Shore Path Cottage in Bar Harbor, Hancock County, United States | Bed and Breakfast

Welcome to the The Shore Path Cottage, Bar Harbor, United States. The Shore Path Cottage is a lovely, graciously aged house serving as a charming downeast Bed and Breakfast. It is situated on the ocean and just a short walk into town via the famous Shore Path. This Bed and Breakfast is family owned and operated for 30 years by the Chester family.

From your window you can look across the wide lawn, past a field of wild flowers, and through the trees to Frenchman's Bay and the spectacular Porcupine Islands.

Located on a quiet street, but just minutes away from all the action, the Shore Path Cottage has a charming interior that features large, sunny rooms with private bath, fireplaces, beautiful architectural details and books everywhere.

Our common rooms, including our large wraparound porch are spacious and inviting; for many summers and through the Fall our guests have enjoyed the the star-bright sky, the smell of the sea, and sitting beside the fire on cool evenings.

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.

Several of the rooms can function as suites for families and friends travelling together. All have either queen or king beds (converting to twins) and most have private baths. Our rooms feature oriental rugs, paintings, many books (from Shakespeare to shiatsu) and many 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. Even during the hottest days, the Shore Path Cottage, Bar Harbor, is cooled by ocean breezes.
