Situated directly on Union River Bay, this waterfront home features a private footbridge leading right to the shoreline! Grill your local catch on the back deck. While dinner sizzles, savor a crisp beverage on an Adirondack chair. The waterside gazebo is the perfect spot to admire the beautiful sunset. You’ll love the sunroom. Amazing bay views are yours to enjoy throughout the home. Enjoy evenings by the firepit overlooking the water.

Prepare tasty meals in the kitchen, outfitted with a full suite of appliances. The sunroom dining table offers seating for eight. The kitchen bar seats four and a side table in the kitchen seats an additional two. Enjoy sweeping views from the backyard, which directly overlooks the bay. The sprawling lawn, two decks, a gazebo, and a gas grill create a serene outdoor oasis. There are plenty of Adirondack chairs for everyone in your group to find an ideal perch to take in the spectacular water views. Gather around the firepit when the stars come out.

Follow the private footbridge and stairs from the backyard down to the beautiful shoreline -- it’s only a matter of feet to the water! Drive to Ellsworth for restaurants, coffee shops, and breweries. A day trip to Acadia National Park, just 10.5 miles away, is a must!

This home is situated in a lovely spot with full views to the lake and sunset from every room. It’s clean and comfortable but dated, the kitchen really needs some update especially the appliances and sink.

Beautiful View close to Acadia
Rural setting in the Trenton area but still close enough to shopping and restaurants. Excellent base for exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Magnificent sunset views over the water while sitting around the fire pit were a highlight. The house is older and needs some updates and more meticulous cleaning but everything was functional. We had a great time!

Beautiful spot
This home’s main selling point is the magnificent view, which we enjoyed every morning and evening in the comfortable Adirondack chairs set up in the backyard. The home is a little dated but the sheets were clean, the beds comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen has all the appliances you’ll need. All in all, well worth the price and the experience.

Beautiful waterfront getaway
This was the perfect place for a relaxing family vacation with access to Acadia National Park. The home is in a beautiful secluded setting where you can enjoy all your meals on the porch overlooking the water, go for a swim and have easy access to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Trenton, and Ellsworth. The house is very comfortable and fully equipped with all that you need for your vacation home.

Visit April 2024
Was visiting Maine with family to attend my son’s wedding at Acadia. Chose this house for the waterfront views and amount of space and it didn’t disappoint! The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the listing states and has photos of steps leading down to the beach but when we arrived the walkway was there but the steps were missing so we weren’t able to enjoy taking a walk along the beach and rocks which was the main selling point in selecting the property to stay at. Otherwise we were extremely satisfied with our stay and the house.

Graduation weekend
We were in Maine for my daughters graduation from UMaine the house is not close to UMaine (45 minutes) but we wanted to spend a few days in Bar Harbor and Acadia What a beautiful house could not have asked for more. All 4 bedrooms were very comfortable, the master suite was great for my 80 year old parents. The view from the many windows overlooking Trenton Bay was incredible. We would definitely book again and spend more time to just enjoy the house and location.

Peaceful, quiet setting
Quiet, clean, good location. Lots of room for our family of 4. Didn't spend too much time on the property as we were out exploring Acadia but the place provided just what we needed for our stay. Beautiful sunsets, views and peaceful setting. The only downfall would be there were several broken windows and the bbq did not work. Otherwise, great stay!

Fantastic house in Maine
Fantastic house on the water. Super close to Accadia, Bar Harbor and other area attractions and shopping. Bedrooms are large and very comfortable. House was clean and well equipped. Would definitely stay here again if we came back to the area. As one other reviewer mentioned above the house is now set up as a four bedroom and none of the rooms have twin beds.

Hidden fees
Our stay was wonderful. Property was fantastic. My only complaint is that when I reserved the property I was quoted one price and when I got my receipt VRBO had added an additional $272 service fee that was not disclosed when agreed to the rental price. VRBO advertises "no hidden fees" but that was not my experience.

Girlfriends Getaway
The house was very comfortable for us 4 gals who came to visit Bar Harbor and hike Acadia. The keyless entry code did not work, but Vacasa gave us code to the lockbox for the house key. We loved being on the water, beautiful sunsets and fun firepit. There was no hairdryer in the house, so the local agent was kind enough to drop one off the following day. Beds and linens were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels. This was a very nice vacation house. Highly recommended.

Very Tranquil
The serenity of this house was unparalleled. Arriving amidst a blizzard, discovering it felt like finding a pot of gold. Returning to the house was always a highlight for relaxation after exploring during the day. Unfortunately, the storm caused a disruption in the wifi service. We promptly notified the management, attributing the issue to the inclement weather. Despite the late hour, they assured us it would be addressed the following day. We sent a text message the next morning confirming that everything was back to normal, yet they still reached out to ensure our well-being. Their genuine concern was deeply appreciated. With such breathtaking natural scenery surrounding us, the absence of TV or internet felt inconsequential.

