This architect-designed, cozy cottage on Mount Desert's quiet side has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, sleeps 5 comfortably, with full kitchen and washer/dryer. Located on Mitchell Cove in Bernard, secluded among the woods and meadows of Lopaus Point, just 10 minutes south of Southwest Harbor—you get the best of both worlds: the quiet and privacy to enjoy your family's time together, and immediate convenience to all the attractions of the island. Grocery, library, restaurants, water sports (canoeing, sailing, motor-boating, kayaking), swimming, and miles and miles of well-maintained hiking trails up some of the country's most beautiful and accessible mountains are within a 15-20 minute drive. And just a minute's walk down the property to Mitchell Cove brings you to half a mile of secluded and undeveloped private shingle beach. A home-base for your expeditions across the island; and a light-filled, snug residence for your family's together-time during your stay. The master bedroom is on the ground floor; two bedrooms are upstairs, one with two twin beds, the other a single. A futon in the living room can accommodate a sixth person. Maximum number of adults is 4-5. There is a $50/night charge for each person over five. A bath with shower is on each floor. The cottage has all modern appliances; has its own well-water and lots of hot water. Wi-Fi internet service suitable for remote work and learning is provided. A wide deck off the front balances the indoor and outdoor spaces and is great for sitting in the sun; a second deck off the kitchen is newly updated with a timber-framed pavilion roof, a grill, and furniture for outdoor meals. In the main floor's living room, a cathedral ceiling shows off the grain of the golden pine boards. A new wood-burning stove keeps the whole house warm on cooler evenings (many summers you won't need it much), and provides a natural center to game-playing, reading, or watching TV. There's ample dry firewood in the woodshed. There's an Old Town canoe, free to use, with paddles in the cellar and life-jackets inside. \* \* \* If you're considering coming in May or early June, or later in September or October, please see note below about the wood stove. It makes a big difference! \* \* \* The house is very much more than the sum of its parts. It's situated on the site of the old farmhouse that farmed the Mitchell Cove area in the 19th century, when the land was all open meadows. You'll notice that it's the 'right' spot for a house—up on a little rise, with a full cellar dug into the side of the hill, and a big green lawn spreading down toward the Cove. Past the lawn, and the old apple tree, there is still open meadow to the front of the house; but now pine trees hedge off the few neighboring houses, which are distant and completely hidden from view. To the south and west is Lopaus Point and thick pine forest. The house is nestled into the corner between the old meadows and the newer forest—you're very much in your own world without being in any way constricted. Open air, wide space, freedom to move—and the elegant concentrated space of the house—that's the feel of being here. You'll also notice lots of little architectural details that make spending time in and around the house a real pleasure. The house was designed specifically to capture and display the best virtues of Maine's coastal summer climate. It encourages you to experience the best of what it's like to be here. During the long summer days, it's light-filled and airy. You'll want to throw open the doors and let the cooling ocean breezes waft through. Take your work out on the deck; watch the kids play soccer on the grass. Or wander down to the Cove. At nights, it's a supportive, cozy enclosure that brings everyone together around the wood stove. Cook up a seafood feast. Gather round a board-game. Curl up and watch a movie on the TV. The house works so well in part because the floorplan is both open and separated. Communal activities will center on the first floor, where the kitchen and living room flow into one another and keep everyone connected. But if you want to get some work done, or the kids need to start a summer-reading project, or someone just wants to be on their own, you can head upstairs, close the door, and concentrate. The place is full of memories of people doing exactly this for fifty years. I'm sure you'll quickly find your own way of being right at home. \*\*update for 2016 forward\*\* We've installed a new wood-stove this year. It's a Blaze King model (you can find the features online): very efficient, low-emissions, and easy to operate. It also has a fantastic burn-time--up to 20+ hours on a single load of wood. It makes heating the cottage during cooler spring and fall days and nights very easy and reliable. Load it up before you turn in for bed; when you wake, it's still full of coals and putting out good heat. If you're considering renting during those earlier or later periods (May, September, October), the new stove will make a big difference in your comfort. \* \* \* ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Desk ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Canoeing nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33560000/33550100/33550092/270-345b3ea6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Summer 2025 book now and experience the beautiful views!

