Respite near Acadia

We were fortunate to find Goose Cove Cottage, a relaxing place to unwind while visiting Acadia National Park. This spotless home is very comfortable, the kitchen spacious and easy to work in, with a deck and firepit with water view. The host was very responsive, gave excellent directions; we would definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

Beautiful Family Vacation!

We really enjoyed our time here! It was a beautiful cottage and so centrally located for all of our activities. We enjoyed lots of time in Bar Harbor, Acadia, at the antiques shops towards Bangor and up in Moosehead Lake. It was so nice to be able to spread out, each with our own room, at a cozy home each night. The hosts were very friendly and respectful. Highly recommend!!

Amazing Property

We really enjoyed the property. The setting was so tranquil and inviting. We enjoyed watching the clam fishermen dig for clams in the lake behind the cabin when the tide was out.. A first for these Louisiana folks! It was close enough to all of the Bar Harbor activities we wanted to do yet far enough out to be private and relaxing. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this property if you are considering a trip to the Bar Harbor area!!

Wonderful property!

We stayed here for our family vacation. It was extremely clean, spacious and the views were amazing! We rented kayaks and had them delivered as suggested by the property owners. Our college aged kids enjoyed kayaking in the cove at high tide. The house has well equipped kitchen, gas grill and fire pit. The location is very private and about 20 minutes from Acadia National Park entrance and the village of Bar Harbor. We enjoyed coming home to our rental house each night to enjoy the peacefulness after our daily excursions.

Beautiful home, amazing memories

I recently stayed at a beautiful Vrbo property with a stunning water view, and it was an absolute delight! The house was impeccably clean, making me feel instantly at ease. Every corner was thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. One of the highlights was kayaking right in front of the house and being greeted by playful seals - an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with breathtaking views and unforgettable moments.

Awesome view. Disappointing experience

The view is exceptional, and the home’s features were mostly as advertised. However, the stay was impacted by excessive reminders, like notes about removing shoes and labels on nearly everything. Additionally, despite the $1,000 per night rate, basic amenities like toilet paper were limited, which detracted from the experience. Vinyl mattress covers and the requirement to wash and dry our towels (in order to earn a good guest rating) before 10am check out just left a bad taste.

Fantastic place to get away from it all

We were looking for something off the beaten path that at the same time wasn't too far away from civilization, and that's exactly what we got. The property sits directly off of the water but still has easy access to Acadia, Trenton, and Southeast/Bar Harbor. It was also completely immaculate. Couldn't praise it more, really. Looking forward to more stays in the future.

The property was impeccably clean and well set up. There were a lot of rules to follow while we were staying, but I think this means that people take care of the property well. We barbecued on the deck and had a wonderful time exploring Mount Desert Island.

About the host

Hosted by Wanda Pinkham

Host profile image
Bill is a small business owner and has always shown an interest in Maine's beautiful waterfront properties. We thought building rental cottages would not only be a good investment but they would allow us to enjoy them as a getaway as well.
We have built two cottages since 2004 and have met wonderful people from all over. This is a great way to invest but also enjoy along the way.

Why they chose this property

Bill and I love the ocean and this property was the perfect location for our second rental cottage. It has a great view of Western Bay and Acadia Mountains. There is a lot of wildlife in this area and we enjoy watching the seagulls, ducks, deer and the chipmunks as they visit on occasion. One family who has rented from us twice now...saw a Moose walk along the driveway! No pictures but I keep my eyes open in case he returns while I am there.

What makes this property unique

An outdoor fireplace which is perfect on those quiet summer nights.
