Shore Path Cottage on the Ocean

Shore Path Cottage on the Ocean

24 Atlantic Avenue
Bar Harbor, ME 04609
United States of America
Innkeeper(s): Roberta Chester

(207) 288-0643
 

Circa 1880. Gracing a quiet neighborhood on the Bar Harbor oceanfront, this classic example of Maine coast architecture and its desirable location is just a five-minute drive or bike ride to Acadia National Park, one of the area's popular destinations. Relax on the inviting wraparound porch or sit by the fire in the evening. Guest rooms are named after the children who grew up in the home and some boast clawfoot tubs, fireplaces, ocean views, oriental rugs, paintings, books and pleasing amenities. Several function as suites for families or friends traveling together. A hearty, healthy breakfast includes an assortment of local fruit, homemade organic granola, breads, egg recipes, yogurts, and beverages. Gather for afternoon refreshments and treats.

Innkeeper Note

Our guest rooms (all have private baths, a few with claw foot tubs) are named for the children who grew up here. Tastefully furnished, some with fireplaces and ocean views, each room is large and airy with high ceilings and generous windows, open to the salty scent of the ocean breezes. Several of our rooms can function as suites for families and friends traveling together. All have either queen or king beds (converting to twins) and are distinctively furnished. Our rooms feature oriental rugs, paintings, many books (from Shakespeare to shiatsu) and amenities Roberta has collected from worldwide travels. Whether you watch the splash of a brilliant sunrise across the horizon, or the sunset over the Porcupine Islands or wake to the call of the gulls, you will appreciate your proximity to nature.

Dear Roberta, Thank you so much for giving us this warm welcome to your beautiful house on the ocean. Your delicious homemade breakfasts were a wonderful beginning for the day. We would love to return (with or without our future kids) and wake up to the sun on the water and eat breakfast on the front porch looking out to the sea. Sabine & Christian P.S. May your heart always stay as open as your front door.
