About this property

Coastal butterfly haven, waterview, pets, near Acadia National Park

  • Located steps from the new Acadia Gateway Center. Pick up your park pass right across the street and leave your car if you wish to take the free Island Explorer bus into the park.

    Enjoy a cozy place to kick back after hiking or sightseeing. You'll sleep peacefully out of the noise and traffic of Bar Harbor and wake up just minutes from Acadia National Park, restaurants and shopping. You will have the downstairs unit of a duplex all to yourselves, with your own private entrance.

    Relax on the porch, wander our brookside trail and the organic pollinator-friendly gardens. Keep an eye out for eagles, great blue herons, ducks, foxes and perhaps even a seal! Enjoy our night-time dark skies for breathtaking views of the milky way as you sit around the fire pit.

    Sweeping views of a tidal estuary just steps from the back porch. Kayak and canoe put-in. It is a short paddle from here into Frenchman Bay with gorgeous views of Mount Desert Island. (You can order boats delivered by a local outfit ahead of time and keep them here during your stay.) Volta, an indoor climbing gym, is within walking distance.

    Our garden has been certified as a National Wildlife Foundation native wildlife habitat and a Monarch Waystation. We are also active in our local Project Drawdown and have committed to reduce our carbon footprint. Our electricity and HVAC are powered by solar panels. We use green cleaners and non-toxic shampoo and conditioner. Our energy efficient heat pump has AC for those hot summer days.

    This is a no-smoking facility. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the grounds.

    Pet friendly
    Please inquire if you would like to bring a pet. We provide a dog bed and bowls to welcome your furry companion. There is an additional one-time nonrefundable $200 pet fee collected through the platform at the beginning of your stay.

A beautiful view to witness Acadia Fall colors

My sister and I loved staying here. Barb has thought of everything to make our stay here comfortable. The place was spotless and the furniture was so comfortable including the beds. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying the beautiful view in the mornings and at sunset. A wonderful place all in all!

Riverfield is a lovely Acadia home base

Easy communication with owner on a lovely property just over the bridge from Mount Desert Island. This was our first trip to Maine and Barbara’s Riverfield house helped make it a trip to remember! Very clean, lovely property, magnificent morning coffee views.

We had a lovely stay here while exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was nice to come back in the evenings to somewhere quiet with plenty of room for our family of five. The back deck was a such a treat with a gorgeous water view! Even though it was quite chilly, we sipped our coffee out there in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Barb supplied us with everything we needed, and was gracious enough to mail my daughter's beloved necklace she accidentally left behind. We would definitely stay here again.

Pleasant stay in Trenton!

The House at Riverfield was lovely. Extremely clean and organized. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including beach umbrellas and chairs! The mornings on the porch with our coffee and views of the flowers and Jordan River were amazing. We had great contact with Barb as well. We would definitely stay again.

Friends from CST class of 1980

The property was beautiful and the cabin was quaint and serene. Thank you for such great accommodations. Trenton is close to all the attractions and a stone's throw from Acacia National Park which we frequented often to participate in hikes, biking and watching sunsets.

Barb our host thought of everything for a enjoyable time at her lovely home. Really close to everything. She even gave us some great places to eat local as well in Bar Harbor. On the go from morning to night. Did not get to enjoy the desk or walking down to Jordan River.

Heaven

Barb is wonderful and the house is perfect with everything that you need, including an embracing interior. If you sit on the back veranda from sunrise to sunset you will see a different shade of Monet's The Seine at Giverny; the tidal lake is beautiful as it changes colors, and form, throughout the day. You have quick easy access to Rt 3 and the island. It doesn't get much better and the country road to the house is secluded from Rt 3. The quiet is what the doctor ordered and the short sunrise walks, out through the woods and back to the lake, with my lab were priceless. Thanks Barb and we look forward to seeing you again. John, Julia and Zoey

Great Stay for Acadia vacation!

We travelled to Acadia for 4th of July Weekend. We happened to find this location and it worked out wonderfully! The property is off the main road down a long driveway and very secluded and quiet despite being so close to the highway. It’s right on the Jordan river, which is a ocean inlet and fun to watch the tide and even go explore, if you want. There is a nice porch and fire pit, although we didn’t use it due to exhaustion from hiking. It takes about 25-30 minutes to get anywhere in Acadia, but it’s a very nice drive. The house itself is the lower level of the owners log cabin with separate entrance. We could barely tell she was there. There was a nice couch, TV, WiFi dining table and fully loaded kitchen with spices and everything. She left us a nice snack tray and water cooler for water bottles. The bathroom and bedroom were as described with plenty of towels and blankets. Worked perfectly for our family of six, but would be great for couples, other sized families or friends traveling together. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Thanks for the great accommodations!

Home away from home

My husband and two kids (16, 11) had every thing we needed to feel right at home at this lovely property. After long mornings of hiking at Acadia, we looked forward to lazy evenings relaxing with beautiful views at the house. The well stocked and organized kitchen made it very easy to make breakfasts and dinners so we didnt have to eat out, and we enjoyed playing games and working on puzzles in the evenings. It was a great stay!
