Our two families (four adults, two adult children) had an amazing two weeks at Grey Cottage. The house itself is a charming, comfortable, classic Maine cottage with all the modern amenities--and super clean. The view from the front porch across Union River Bay to Mount Desert was among the best we have ever seen in our twenty-plus years of coming to Maine. We spent hours on the porch every day drinking coffee and/or cocktails, reading, watching birds, soaking in the sun. One of the best features of the place is the back beach, a lovely 15-minute walk through the woods behind the house. Itâs basically a private cove, perfect for swimming, sunning, watching birds and seals and even a dolphin (twice). The location of Grey Cottage is fantastic: an hour from Acadia, twenty minutes from Blue Hill and Ellsworth, on a super-quiet peninsula off a peninsula. Canât say enough good things about this place.
