The basement & garage is NOT AVAILABLE for access by our guests. There is nobody living in the basement, but access is not permitted.

With our guest`s privacy being of the utmost importance, we have established a contactless self check-in process. Once booked, we will send you detailed instructions on how to access the home. However, if there is anything you need or of concern during your stay with us, we can be easily contacted.

Located on the northeastern shore of Mount Desert Island, Salsbury Cove is a peaceful waterfront village known for its scenic beauty, rocky coastline, and close connection to nature. Situated along Frenchman Bay, this quiet enclave offers stunning views of the water and surrounding islands, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility away from the busier tourist areas.

Salsbury Cove is home to the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL), a renowned research facility dedicated to marine and environmental science. The area`s calm waters and lush forests provide excellent opportunities for kayaking, birdwatching, and seaside exploration.

With its secluded charm, coastal beauty, and easy access to both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Salsbury Cove is an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy Mount Desert Island’s quieter side while remaining close to its many attractions.

    We had a great time, House was very nice, the only problem was no screen on the patio doors . Would have loved to be able to leave the door opened.

    House was great for a family vacation. Loved the room with 3 twins for the kids. Convenient location for visiting Acadia. Kitchen could have been cleaner as we had to scrub the stove top, dining table and some dishes prior to being able to use them. Host was great to work with resolving an issue we had with the oven in a timely manner and discussing the kitchen cleanliness. They seemed to truly care about any issues. Bedrooms could really benefit from some black out curtains. The blinds didnt seem to keep the sun out at all making sleeping past dawn a challenge for all of us.

    Our stay at this property was great. The home was clean, well-maintained, and accurately represented in the listing. The host was professional, responsive, and welcoming throughout our visit. All amenities were in very good condition and contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would confidently recommend this property to others and would be pleased to return.

    The place was wonderful and the host was very helpful. Our only complaint was the traffic noise, but it helped having portable air conditioning units in our rooms so we could turn the fan on to drown out some of the noise.

    If you’re considering this rental, please read this review. Good: Feels new, modern furnishings, tastefully decorated, basically clean, firm mattresses, plenty of parking, nice furnished back porch.Bad: Built and furnished with the most basic/cheap builder-grade materials we have ever seen. Beginning to fall apart. Bed linens were fine, but the towels were thin and rough. So much traffic noise! Front “lawn” is a field of weeds.Wish we hadn’t stayed here because of the way Maebeth treated us and our fear that they have “rated” us as bad tenants, thus risking our ability to rent from VRBO in the future. VRBO prevents us from seeing their review of us until after we submit our review.Here's what really happened. At Maebeth's suggestion, we bought groceries in Ellsworth before arriving. We asked if we could but the perishables in the fridge before 4pm check-in time. They said that the cleaners had to be done first. We arrived a bit after 3pm and, since the cleaners had left, went inside. We emailed Maebeth to tell them that one of the closet bi-fold doors had come completely off its hinge posing a hazard of falling and injuring someone. Maebeth responded with “Why are you in the unit right now? Check-in is not until 4pm and the unit was not marked as completed. I’m disappointed you still checked in and went to the fridge after we said no… Can you confirm you understand the checkout time and will follow the rules to checkout properly?” Who talks to a customer like that?

    My family decided to add a couple of days in Bar Harbor to our Maine vacation and this house was perfect. A few minutes from the busy part of Bar Harbor, and a few minutes from Acadia: it was perfect. Super clean property, and the easiest cleaning/checkout process I've ever had at a rental.

    Very clean and convenient location for quickly getting to & from Acadia and Bar Harbor. Beds were also very comfy! The house is right on a main road, where vehicles are frequently driving at high speeds, so just something to keep in mind.

    The location so close to the very busy highway was not ideal. Very loud traffic. This would not be so much of a problem accept there is no Air Conditioning. Therefore,we had to sleep with the windows open. The very loud traffic made it difficult to sleep.Otherwise, it was a nice place clean and plenty of room for our family.

    House was clean, free coffee a nice bonus, and definitely nice to be able to bring our dog!! Kitchen fairly well- supplied though as a group of 5 we had to regularly clean plates and silverware. Living space, beds and bathrooms comfortable and as advertised. Would definitely go back!
