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.

Excellent Getaway with Life Long Friends

This property was perfect for our party of 3 couples. It is very private and the water view is beautiful. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with everything needed for our week.

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.

This home itself was a vacation! Secluded and quiet but only a short drive to Ellsworth (for groceries) and Bar Harbor and Acadia NP for Fun & Food! The view is Stupendous from inside and outside, and the kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and living area were exactly as described and more than adequate for our family of four. We look forward to a return visit!

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.

We loved our stay here, it is the most beautiful location and minutes from everything you'll want to see. The house is spacious and peaceful, and the grounds are breathtaking. 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.

Exceptional Cottage!!

We had the great pleasure of staying at Goose Cove Cottage from August 27- Sept 3 2017. It was in a perfect location for us to easily access all of our excursions. The cottage itself was extremely clean and well stocked with anything we could possibly imagine needing. The view from the deck was amazing and we all seemed to gravitate there often. There is so much to do and see in Acadia and the Bar Harbor region that we will surely be back and we wouldn't want to stay in any other place. Thank you Wanda!

Well maintained home, very clean with fantastic views. The home is spacious for a larger family and has everything you would need. Just a short drive to Acadia, Ellsworth, and all the harbors. Loved the fire pit in the backyard. We slept with the windows open (screens are in) and loved waking up to the cool breezes off the water. Highly recommend! Thank you and can’t wait to visit your place again soon! One week was too short a visit!
