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

Enjoy a cozy place to kick back after hiking or sightseeing. Located at the gateway to Mount Desert Island, we are out of the noise and traffic of Bar Harbor while just minutes from Acadia National Park 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! Volta, an indoor climbing gym, is within walking distance.

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.)

We are proud to be a green vacation rental. Certified as a National Wildlife Foundation native wildlife habitat and a Monarch Waystation. We are also active in our local Project Drawdown and have committed to reduce our carbon footprint. Our electricity and HVAC are powered by solar panels. We use green cleaners and non-toxic shampoo and conditioner. Our energy efficient heat pump has AC for those hot summer days.

This is a no-smoking facility. No smoking is allowed in the house or on the grounds.

Pet friendly
Please inquire if you would like to bring a pet. We provide a dog bed and bowls to welcome your furry companion. There is an additional one-time nonrefundable $200 pet fee collected through the platform at the beginning of your stay.

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.

Amazing 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.

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.

This property was excellent! The house was exactly as stated and was well-equipped with everything we needed. The views of the Jordan River from the back porch and through the abundant windows across the back of the house were BEAUTIFUL! Barb was very attentive to our needs and helpful when we had questions. We hope to stay here again on future trips!

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 stay at this listing. It was the perfect size for our family of 5 (3 young children). Barb was very responsive to everything we needed and the house was stocked with lots of essentials. Close to Acadia and we could quickly get to different parts of the park. We would book again.

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.

Quiet, secluded, and just short drive to the park.
My family really enjoyed our stay at this property. This was the perfect place to be able to quickly access the park and yet relax outdoors in the evening away from any crowds. The property had more than enough space for our family of four with comfortable furniture and everything else we needed during our stay. It is also very close to a number of great places to eat close by. The owner is very hospitable and kept us updated on anything that we needed to know before and during our stay. I would definitely recommend this property.

Clean, Comfortable and Great Communication
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at River Field. Barb’s communication was excellent from start to finish, including information in the house for activities to enjoy. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked; little things like night lights, luggage racks, extra blankets were all appreciated. Did I mention the view and that we could bring our dog? Don’t miss this peaceful retreat!

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!

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. John, Julia and Zoey

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.
