2 Bed, 2 Bath Waterfront Cottage with water views from every room, new appliances (Stove, Fridge, Dishwasher, Washer, Dryer), new windows, flooring, and finishes throughout.

Acadia Bayside Cottage is a very clean, private, and well-maintained cottage steps to the shore, with lots of light and warmth, and amazing water views from every room!

4 Heat pump/AC units (one in each bedroom and two in common areas), two gas fireplace stoves for colder weather; two bedrooms (King, and Queen), each with an adjacent bathroom. Kitchen, dining room with water views. Spacious Sunroom with Games and a Smart Roku TV where guests may log into their own streaming or cable service accounts.

Enjoy watching the tide come and go from the Outdoor decks and stone garden with outdoor seating.

Acadia Bayside Cottage is nestled beside a grove of tall pines. Relax on the bluff overlooking the bay. Witness seals, bald eagles, blue heron and osprey from the cottage. Peaceful and private, yet close to all area amenities of the Acadia region.

By car, our cottage is approximately:

10 min to seafood restaurants/lobster pounds just off Route 3 in Trenton along the route you'd follow onto Mount Desert Island (MDI).

10 min to the head of Mount Desert Island which is an area known as the Town Hill section of Bar Harbor.

20 min to the main Acadia National Park entrance and Hulls Cove Visitor's Center.

25 min to downtown Bar Harbor where there are many restaurants & shops, pharmacies, movie theater, grocery stores, and much more.

Many hiking & biking trails are within a 20-30 min drive. (trails and carriage roads can be accessed all over Mount Desert Island)

10 min to Ellsworth - where you'll find restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, pharmacies, Walmart, TJ Maxx, L.L. Bean, and other stores. Main Street in Ellsworth, which leads down to a small bridge & river, is a walkable part of this downtown with interesting shops and restaurants.

You'll find restaurants along both sides of Main Street. The Union River Lobster Pot (excellent sea food!) is just over the Union River bridge and nestled alongside the river with indoor and outdoor seating.

    The cottage was everything we hoped for and more! It was about 30–40 minutes to most Acadia trailheads, which ended up being perfect. There were great coffee stops along the way and the views during the drive were beautiful. At the end of the day, we loved coming back to the quiet and peaceful setting away from the hustle of Bar Harbor.The location near Ellsworth was another big plus. It was less than 10 minutes to town for groceries, restaurants, and a little exploring. The cottage itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had the most amazing views. We spotted seals, a bald eagle, and even a few deer during our stay!The outdoor area was wonderful for our family, especially having space for our toddler to play while we relaxed. Doug and Kim were such thoughtful and kind hosts, very communicative and helpful. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, scenic, and family-friendly getaway! We will absolutely be staying here again.

    We were thrilled with our stay, loved our breathtaking views, the well-stocked kitchen, the proximity to Acadia, and the helpful and quick response from our host. Everyone slept comfortably and enjoyed the charm and serenity that comes with being on a gorgeous estuary. We were all so sad to leave!

    The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Hosts were great, communication was easy and instructions were given prior to arrival. They also provided many amenities. Our favorite part was the gorgeous view of the bay with stunning sunsets. Kids enjoyed playing in the water and exploring the rocks. We enjoyed making a fire on the beach while watching the sunset over the water. Great location, quiet area. Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia and Ellesworth. Hoping to stay again in the future!

    My family of four stayed at the Waterfront Cottage for our family vacation. It was wonderful! It had a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, AWESOME views of the water, and provided a peaceful place to retreat to after a busy day in Acadia or Bar Harbor. Communication with the host was seamless as well. We had a wonderful time

    We loved staying at this property. So much wildlife right in your back yard. As a family of 4 we were very comfortable in his home. Acadia was a quick drive away and with this home not being on the main road it made getting around easy.

    The ocean view cottage was a perfect base for our Acadia trip. The space was clean with thoughtful amenities. Cozy fireplaces, plenty of hot water. Water view from almost every room

    Such an amazing week staying at this spot. The house and area is exactly as described, and the views over the water are incredible. The sun room/extra living room is so relaxing to have the fire going and look out the large windows. Very safe area as well. The hosts are very helpful and available. It’s only a short 30 min drive to bar harbor and the beginning of Acadia which we drove most mornings and it’s a very easy drive with nice views as well. Ellsworth is also only a few minute drive away which we occasional got for dinner if we didn’t want to fight the bar harbor downtown traffic. 10/10 recommend staying here on your next visit!

    Description accurate , convenient location to Ellsworth- close to some very good restaurants, not too far from Acadia for hiking and Bar Harbor for restaurants and shopping. Quaint cottage on the water with great sunsets. Equipped with everything you need. Loved sitting on the deck!
