About this property

Oceanfront Cottage, Near Acadia National Park, Private Beach

Oceanfront cottage with 200 feet of private pebble beach and beautiful view of Western Bay and mountains of Acadia National Park. Situated on 3/4 acre, this cottage is conveniently located in a quiet, wooded setting yet only 10 miles to Acadia National Park and 12 miles to Bar Harbor. Cottage has 2 bedrooms, living room, bath room, open kitchen with all new appliances, and spacious dining area with direct view of the ocean. Enjoy watching the sunrise over the mountains or the beauty of the moonlight on the water. Please be aware that this is a brand new cottage built in 2023-2024 to replace the old cabin we had on this property and to which the reviews refer. We tried to rebuild in the style of the old cabin because we loved it so much, but it was getting difficult to maintain after so many years. The new house has an even better view of the water than the old cabin because it is sited differently. It is fully insulated to Maine building code and has electric heat throughout.


Amenities: Electric heat, wood stove, WIFI. Please No Pets. No Smoking.
Activities: Swim, kayak, walk, bike, or just sit and read a book on the deck or private beach.
Area: Conveniently located between Ellsworth and Bar Harbor, directly on the shore. Dining, shopping, whale watches, nature cruises, hiking or biking in Acadia National Park.

Perfect small cottage with easy stairs down to Goose Cove/MtDesert Narrows. Early morning sunrises over Cadillac mountain, viewed from the deck. Birdwatching heaven. New cabin with a well stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, game, books, maps and guides and Maine artwork. Short and easy drive to Acadia and Mt Desert Island. Responsive hosts who obviously love this gem. A perfect 10. I hope to return someday.

So idyllic!

This one- level cabin meet all of our needs as we explored Arcadia National Park. The space was well stocked and the owners are responsive - couldn't ask for more! It was rainy most of our stay and the cabin was cozy but the view of the water was breath-taking!

Great stay near Acadia

We were very happy with our stay at the Oceanfront cottage. It is a newer house with fabulous views of the mountains and on the water with steps down to a rocky sandy beach. It had everything we needed to prepare meals and was so comfortable and quiet. The house was very clean and well maintained. It was an easy 15-20 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I would stay here again if we are in the area.

Beautiful setting

We had a wonderful time on the Bay! After time hiking and exploring Acadia and nearby sights it was great to settling into this quiet spot and watch the tides and see the wildlife. The kitchen is well appointed and we had everything we needed to cook good meals. When an unexpected noreaster came through late in the season the owner helped us to prep incase of a power outage. We gratefully did not have that occur, but it was comforting to be prepared. Great clean and well appointed space and we want to come back sometime.

A perfect week in Maine

The house was very well appointed, and the view could not be beat. We haven’t been to the area in 20+ years and we had an excellent trip. Hiking and biking at Acadia, great dinners in Bar Harbor, SW Harbor and NE Habor. We went over to Great Cranberry enjoyed the boat ride and a couple of hikes on the island. Bar Harbor is a very happening town, and it was nice to get away at times to the cabin by the shore for a peaceful escape. Would highly recommend this little piece of heaven.

Exactly what we wanted

The cabin was perfect. So much attention was made to detail and comfort. A lot of supplies were there with the only request to replace something if you used the last of an item. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need .Great proximity to Acadia Nat'l Park, Bangor (There is a fantastic Transportation Museum there). Views were so beautiful from the deck. Enjoyed very much

Heaven in Trenton!

The cabin was all we hoped for and more! It truly was a little piece of heaven! Pictures can be deceiving, but not in this case! It is a private, beautifully furnished and very well stocked cabin. The owners thought of everything, and were very easy to communicate with! It was close to everything we wanted to do, but honestly it was difficult to even leave the cabin, it’s that perfect! We will definitely plan another trip to Acadia and we can’t think of a better place to stay! Thank you Patricia!

About the host

Hosted by Robert and Patricia Banach

Host profile image
Bob and Pat are recently retired. Pat was a librarian and Bob worked in the insurance industry. We enjoy sharing our special place in Maine with guests. We have owned, managed, and rented this property since 1987. In 2023/24 we razed our beloved cabin and built a new small house which captures the charm of a Maine cabin. We use this cottage ourselves as do our adult children. This is not a bare bones rental, but one we share with those who are seeking a quiet Maine experience. Because we use the cabin ourselves, we hope it has all the amenities you need.

Why they chose this property

We love the peace and quiet on our 200 feet of private beach. We love the view across the bay to the mountains of Acadia National Park. We love watching the sunrise from the bedroom and the living/dining room, and the moon on the water at night. And we love watching to see a glimpse of seals in the bay.

What makes this property unique

Close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor but away from the crowds in a quiet peaceful spot. Also convenient to Ellsworth for dining, grocery shopping and supplies.
