About this house rental
Located in the village of Pretty Marsh, our Post and Beam cottage looks across the sloping grassy field to Goose Marsh Pond, the salt water inlet that flows into Squid Cove on the western side of Mount Desert Island. This pastoral site, often teeming with wildlife, offers a quiet, cozy and peaceful spot to recharge after a day exploring Acadia National Park and MDI.
Pretty Marsh is on the western side, the "Quietside," of Mount Desert Island. The cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The dining room has a wonderful view of the water, fields and the neighboring apple orchard. We also have a fully screened "Tea House" in the back yard to enjoy a mosquito-free outside experience.
Acadia National Park is spread out over many parts of Mount Desert Island. The ocean and freshwater ponds are close by for swimming, canoeing and kayaking. ANP's 50 miles of fine gravel carriage roads are renowned for walking, running and biking, and wonderful mountain and seashore trails are short drives away. The town of Southwest Harbor, a charming village with a fine foods market, restaurants, coffee shops, a bike shop, library, art galleries and shopping is a 15 minute drive. The eastern side of MDI (Bar Harbor) where you can find many restaurants, shops, theaters ... and hustle & bustle, is a 20 minute drive.

We loved our stay at Goose Marsh Pond with our two kids! Truly such a special and well-appointed home. We enjoyed cooking in the very functional kitchen, meals in the sunny dining room, playing the piano and other fun instruments, reading some of the many books on the shelves, listening to owls while sitting on the screened-in tea house, and exploring the area nearby. Super comfy beds too. Easy and quick access to cute towns and Acadia hikes. And the hosts were easy to be in touch with and very welcoming! Thank you for having us!!

My family loved everything about this rental. We did not want to leave. Karen and Rick placed so much thought into making sure their guests had a perfect stay. Comfortably decorated, ample linens, kitchen supplies, and towels, a binder and helpful notes throughout, The pond view from the dining room was truly special. Convenient and relaxing location to come back to at night after visiting either Bar Harbor or Acadia.

This is the sweetest little post and beam cottage I have ever seen. Loved all the artistic touches. Beautiful view over Goose Marsh Pond. Loons and cool breezes at night.
