By car, our cottage is approx:

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, 3 pharmacies, a 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 the 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 nice part of this small city with an old-fashioned downtown with some interesting shops and restaurants.
You'll find restaurants along both sides of Main Street. The Union River Lobster Pot is just over the bridge and nestled along the river just behind Rooster Brothers specialty foods store & has excellent seafood. There are also some chain restaurants along Route 3 in Ellsworth.

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.

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!

My family and I loved coming back to the peaceful and relaxing location while exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. My family of 4 had plenty of space to spread out and everything was very clean and well-kept.

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!

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!

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.

Pros: Incredible sunset views of the bay Very clean Well stocked kitchen A/C in both bedrooms (listing is not accurate) Cons: The well water for the cottage is salty and undrinkable. Owners should state this in listing and contract, and not just admit that it's a problem in the instructions located on the property. At a minimum leave a gallon of drinking water until renters can get to the store The beds in twin room are only suitable for small children. The matresses are worn out and the ancient bed springs are not a typical modern box spring.They are extremely uncomfortable for an adult. We wanted to use one of the twin beds as my spouse has restless leg syndrome, and ended up having to put the mattress on the floor in the living room. There is an extensive construction project at the property that shares the driveway. This wasnt disclosed to us until 2 months before our arrival, and project was clearly started way before then. No chance at that point to find another place for 4th of July week. Fortunately the neighbors were very considerate about letting us know when the driveway way going to be blocked for deliveries of materials.
