CrossHaven - Set looking across the tidal water of Goose Cove on Northern Blue Hill Bay, CrossHaven provides dramatic views of Cadillac and other mountains of Acadia National Park.
CrossHaven is a very welcoming and comfortable New England farmhouse with an artistic history. It was the long time home and gallery of photographer George Daniell and painter Stephen Dorland and inspiration for much of their work.
Surrounded by perennial flowers, patches of wild roses, flowering shrubs, crab apple trees, and a koi pond, CrossHaven offers area for relaxation or entertaining. There is a covered gazebo with attached outdoor dining area and gas barbeque grill. Behind the gazebo is a small orchard bordered on one side by mature oak trees. A self bailing two person kayak and a couple of bicycles are awaiting use by guests.
The first floor of the house provides an updated modern kitchen with cherry cabinets and a space for casual dining, a summer living room with gas fireplace, a dining room, family room, enclosed porch, and bathroom. The second floor has a large open bedroom and two other bedrooms providing comfortable sleeping for 6. The second floor has its own bathroom with claw legged tub. Included for your stay are a washer and dryer, cable TV, and local telephone service.
Being only minutes from the Bar Harbor airport and Mount Desert Island, CrossHaven provides a convenient base from which to explore Acadia National Park and the surrounding area while being out of the congestion and hustle of downtown Bar Harbor. We welcome your pets with prior approval.
Sorry, but no smoking.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
Born and brought up locally on Mount Desert Island. Granddaughter of a light house keeper. Mother of 3, and grandmother of 7 children. Married to a sailing enthusiast; we're planning to sail around the world within 2 years. Was a building contractor for 35 years and am now retired.
Why the Owner Chose Trenton
It is a beauty of a house with a lot of local history. It also has an incredible view of the ocean with Mount Desert Island and mountains in its vista. Not to mention a Koi pond , perennial gardens, and low taxes!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Incredible sunsets, that brings forth fireflies and singing frogs. When the morning mist rises it gives forth an array of dragonflies that balance on Lily pads. Then, when you think it can't get any better, a great blue heron glides down from the sky, which make the woodpecker and the flying squirrels freeze.
The Grandchildren enjoy the barbecue's in the back yard's gazebo. In the winter months, they go ice skating on the pond, then we all retire to the house and watch another wondrous sunset while sipping hot coco.

Crosshaven was a great guest house! It provided a central location, plus had a wonderful downeast "Home" feel. The pond and all the wild life were a joy to watch, and feed daily. The view of Cadillac Mountain and Acadia across the water was spectacular! 2007 was a Perfect Season! Thank you, Kevin and Margery Buck
