Property Description

Welcome to Bunglehigh – A Quiet Retreat on the Blue Hill Shore

Once a carriage house, Bunglehigh has been beautifully transformed into a cozy, one-bedroom oceanfront retreat, situated among towering trees and landscaped gardens in a peaceful family compound. With artful touches throughout and sweeping views across the bay to Blue Hill Mountain, this cottage offers comfort and inspiration.

Inside you’ll find a light-filled living area with built-in bookshelves, comfy seating, and warm lighting. French doors lead to a wraparound porch perfect for morning coffee or evening wine under the trees. The fully-equipped kitchen—featuring custom cabinetry, wood countertops, and charming decor—opens to a small dining nook with garden views.

The queen bedroom is adorned with botanical prints and elegant drapes, and includes a private ensuite bath and access to a quiet deck. A second door connects the bedroom to a hallway with access to the main living space and kitchen.

Outdoors

Bunglehigh is set amid stone walkways, flower gardens, and hand-placed yard art. A short stroll leads to a private cove where campfires are allowed — perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. Guests have use of two brand-new kayaks, a rowing dinghy, and a jetty for easy water access. A deep-water mooring is available upon request—perfect if you’re arriving by boat.

Watch chipmunks and red squirrels play in the woods, or spot seals and seabirds along the tide. During high tide, enjoy a (refreshingly cold!) swim or simply soak in the view of the iconic Blue Hill steeple across the water.

Location: Blue Hill, Maine

Located just off Parker Point Road, Bunglehigh sits 1/2 mile from the charming center of Blue Hill and only 1/4 mile from the Country Club. The village offers artisan shops, groceries, farm stands, and waterfront dining. Blue Hill is known for its rich arts scene, peaceful coves, and small-town friendliness. From here, it’s easy to explore the Blue Hill Peninsula, Acadia National Park, or just relax and take in the ever-changing light on the bay.

Testimonials

Exactly the kind of peaceful retreat we were hoping for

May 6, 2025

We stayed at Bungalhigh for a mid-summer getaway with our dog, and it was exactly the kind of peaceful retreat we were hoping for. The cottage feels tucked away and private, but it’s also super close to the town center, where we walked to grab coffee, groceries, and even a local concert one night.

We cooked dinner a couple of times using fresh seafood from Johnson’s and had everything we needed in the kitchen, including a lobster pot, which made our boil night extra fun. Mornings were spent sipping coffee on the porch overlooking the bay, and in the evenings, we walked along the shoreline or just watched the light change over the water.

The house itself is cozy and full of personality — it’s not fancy, but it’s clean, comfortable, and feels like it’s been loved by the same family for a long time. There were books and thoughtful touches all over. Our pup had the time of his life sniffing around the woods and swimming in the cove. We left feeling rested and recharged and already want to come back next year.

The place just has a calm, easy feel

May 1, 2025

My partner and I stayed at Bunglehigh for a week in late summer, and honestly, we wished we booked for 2 weeks. The place just has a calm, easy feel — you wake up to the sound of water and birds, make coffee in that little red kitchen, and sit out on the porch watching the light change on the bay. We brought our dog, who loved poking around the woods and down by the water.

We took the kayaks out a few times — one morning the water was like glass, and a seal popped up maybe 15 feet from us. The bedroom is super cozy. The books on the shelves, the artwork, even the lamps all made it feel like someone cared about this place. You can walk into town for groceries or breakfast, which we did a few times, and the Blue Hill Co-op was great. Already thinking about coming back next year.
