This is our second rental cottage; we have had great success renting to great vacationers since 2004. You may view our "Blueberry Ledge Cottage" at VRBO® #33071 and visit our guest book to see wonderful comments regarding our cottage and location.

The main floor has two master bedrooms complete with walk-in closets, full private baths, queen beds and sliders that open on to the wrap around deck. We have a small bedroom with a double bed across from the main bathroom. There is a large foyer, open floor plan with kitchen, dining room, and living room. Beautiful cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors and granite fireplace.

The loft is complete with two twin beds and a cozy, tranquil space perfect for reading or relaxing, overlooking the living room and bay. (This can be changed into a king size bed with advance notice)

Walk from our deck to the shore exploring the beach or
spend your days exploring Maine's coastal towns or visit Mount Desert Island with its many villages and Acadia National Park. Opportunities are endless, including whale watch trips, boat rentals, fishing, swimming, kayaking, shopping, tennis, or make use of the many hiking trails.

Ellsworth is only ten minutes away, where you will find a variety of shops and stores. Trenton Market Place is nearby for all your grocery store needs. Our cottage is the perfect center point to begin your exploring regardless of your destination. (We are approximately 40-50 minutes away from Bangor, Blue Hill, Bucksport, Milbridge, or Cherryfield.)

If you need a break from the daily site seeing, cook your own lobster on the deck with our outside steamer, or enjoy steaks and burgers on the grill. These options let you enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Lobsters and fresh seafood close by and maybe some special surprises too!

This delightful coastal community offers many dining opportunities as well. We keep menus on hand to show the local "hot spots."

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2006

Bill is a small business owner and has always showed interest in Maine's beautiful waterfront properties. We thought building rental cottages would not only be a good investment but they would allow us to enjoy them as well.
We have built two cottages since 2004 and have met wonderful people from all over. This is a great way to invest but also enjoy along the way.

Why the Owner Chose Trenton

Bill and I love the ocean and this property was the perfect location for our second rental cottage. It has a great view of Western Bay and Acadia Mountains. There is a lot of wildlife in this area and we enjoy watching the seagulls, ducks, deer and the chipmunks as they visit on occasion.

The Unique Benefits of this Cottage

We enjoy our deck, the breeze from the bay is perfect during the warm summer days. It is very relaxing to rock in our wicker rocking chairs and hear the seagulls calling. I enjoy watching the gulls as they fly high and drop mussels on rocks in order to break them open. It is also a nice walk along the rocky shore exploring tidal pools at low water.
We have met wonderful people who come back year after year to enjoy our cottage and it's perfect location just one mile from Mt. Desert Island.

    • We just got back from our stay at Goose Cove Cottage and we couldn't have been happier with the house, the owners, the view and the relaxing time we enjoyed there. A perfect house for two families, we visited with our good friends and their children and found there was ample space for quiet reading, drawing, game playing, and watching movies. The house was very clean, well maintained with well stocked kitchen accessories. At high tide, we kayaked from the shore of the house (our own kayaks) into the bay area. The photos are accurate of the view and the house. The owners are people of integrity. We hope to stay again in the future.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks for being great guests! We hope to see you again. Wanda and Bill

    • Our family rented the cottage for nine days at the end of June, 2007. We had a fabulous time, celebrating our 22nd anniversary. While there we saw plenty of wildlife immediately around the cottage: A doe, a fawn, a fox, a raccoon, a porcupine, numerous chipmunks, squirrels and hawks. The raccoon got carried away while looking for some dinner, damaging the bird feeder, much to the dismay of the interested squirrels and chipmunks. The cottage was in nice, new condition; very comfortable with great views of Goose Cove and Mt. Desert Island beyond. It is less than five minutes driving time from Mt. Desert Island, making it a convenient location to see all of Acadia National Park, which is stunning. We spent several hours nearly every day exploring the hiking trails of Acadia. Even with all that time, we feel as though we only saw a fraction of the Park. Our favorite restaurant: Maddies Diner in Southwest Harbor. If you like watching TV, this may not be the place for you. Strictly local broadcast with marginal reception in the living room. The reception on the TV in the basement is much better. Wanda and Bill were easy to work with and we had no problems whatsoever. We can highly recommend the cottage and plan to come back in the future.

      Homeowner Response:
      So sorry for the bad reception upstairs, as soon as the next guests arrived, they phoned us and it was fixed! Nice and clear like the downstairs TV now. Thanks!

