About this property

Waterfront Cottage ~ Acadia National Park - Gorgeous Sunsets!

Newly renovated in 2026!

2 Bed, 2 Bath Waterfront Cottage with water views from every room, new appliances (Stove, Fridge, Dishwasher, Washer, Dryer), new windows, flooring, and finishes throughout.

Acadia Bayside Cottage is a very clean, private, and well-maintained cottage steps to the shore, with lots of light and warmth, and amazing water views from every room!

4 Heat pump/AC units (one in each bedroom and two in common areas), two gas fireplace stoves for colder weather; two bedrooms (King, and Queen), each with an adjacent bathroom. Kitchen, dining room with water views. Spacious Sunroom with Games and a Smart Roku TV where guests may log into their own streaming or cable service accounts.

Enjoy watching the tide come and go from the Outdoor decks and stone garden with outdoor seating.

Acadia Bayside Cottage is nestled beside a grove of tall pines. Relax on the bluff overlooking the bay. Witness seals, bald eagles, blue heron and osprey from the cottage. Peaceful and private, yet close to all area amenities of the Acadia region.

By car, our cottage is approximately:

10 min to seafood restaurants/lobster pounds just off Route 3 in Trenton along the route you'd follow onto Mount Desert Island (MDI).

10 min to the head of Mount Desert Island which is an area known as the Town Hill section of Bar Harbor.

20 min to the main Acadia National Park entrance and Hulls Cove Visitor's Center.

25 min to downtown Bar Harbor where there are many restaurants & shops, pharmacies, movie theater, grocery stores, and much more.

Many hiking & biking trails are within a 20-30 min drive. (trails and carriage roads can be accessed all over Mount Desert Island)

10 min to Ellsworth - where you'll find restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, pharmacies, Walmart, TJ Maxx, L.L. Bean, and other stores. Main Street in Ellsworth, which leads down to a small bridge & river, is a walkable part of this downtown with interesting shops and restaurants.

You'll find restaurants along both sides of Main Street. The Union River Lobster Pot (excellent sea food!) is just over the Union River bridge and nestled alongside the river with indoor and outdoor seating.

Really loved the location! The views were gorgeous, we were close to Bar Harbor but far enough away to enjoy some of the other small towns in the area. The home is very nice, well equipped with supplies and very clean. Would not hesitate to visit again, one of the best places we have stayed!

The views were amazing! The host emailed access prior to our arrival and home was very clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property was fairly close to Arcadia and easy to get to. Host was very responsive to our one issue that was weather related. I would definitely recommend this property for for a vacation!

We truly enjoyed our stay on the beautiful bay watching the tides come and go! The cottage was perfect for two couples and we loved all of the different seating areas and enjoyed the fire pit on the beach a couple of evenings after dinner! Thank you, Doug for everything and we would definitely love to come back! A lovely break from the Texas heat! Every detail was so appreciated!

Family vacation

We loved staying at this property. So much wildlife right in your back yard. As a family of 4 we were very comfortable in his home. Acadia was a quick drive away and with this home not being on the main road it made getting around easy.

Awesome views!

My family of four stayed at the Waterfront Cottage for our family vacation. It was wonderful! It had a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds, AWESOME views of the water, and provided a peaceful place to retreat to after a busy day in Acadia or Bar Harbor. Communication with the host was seamless as well. We had a wonderful time

Relaxing getaway to Maine

The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Hosts were great, communication was easy and instructions were given prior to arrival. They also provided many amenities. Our favorite part was the gorgeous view of the bay with stunning sunsets. Kids enjoyed playing in the water and exploring the rocks. We enjoyed making a fire on the beach while watching the sunset over the water. Great location, quiet area. Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia and Ellesworth. Hoping to stay again in the future!

Picturesque and cozy!

We had an amazing 5 days at the cottage and we loved everything about it. That included proximity to Acadia NP and Ellsworth for dining. We saw loons, eagles, and cormorants from the cozy sunroom, and totally enjoyed our rainy day mid-rental. Thanks to Kim and Doug for a wonderful time!

Great location!

My husband and I stayed in this lovely cottage while our daughter was away for the week at camp. This was a perfect location to get in some work during the day and explore the area in the afternoon and evening - All the hikes we wanted to try and some great restaurants were no more than 15-20 minutes away. It would have been a great location if our daughter was with us too as the shoreline offered a lot for a child to explore.

Cottage on the bay

Description accurate , convenient location to Ellsworth- close to some very good restaurants, not too far from Acadia for hiking and Bar Harbor for restaurants and shopping. Quaint cottage on the water with great sunsets. Equipped with everything you need. Loved sitting on the deck!

