Goose Cove Cottage in Trenton is minutes from Acadia National Park. We are 75 feet from the water's edge and have a beautiful view of Western Bay and Acadia Mountains. Our Cottage is complete with all amenities to make your stay comfortable. The Cottage is newly constructed and ready for guests.
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."
"Please e-mail me for additional pictures!" Thanks! Wanda and Bill

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.

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

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
