West of Eden Bed & Breakfast, Seal Cove, Maine

Welcome to our home, a lovely restored 1872 farm house, surrounded by flowers and organic vegetable gardens. All rooms are bright, airy and pretty with freshly cut flowers everywhere. You'll sleep in all-natural sheets, dried by the sun and wind, under down comforters on cool nights.

We are located on the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island near some of the loveliest and least traversed sites of Acadia National Park yet only thirty minutes from the bustling port of Bar Harbor. Hiking, swimming, canoeing or kayaking are just minutes away as well as nature cruises and mail-boat and ferry rides to nearby picturesque islands.

Nearby Bass Harbor and Southwest Harbor, home to boat builders and fishermen, retain much of the traditional flavor of Maine coastal villages and provide a tranquil alternative to the Island's more traveled east side.

We keep a vegetarian kitchen and everyone enjoys the delicious, wholesome and generous breakfasts. We serve fresh fruits and berries in season, some from our own gardens, and our famous home-made granola, muffins and breads with sweet and savory spreads and a varied menu of hot breakfast dishes. Your breakfast may include pear-pecan waffles, sweet potato pancakes, breakfast burritos with mango salsa, fresh corn and roasted pepper pancakes, or omelets and tofu scrambles with vegetables from our garden. Maine blueberry pancakes and fruit or vegetable tarts are some of our favorites. We use the freshest and mostly organic ingredients and gladly accommodate vegan, macrobiotic, gluten-free, fat-free and other special diets.
