Cox House on Great Cranberry Island

detailed description

Welcome to Great Cranberry Island, Maine

With magnificent views of Acadia and Mount Desert from a distance, live on our serene island just off the southern end of Maine's Mount Desert Island.  Named for the red berry common in this area, Great Cranberry Island is a peaceful community with country lanes, lively fishing harbors and rock-strewn shores.

Great Cranberry has its own general store, post office, church, library, and historical society.  Two ferry lines run between Great Cranberry Island and the mainland towns of Northeast Harbor and Manset, six times a day (each) in the summer.

Our splendid home is located just a quarter mile up the road from the town dock, within walking distance of the General Store.  A view from both front and back porch allows visitors to witness the beauty of Manset Bay at sunrise or sunset.

The house offers amenities which include:
First floor with living room (satellite TV and high speed internet available), dining room, kitchen/eating area, pantry/mudroom with a washer and dryer set-up, and a master suite with an attached bathroom with shower.

Second floor with a full bath and three bedrooms.

Bicycles and a golf cart are available at the house as modes of transportation around the island.  Or a car can be ferried over.

Overnight parking on the mainland is available near either the Northeast Harbor or Manset town docks.

For further information, please contact the Cox family at 716-835-7451.
