Located on the northeastern shore of Mount Desert Island, Salsbury Cove is a peaceful waterfront village known for its scenic beauty, rocky coastline, and close connection to nature. Situated along Frenchman Bay, this quiet enclave offers stunning views of the water and surrounding islands, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking tranquility away from the busier tourist areas.

Salsbury Cove is home to the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL), a renowned research facility dedicated to marine and environmental science. The area`s calm waters and lush forests provide excellent opportunities for kayaking, birdwatching, and seaside exploration.

With its secluded charm, coastal beauty, and easy access to both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Salsbury Cove is an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy Mount Desert Island’s quieter side while remaining close to its many attractions.

If you’re considering this rental, please read this review. Good: Feels new, modern furnishings, tastefully decorated, basically clean, firm mattresses, plenty of parking, nice furnished back porch.Bad: Built and furnished with the most basic/cheap builder-grade materials we have ever seen. Beginning to fall apart. Bed linens were fine, but the towels were thin and rough. So much traffic noise! Front “lawn” is a field of weeds.Wish we hadn’t stayed here because of the way Maebeth treated us and our fear that they have “rated” us as bad tenants, thus risking our ability to rent from VRBO in the future. VRBO prevents us from seeing their review of us until after we submit our review.Here's what really happened. At Maebeth's suggestion, we bought groceries in Ellsworth before arriving. We asked if we could but the perishables in the fridge before 4pm check-in time. They said that the cleaners had to be done first. We arrived a bit after 3pm and, since the cleaners had left, went inside. We emailed Maebeth to tell them that one of the closet bi-fold doors had come completely off its hinge posing a hazard of falling and injuring someone. Maebeth responded with “Why are you in the unit right now? Check-in is not until 4pm and the unit was not marked as completed. I’m disappointed you still checked in and went to the fridge after we said no… Can you confirm you understand the checkout time and will follow the rules to checkout properly?” Who talks to a customer like that?

Awesome house for our short stay

My family decided to add a couple of days in Bar Harbor to our Maine vacation and this house was perfect. A few minutes from the busy part of Bar Harbor, and a few minutes from Acadia: it was perfect. Super clean property, and the easiest cleaning/checkout process I've ever had at a rental.

The location so close to the very busy highway was not ideal. Very loud traffic. This would not be so much of a problem accept there is no Air Conditioning. Therefore,we had to sleep with the windows open. The very loud traffic made it difficult to sleep.Otherwise, it was a nice place clean and plenty of room for our family.

Very Nice!

Really enjoyed our stay here. It’s about a 15 minute drive to Bar Harbor, and a 10-15 min drive to a lot of the popular Acadia trails. There is nothing in immediate walking distance and there are very few Ubers, so you definitely need a car to stay in this location. Bedrooms / bathrooms were big, beds were comfortable, nice kitchen, good outdoor patio space, inside was clean. It’s right on a main road which we didn’t mind, maybe anyone with younger kids it might impact more. There was some confusion with our early checkin and I had a hard time getting ahold of the host during that time, but outside of that the check-in/out was super easy. Would recommend

Maine Trip

The location of this property was amazing. It’s located right downtown Bar Harbor near shopping and shops. The location is also great if you are planning on doing any lobster boat tours or Arcadia national park tours . Our tour pickups were right across the street and our other tour was just a few blocks down the street. We were able to walk to everything including bar path ! The house is dated could use a few upgrades. The main concern is that the front door window needs a blind, or some type of covering. The window in the bedroom the blind is not long enough. There are several blinds in the house that are not the correct size also the very top loft room needs an air conditioner. Other than these items we enjoyed the place !

Best Possible Location

We had a lovely stay at this charming house. The location is so close to the entrance to both Acadia (park loop and visitor center) and Bar Harbor. It felt like a central location to nearly everything on Mount Desert Island. The accommodations were clean, well stocked, and definitely made us feel home while on vacation. Communication with the property manager was always prompt and thoroughly helpful. They made check-in and check-out a breeze. Our family of 6 could not have had a better time, we are recommending this location to friends who are also planning on visiting the area. Book this before it is gone, it is so good!

Great weekend getaway

This house was perfectly located off the main road around Mt Desert Island. Less than 10 minutes into Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, but also close enough to the mainland for easy travel in and out. House was clean and enough room for 2 people and a large dog. While the property is dog friendly, there is no fence in the yard. Great stay in the off season!