The cottage itself is an architectural gem. It's a simple cottage with a timeless design and quality craftsmanship, and fits perfectly into its surroundings. And for us the location is ideal. It's a short walk on a quiet road to beautiful Bernard and a short drive to Southwest Harbor. Mountain hikes and craggy Wonderland are within 10 minutes by car. And Mitchell Cove, a two minute walk from the house through the trees, is our place for morning coffee, afternoon canoeing, and fantastic sunsets. ##### David S.

It was exactly as advertised - neat, clean and quiet. We had the cove completely to ourselves. If you're visiting this area for the first time, don't worry about the proximity to Bar Harbor and all the attractions. Short car ride with plenty to see and do along the way. The hiking trails around Long Pond are excellent. You can walk to Thurstons Lobster Pound which was our favorite meal, on the last night of our trip. The host communication was excellent, but we did not need him at all once we arrived. Everything was exactly as described and we felt right at home the moment we walked through the door.

The outdoor seating areas were dreamy, and the landscaping kitchen well-equipped and east to use with everything we needed (and we like to cook). Access to canoe and cove was a highlight. We had difficult travels getting to Maine (our own fault) and Richard was quick to respond to requests for information, kind, and reassuring. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Juliette W.

Outdoor spaces great for hanging out or entertaining friends, as is the large living/dining space with wood-burning stove. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking a variety of foods. Bedrooms designed to give each person or couple their own spaces. There are two identical bathrooms, one on each floor near bedrooms. They are small but clean and well organized. This house is perfect for a family with children or several friends. ##### Steven K. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vickie V.

It was a great home base from which to explore surrounding trails and sights. The trails in that area are less touristy and less crowded, which was exactly what we wanted. The camp itself was comfortable with plenty of space. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor deck overlooking the meadow. We also enjoyed taking in the sunset on the cove just a few minutes away. Richard was a laid back, but responsive host who gave us lots of good insider info about things to do in the area and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time there tremendously. ##### Lauri N. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline M.

We enjoyed our week with our young children here and had everything we needed. So many great spots to explore on the quiet side of the island and an easy 30 min drive to Bar Harbor. ##### Jacqueline M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S.

We have stayed at Prud'homme Cottage 2 years in a row, and we miss it immediately whenever we leave. The cottage itself is a work of simplicity and art, a perfect place to relax, think, and embark on adventures. For us, it is the perfect retreat for escaping the city and finding some harmony with nature. We love spending mornings on the beautiful decks and walking down to Mitchel Cove. After mid-day hikes around the quiet side of MDI, we walk to Thurston's for lobster or just around the beautiful village of Bernard. Our evenings involve board games, running around the back yard, and (ideally) one more trek down to the cove. We hope to go back to Prud'homme for many years. ##### David S.

Aug 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Perfect for First Family Trip to Maine We enjoyed this cabin on our first trip to Maine! The weather was beautiful and we loved the people and coastline of the Quietside. The caretaker Scott was wonderful and we had no issues with the property while there. Basics, directions, key access were all as listed. Beds and linens were wonderful. Kitchen was stocked. No cabinets in the entire house … all open air shelving and no AC unit. This wasn’t an issue during our stay but good to know! We did find the access to Mitchell Cove further away than the listing provided. It was accessible from the cabin but we felt like we were walking on others property to get to it. There was a nice small public beach just down the street. Thurstons down the street had the best lobster on the island! Also recommend a visit to the Quietside Art gallery and Island Cruise nature boat ride. ##### julie k.

House was clean and everything was exactly where it was supposed to be. When we arrived the power was out due to an accident down the road so the lantern came in very handy! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristen K. Aug 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for Families! This was our family's 6th trip to Mount Desert Island/Acadia and the cottage met our needs perfectly. Our family is young (8 year old, 5 year old and 4 year old, plus a dog) and the kids had so much fun running around the property and exploring the cove while my husband and I sat on the deck to read, enjoy a drink or simply prepare dinner. We ate outside almost every evening and would stargaze with the kids into the night. I have never seen shooting stars like I did on this trip. We are committed "quiet side" people and don't mind the longer drive to Bar Harbor or some of the more touristy areas of the island. Moreover, Richard was a pleasure to coordinate with - everything was seamless - and we had the opportunity to take advantage of the canoe and kayaks during our stay. Such a well-rounded trip, and I would not hesitate to rent again. Enjoy your trip! ##### Kristen K.
