About this property
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 had a lovely stay here while exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It was nice to come back in the evenings to somewhere quiet with plenty of room for our family of five. The back deck was a such a treat with a gorgeous water view! Even though it was quite chilly, we sipped our coffee out there in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Barb supplied us with everything we needed, and was gracious enough to mail my daughter's beloved necklace she accidentally left behind. We would definitely stay here again.
Barb’s home is the perfect place to stay. The unit was lovely and the setting near the river and gardens is beautiful. Close to Acadia, Bar Harbor and there are many things to see and do. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended!
Wonderful house at a very convenient location, outstanding cleanliness and with all amenities needed. The owner is extremely kind, very responsive and helpful. It was a wonderful stay!
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!
Easy communication with owner on a lovely property just over the bridge from Mount Desert Island. This was our first trip to Maine and Barbara’s Riverfield house helped make it a trip to remember! Very clean, lovely property, magnificent morning coffee views.
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.
Everything was amazing. Perfect location, right between local town and bar harbor. 7 mins from the best lobster ever!! Trenton lobster.
You wake up to the most gorgeous lake view.
Barb made everything feel like home away from home. Cannot wait to come back one day.
Thank you again!
The property was beautiful and the cabin was quaint and serene. Thank you for such great accommodations. Trenton is close to all the attractions and a stone's throw from Acacia National Park which we frequented often to participate in hikes, biking and watching sunsets.
Barb our host thought of everything for a enjoyable time at her lovely home. Really close to everything. She even gave us some great places to eat local as well in Bar Harbor. On the go from morning to night. Did not get to enjoy the desk or walking down to Jordan River.
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. John, Julia and Zoey
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!
This place was just what we were looking for. Perfect location for the things we wanted to do, but located in a quiet area. The place was beautiful and very clean. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to explore Bar Harbor and Acadia.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here in Trenton. Loved the view. Comfortable beds. The house location is central to everything we wanted to do. A lovely, peaceful setting!
Great place to stay very close to everything we wanted to do. Barb was great. Beautiful views from the porch. Great place to spend our 50th wedding anniversary.
Kitchen plus whole house was fully equipped plus any thing we could have possibly needed. It was very clean and had a beautiful view out the back of the home. The location was great as we had easy access to Acadia Nat park as well as exploring Schoodic area. A real treasure!!
My husband and two kids (16, 11) had every thing we needed to feel right at home at this lovely property. After long mornings of hiking at Acadia, we looked forward to lazy evenings relaxing with beautiful views at the house. The well stocked and organized kitchen made it very easy to make breakfasts and dinners so we didnt have to eat out, and we enjoyed playing games and working on puzzles in the evenings. It was a great stay!
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.
Barbara was the perfect host! The apartment was perfect and the view out the back windows was so beautiful! The drive to Acadia National Park was only 10 minutes away. Great location!
Great experience. Accommodations were amazing. The little touches by the owner really added to our experience and enjoyment of the property. We'd definitely stay here again. Great distance from the national park and Bar Harbor. Very peaceful and serene.
The property was exactly as described and served as a nice retreat from the many tourists in the Bar Harbor area. With the exception of an occasional airplane we enjoyed a very tranquil environment for rest and relaxation. The water view and grounds are spectacular and Barb was very responsive to our needs. We would stay there again.
