Spend your days exploring Acadia National Park and the Villages of Mount Desert Island where the opportunities are endless including, many seafood restaurants, numerous hiking trails, biking the carriage paths of Acadia, whale watch trips, boat rentals, fishing, swimming, kayaking, shopping, and golf. Or visit other nearby coastal towns slightly off the beaten path, “hidden gems”.

Breath taking views

This property is simply amazing! We saw seals, birds, even a bald eagle, deer and a family of skunks. One of our favorite things to do was to just sit on the deck. It truly was amazing! It is also close to Bar Harbor, Seal Cove and all the towns so we could explore those too. The house has enough space to accommodate large groups. Communication with the host was great. We will definitely go back.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

This home itself was a vacation! Secluded and quiet but only a short drive to Ellsworth (for groceries) and Bar Harbor and Acadia NP for Fun & Food! The view is Stupendous from inside and outside, and the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and living area were exactly as described and more than adequate for our family of four. We look forward to a return visit!

Maine Family Vacay-July 2022

Well maintained home, very clean with fantastic views. The home is spacious for a larger family and has everything you would need. Just a short drive to Acadia, Ellsworth, and all the harbors. Loved the fire pit in the backyard. We slept with the windows open (screens are in) and loved waking up to the cool breezes off the water. Highly recommend! Thank you and can’t wait to visit your place again soon! One week was too short a visit!

Perfect Place to Get Away

After staying at home since March because of the pandemic, we couldn't have chosen a better place to get away and recharge our batteries. The pictures online don't do the house or its location justice. The beautiful view of the water through the rear windows alone is worth the price. But everything else was great. As other reviewers have mentioned, the house is spotless - something that's extra important during the times we live in. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, and the internet supported 3 people working remotely during the time we were there. I have nothing bad to say. We had one of our best vacations ever in this house. Thank you Wanda and Bill!

A coastal haven in Downeast Maine

Our party of 5 stayed at Goose Cove Cottage for 5 nights in late July/early August to celebrate our special birthdays.The property is in an exceptionally beautiful and peaceful waterfront location near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park — close enough for daily outings but far from the bustling crowds. The cottage is very spacious and clean, certainly the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in. Our group of 2 couples and 1 single person was very comfortable, whether hanging out on the spacious deck overlooking the cove or inside the open plan living area during a rainstorm. We enjoyed using the firepit on a clear evening, just sitting there taking in the gorgeous views as night drew in. The kitchen is well stocked, but we didn’t prepare any dinners there, preferring to dine out at a local lobster pound (the excellent Gateway Lunt’s Lobster Pound, less than a mile away) and in Bar Harbor’s many restaurants. Sugar Bakery is also a short distance from the cottage and is also excellent — they supply to several Bar Harbor establishments. We loved our time at Goose Cove Cottage and would certainly return in future if we plan another Bar Harbor vacation. Highly recommended.

Awesome view. Disappointing experience

The view is exceptional, and the home’s features were mostly as advertised. However, the stay was impacted by excessive reminders, like notes about removing shoes and labels on nearly everything. Additionally, despite the $1,000 per night rate, basic amenities like toilet paper were limited, which detracted from the experience. Vinyl mattress covers and the requirement to wash and dry our towels (in order to earn a good guest rating) before 10am check out just left a bad taste.

Wonderful property!

We stayed here for our family vacation. It was extremely clean, spacious and the views were amazing! We rented kayaks and had them delivered as suggested by the property owners. Our college aged kids enjoyed kayaking in the cove at high tide. The house has well equipped kitchen, gas grill and fire pit. The location is very private and about 20 minutes from Acadia National Park entrance and the village of Bar Harbor. We enjoyed coming home to our rental house each night to enjoy the peacefulness after our daily excursions.

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.
