Bobcat Cottage is cozy, clean, comfortable, quiet, and nicely tucked in on a private forested lot -   Peter & Linda Lord invite you to be their guests at Bobcat Cottage. Bobcat's immaculate comfort and surroundings are some of the best the "Quiet-Side" has to offer, whether preparing to explore the trails surrounding the meadow, or returning from a star filled evening at the observatory.

Bobcat is a No Smoking, "lite" housekeeping cottage nestled in the woods near the observatory and the undeveloped side of Acadia National Park. Just a short walk brings you to the main house and into the meadow next to the observatory. The observatory is located on an out- cropping overlooking the meadow and the surrounding forests.

The "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island is blessed with some of the darkest skies on the east coast. The observatory sits atop a granite knoll at the meadow's edge that falls away toward Acadia National Park in a series of mossy ledges to the beginning of Halfway Brook.

Your stay of a week or more comes with a private daytime lesson on the use of a 4-1/2" Orion StarBlast, yours to use at the observing area next to the dome. (Use of the 5" refractor and the dome is NOT included.), and access to the vegetable and flower gardens (in season).