The process to rent this home was easy until we had to “check in”. The code that was given to us was incorrect and the property manager wasn’t able to help. Just a minor inconvenience though as they rectified the situation with keys, however they did send someone to take a look at the locks. He was not able to fix it and said he would call us at some point to come fix it. Well that never happened, so hopefully the next renters didn’t have the same problem as us. The tv in the living area also was nearly impossible to get off of the children’s programs. We finally figured out how to program it to a few regular channels with the help of you tube. Other than that, everything was fine. we werent’ there for tv, but there was one rainy day so we stayed in. overall a very nice home.

Fantastic west view over the bay on a quiet, private lot.
The fantastic private waterfront setting with gorgeous sunset views makes this property a wonderful vacation destination. It was an easy 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mtn and other popular Acadia spots. The kitchen was well stocked for meal prep and serving. Although the appliances worked well, they were old and the stove, especially, could have used a better cleaning - but nothing that kept us from wanting to use it. Living room and dining area in the sunroom were comfortable. Wifi worked well, but we were never able to get tv reception for our entire stay. We were given a discount for this inconvenience, but it was disappointing. Perhaps the system should be checked before each rental so that there is time for it to be resolved. The bedrooms were neat, clean and the primary has a beautiful view towards the water. Beds were very comfortable with plenty of bedding and the bathrooms were well stocked with towels and toiletries. We did have an issue with the door lock malfunctioning. The code is long & not easy to remember, so when the door locks behind you when it shouldn’t, it causes a hassle to get back inside. I read in prior reviews that other renters had door lock issues. I think it should be replaced. It was not enjoyable stuck outside in the cold wind while contacting managers for assistance. However, they did answer our call right away, provided a finicky resolution and were able to get us into the house.

Beautiful and private location
This could be a really nice place to stay. It is not taken care of properly. Many things don't work, like the dishwasher (half the time the soap dispenser does not open up), blinds (really need them in the summer it gets really hot in the house), fans (without air conditioning you really need fans in all the bedrooms and the living room - the exposure is from the west and it really gets hot in the afternoon. Some rooms have ceiling fans which are great. But not all of them do. The living room has a really old floor fan which needs to be replaced), the grill is not working. We would have like to use it but could not get it lit. The property manager told us he tried to get the owner to replace it last year, but they would not spend the money. We also had issues with the water. We kept running out in the afternoon. On the 4th day we ran out in the morning and that is when I called to report it. We had NO WATER! I called at 8:30am and had not heard back from anyone by noon time. So I called the property manager and he thought he had seen a ticket reporting the issue. It was not till the late afternoon when they had a plumber come. WE HAD NO WATER. There was a leak with one of the filters. The basement was flooded. I felt like this was an extraordinary issue and some sort of apology at the least should have come from the owners. But we heard nothing. I would not stay at this place again. Like I said it is beautiful looking out the windows. But this property is not property is not maintained. It is an income property and they are squeezing out all the profits and not taking care of the home.

Mostly Good
Overall, our stay here was good. The house was a perfect size for our family of four. It is perfectly located for access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Restaurants and shopping on both Mount Desert Island and in Ellsworth are also easily accessed. There are 4 bedrooms. Three are quite large and one is quite small. All of the beds are great. Closet/drawer space is plentiful. Bathrooms are spacious with double sinks but somewhat outdated. The kitchen is not so modern but certainly workable. We had no problem cooking several meals there despite the slanted electric burners. The living room is a good size with comfy couches. Views from the living room and master bedroom are amazing. Backyard. deck and firepit were great. Access to the beach was really nice too. The little park with the Lily Pond in the middle of the cul-de-sac was pretty sketchy. Only a few drawbacks.: One of the bedrooms looks like it may have served a different purpose at some point. It has its own entrance and different flooring. Could may have been a doctor's office? This room had a strong mildewy smell that only got worse when the temperature rose. This had clearly been a problem in the past as we found several air fresheners and odor absorbers scattered around the room. This room also appears to have its own heat controls. Even though that heating system was turned off completely, the baseboard heaters would randomly turn on. Not ideal in August. As one reviewer said, there is no air-conditioning. I understand that this is quite common in Maine. However, this house gets quite hot when it bakes in the sun all day and it is very difficult to cool it down. There are ceiling fans in most of the bedrooms as well as a large portable stand fan, but that was not enough. Furthermore, the Venetian blinds on the large living room window were broken and would not lower. There was no way to shade that room from the blazing sun. We ended up rigging up a blanket to cover the window. Most of the windows can be opened but several have broken crank handles and can't be opened which makes it further difficult to cool the place down. We enjoyed our stay but I doubt that we would choose this property again in the future.

The setting was beautiful and peaceful. There was plenty of room for our party of six. The two things I would suggest are - identify that the house has a lobster pot and the type of coffee maker available. I tried to get that info but was unsuccessful. Would go back again.

Nice tucked away home with a good amount of amenities for cooking, etc. We really enjoyed our stay and spent a lot of time in the back yard with the incredible view. The outdoor spaces and beach below felt very secluded and peaceful. We were happy with the location, with Bar Harbor and groceries both very nearby. We recommend it!
