About this property

Enchanting, Secluded Cottage Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP, and Much More

Unwind in cozy and serene surroundings while enjoying numerous creature comforts. A well-maintained and beautifully decorated cape loaded with amenities near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Tucked away on a tranquil wooded lot, yet a short distance to any desired location both on and off Mt Desert Island. Choose from an abundance of exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining activities during the day. Then later, relax and rejuvenate in peace and quiet.

Watch a movie on a 50 inch plasma TV, read a book, play a game, surf the net, or sit on the deck and chat with a cold drink in hand. Close to the Chamber of Commerce's Bar Harbor Area Information & Acadia Welcome Center, lobster pounds, gas stations, grocery store, restaurants, Bar Harbor Airport, etc. A great starting point to access any location on Mt Desert Island, Ellsworth, or Schoodic Point. Has three bedrooms, 2 full baths, a huge deck with grill, gazebo and picnic table. No smoking anywhere on the property & no pets, please.

Guest Comments : ...thanks for your place. It was wonderful. Just perfect for me and my family…It really hit the spot overall...we really unwound and found time for Bar Harbor, the west side of the island, Ellsworth, the lumber jack show, golf, kayaking, whale watching…, hiking in the park….we loved it and hope to return again in the future. Thanks again for making it possible.----

Guest Comments : We just returned from our vacation to Maine a few days ago—wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Goose Cove Cottage! It was even more than we expected….I don’t think I told you before the trip: my parents’ favorite vacation spot has always been Maine, but because of their age, they haven’t been back to Acadia National Park for over 10 years; so we put together this family trip so my folks could return there, and the cottage turned out to be the perfect spot for us. Thank you—

Guest Comments : Wow - what a lovely home! We had a great time - thank you so much. Everyone commented on the comfortable beds, lovely bedding, beautiful kitchen, and of course we loved the videos and big TV! The house was perfect for us all…we'd love to have stayed longer.----

Ideal location for visiting Acadia NP including the Bar Harbor side, the Southwest side and Schoodic Peninsula. Nice distance from the crowds in Bar Harbor. The most fully equipped kitchen we have had. June was very helpful with advanced planning ideas and communication with her throughout the trip was prompt and clear. Our family of 5 adults had plenty of room. Absolutely recommend!

Everything you could want or need for a great vacation!!

June your home was lovely. You saw to everything we could possibly need or want and more. The location was perfect and your directions got us there easily. We had dinner one night in the cazabo. Acadia is so beautiful!! We experienced a sunrise and a sunset. Of course the lobster was amazing. We would definitely recommend your cottage to anyone headed there. Also, thank you for the most generous welcome basket we have ever receieved.

Wonderful home away from home

Our first reaction of the home was that the pictures online do not do it justice. It is deceptively larger, well stocked, and cleaner than the pictures are able to capture. The beds and furniture are more comfortable than any vacation home we have ever stayed at. June was amazing to work with and showed so much care in ensuring we have everything we needed. Our other family members chose a different waterfront property which was not as clean, cozy, or updated. They kept coming over here to visit us in the evenings because our place was so much better. As the other reviewers mention, the location is pleasantly secluded but very convenient to local points of interest. We did everything from Acadia National Park hiking, to whale and puffin tours from Bar Harbor, to movie night in the park! This far exceeded our expectations and hopes. Best vacation ever! Thank you mo much June!!!

A great place to stay and close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor

We enjoyed our stay at Goose Cottage Cove. It was very clean, well decorated and cozy. The directions were easy to follow and the owner was very good about making sure we had no problem finding it. When we arrived there was a beautiful basket full of goodies from the area. It is in a beautiful woody setting and close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was a great week for leaf peeping. We enjoyed the Bar Harbor Nature Cruise and the National Park Cruise. Also the shore path is a beautiful walk and not too far. When the tide went out we were able to walk the Bar Island Path. There are many great restaurants in the area. Side street Café and the Chart Room were very good. If you don't want to travel into Bar Harbor the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound had great lobster. One day we travelled about an hour away to Prospect, Maine and went to Penobscot Narrows Bridge and Observatory and Historic Fort Knox. That is a must see. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it. Such a beautiful area!

The cottage was beautiful and well-situated. It was easy to access the island, as well as points on the mainland. We did one provisioning in Ellsworth on the way in. After that, Edwards Market, Lunts Lobster Pound and a bakery with great blueberry pies -- all within a five-minute drive -- made eating in easy. It was a relaxing time for the four of us.

Best house in the woods

Property was amazing. Quiet and peaceful, yet close enough for a quick trip to pick up any needs. Short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The home was beautiful inside and out. Inside, the decor was amazing with very nice designs. It had every amenity you could imagine. The check-in process was fast and simple. The host even had a 6-pack of blueberry soda! (First time having it and I must say, I'd go back again for just the soda) Great communications to make sure we had everything we needed. The check-out was easy with great instructions on what needed to be done. If you are looking for a quiet, close, and beautiful place to stay on your visit to Acadia or sights nearby, this is the place for you!

About the host

Hosted by June Creamer

Host profile image
Before my family moved to Bar Harbor in the late 60's, I have vivid memories of life at the lobster pound that my father and uncle shared ownership of in Sorrento, Maine. Many hours were spent with my siblings scouring the seashore for driftwood, sea glass, and shells, digging up clams, looking for crabs under seaweed at low tide, and exploring tide pools. We grew up with a love of nature and particularly the ocean. Many of my adult years were spent working in Bar Harbor as well as exploring Mt Desert and some of the surrounding islands. After the family business located in Bar Harbor was sold in 2000, we moved to the mid-West where I presently live. But, I am drawn back to this region several times a year to enjoy the unique beauty of Acadia and to experience once again the sights, sounds, and smells associated with the Atlantic ocean.
