the harbor and mountains plus a deep water dock and mooring (Advanced reservation and subject to quote).

This house was even better than the photos indicated. It has beautiful common spaces downstairs, and we appreciated the two en-suite king bedrooms upstairs. (Our group included two adult couples.) We loved sitting on the deck and watching the boats come and go in the harbor!

Great view over Southwest Harbor. Quiet and off the beaten path, but close enough to town to zip in for a meal at one of several excellent restaurants. Another good eating place is a short stroll away. There are nice walks in the Acadia National Park Seawall area close by. Flying Mountain trail, a 10 minute drive from the house is another of our favorites. There are 4 good lobster pounds within a 10 minute drive! We enjoyed using the fireplace on foggy evenings. The 2 king bedrooms with en-suite baths are spacious, comfortable & well ventilated. We found the kitchen & dining area nicely equipped for 4-6 people. We also loved the dock. The owners respond promptly to any questions or requests for repairs. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home well cared for. Great views, and very clean and maintained. My only negative is the kitchen needs more pans and utensils for someone who likes to cook. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Beautiful vacation home! Great location right on the harbor. The kids enjoyed the yard and it was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and all the top spots in Acadia. Very clean, spacious. We recommmend.

Rooster Cottage was the perfect place for our COVID-delayed trip to Acadia. It was spotlessly clean, and the two suite bedrooms upstairs served our needs to a tee. Sunrises over the harbor were gorgeous, and we loved taking walks in the evening around the neighborhood. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This property was absolutely more than we could have hoped for. The views, spectacular, the owner, extremely accommodating. If we didn't have plans to do other things while in Maine, I would have been delighted with a good book and a cup of tea on the porch, watching the tides and the boats. Thank you to the owner for opening up this lovely home for us to enjoy.

Very clean and spacious, big windows with great ocean views! Nice furnishings and artwork. Upstairs king size beds are very comfortable, but downstairs twins should be only for young kids. All beds have very nice cotton bedding and towels. Had fun biking alongside the shore, amazing trails and beaches nearby. Would definitely go again!

Rooster Cottage is spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Located in the little hamlet of Manset, the cottage offers beautiful views across the working harbor at all times of day. Rooster Cottage is half an hour or so from the major attractions of Acadia National Park on the eastern side of the island, though there are several beautiful hikes just a few minutes away. We can highly recommend this property.

All I heard as my family members walked around the cottage was "Oh My God!" "Oh My God!" What a great home you built! The views are exceptional , the floors beautiful, and the dining room table is unbelievable. ( Who made it for you?) The location is perfect. We visited Southwest Harbor,Northwest Harbor. Bass Harbor, Bar Harbor, Acadia Loop, Schoodic Loop, Cadillac Mountain, Claremont Hotel, Seal Cove Auto Museum. I could go on but you can see we had an awesome time! We would highly recommend your cottage! Morgan thanks for a great vacation spot! John Noon

Absolutely a perfect setting away from the crowds of Bar Harbor but close enough to go to daily. Acadia National Park within 20 minutes. This home is lovely and has perfect views of the harbor from the bedrooms, family and dining room and wrap around deck. All the comforts of home. Highly recommend.

I absolutely LOVED my stay at the Rooster Cottage in Southwest Harbor, Maine. I stayed for a long time, a month, and I loved it. It is nice and quiet, and the views of the harbor are gorgeous. I could sit and look out the window, or sit on the back porch and just watch the harbor all day long. The house itself is gorgeous! I hope to stay here every year! I cant recommend it this place enough. It is about a 20-25 minute drive to Ellsworth, and about the same distance to Bar Harbor. I didn't care though! It suited me just fine. Did I say just how much I liked this place!

This was a beautiful new home with two king suites - a rare find for two couples traveling together. The kitchen was well stocked with any tools needed to cook, although we took full advantage of the fantastic restaurants in the area. Our morning and evening rituals of enjoying the enormous deck, overlooking the harbor and all of its activity, will be greatly missed. Wonderful memories - we'd definitely return if given the chance.

Brand new, immaculate house with the most serene views. Excellent communication with owners. Close to national park, restaurants, shops, ferry, water sports, swimming and hiking. House is comfortable and user friendly. Sitting on the deck, reading a book and watching the boats come in and out of the harbor is priceless.

My wife and I had a wonderful week at the Rooster Cottage. The house is neat, clean and well appointed. The location provides beautiful views of the harbor, perfect for watching a mix of lobster boats and classic yachts. Both the owner and caretaker were quick to answer any questions we had. We hope to return in the future.

Great time at rooster cottage

Great time at rooster cottage

Rooster cottage was a beautiful little home for us. Not too rustic, not too posh-- just right. The kids loved feeding seagulls from the dock and we even went swimming in the chilly water off the dock. Scrambling down to the rocky shore beneath the dock is rather tricky with small children, but we had fun looking for crabs and finding shells nonetheless. Southwest Harbour is a beautiful little town to explore. The harbour view from the cottage is outstanding whether viewed in morning mist, bright sunshine, evening twilight, or moonlight. Boats are on their way in and out at all times. There is just too much to do on the island in one week! We'll have to go back.

A bit of the best of Mt Desert Island.

A bit of the best of Mt Desert Island.

The quiet Manset location and harbor-view setting was just about perfect for our small family. The well-kept house and property had everything we wanted and needed, and the house floor plan works nicely. Lovely deck for kicking back or dining. Great sunrise views. Short walk to Island Explorer Bus stop and Cranberry Ferry.
