Idyllic Oceanfront Family Compound | Cabin in Mt Desert
6 Bedroom Cabin in Mount Desert, Mt Desert
Bring your family and friends to experience the wonders of nature from this idyllic oceanfront compound with 2 cottages (total bedrooms: five bedrooms + loft), where five generations of kin have gathered to enjoy Mt. Desert Island from its lovely western bay. With Squid Cove on one side and Goose Marsh Pond on the other, this secluded 42-acre retreat with two separate cabins is sure to provide for a summer vacation not soon forgotten. From Camp Ouloncuit, watch the osprey fish, the bald eagles soar, and the seals soak up the sun. At low tide, discover the starfish, mussels and sea urchins. And for the more adventurous, run the tidal rapids in your canoe or kayak, or journey further to the bay at the end of Squid Cove. Whether exploring nature, relaxing in a hammock, or just comfortably sitting on the front porch taking in the view, Camp Ouloncuit provides many ways to unwind and recharge.
*Note: we rent both cabins together during our summer season, mid-June to early August. Sleeps 12; 1-2 additional guests (up to 14 total) can be accommodated for a per person fee. Beginning the Saturday after Labor Day to the end of October, we rent the new cabin only (max. 6 people). Rates and individualized lease agreement reflect these differences.
2025 rates and dates are now posted. For reservations in 2026, please wait until August 2025 to check.
