About this cottage rental

Newly renovated in 2026!

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.

Spacious cabin with the most amazing view of sunrises and sunsets.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2023
Pros: Incredible sunset views of the bay Very clean Well stocked kitchen A/C in both bedrooms (listing is not accurate) Cons: The well water for the cottage is salty and undrinkable. Owners should state this in listing and contract, and not just admit that it's a problem in the instructions located on the property. At a minimum leave a gallon of drinking water until renters can get to the store The beds in twin room are only suitable for small children. The matresses are worn out and the ancient bed springs are not a typical modern box spring.They are extremely uncomfortable for an adult. We wanted to use one of the twin beds as my spouse has restless leg syndrome, and ended up having to put the mattress on the floor in the living room. There is an extensive construction project at the property that shares the driveway. This wasnt disclosed to us until 2 months before our arrival, and project was clearly started way before then. No chance at that point to find another place for 4th of July week. Fortunately the neighbors were very considerate about letting us know when the driveway way going to be blocked for deliveries of materials.
