This was a lovely property for a lovely stay. The location was convenient, the house comfortable, very clean and well-stocked. The beach was excellent for the kids to play, explore and swim. Of the many VRBO properties we’ve stayed at, I’d definitely recommend this one.

Perfect place to enjoy the Acadia area

One of the best equipped homes we have stayed in to date. A very comfortable home. This house has pretty much everything you would need for a weeklong stay if not longer. Some spare lightbulbs would be a good addition as well as a stepstool for the upper kitchen cabinets for us shorter people.

Great Location!! Beautiful Views!!

Location was perfect. Remote and private but convenient drive to all activities. House was clean and fully stocked. Plenty of room for all of the family. Fantastic Views!! Beautiful beachfront. Enjoyed amazing sunsets every night. Also enjoyed the fire pit. We had a perfect family vacation. Only minor inconvenience was that we were not aware that there was no air conditioning and it was an unusually hot week. Otherwise perfect week.

Great house on the bay with sunset views in a quiet and treelined neighborhood along the shore.

Everything was great except for the coffee maker was not working. It may have been programmed but did not work on a regular on/off mode.

Fantastic home base to explore Acadia. Enjoyable to leave the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia. 20-30 minute drive to Acadia very manageable. The bedrooms were very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. If we visit the Maine coast again we would definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay for our family vacation to Acadia National Park. The house had everything we needed. Such beautiful views right in the back yard. We enjoyed walking the beach at low tide. And at night we had a bonfire and looked at the beautiful sky with so many visible stars and even the milkyway. We also enjoyed playing games in the sitting area. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on our trip. Everyone said this was one of their favorite family vacations and Heather Cove Cottage was amazing.

Union River Bay Views 30 Minutes from Bar Harbor

We stayed here from Saturday to Saturday during peak leaf peeping time in October 2024. The home is well appointed, easy to find, close to Bar Harbor but nicely secluded, and is comfortable and clean. We loved getting up and enjoying breakfast while watching the tide roll, getting out and sight seeing around Acadia NP, and then watching the sun set over Union River Bay. We also spent many mornings or evenings walking along the Bay, just enjoying the scenery. It was so easy to coordinate check in, even though we didn't arrive until well after midnight on our first night. There's a lockbox on the front door, so no extra late night access was needed. It was also easy to check out. The property manager was quick to respond to questions. We had no issues while there. Everything worked and everything we needed was there. We had six people, two in the main bedroom with queen, two in the upstairs bedroom with a queen/twin, one person in the upstairs queen/twin, and one person in the downstairs two twin beds room. Our only recommendations/disappointments included: (1) the bed frames are wobbly and could use reinforcement. One of the beds dipped in the middle, though it wasn't enough to coordinate a fix while we were visiting, and (2) there are no views from the upstairs room. But we found that we enjoyed the views from the living room and back deck, and still really liked staying here!

Quiet, Serene and Comfortable with a Magnificent View

Beautiful property far enough away from the crowds to be quiet yet close enough to get to where we wanted to go. Home is well-stocked and tastefully furnished. The highlight was the stunning view. Home is large enough for a good sized family. Enjoyed very much.

You’re done scrolling STOP here!!

This place was simply wonderful!! It saved our trip. The views were awesome and my family had so much fun walking around on the beach and finding treasures. The place had plenty of room to spread out and was stocked with everything you need. For my family Bar Harbor and Acadia were very crowded. Having a place to come back to and get away from the hustle and bustle made the trip that much more enjoyable. The property manager was wonderful. She responded quickly to our questions and was very knowledgeable. If I could give it 10 stars I absolutely would. I highly recommend booking this place. You will not be disappointed!!

About the host

I (Daria) manage the rental operations for the current owner of Heather Cove. Scott and I formerly owned Heather Cove, but though we sold the home, we continue to manage the rentals for the new owner. Also, the cleaning and caretaking crews are the same and will continue to provide excellent care and maintenance for this lovely home.

Why they chose this property

Incredible unobstructed view of the bay and Blue Hill. Flat, shoreline with more sand than usual around these parts! The sunsets are truly sublime. The cove area is shallow so warms up nicely in summer - perfect for swimming and wading.
