Coastal Maine Cottage with a Touch of Ireland. Perfect for one or two travelers

Welcome to Cregboy Cottage – An Irish Heart at Home in Maine

Cregboy Cottage is a small, story-filled retreat on Mount Desert Island — created from my journey from Ireland to the coast of Maine. Born and raised in Ireland, I found my chosen home here, and this cottage reflects that beautiful marriage between my Irish beginnings and Maine’s rugged Atlantic spirit.

Perfectly sized for couples or solo travelers, the cottage offers an intimate, comfortable space designed for connection and rest. It’s not a sprawling rental — it’s a thoughtfully curated home base where mornings begin slowly with coffee before heading out, and evenings end with tired legs, and a deep exhale.

You’re just minutes from the trails, carriage roads, and dramatic coastline of Acadia National Park. Spend the day hiking granite peaks, biking historic paths, kayaking quiet waters, or wandering nearby harbor towns — then return to a cozy space that feels entirely your own.

Inside you’ll find:
• A fully equipped kitchen for easy meals at home
• A comfortable living space to unwind after a full day outdoors
• A restful bedroom made for deep sleep
• The kind of charm you won’t find in a standard rental

Maine feels to me like Ireland’s wild Atlantic cousin — rocky shores, shifting skies, and that sense of standing at the edge of something timeless. Cregboy Cottage brings those two worlds together in one warm, welcoming space.

If you’re looking for a romantic escape, a solo reset, or a perfectly located home base for exploring Mount Desert Island, Cregboy Cottage was made for you.

Failte; a warm welcome awaits you. As I live on the property, I’m nearby if you need recommendations, assistance, or have any questions during your stay. Otherwise, I’ll respect your privacy and leave you to enjoy the cottage and your time in Maine.

Cutest little cottage in the most beautiful place!

This sweet little cottage was perfect for our stay. Cora was an amazing host. She thought of everything from incidentals in the bathroom to all the cooking spices you would need in the kitchen. There is a warmth and comfort that was just perfect for our girls trip. Cora was so sweet and always available for questions. I highly recommend this stay on the quiet side of Acadia. Such a cozy spot.

Lovely cottage convenient to attractions.

Great cottage close to the attractions of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island harbors. It was not far enough to have some privacy as well. Sitting on the deck you can observe to local flora and fauna. Several bird species passed through as well as several deer. Temperatures were always comfortable. The cottage has a good layout and was well stocked with cookware as well as some local coffee and cheeses to have as a snack. We would stay again.

Acadia Visit

The cottage was incredible! Extremely clean and well maintained. Cora, the host, was extremely detail oriented in equipping the property with everything necessary to enhance your stay. Of particular note was the kitchen, very well stocked with modern appliances. The location of the cottage is also a plus, as it is away from the crowded side of Mount Desert Island. Even the parking was convenient, right outside the cottage. Cora is a kind, caring person, and is enthusiastic in making you feel welcome. My visit was very enjoyable!

Awesome Cottage

The property was adorable-it was extremely clean, comfortable and had anything plus more you would expect from a rental. It was a perfect place to stay for exploring Acadia NP and the surrounding areas. The host was very accommodating and was very quick to respond with any questions or concerns.
