About this property

Enchanting, Secluded Cottage Close to Bar Harbor, Acadia NP, and Much More

Unwind in cozy and serene surroundings while enjoying numerous creature comforts. A well-maintained and beautifully decorated cape loaded with amenities near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Tucked away on a tranquil wooded lot, yet a short distance to any desired location both on and off Mt Desert Island. Choose from an abundance of exciting, exhilarating, and entertaining activities during the day. Then later, relax and rejuvenate in peace and quiet.

Watch a movie on a 50 inch plasma TV, read a book, play a game, surf the net, or sit on the deck and chat with a cold drink in hand. Close to the Chamber of Commerce's Bar Harbor Area Information & Acadia Welcome Center, lobster pounds, gas stations, grocery store, restaurants, Bar Harbor Airport, etc. A great starting point to access any location on Mt Desert Island, Ellsworth, or Schoodic Point. Has three bedrooms, 2 full baths, a huge deck with grill, gazebo and picnic table. No smoking anywhere on the property & no pets, please.

Check out our sister property, Oak Point Cottage (listing number 3975564).

Guest Comments : ...thanks for your place. It was wonderful. Just perfect for me and my family…It really hit the spot overall...we really unwound and found time for Bar Harbor, the west side of the island, Ellsworth, the lumber jack show, golf, kayaking, whale watching…, hiking in the park….we loved it and hope to return again in the future. Thanks again for making it possible.----

Guest Comments : We just returned from our vacation to Maine a few days ago—wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Goose Cove Cottage! It was even more than we expected….I don’t think I told you before the trip: my parents’ favorite vacation spot has always been Maine, but because of their age, they haven’t been back to Acadia National Park for over 10 years; so we put together this family trip so my folks could return there, and the cottage turned out to be the perfect spot for us. Thank you—

Guest Comments : Wow - what a lovely home! We had a great time - thank you so much. Everyone commented on the comfortable beds, lovely bedding, beautiful kitchen, and of course we loved the videos and big TV! The house was perfect for us all…we'd love to have stayed longer.----

A Lovely Time in the woods
I am a stained glass worker and enthuiast, so loved all the beautiful lamps in every main room. Also the furniture was super comfortable and well arranged. Walking in the house, i just felt at home. The beds were wonderful and those quilts were beautiful and were color matched to the stained glass lamps. Gazebo was nice but we didn't use due to weather. Kitchen was also nicely stocked. Very pleasant place to stay.

Clean and comfy
We stayed for a week in this perfect location surrounded by Fall trees. It was a perfect home base for hiking, kayaking and exploring this lovely area. The kitchen with full size appliances made it easy to cook as a family. The dining table was perfect for all the board games available. So many movies available to watch but for some reason The Cider House Rules was not one of them. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely located in this quiet setting. Thank you for sharing this wonderful space. Also, June was a great communicator-a phone call or text away.

Outstanding, Quaint Cottage
Goose Cove Cottage is a beautifully decorated, welcoming, well-maintained property. Tucked into the woods, private location close to Bar Harbor and Acadia State Park. Based on price, location and amenities, the cottage is well worth the investment. Can't say enough to describe what a wonderful place it is to stay.

Beautiful home, great location. Quality accommodations.
We had 6 adult women staying at the house. We were exploring Acadia National Park and shopping and food in Bar Harbor and the area. The location is central to getting around to the park, including the "quiet side". Ellsworth is near by for all other needs.

Perfect Cottage outside Bar Harbor
Everything was perfect about this cottage. It was Spacious, clean, well stocked. The location was close enough to drive easily to all of our desired attractions, yet felt remote and very private. The gazebo was perfect for family games. The TV and movies selection was amazing and perfect for rainy days. Kitchen was very well stocked. Internet and Wi-Fi was excellent. Host texted us to see if we needed anything or had any issues. Communication prior to check-in was excellent. Could not have asked for anything more. One of the best aspects of our family trip to Bar Harbor.

Wonderful place to stay
The house is lovely and my family enjoyed our stay while we were visiting Acadia National Park. June was a wonderful host and was very responsive to any questions we had. The bedrooms are spacious and very comfy after long days of hiking. The updated bathrooms are great. And if you are planning on spending time inside there are tons of movies for you to watch. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook meals there. The area around the house has plenty of places to eat and get supplies. If you are looking to go to Bar Harbor, It does takes about 25 minutes, but it is an easy drive.

5th time at the cottage
This is the fifth time that we have rented the cottage. The rental is very convenient and clean. The amenities are top notch. We tend to eat in a lot and the kitchen is well stocked ,with everything and anything to prepare meals. It has been 12 years since we have been back to the cottage and the outdoor screen house was a welcome addition. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to stay in the Bar Habor area. Hope to be back sooner than later....

Cozy Cottage in the Woods
The cottage was in a good location for us, close to the park but not in the "busyness" of Bar Harbor. The kitchen had everthing we needed to prepare our meals, and the beds were all super comfy.

Close to Acadia
We had a great stay at this property and it was within easy traveling distance by car to many attractions both on and off of Mt Desert Island. The house was well furnished and immaculately kept. Beds were incredibly comfortable and big! We had a little difficulty with Vacasa sending us the entry code but our host June was very helpful with solving that issue. We would definitely stay her again!

Great stay - highly recommended!
This cottage is just as described. Best beds we've ever had in a vacation rental - very comfortable with quality linens. Kitchen fully equipped with everything you would need. Private and quiet surroundings, yet handy to all of Acadia National Park and the Downeast areas. Hostess was always available and very helpful with any questions we had. Nice-sized yard with screened gazebo as well as a good-sized deck. Lots of DVDs, books, and games for rainy days. A great space for small or larger groups looking for a comfortable, roomy place to call home while exploring the coast of Maine.

Charming cottage in a good location
This is a charming cottage in a great location for getting around in the area. The beds are comfortable (so important) and everything we needed was provided and more. The owner goes above and beyond with hospitality and being easy to reach. The price can't be beat for what you get and location, and there is a bakery with great coffee just down the road. Not far from grocery stores and restaurants. Near Mt. Desert Island and all there is to do there and in other directions as well.

Beautiful Home, Great Property Manager
This cottage is absolutely lovely. Our stay was short but the property manager was prompt and responsive. The bedrooms are large, the home is well maintained and feels warm and welcoming. We had great weather for our stay so we were mostly on hikes and taking in the Acadia scenery. Kitchen was well stocked with the essentials and the beds were comfortable. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you for the great memories.

About the host

Hosted by June Creamer

Host profile image
Before my family moved to Bar Harbor in the late 60's, I have vivid memories of life at the lobster pound that my father and uncle shared ownership of in Sorrento, Maine. Many hours were spent with my siblings scouring the seashore for driftwood, sea glass, and shells, digging up clams, looking for crabs under seaweed at low tide, and exploring tide pools. We grew up with a love of nature and particularly the ocean. Many of my adult years were spent working in Bar Harbor as well as exploring Mt Desert and some of the surrounding islands. After the family business located in Bar Harbor was sold in 2000, we moved to the mid-West where I presently live. But, I am drawn back to this region several times a year to enjoy the unique beauty of Acadia and to experience once again the sights, sounds, and smells associated with the Atlantic ocean.
