Chambers Oceanfront Cottages, located in Mount Desert, Maine, is closer than you think – approximately 4.5 hours from Boston;  8 hours from New York City;  9.5 hours from Philadelphia, PA; 1 hour from Bangor airport (BGR); and 15 minutes from Bar Harbor airport (BHB).  Route I-95 is the most commonly used highway to get to our cottages, however for a nice scenic ride we recommend taking rte 1 for amazing scenery throughout many small Maine villages such as Boothbay, Camden, Rock Port, Belfast, Castine etc.

We strongly recommend renting a car, however if you are looking for Bangor to Bar Harbor shuttle service we recommend “Bar Harbor Shuttle service” which runs between June and October, 4 times a day.  Keep in mind once you get to Bar Harbor, you are still 15 minutes from our location.

Second year but at Topside and the view is amazing! Easy access to the Sound, short drive to Cadillac Mtn and getting fresh lobsters from the dock tonight.A wonderful peaceful refuge!

We have been coming to Mount Desert Island for over 30 years and love it here. We have vacationed at Hill Side Cottage. for 3 season. It is the best cottage we have stayed at. Everything is first rate. It is amazing! It has panoramic views of Somes Sound from our large deck and from the living room sofa. It is on the quiet side of the island and very accessible to Acadia’s trails and activities. It is homey and comfortable. In addition Paul, who is a lobsterman, has been very responsive to our needs as well providing freshly caught lobster at market rates. His lobster is the sweetest we’ve ever eaten. We can’t wait for next year!

I’ve been coming here with friends and family for 30 years. It’s my most special place of anywhere I’ve traveled. Don and Marilyn Chambers have passed the torch to their grandson Paul and his wife Ashlee. The same high quality of care has not faltered one bit. This place is heaven on earth. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦩2024. Another 2 weeks at Rockpoint Always perfect. Counting the days for same place, same time next year ❤️🦩
