About this property

Elegant, Charming Home on Union River Bay With Views of Acadia

Stay in an architecturally charming house overlooking more than 800 feet of beautiful Union River Bay shoreline with uninterrupted views of Acadia National Park and Cadillac Mountain. The house has four bedrooms, two full baths and a double height living room with fireplace and with panoramic windows to enjoy the eastern exposure view of Union River Bay and Mt Dessert Island.

Just 30 feet from the shore, the house is so close you can hear the water lapping on the beach. Enjoy the loons, eagles, seals and other wildlife right from the expansive deck overlooking the water. The wonderful sights, sounds and experience of Maine are truly at your footsteps! The property includes more than 30 acres of beautiful nature: fields, beach and woods to explore and enjoy. Blueberries are available for picking.

The house is a wonderful example of modern cedar shake. No plain white walls inside, it's fully paneled in a natural pine that really brings home the feeling of being in Maine.


The four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are nicely split between opposite wings extending from the central living room, allowing for maximum privacy. The master bedroom has a queen bed and views of both the water and woods. The other three bedrooms are: single with twin bed, double with separate twin beds and double with two twin beds that can either be combined or separated. Rooms have water views and breezes and separately controlled heat for chilly nights.

The kitchen opens to the living room, is nicely equipped and has its own convenient entrance from the driveway. There are two decks, an expansive one overlooking the water with beach access and a smaller sun-filled one facing the woods. Easy water access from the drive for launching small watercraft.

Please note that rental periods are for a minimum of one week and the house is only booked on a weekly basis. The maximum occupancy is seven persons.

secluded paradise
This place was great, beautiful inside and out. On rainy days staying inside looking out at the view was very relaxing. We were close enough to enjoy Acadia National Park one day, go whale watching another. There were five of us in our group and there was plenty of space for everyone. We felt right at home.

Love this house
Our family of 5, including 3 grown and almost grown kids, had a wonderful time at this lovely house. The location was fantastic and the house was very comfortable. It's clearly a much loved place and I felt honored to be able to spend some time there. I really hope we'll make it back one day!

Fantastic Location!
We loved our stay at Marakanda. The property was wonderful, you are so close to the water and the views from every room and deck are perfect. The location was convenient for going into Blue Hill, Ellsworth and Bar Harbor. Our stay was comfortable and the place has all the necessary amenities...we really felt like this was home away from home.

Such a beautiful, peaceful property! The layout of the house if perfect with plenty of space for a family with kids of any age. It is well stocked with books, games, puzzles, and everything you could possibly need. The owners are quick to answer questions and very accommodating. In my opinion, the star of the show is the amazing deck overlooking the bay. We spent countless hours out there watching seals, fish jumping, herons, osprey, loons and eagles. We were able to have a canoe conveniently delivered right to the door by a local outfitter and picked up when we were leaving. I would recommend this property to anyone, and hopefully will be able to return myself!
