We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home in Trenton right on Goose Cove. The house was exactly as described – nicely decorated and immaculately maintained. It was incredibly spacious, and the views were unbelievable. Every night and morning we sat out on the deck, looking out over the water and listening to the birds. It was so convenient - close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. The host was fantastic – responsive and very thoughtful. I highly recommend this place for anyone who’s going to spend time in the area.

Perfect rental for our group of 3 couples! The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for us to hang out both inside and outside. The view from the deck was awesome! We saw lots of wildlife and we enjoyed kayaking during the high tide. Although it is off the island, it is just as close to Bar Harbor and many of the main attractions as other places we've rented on the island in the past. Would highly recommend!

Respite near Acadia

We were fortunate to find Goose Cove Cottage, a relaxing place to unwind while visiting Acadia National Park. This spotless home is very comfortable, the kitchen spacious and easy to work in, with a deck and firepit with water view. The host was very responsive, gave excellent directions; we would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Pinkham

Host profile image
Bill is a small business owner and has always shown an 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 a getaway 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 they chose this property

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. One family who has rented from us twice now...saw a Moose walk along the driveway! No pictures but I keep my eyes open in case he returns while I am there.

What makes this property unique

An outdoor fireplace which is perfect on those quiet summer nights.
