Known as the ‘Gateway to Acadia,’ Trenton, Lamoine, Prospect Harbor and other mainland communities enjoy proximity to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park, with access to the expansive Union River Bay and Mt. Desert Narrows. Appreciated for being away from the crowds, this area is home to several local lobster pounds and close to Ellsworth dining. Many homes in this area enjoy spectacular views of Mt. Desert’s peaks, and swimming is generally warmer in the bay waters. Lamoine’s public sandy beach, Trenton Community Trails, Wild Acadia Fun Park, and the Stanwood Bird Sanctuary are just a few of its many attractions!
We loved Sea Gypsy!!!
It was the first visit to Maine for my husband, myself and our good friends who joined us.
Sea Gypsy was like stepping into someone’s beautiful home with an amazing view and peaceful surroundings. After exploring Acadia, going on a lobster boat, eating at several lobster pounds it was a treat to return to Sea Gypsy to relax and unwind. Don’t miss the opportunity to stay here. Would also highly recommend a visit to Thuya Gardens.
Great location and lovely property along with all of the necessary amenities for an excellent experience. My only criticism is that batteries in the first floor bedroom and living room television remotes were both dead and needed to be replaced in order for those two televisions to function. I am very knowledgeable about how remotes function, but it did take quite a while to diagnose the problem and fix the issue. We did not travel to Maine to watch television but local and national news are both important to us.
We would have appreciated a bit of help or better yet a normally functioning tv for our trip.
From The Knowles Company: So sorry the batteries died on you like that! Glad you were able to get it sorted. Hope to see you again next season!
Loved our stay at Sea Gypsy, it have every comfort and amenity you could think of and was such a peaceful setting to sit and watch the sunrise each morning. Accessible to all area attractions and away from all the crowds. Contact with the owner/rental agent was easy and the welcome from the owners was a lovely touch. We will be back!
This has been one of our favorite properties that we have stayed at. We had a lot of plans for our trip but found ourselves wanting to just hang around the house! There was plenty of room for all of us and everything was spotless. This location is perfect for heading into Acadia. The view is great from the house and the access to the beach was great! We would definitely stay here again!
