About this house rental
Bookings for this home are now facilitated by The Knowles Company, a reputable agency located right on Mt. Desert Island for more than 120 years.
Mill Cove is the perfect spot for a family summer getaway. You’ll relax as soon as you pull into the driveway and see the water’s edge welcoming you home. Located on the Union River Bay in Trenton, the house is a 10-minute drive (6 miles) from the head of Mount Desert Island. Escape the summer heat on the water, kayak and swim in front of the house, and cozy up to the fire pit in the evening as you watch the sunset over the bay - all while being able to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, just a short drive away. Ellsworth’s historic Main Street for shopping and dining is close by too!
FIRST FLOOR: The kitchen looks out to the dining area and living room with water views, with plenty of counters and cabinet space to prepare family meals. Master bedroom with King bed has an en-suite private bath with walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Two other bedrooms, both with Double beds, share a full bath with a walk-in shower. Deck off the dining area for easy access to the grill. A large sun porch provides lots of natural light with pretty views of the water.
LOWER LEVEL: Open, unfinished basement providing space for games and storage. Ping-pong table. Access to the front lawn and water.
OUTDOOR SPACES: Large lawn wraps around the home on all sides. The water side of the house has a firepit, picnic table, and cornhole lawn game. Two kayaks are available for tenant use with adult-sized life jackets.

We enjoyed this house as a location from which to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was close enough to these locations while not being right in the crowds. A peaceful location with a nice view. The inside of the house was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable.

This home had everything we needed and more. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table and kayaks. The location is perfect for shopping in Elllsworth and hiking in Acadia. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a two week stay. My family enjoyed the home and that it was located on a cove with kayaks. When we did venture out to site see the grandchildren couldn’t wait to get back to the property to play outside and explore the cove. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Maine.

The house was absolutely amazing! The view, the cleanliness and the comforting beds made it one of the best vacation homes we have ever stayed in! The owners left nothing out to enable us to enjoy our first Maine trip without any hiccups. Highly recommend this home - plus to be able to bring our sweet 14 year old cockapoo was a huge plus!

What a wonderful home! This was a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving with our family. Immaculate, well stocked, and perfectly appointed. We woke to spectacular views each morning. The flowers and bottle of wine left for us were an unexpected appreciated treat! We would definitely recommend this house and would stay again.

This home far surpassed our expectations! From the moment we stepped inside and saw the stunning Union Bay view through the bay window, we were beyond pleased. The home has a split bedroom layout and is extremely clean. During the day we explored Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. In the evening we sat around the campfire looking over the bay with an abundance of fall foliage reflecting off the water. We recommend this home to everyone.
Thank you for sharing your home!

Our first time to Acadia so I was a bit nervous about the location. It was perfect-easy to get to Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor and everywhere else. The location was lovely-private, gorgeous views, very serene.
The house was perfect-good sized bedrooms, super fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds & furniture. Screened porch so pleasant, an entire unfinished basement with ping pong table and extra fridge.
It was extremely hot in Maine the week we visited. Luckily, most rooms have ceiling fans, including all bedrooms. Plus a few extra. Also nights cooled down to the mid to high 60s so comfortable sleeping.
We enjoyed taking dips in the cove at high tide, watching herons and even seagulls. The water view is very visible from the house, true eye candy.
We were able to have an active trip to Acadia National Park, hiking a number of trails, visiting Sandy Beach and freshwater Echo Lake were refreshing. Ate lobster just about every day (Riddick’s in Southwest Harbor was our favorite).
Thank you to the owners and property management team for providing an excellent vacation spot!

November stay
This place was amazing!! We stayed back in November and unfortunately was too cold to really use the outdoor area during the evening (which definitely makes this place even better) but would 100% come back. The house itself is perfect and the kitchen/ living area was so clean. Would recommend to everyone!

Wonderful stay! Beautiful views!
We loved our stay. The house is very clean and spacious. The icing on the cake? The private shoreline just in front of the house. Our kids spent hours throwing rocks in the water!
The house is ideally located, perfect if you want to explore Acadia NP. And close to lots of shops and amenities.
Highly recommend !

Beautifully Relaxing
The experience was excellent! Very professional when booking. Very accommodating when I forgot to tell them my parents and brother decided to come after we booked it haha Very clean, absolutely gorgeous, and the views were spectacular!! We will rent this again for sure because it was just far enough out to be relaxing but close enough to Acadia and Abarth Harbor, where we love to go for attractions. It wasn't more than a 25 minute drive. Worth every penny!

Enchanting View
My husband and I loved our stay here! It was just 30 min to basically anywhere in Acadia National Park - so we were able to do the drive easily each day. Then we spent every evening setting up a fire in the backyard and watching the sun set over the water. The backyard view was INCREDIBLE!!!
Inside, the house was great and simple. Our favorite was the view out the living room window. Definitely recommend this place!

Marvelous Maine Escape
The house at Mill Cove was perfect. It felt like our own home away from home instantly. The view of the ocean was picturesque and made us want to hang around the house our entire trip! The lobster cookware that was provided was awesome. We made fresh bought lobsters and it was a fun experience to cook them ourselves. Also, the owners provided kayaks and it was so much fun to kayak in the bay. We were only 30 minutes from Bar Harbor which was a beautiful town to explore. Mill Cove was everything we needed, thank you so much! We look forward to returning someday!

Great week at a lovely home!
Great property; so well appointed, clean, and comfortable. New appliances, tons of supplies, clean and uncluttered. Feels like the owners have thought of everything and provided it! Easy location to go into Ellsworth for supplies or head into Mt Desert Island, which was amazing. Very quiet, lovely view and setting, and family friendly. Our kids had a great time climbing and playing on the rocky beach at low tide (not really possible for true swimming, but figure it would be great for launching kayaks, which they also provided!). We also so appreciated that we could bring our dog. It's hard to find such a high quality rental that allows that. Overall, a lovely spot, and a great location for a family vacation.
