What a perfect location for a family gathering. The house was perfect for eight adults and on 19-month old. Check in was a breeze. The caretaker most helpful. The location ideal. Close enough to Acadia and the wonders of Mt. Desert, but private with great outdoor spaces. We would all highly recommend this beautiful home.

Spectacular property with beautiful views. The communication and instructions were the best ever! The house is immaculate. I highly recommend it.

Privacy plus! Gorgeous westerly views of bay with stunning sunsets. House is spacious, great for big families! Outdoor spaces are lovely. Quick access to MDI. The caretaker was very responsive and a nice guy!

Gorgeous property and a lovely home which made entertaining our group very easy. Kitchen was well equipped and user friendly. Multiple options for indoor and outdoor dining. Beds were all extremely comfortable. Beautiful sunsets every night enjoyed in the 6 adirondack chairs on the lawn. Overall a terrific property

What a dream vacation! Our family of 5 had a phenomenal vacation in this most special place. We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views, the cozy fireplaces and the lovely kitchen. The bedrooms were beautifully done and the beds a divine experience to sleep in. We appreciated all of the attention to detail with the interior design choices and the warmth of the layout. The cleanliness of all areas was pristine and Herb, the home caretaker was a gem. Thank you for opening your home to us and we would be honored to return! This is not a property to be missed if you are thinking of vacationing in the Coastal Maine MDI area!!!!!

This property is everything you could ask for in a vacation rental. The setting is private, peaceful and beautiful. You can appreciate the lovely water views from most rooms in the house. The house is very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Light switches are labeled and there are thoughtful touches all around, like the welcome note and gift, and extra toiletries in the bathroom. Patrick was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Herb was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the area. We had a wonderful visit and would love to return.

We really enjoyed our time at your home - beautiful.! The caretaker Herb is a gem. Thank you for your hospitality.

Everything from reservation to check out was perfect. Patrick and Robin were very attentive and responsive hosts and the property is beautiful.

We stayed at Bayside Manor for our first post-COVID family reunion, bringing together 3 generations for a week of exploring Mount Desert Island, hiking in Acadia, and enjoying the absolutely stunning views. The house was ample for our group of 4 families (including an infant and 2 children), with room for us all to eat together or separately, multiple sitting areas, an expansive lawn and tree swing for the kids, and a fabulous kitchen for cooking meals for a group. There's a large main floor bedroom (as well as a 1/2 bath on the main floor), and 3 bedrooms + 2 full bathrooms upstairs; there's also a laundry room upstairs. The master bedroom & bath are HUGE - our family of 4 could have easily shared it rather than putting the kids in their own room. The house had everything we needed for our stay, and the furnishings were the ideal mix of elegant and comfortable (think upscale modern farmhouse). The grounds and location are amazing. We went paddle boarding behind the house - and would have kayaked if the weather had cooperated! - and found the distance from Acadia NP just perfect. It's a short 20-25 minute drive to Bar Harbor and the park, and going from the crowds of Acadia to the serene solitude of the house was a delight. We've stayed at many VRBOs, and this was by far the most beautiful location we visited. The owner (Patrick & Robin) and caretaker (Herb) were accessible, helpful, and made every aspect of the trip easy. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Our family of four enjoyed the loveliest week in Patrick and Robin's lovely home in Trenton. The home sits on a wonderfully private spot overlooking Union River Bay and, as a result, has front row seats to the most gorgeous sunsets in Maine. Our family found this comfortable home very clean, well appointed, and perfect for relaxation and holiday-making. There are are ample, comfortable outdoor spaces to enjoy the lawn, beach, and views. The beds are very comfortable (we slept so well!) with very good linens. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and had everything we needed. Herb, the caretaker, was very helpful during out stay. The location really could not be better--close enough to MDI to enjoy all of its charms but far enough away from the tourist hustle to enjoy the quiet, simplicity that Maine offers. We hope to be back. This may just be one of our favorite corners of Maine. Thank you Patrick and Robin!

Our group of seven enjoyed our stay at this 4-bedroom home which accommodated us comfortably. We loved watching the sunset every night through the large sliding doors. There were plenty of seats on the deck and around the fire pit. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook, including all the tools for lobsters, which we took advantage of one night. Included in our party was a dog, and we appreciated all the dog amenities including bowls and towels. Highly recommended!
