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.

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.

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!

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

Although this trip had been planned, I had major stress added when preparing as we were now in an evacuation vacation instead of relaxation vacation. The owner was so patient with my outreach, answered all of my questions and made me feel like a friend and not a very worried tenant (arriving late, changes in dates, etc.). The location and home are amazing but the owners and communication were the best part

Perfect Maine Vacation
Despite the weather being a bit rainy and foggy most days, we still had a wonderful vacation. The house was perfect. We were able to explore the beach during low tide and go kayaking when the weather was good. It is a short drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor with lots of excellent lobster pounds nearby. We had such a great time.

Very Special Place!
My daughter and I loved our stay at this perfectly rustic cabin! It was a wonderful place to call "home" while we hiked Acadia and explored Bar Harbor. We loved the peaceful view of the ocean while eating on the front porch or reading on the deck. We appreciated the cleanliness and amenities, especially the electric heaters for the cool nights. Bob and Pat were excellent hosts making our check-in/check-out process easy and providing great tips for things to do around the area!

A gem near Acadia National Park
The cottage was very neat, clean, and nicely decorated. The sunrises were beautiful and I enjoyed them with my morning coffee. We were very pleased about the location. So close to the park. Nice view of the bay with the surrounding mountains. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back! Pat, the hostess was extraordinary! Extremely helpful!

Perfect Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The location is excellent; close to a supermarket and restaurant with easy access to Acadia National Park, island towns, and Bar Harbor. The view from the dining area of the cottage can’t be beat. We spent a lot of time taking it in. With a well appointed kitchen, we were also able to prepare meals when we did not want to go out. This was our second stay here and we would most definitely stay again!

A cosy, peaceful coastal getaway
We just loved this cottage! Acadia is so busy in summer, but coming « home » to this cottage was so relaxing. I spent lots of time inside relaxing, reading and drawing, and outside gazing at the water and looking at rocks and shells. It’s a perfect retreat for a simple person like me. I loved the « camp » feeling and cosy wood everywhere. Thank you for letting us stay!

Lovely Cottage in a Perfect Location
Pat was excellent with communication right from our initial contact. The cottage was lovely and such a perfect escape from the crowds and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia. It was an amazing spot to paddle from and the kitchen was well equipped. We absolutely loved it. Watching the sunrise from the beach at low tide was a magical morning we will never forget.

Cute Cottage in a Great Location
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was an easy drive to Acadia and being on the water was wonderful (perfect for swimming in early July). We will note that the cottage got very hot during the day (outdoor highs were in the low to mid 80s), but it did cool down nicely overnight with the use of a fan (provided). This wasn't an issue for us, as we were typically out exploring the area during the day.

Beautiful spot near Acadia. Comfortable and cozy waterfront cabin.
Great overall experience. Saw seals and loons in the bay. Made good use of the wood burning stove as the nights were still chilly during our visit. Our 1 suggestion would be to add a lounger or another form of comfortable seating in the main living area. The cabin was very well equipped and is in a nice quite area away from the Bar Harbor crowds.

Maine Beachfront Getaway
My wife and I had a very relaxing week at the cabin. Great location -- we enjoyed the easy access to Mt. Desert Island, Bar Harbor, and Schoodic Peninsula. Short distance to stores and restaurants but still quiet and peaceful. Lots of birds around and the turkeys patrolling the yard were particularly amusing. Kitchen had everything we needed, the wood stove was nice on cool nights, and the bed was comfortable. Great view from the sunporch and deck and easy stairs to the beach.

Beautiful location, sweet cottage
Our family of three very much enjoyed our week at Pat and Bob's place. The location on the water was just what we were looking for; the cottage is comfortable and was perfectly sized for the three of us. The place is clearly well cared for, and we appreciated the quick access to Ellsworth and all of MDI without the hustle of being in town. The location is SO delightfully quiet! We had one small plumbing problem, but Pat and Bob were great about communication and very accommodating. We hope to be back next time we travel to Maine!

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.