Perfect Escape in Nature

Our family had the best week staying at Doug and Kim's house. Our children loved playing outside, picking wildflowers, and walking along the shore. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets on the deck and spent as much time as possible in the sunroom. It was only a short drive to Acadia National Park, the grocery store, and several great spots for lobster. We hope to visit again!

Pics don’t do it justice

Spent a week here while our kids were at sleepaway camp and it was a perfect spot. We heard a coyote, loons and owls and saw ospreys regularly. So close to Acadia. Highly recommend and lovely owners. Only advice - don’t work remotely like we did - take the full vacation!

Relaxing & Loving it at Bayside Cottage!

The bayside cottage was all we hoped it would be!! So quiet and peaceful. Loved that the cottage was near the water and far from the road. Gorgeous sunsets and views!! I loved the kitchen and found it extra Well appointed. I was able to bake to my heart’s content! Evening we enjoyed grilling and eating by the water. Tons of room to spread out. Living room and sunroom were fabulous!

Amazing stay!

Such an amazing week staying at this spot. The house and area is exactly as described, and the views over the water are incredible. The sun room/extra living room is so relaxing to have the fire going and look out the large windows. Very safe area as well. The hosts are very helpful and available. It’s only a short <30 min drive to bar harbor and the beginning of Acadia which we drove most mornings and it’s a very easy drive with nice views as well. Ellsworth is also only a few minute drive away which we occasional got for dinner if we didn’t want to fight the bar harbor downtown traffic. 10/10 recommend staying here on your next visit!

The cottage was everything we hoped for and more! It was about 30–40 minutes to most Acadia trailheads, which ended up being perfect. There were great coffee stops along the way and the views during the drive were beautiful. At the end of the day, we loved coming back to the quiet and peaceful setting away from the hustle of Bar Harbor.The location near Ellsworth was another big plus. It was less than 10 minutes to town for groceries, restaurants, and a little exploring. The cottage itself was spotless, well-equipped, and had the most amazing views. We spotted seals, a bald eagle, and even a few deer during our stay!The outdoor area was wonderful for our family, especially having space for our toddler to play while we relaxed. Doug and Kim were such thoughtful and kind hosts, very communicative and helpful. We’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy, scenic, and family-friendly getaway! We will absolutely be staying here again.

Excellent stay

Beautiful setting and property! 30 mins to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. House was very nicely furnished and clean with everything we needed to season, cook, clean and just enjoy the location! West facing for sunsets over the water. Bird watching was good. Master bed was very comfy. 2 fire stoves were comfy as well. Decks! I just can’t say enough nice things. Don’t hesitate. Just book it and enjoy. We sure did. Thanks so much!

This cottage is superb!

It was hard to leave this idyllic cottage, not only at the end of our stay, but every day we went exploring. I often thought how we could not explore anything and just stay at the cottage all day, every day. From watching the sunrise across the water, to the sunset in the evening everything was wonderful! The views are the best part of this place. Right on the water, amazingly peaceful. The sunsets were spectacular!! As for the cottage, it was wonderful. Everything was clean, updated, and nicely appointed. Three decks allowed you to enjoy the views. We spent most of our time in the sunroom with high ceiling and a fan and walls of windows, it was the perfect spot to watch the sunset and hang with the family playing a board game at night. The cottage is close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park where we spent a lot of our time exploring. There is so much to do in the area and so many amazing restaurants, we will definitely be back! Our hosts Kim and Doug were great. Communicated when we needed it, but gave us space to enjoy our stay. They were super organized and you wanted for nothing at the cottage. If you are on the fence, please rest assured you do not need to be. This place is everything it presents in the description and photos and 10x more! It is a WINNER! Thanks again Kim and Doug, we will return!

Wonderful property!

We loved our time at the waterfront cottage. The sunsets over the water were beautiful, and there were multiple options to enjoy the view - two decks and chairs to move around the yard. Our boys (ages 14 and 11) spent hours skipping rocks and exploring the shoreline. Observing the differences on the shoreline between high and low tides was neat. We never did make use of the fire-pit, but that would have been fun. The house was very clean with everything we needed for our 5 day visit. The kitchen was well-stocked with the essentials to make meals. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a few of the many games available for use, and there were also plenty of movies and CDs to choose from. Communication from the owners was excellent. We used the cottage as a base to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was an easy 20-30 minute drive. We went into Ellsworth (10 mins) for groceries, and had several meals in Ellsworth and Trenton (also about 10 mins). Although Bar Harbor is a beautiful town and closer to Acadia (our primary purpose for the visit), we preferred to stay in the more peaceful setting of the waterfront cottage. The house next door appeared to be under renovation, but there was no one doing work during our visit. We couldn't have asked for a better location for our first visit to Maine.
