Cottage At Goose Marsh Pond near Acadia on the 'Quietside'

What a special place! We had such a wonderful stay with our two kids. The house is so full of love and clearly very well cared for.

We loved our stay at Goose Marsh Pond with our two kids! Truly such a special and well-appointed home. We enjoyed cooking in the very functional kitchen, meals in the sunny dining room, playing the piano and other fun instruments, reading some of the many books on the shelves, listening to owls while sitting on the screened-in tea house, and exploring the area nearby. Super comfy beds too. Easy and quick access to cute towns and Acadia hikes. And the hosts were easy to be in touch with and very welcoming! Thank you for having us!!

My family loved everything about this rental. We did not want to leave. Karen and Rick placed so much thought into making sure their guests had a perfect stay. Comfortably decorated, ample linens, kitchen supplies, and towels, a binder and helpful notes throughout, The pond view from the dining room was truly special. Convenient and relaxing location to come back to at night after visiting either Bar Harbor or Acadia.

This is the sweetest little post and beam cottage I have ever seen. Loved all the artistic touches. Beautiful view over Goose Marsh Pond. Loons and cool breezes at night.

Quiet location, unique and beautiful house. We thoroughly enjoyed our week there.

We absolutely loved our time on MDI and Rick & Karen’s property was perfect! Their home was beautiful and had everything we needed! We wish we would have booked another week!

We so enjoyed our stay in the cottage at Goose Marsh Pond -- the hosts built and designed this all-wood cottage themselves and it is filled with lovely, interesting touches. We especially loved the light-filled dining room with views of fields, the pond, the apple trees, and many deer every morning. Comfortable beds, thirsty towels, a well-stocked charming but quirky kitchen, plenty of comfortable seating in the living room for 2 couples, books, everywhere, and a grand piano (in tune), were some of the details that made for a really nice stay. We enjoyed morning and evening walks along the quiet road into the woods and along the pond and of courser all there is to do in Acadia! The hosts were available and responsive to questions we had. We would definitely come back.

We had an amazing week staying on MDI. The house and hosts were great! No significant negatives to report - all positives! Thank you for a memorable week with the family!

We absolutely loved this cottage for our family vacation. The details and decor are lovely and it is a great place for families. We also loved the location as well and were able to walk down to the water from the house. I hope we can stay here again!

We loved Cottage at Goose Marsh Pond! Extremely well-cared for place in a tranquil location in close proximity to everything on MDI! The owners were incredible - providing helpful information and delicious treats :))! We didn't want to leave! Thank you, Karen and Rick, for a memorable stay!
