About The Community

The Cranberry Isles is one of Maine's most remote and captivating communities - a small island town in Hancock County comprising five islands off the southwest shore of Mount Desert Island. With a year-round population of around 140 residents, it offers an extraordinary sense of solitude, community, and natural beauty that is simply unmatched along the Maine coast. Life here revolves around the sea, the tides, and a tight-knit community that has sustained itself for generations, making the Cranberry Isles one of the most singular places to call home in all of New England.
