About this property

Mill Cove: spacious property w/ water views, kayaks, and close to Acadia!

Mill Cove is the perfect spot for a family summer getaway. You’ll relax as soon as you pull into the driveway and see the water’s edge welcoming you home. Located on the Union River Bay in Trenton, the house is a 10-minute drive (6 miles) from the head of Mount Desert Island. Escape the summer heat on the water, kayak and swim in front of the house, and cozy up to the fire pit in the evening as you watch the sunset over the bay - all while being able to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, just a short drive away. Ellsworth’s historic Main Street for shopping and dining is close by too!

FIRST FLOOR: The kitchen looks out to the dining area and living room with water views, with plenty of counters and cabinet space to prepare family meals. The master bedroom with King bed has an en-suite private bath with walk-in shower and a walk-in closet. Two other bedrooms, both with Double beds, share a full bath with a walk-in shower. Deck off the dining area for easy access to the grill. A large sun porch provides lots of natural light with pretty views of the water.

LOWER LEVEL: Open, unfinished basement providing space for games and storage. Ping-pong table. Access to the front lawn and water.

A Vacation to Remember

We loved our stay at Mill Cove. The property is beautiful and peaceful and the house is very well equipped. The location was perfect with shopping and eateries in nearby Ellsworth, and not too far to Bar Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula and Blue Hill. We would return in a heartbeat.

Overall we loved this place! It was so very clean, spacious and well stocked with a beautiful view. We used the kayaks and the ping pong table. Location was ideal! We travelled to Schoodic Point one day, south to Belfast one day and the rest of the days we explored Acadia. We would love to stay here again!

There is no way we could have asked for a better place to spend our vacation in Acadia, than at this place. The quiet. The solitude. The fire pit. The amenities. Just the best! Got lucky and watched a pod of seals feeding and a family of bald eagles for hours on our last night.

Family Vacation

The property was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a two week stay. My family enjoyed the home and that it was located on a cove with kayaks. When we did venture out to site see the grandchildren couldn’t wait to get back to the property to play outside and explore the cove. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to vacation in Maine.

Comfortable and beautiful

Main bedroom was comfortable (always very important to me), bathrooms were clean. Everything you could possibly need was available. Yard was spacious with outdoor seating and a fire pit and an amazing view. We were there off season and there were no neighbors around making it even more private. We've already booked again for next year.

Beautifully Relaxing

The experience was excellent! Very professional when booking. Very accommodating when I forgot to tell them my parents and brother decided to come after we booked it haha Very clean, absolutely gorgeous, and the views were spectacular!! We will rent this again for sure because it was just far enough out to be relaxing but close enough to Acadia and Abarth Harbor, where we love to go for attractions. It wasn't more than a 25 minute drive. Worth every penny!

Bar Harbor - Mill Cove

This home far surpassed our expectations! From the moment we stepped inside and saw the stunning Union Bay view through the bay window, we were beyond pleased. The home has a split bedroom layout and is extremely clean. During the day we explored Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. In the evening we sat around the campfire looking over the bay with an abundance of fall foliage reflecting off the water. We recommend this home to everyone. Thank you for sharing your home!

Marvelous Maine Escape

The house at Mill Cove was perfect. It felt like our own home away from home instantly. The view of the ocean was picturesque and made us want to hang around the house our entire trip! The lobster cookware that was provided was awesome. We made fresh bought lobsters and it was a fun experience to cook them ourselves. Also, the owners provided kayaks and it was so much fun to kayak in the bay. We were only 30 minutes from Bar Harbor which was a beautiful town to explore. Mill Cove was everything we needed, thank you so much! We look forward to returning someday!

Great week at a lovely home!

Great property; so well appointed, clean, and comfortable. New appliances, tons of supplies, clean and uncluttered. Feels like the owners have thought of everything and provided it! Easy location to go into Ellsworth for supplies or head into Mt Desert Island, which was amazing. Very quiet, lovely view and setting, and family friendly. Our kids had a great time climbing and playing on the rocky beach at low tide (not really possible for true swimming, but figure it would be great for launching kayaks, which they also provided!). We also so appreciated that we could bring our dog. It's hard to find such a high quality rental that allows that. Overall, a lovely spot, and a great location for a family vacation.