    • My family just returned from a week long stay at this property. Wow, what a trip! My husband and I along with our 3 kids ages 13, 12 and 12 had the very best time. We travel all over the place and we always rent homes/condos. This was by far one of the nicest experiences. Wanda could not have made anything easier if she tried. She is extemely helpful, but unitrusive. The house, excuse me, "cottage" is wonderful. It is very large, fresh and new. Decorated perfectly and so warm that you do not feel uncomfortable. It was hard to leave the house everyday! There was nothing that we ever needed. The kitchen is fully stocked and every little detail down to the bathroom spray was really appreciated. We spent most of the time in Acadia and surrounding areas. But at the home we rented kayacks had a blast and saw plenty of seals. The mudflats are a riot in low tide, just keep your shoes off! I love the downstairs rec room. We did a big puzzle and hung out. I cannot wait to visit this house and area again. Everything is so close and convienient. You do not want to know about our second week rental up in Nova Scotia...what a nighmare! Thanks Wanda and everyone else enjoy this lovely place. Steve, Cindy, Alec, Natalie and Sara

    • We had a wonderful stay at Goose Cove. Just what we were looking for and more. The home has everything you need and the views are amazing! We drove through Acadia and our favorite spots are Sand Beach, Thunder Hole and Cadillac Mountain. WOW! What a view. We are planning a second trip out this fall and can't wait. We really miss it.

      Entered in our guestbook at the cottage: What a wonderful location! What a beautiful setting! Spectacular vistas from every window. The layout for this "cottage" was perfect for our young family of six plus mother-in-law. We have stayed in many rentals and this one fit our sleeping needs the best. We came all the way from Texas for our first look at Maine - Glorious! We especially enjoyed (out of everything we experienced) the Carriage Road biking. The scenery was beautiful and the ease of having fun with kids. Thank you for everything being so well thought through and presented beautifully. We will hope to come back again! The Scheffrahns

      Entered in our guestbook at the cottage: All we can say is WOW! What beautiful country this is! We love Goose Cove Cottage and vow we will come back sometime. We were here for our 10th year anniversary and Maine has some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. We did a lot - we went through Acadia, saw Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, Jordan Pond and of course the top of Cadillac Mountain which was beautiful but cold and windy. We also went out to Schoodic Peninsula and Schoodic Point. It was magnificint! We also enjoyed time at the cottage-we walked along our beach and we saw deer 3 times while here. I got a 3 stone diamond anniversary band while here which was a total surprise! WOW! We never got to meet Wanda and Bill but talked with them regularly. If in doubt of places to see, ask Wanda. She sure knows her stuff. I know when it was time to leave-I didn't want to at all! Thanks Wanda and Bill for the use of your beautiful cottage and your hospitality. We hope to come back again maybe next year? Maine is a beautiful State. We love it here! Steve and Carol

      Entered in our guestbook at the cottage: It was so wonderful to be back in God's Country again. There is no other place that compares to Acadia/Maine. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. The cottage and location are perfect. Of course, we went to the Mountain several times but we also went Downeast as far as Calais. Also, Southwest and Northeast Harbors, Blue Hill area and Bangor. Actually we drove about 1100 miles around Maine. (we first did Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.) We watched for the Doe and Fawn every evening but never saw them. Then, while Bill and his Dad were here mowing the lawn, we left in the car and WOW, walking down the driveway were the Buck, the Doe and the Fawn at 11:00 in the morning!! We highlighted a map so you could see all of our Maine travels. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Geoff and Carol

      Entered in our guestbook at the cottage: What a wonderful place you have here. No, we didn't see any deer or porcupines, but we saw lots of birds and really odd caterpillars. This house is just beautiful. We had so much room and space. We loved the view and little beach - except when we tried to go down to the water at low tide and got stuck in the mud, it was hilarious! Thank you so much Wanda and Bill for sharing your beautiful home. Best Regards, The Mutinos

    • Goose Cottage is a brand new house overlooking Goose Cove. It has a wonderful open feel to it and it is equipped with the finest appliances. Wanda and Bill and their families take superb care of the property. Wanda even delivers lobster from her father's daily catch!!! There are interesting shore birds and little woodland animals. There are abundant activities in the neighborhood, but we just put our feet up on the deck and soaked in the peace and beauty.

      Entered in our guestbook at the cottage: What a wonderful home away from home! This "cottage" far exceeded our expectations and the setting is spectacular. Our future son-in-law said it best, "The house is a vacation in itself". The space is well designed and well appointed. All seven of us were comfortable. We hiked and kayaked and climbed on rocks all over Acadia. We enjoyed the Harbors and towns and tea at Jordan Pond. With Wanda's help we had a great lobster boil on the deck. Many wonderful memories are in our hearts and minds. Thank you Wanda and Bill, for sharing this house and Acadia with us. We'd love to come back! The Wilkes
