We were taking a NE road trip and needed a homebase for 3-4 days in Maine and couldn't have found a better spot. The house itself was clean and inviting, and the location on the lake was fantastic. We ended up spending a full day just at the house to relax in the backyard and use the canoe. :) Ben was very responsive to questions and we had no issues checking in/out

Having experienced many rental properties over the years, some are less than expected. This property is in the opposite category. We found it better than the description. We would love to return here in the future.

The Ellsworth house was fully equipped (except for a flashlight) with everything we needed/wanted during our stay. The lake location is beautiful, and having canoe and kayaks on hand was just great. Everything we wanted to see was about an hour drive (Bar Harbor, Acadia, Deer Isle, Schoodic Peninsula) - a little far, but not too bad. We had a close encounter with Hurricane Lee, and that was close enough. No power or water for a day and night, but all in all not too bad. Our family loved it there.

We loved the serenity of the lake. The beach down the road at the boat launch was awesome for our dog to swim. Lamoine beach, only 40 minutes away was a.so great for our dog to swim! It was very hot this week. My only wish was for air conditioning. Otherwise it was perfect!

We had a great stay here last week! We spent time in Acadia, Blue Hill, Brooklin and Deer Isle and did not mind the driving at all. Coming back to the lake house was definitely a nice retreat from the crowds as stated in previous reviews. The fire pit was awesome! Ben was very communicative and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate at all to stay here again. Our daughters are teenagers but this place is very well suited for younger ones. Thank you Ben!

At the house & away in Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Acadia and others. Plenty to do at the House/Lake - Kayak, swim, Fish, Bike, Jog/Walk, read and relax. The Fire Pit was large and very nice.

The house was immaculate and the location was perfect for us. We loved the quietness of the lake. We brought our 19 foot boat and used the dock which was in beautiful condition. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with more than just the usual such as vegetable oil ( for making brownies), Saran Wrap, sandwich bags and many spices and other things you would hate to have to buy for a one time use on vacation. It was about an hour drive to Acadia and bar harbor which was worth it to us to be in such a quiet area. The upstairs bathroom was very elderly friendly with a walk in shower and grab bars if you are traveling with an elderly parent. Plenty of clean towels and beach towels and all the lake toys you could imagine including a canoe and kayaks. There was a window ac unit downstairs which kept the whole downstairs cool during a very hot and humid week. There were fans upstairs that kept the bedrooms comfortable at night when it cooled down outside. The level yard accommodated all of our vehicles and we were able to store our bikes inside where the lake toys were. We would highly recommend this property and will likely be renting again if we decide to return to the area next summer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lake front home in Ellsworth. It is located on a long dirt road about 3 miles in with beautiful views of green lake and the mountains. The house was equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable and clean. We made use of the kayaks and canoe as well as the fire pit. My husband fished in the lake and caught pickerel, white perch smallmouth bass, pumpkin seed and red breasted sunfish. Our dog loved kayaking with my daughter in the lake and watching my husband fish. We drove about an hour every day to see the sights in Bar Harbor and hike in Acadia but loved coming back to the peace and quiet of the lake house. This trip was for my daughter who graduated from high school and she loved every minute of it. Thank you Ben.
