About this property

Charming, Fully-Equipped Cottage With Private Beach near Acadia National Park

This is a wooded property located on deep water oceanfront of the Union River Bay. Although the cottage is not oceanfront, visitors can easily walk a well-groomed trail to approximately 550 feet of private beach that provides access for launching kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards. Bald eagles, ospreys, loons, ducks, cormorants, great blue herons, and harbor seals commonly favor us with visits. A deep water mooring may also be available by prior arrangement. As the beach is southwest facing, sunsets are often divine.

The 1200 square foot cottage is in the woods, approximately 150 yards from the shoreline. It contains:
--Bedroom with queen-size bed and ensuite full bathroom
--Bedroom with 2 twin beds and ensuite half bathroom
--Fully equipped kitchen
--Dining/Breakfast area
--Living room with wood stove
--Den with a couch/futon that can serve as an additional bed
--Utility room with washing machine and dryer
The cottage provides Wi-fi, cable television, a gas grill, patio furniture, air conditioning, and heaters.

The property lies near the main entrance to Acadia National Park (13 miles), the town of Bar Harbor (16 miles), and the city of Ellsworth (5.5 miles). Visitors will have easy access to the broad range of outdoor, touristic, culinary, and shopping experiences offered in this beautiful and historic part of New England.

No smoking is allowed in the cabin.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please, discuss this with us when you book.

Acadia Cottage

This is a lovely two-bedroom one-level getaway in a private location with easy access to the towns and mountains that make Acadia special. The hosts were communicative. Unfortunately,, the weather was overcast the entire week.

Great vacation spot near Mount Desert

we had a wonderful time. The cottage is in tip top condition, fully equipped, great amenities. Brant and Maggie shared lots of local lore--restaurant recommendations, etc--and could not have been nicer. Can't say enough terrific about this experiencej And it's a very quiet and private location about 5 miles from Ellsworth and a pleasant 25 min or so drive to Acadia National Park. would be suitable for a couple or a family of 4.

Brant and Maggie were kind and generous hosts. The cottage is lovely - immaculate and well-stocked with necessities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We loved beach, the eagles, the seals and the dogs and could not possibly have asked for more.

Perfectly Tranquil Retreat

Our family really enjoyed our weeklong stay at Loon Cove. The private beach was perfect for our kiddo explorers/swimmers. The views were amazing. The house is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The owners were very helpful and accommodating. Perfect vacation for us, and we hope to return in the future.

Amazing setting - close to Acadia and Schoodic

If you are looking to get away and enjoy nature, this is the perfect place! The hosts are amazing and do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is a lovely private beach with beautiful sunsets that is perfect for reading and relaxing. The location is great too, only minutes from the town of Ellsworth and half an hour to Bar Harbor and the hiking trails of Acadia.

What a wonderful place to stay

The cottage is in a fantastic location (secluded in the woods, yet not far from Acadia), Brant and Maggie could not have been more attentive and welcoming, and the access to the beach made the trip complete! After only being there an hour, my nine year old daughter asked if we can come back again next summer. We've already booked for 2024, so the answer is yes!

Great secluded cottage between Bar Harbor and Ellsworth.

We had a great stay at this very comfortable cottage. It was so quiet and peaceful. Just a short walk to the beach where you could see seals playing in the water and watch the sunset. it was an easy drive to everywhere we wanted visit. Brant and Maggie were so friendly and inviting. This is a great place to escape from life’s business and relax.

Cozy and Convenient Cottage/Great location

Brant was an exceptional host keeping contact with us/showing us around the property/and making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. We will be back in the near future. My husband enjoyed taking pictures of the wildlife, while my children sat on the shore watching the sunset.

Small slice of heaven

We loved our stay at this cottage. Great location, Close enough to easily get to Acadia, far enough to escape the crowds at the end of the day. After a day of being in the park, it was nice to come home and sit on the beach while our kids played on the rocks and in the water. Our kids loved exploring the property and the beach. Brant and Maggie are great hosts.

Fun Maine Getaway

My husband and I loved spending two weeks at this cozy quiet cabin in the woods. Our dog really enjoyed the freedom to wade in the water and to explore the woods and beach on the property. We used the cabin as a convenient base for hikes in Acadia and exploring nearby towns and restaurants. Brant and Maggie were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with offering suggestions for restaurants, hikes and shops. We hope to return!
