About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Eco-friendly butterfly haven, waterview, pets, near Acadia National Park

Located steps from the new Acadia Gateway Center. Pick up your park pass right across the street and leave your car if you wish to take the free Island Explorer bus into the park.

Enjoy a cozy place to kick back after hiking or sightseeing. You'll sleep peacefully out of the noise and traffic of Bar Harbor and wake up just minutes from Acadia National Park, restaurants and shopping. You will have the downstairs unit of a duplex all to yourselves, with your own private entrance.

Relax on the porch, wander our brookside trail and the organic pollinator-friendly gardens. Keep an eye out for eagles, great blue herons, ducks, foxes and perhaps even a seal! Enjoy our night-time dark skies for breathtaking views of the milky way as you sit around the fire pit.

Sweeping views of a tidal estuary just steps from the back porch. Kayak and canoe put-in. It is a short paddle from here into Frenchman Bay with gorgeous views of Mount Desert Island. (You can order boats delivered by a local outfit ahead of time and keep them here during your stay.) Volta, an indoor climbing gym, is within walking distance.

We are proud to be a green vacation rental. Certified as a National Wildlife Foundation native wildlife habitat and a Monarch Waystation.

A beautiful view to witness Acadia Fall colors
My sister and I loved staying here. Barb has thought of everything to make our stay here comfortable. The place was spotless and the furniture was so comfortable including the beds. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying the beautiful view in the mornings and at sunset. A wonderful place all in all!

Pleasant stay in Trenton!
The House at Riverfield was lovely. Extremely clean and organized. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay including beach umbrellas and chairs! The mornings on the porch with our coffee and views of the flowers and Jordan River were amazing. We had great contact with Barb as well. We would definitely stay again.

Great Stay for Acadia vacation!
We travelled to Acadia for 4th of July Weekend. We happened to find this location and it worked out wonderfully! The property is off the main road down a long driveway and very secluded and quiet despite being so close to the highway. It’s right on the Jordan river, which is a ocean inlet and fun to watch the tide and even go explore, if you want. There is a nice porch and fire pit, although we didn’t use it due to exhaustion from hiking. It takes about 25-30 minutes to get anywhere in Acadia, but it’s a very nice drive. The house itself is the lower level of the owners log cabin with separate entrance. We could barely tell she was there. There was a nice couch, TV, WiFi dining table and fully loaded kitchen with spices and everything. She left us a nice snack tray and water cooler for water bottles. The bathroom and bedroom were as described with plenty of towels and blankets. Worked perfectly for our family of six, but would be great for couples, other sized families or friends traveling together. Would not hesitate to stay there again. Thanks for the great accommodations!

Heaven
Barb is wonderful and the house is perfect with everything that you need, including an embracing interior. If you sit on the back veranda from sunrise to sunset you will see a different shade of Monet's The Seine at Giverny; the tidal lake is beautiful as it changes colors, and form, throughout the day. You have quick easy access to Rt 3 and the island. It doesn't get much better and the country road to the house is secluded from Rt 3. The quiet is what the doctor ordered and the short sunrise walks, out through the woods and back to the lake, with my lab were priceless. Thanks Barb and we look forward to seeing you again.

Quiet, Comfortable, and clean
This quiet location was perfect for our family of 5, with 3 teens, conveniently located a short drive from Acadia but away from all the busyness of Bar Harbor. The home was clean, a little rustic (in a charming way) and our Hostess was wonderful to work with. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at the property. It had all the items that we needed for our stay and the views and property itself were perfect for the five of us. We especially enjoyed the trail in the woods that led back to a waterfall and the amazing views from the back porch. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Great stay and location in ME
We absolutely loved our rental in Trenton. It was a perfect fit for our family of five. We loved how the location was so easy to access and a short drive to Acadia, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The landscape and water vista at the house are gorgeous, and we enjoyed some quiet evenings after our long hikes on the back patio watching the birds and the tide rise. Check in and check out were easy, except for the fact that we would’ve enjoyed one more day of vacation in Maine. :-) We highly recommend this rental and a trip to Maine!
