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."

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.

Heaven Away From Home

I have never been on vacation at a more hospitable place. In booking Goose Cove Cottage, every question was answered and we arrived to an immaculate cottage. Wanda was very helpful and such a down to earth person who became a friend. She had blueberry muffins waiting, brought us lobsters and helped us find activites to enjoy our stay there. I would highly recommend this home and her other home to anyone looking for a friendly, clean, relaxing place to vacation.
Owner response:Claudia, Thanks for your kind words, I thoroughly enjoyed you and your friends! I hope you will become "regulars" at our cottages. Wanda

Jebb and I have stayed at Goose Cove Cottage over Christmas for the past 2 years. It is the perfect place to call home over the holidays. We can truly enjoy the time here by "turning off" our phones and enjoying the great outdoors. We had a great time snowshoeing the trails in Acadia last year, driving down Route 1 and visiting the many local shops this year, and getting to explore coastal Maine a little better. The home is perfect for 2 or 8, whichever you prefer, so close to Bar Harbor and not too far from Bangor. It has all the ammenities you need. Being on the water, and having the sun wake us in the morning, was enough to make our vacation perfect. And if you chose to turn on the tv, that's there too. We love it here and will be returning in July! Thanks Bill and Wanda, for allowing us to enjoy your cottage!
Owner response:Thanks Christian! We are happy you had a cozy Christmas again this year. We are looking forard to seeing you and Jebb in July! Wanda and Bill

We have rented many vacation homes over the years, but Goose Cottage was, by far, the most well-equipped. Anything you could possibly need was in the cottage. The accomodations were clean, well-kept, and comfortable. The location on Western Bay was beautiful, both day and night (we spent some time one night looking at the billions of stars in the sky). And did I mention how quiet it was? If our kids had been with us (they're all grown up now), they would have loved the upstairs bedroom and loft) The drive to Acadia took about 10 minutes as it was after Labor Day. Wanda was thorough with the booking process and very responsive to any questions we had. We looked at a lot of homes and condos in preparation for our first trip to Maine. When we return, we'll only have to look at one!
Owner response:Thank you, we look forward to assisting with your next vacation! Kind regards, Wanda and Bill

This is our second year renting Goose Cove Cottage and again, a very homey, comfortable and restful stay. Every little incedental is thought of so all you have to do is enjoy the view and relax. Our 3 and 6 year olds LOVE exploring the beach and playing in the yard. We've been coming to Acadia for years, and have rented quite a few homes, but this one is by far the best and we won't be looking any further to rent again... we look to return to Goose cove cottage again and again! And Wanda- you are so thoughtful and wonderful- the kids love their goldfish containers and Katie just LOVES the slippers- will send a pic in the mail to you. Thank you again!
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to comment on your experience at Goose Cove Cottage! I am pleased you enjoyed your second visit as much as your first! I look forward to seeing the photo and am sorry we did not have the opportunity to meet. Kind regards, Wanda

Goose Cove Cottage was perfect in every way! This beautiful cottage nestled in a quiet picturesque setting was comfortable and conveniently located to Mt. Desert Isle and Acadia National Park. The house was immaculate and every possible need was attended to including muffins on arrival! The cozy fireplace was enjoyed as we watched a full moon illuminate the peaceful bay below from the comfort of our living room. It just doesn't get any better than this! I highly recommend this rental and thank Wanda and Bill for sharing a little bit of Maine heaven!
Owner response:Happy you ladies enjoyed your stay! Thank you, Wanda

Great Location and Cottage

Review Submitted: 07/22/11
Beautiful location and house is in great condition, clean and cozy. Helpful hint notes are great. Views of the bay are terrific; quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed sea kayaking, lighthouse cruise, Acadia NP, mini golf and great ice cream, local shops, lobster. Weather was wonderful - it was cool watching the fog roll in and swirling around. Boys named several of the large rocks that are visible when the tide was out - and yes, both managed to get stuck in the muck despite our warnings!
Owner response:Thank you for your review!

We had a great time at the “cottage”. The home is beautiful and has wonderful views of the bay. With two master bedrooms each with a private bath, it is perfect for two couples. There is an additional bedroom and two twin beds in the loft for an additional couple or the kids. Wanda and Bill made us feel at home and ensured anything we needed was provided. There were delicious blueberry muffins for our first morning. We rented kayaks for the week (they were delivered to the house) and spent mornings paddling alongside the seals. The house is located within a short drive of Acadia and Bar Harbor. Afternoons were spent in Acadia hiking numerous trails and biking on the cottage roads. Our favorite restaurant was Kathy’s Trenton Lighthouse just 2 miles from the house. Try the fried clams, sautéed scallops and her amazing crab omelet. Thank you, Wanda and Bill!
Owner response:Nancy, Thank you for the review! It was a pleasure meeting you and we are very happy you enjoyed your stay at our cottage! Kind regards, Wanda

Outstanding Vacation Rental

Review Submitted: 09/15/10
This house was absolutely perfect for our family including four adults and two grandchildren. The house was secluded and had a wonderful view from the back deck overlooking the Western Bay. The owners took very good care of us and ensured that the house was emaculate when we arrived and that anything we needed was provided. They even delivered fresh lobster to the house and provided special goodies for the grandchildren. Our grand kids are talking about going back to Maine already. The house was located within a short drive of Acadia and Bar Harbor and was also convenient to grocery stores and shopping. The only drawback for some might be the lack of cell phone coverage, but I looked at that as a plus. We all had a totally relaxing and memorable vacation. We highly recommend the "Cottage".

2010 stay

Excellent accomodations - I highly recommend it. The "cottage" (really more of a luxury home) was just as advertised. All the modern conveniences and beautiful setting. Wanda was very responsive and clearly committed to making the visit a good one. Excellent for families or friends, children or adults. Unimportant detail - not much TV or cell phone reception, so teens who want to "stay connected" might not be thrilled.

Bill & Wanda, Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cottage with us! We had a blast between hiking, kayaking, shopping and a ferry tour at Bar Harbor, we were always busy. Maine is such a beautiful state and your cottage definitely made our experience here in Maine even better! And the seafood here is wonderful! We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks again Wanda & Bill, it truly is a beautiful home!
