Charming, Fully-Equipped Cottage With Private Beach near Acadia National Park

Our dog Bailey loved it, Host was very helpful, area was perfect. Hated to leave.

This is a great property, and the hosts are very helpful and responsive! It's quiet and not far from Acadia. We really enjoyed our stay!

This property was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted to be by the water and close to Acadia hikes but away from the crowds. Brant was very helpful and made sure our stay was everything we wanted.

This was our second stay at Brant's place, which I hope will convey how much we enjoyed our first visit. The location of the property makes for easy travel to the main hiking trails in Acadia and to Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. The house is well-appointed and roomy and is a couple of minute walk to a long rocky beach by the bay, which my wife and dog both swam in. Brant is warm and friendly and responsive to questions or requests. He has two friendly dogs that our dog had a lot of fun playing with.

The loon cottage was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there for our week visit. Brant and Maggie are gracious hosts. We enjoyed our visits with Brant and dogs Millie and Angel. The dog friendliness of the cottage was great for us with a perfect beach (that our toddler loved too!) and trails to walk. Location is central to many amenities, sites and restaurants. We will be back!

As usual, we had a wonderful stay. Brant and Maggie are great hosts. The cottage is comfortable and relaxing and the location is great for heading out for adventures or into town. We love staying here. Till next summer!

We had an excellent time. We really enjoyed the location of the cottage and the privacy. Our dog enjoyed playing with Angel and Millie. Grant and Maggie were gracious hosts. We would definitely return. I can’t say enough great things about this place and the views and wildlife are amazing!!!

Great cottage, very clean, comfortable, very well equipped. Great location.

Beautiful location and the cottage was very comfortable!Brant and Maggie are wonderful hosts!

We had such a great stay at Loon Cottage. The location was beautiful, and very convenient to the park. The owners are thoughtful and kind and our whole experience was excellent.

Wow, what an incredible place! Loon Cove Cottage is truly a treasure and I am so grateful that we got to spend our vacation there. Brant and Maggie are incredible hosts. They are attentive, caring, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in the area- restaurants, wildlife, hiking trails, and more! Brant provided detailed information about the property upon arrive and was very easy to chat with. He was kind enough to share fresh eggs laid by their chickens on the property. Angel and Millie (Brant and Maggie’s dogs) were the BEST companions on walks around the property. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean. It had little bits of vintage charm that reminded me of my childhood. It is close to Acadia and downtown Ellsworth- we highly recommend Union River Lobster Pound, Pugnuts for ice cream, and the Airline for pub food. The shower was hot with good pressure. The beds were comfortable- we slept well every night. We did end up buying a pack of two pillows from TJ Maxx. I have chronic pain and am a very picky sleeper- we left those at the cottage for others to enjoy. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, etc. to cook dinner. The den was my favorite room- great view of the forest with a lovely reading nook. The beach was easily accessible- we spent lots of time there looking for sea glass, shells, and neat rocks. There is even a bald eagle nest on the property- we saw the eagle often up in the trees. Thank you Brant & Maggie for sharing this special place with us!!!

From start to finish this was a fantastic stay. Brant and Maggie were very welcoming, and so were the two dogs. They gave us a tour of the guest house and the property. The guest house is surrounded by trees, it is quiet, and all the amenities and features were as described. The beach is a very short walk on clear path around the main house. We saw bald eagles, ospreys, harbor seals and sea glass from the beach. It felt like being in a postcard and we called it home for the 7 days we stayed there. It’s located in Trenton, which makes it easy to access the surroundings, including Acadia and Schoodic. It’s 12 minutes from Ellsworth which has everything you need, plus a good crafting scene, and 23 minutes to Bar Harbor which, along with Acadia Natl Park, is absolutely worth visiting. Brant and Maggie also had good recommendations of what to visit and where to eat.

Property owner/manager was helpful and gracious.
