About this property

Oceanfront Cottage, Near Acadia National Park, Private Beach

Oceanfront cottage with 200 feet of private pebble beach and beautiful view of Western Bay and mountains of Acadia National Park. Situated on 3/4 acre, this cottage is conveniently located in a quiet, wooded setting yet only 10 miles to Acadia National Park and 12 miles to Bar Harbor. Cottage has 2 bedrooms, living room, bath room, open kitchen with all new appliances, and spacious dining area with direct view of the ocean. Enjoy watching the sunrise over the mountains or the beauty of the moonlight on the water. Please be aware that this is a brand new cottage built in 2023-2024 to replace the old cabin we had on this property and to which the reviews refer. We tried to rebuild in the style of the old cabin because we loved it so much, but it was getting difficult to maintain after so many years. The new house has an even better view of the water than the old cabin because it is sited differently. It is fully insulated to Maine building code and has electric heat throughout.

Amenities: Electric heat, wood stove, WIFI. Please No Pets. No Smoking.
Activities: Swim, kayak, walk, bike, or just sit and read a book on the deck or private beach.
Area: Conveniently located between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor, directly on the shore. Dining, shopping, whale watches, nature cruises, hiking or biking in Acadia National Park.

Lovely and relaxing cottage with spectacular views. The Banach’s concern during the heat wave was appreciated, but the cottage stayed cool and breezy. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. All amenities were as described. A relaxing and quiet week.

Great stay near Acadia

We were very happy with our stay at the Oceanfront cottage. It is a newer house with fabulous views of the mountains and on the water with steps down to a rocky sandy beach. It had everything we needed to prepare meals and was so comfortable and quiet. The house was very clean and well maintained. It was an easy 15-20 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I would stay here again if we are in the area.

Beautiful setting

We had a wonderful time on the Bay! After time hiking and exploring Acadia and nearby sights it was great to settling into this quiet spot and watch the tides and see the wildlife. The kitchen is well appointed and we had everything we needed to cook good meals. When an unexpected noreaster came through late in the season the owner helped us to prep incase of a power outage. We gratefully did not have that occur, but it was comforting to be prepared. Great clean and well appointed space and we want to come back sometime.

We had a wonderful stay at the Banach cottage from May 31-June 7, 2025 to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! Everything was clean and comfortable and as described online. We especially enjoyed being on the water and watching the eagles, gulls, loons, and seals directly out from the front deck. Luckily for us, the weather was nearly perfect with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the 50s and 60s. We had one minor issue that was out of anyone's control, but the owners went above and beyond to address this very quickly.During the stay, we saw both the sunrise and sunset on Cadillac Mtn, ate at Jordan Pond, stopped at nearly all of the points of interest in Acadia, hiked Raven's Nest and the Schoodic Peninsula, went whale watching, and even took a day-trip to Lubec, Campobello, and St. Andrews, NB. Not to mention all of the shopping and lobster rolls in and around Bar Harbor! Needless to say, it was wonderful to have such a great (and quiet) place to come back to every evening after such long days :).We would 100% stay here again should our travels bring us back to Downeast Maine. Thank you to the Banach's for building and maintaining such a perfect cottage in a perfect location. It helped create many memories for both of us!

Exactly what we wanted

The cabin was perfect. So much attention was made to detail and comfort. A lot of supplies were there with the only request to replace something if you used the last of an item. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need .Great proximity to Acadia Nat'l Park, Bangor (There is a fantastic Transportation Museum there). Views were so beautiful from the deck. Enjoyed very much

Heaven in Trenton!

The cabin was all we hoped for and more! It truly was a little piece of heaven! Pictures can be deceiving, but not in this case! It is a private, beautifully furnished and very well stocked cabin. The owners thought of everything, and were very easy to communicate with! It was close to everything we wanted to do, but honestly it was difficult to even leave the cabin, it’s that perfect! We will definitely plan another trip to Acadia and we can’t think of a better place to stay! Thank you Patricia!

Perfect Maine Vacation

Despite the weather being a bit rainy and foggy most days, we still had a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect. We were able to explore the beach during low tide and go kayaking when the weather was good. It is a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor with lots of excellent lobster pounds nearby. We had such a great time.

Very Special Place!

My daughter and I loved our stay at this perfectly rustic cabin! It was a wonderful place to call "home" while we hiked Acadia and explored Bar Harbor. We loved the peaceful view of the ocean while eating on the front porch or reading on the deck. We appreciated the cleanliness and amenities, especially the electric heaters for the cool nights. Bob and Pat were excellent hosts making our check-in/check-out process easy and providing great tips for things to do around the area!

Perfect Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is excellent; close to a supermarket and restaurant with easy access to Acadia National Park, island towns, and Bar Harbor. The view from the dining area of the cottage can’t be beat. We spent a lot of time taking it in. With a well appointed kitchen, we were also able to prepare meals when we did not want to go out. This was our second stay here and we would most definitely stay again!

A cosy, peaceful coastal getaway

We just loved this cottage! Acadia is so busy in summer, but coming « home » to this cottage was so relaxing. I spent lots of time inside relaxing, reading and drawing, and outside gazing at the water and looking at rocks and shells. It’s a perfect retreat for a simple person like me. I loved the « camp » feeling and cosy wood everywhere. Thank you for letting us stay!

Beautiful spot near Acadia. Comfortable and cozy waterfront cabin.

Great overall experience. Saw seals and loons in the bay. Made good use of the wood burning stove as the nights were still chilly during our visit. Our 1 suggestion would be to add a lounger or another form of comfortable seating in the main living area. The cabin was very well equipped and is in a nice quite area away from the Bar Harbor crowds.

Maine Beachfront Getaway

My wife and I had a very relaxing week at the cabin. Great location -- we enjoyed the easy access to Mt. Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Schoodic Peninsula. Short distance to stores and restaurants but still quiet and peaceful. Lots of birds around and the turkeys patrolling the yard were particularly amusing. Kitchen had everything we needed, the wood stove was nice on cool nights, and the bed was comfortable. Great view from the sunporch and deck and easy stairs to the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Patricia Banach

Bob and Pat are recently retired. Pat was a librarian and Bob worked in the insurance industry. We enjoy sharing our special place in Maine with guests. We have owned, managed, and rented this property since 1987. In 2023/24 we razed our beloved cabin and built a new small house which captures the charm of a Maine cabin. We use this cottage ourselves as do our adult children. This is not a bare bones rental, but one we share with those who are seeking a quiet Maine experience. Because we use the cabin ourselves, we hope it has all the amenities you need.

Why they chose this property

We love the peace and quiet on our 200 feet of private beach. We love the view across the bay to the mountains of Acadia National Park. We love watching the sunrise from the bedroom and the living/dining room, and the moon on the water at night. And we love watching to see a glimpse of seals in the bay.

What makes this property unique

Close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor but away from the crowds in a quiet peaceful spot. Also convenient to Ellsworth for dining, grocery shopping and supplies.
