This was our first time to visit Maine and staying in Ellsworth worked out very well for us. We discovered the convenience of the free bus service to Bar Harbor and Acadia, but could retreat to Ellsworth to recharge our batteries. Loved this VRBO and loved Ellsworth!

The apartment is in a great area of Ellsworth and there are so many shops, restaurants and bars to walk to. The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated and the hosts were very easy to book with. If I am back in the area, I will definitely stay here again.

The apartment was a great “away from the crowd” base for a beautiful week at Acadia National Park! So many great restaurants within walking distance. The apartment was decorated so cute and was spotless! Thanks for sharing the rental with us! Five star review!

Perfect stay for anyone with allergies and asthma. Finding an away stay is a real health challenge. Linda and Hans truly understand that here with a clean, easy to care for rental and attention to avoiding allergy triggers for us. Going so far as to wash bedding and towels in allergy free detergent and no perfumes - Thank You! There is no mold or weird old house odors (that i struggle with other rentals). Location was sweet on Main Street and convenient to driving to Bar Harbour, College of the Atlantic, Acadia... Hans and Linda are responsive and communicate well. Definitely staying there again.

We wanted to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in Bar Harbor but didn’t want to fight the crowds so we chose Ellsworth and found Linda and Hans’s gorgeous apartment. It is beautifully decorated, so clean, and so comfortable!! Don’t pass this one up!! Ellsworth has everything you need and Bar Harbor is an easy 20-minute drive away! Perfect all around!!

My husband and I stayed here and were highly satisfied. Loved the decor of the place and it was very clean. It looks brand new. We loved that it provided a smart TV, a coffee maker, and dishes. The place was very cozy and we had no issues whatsoever. Would definitely stay here again!

I was pleasantly surprised that the apartment was bigger and nicer than the online pictures portrayed. Kitchen was easy to navigate. Place was very clean and large. Very easy, walkable, to get to places to eat in town.

Comfy apartment and great location to enjoy all the fun and delicious restaurants in Ellsworth! We took wonderful hikes in Acadia each day and found a new dinner spot in the evening. My husband and I enjoyed my first retirement trip here and highly recommend it!!

We had a great stay here in Ellsworth! There were several options in town for food/drinks which were walkable but we spent most of our time in Bar Harbor since we were there to see Acadia. 30 minute drive ( + or - ) depending which part you wanted to go to which was super doable! The apartment was clean, cozy, and spacious with everything we needed. Perfect place to stay when visiting the area, would highly recommend!

This was a perfect apartment for our Maine vacation. Great access to central/northern coastal towns. This apartment has everything you might need, incredibly clean and well appointed. All new and renovated, nothing was left out. Linda was knowledgeable about the area and super helpful if needed. 5 Stars +

My wife and I stayed in Ellsworth so that we could enjoy Acadia and the Schoodic and we were delighted with this apartment. The accommodations in Bar Harbor didn't look like quite as good a value, so we decided to stay here and we're so glad we did! The apartment is super clean, well-appointed, and decorated so nicely. The best part to me is that it's right in the middle of Ellsworth, so you can pop out the door and be right in the middle of a charming downtown area with nice shops and restaurants. The ride into Bar Harbor/Acadia is about a half hour, which isn't bad at all (but it does get traffic-y between 5:00 and 6:00 pm). It's about the same to get to the Schoodic, which is also a great place to go. We had a little trouble with the keypad lock and gave Hans a call and he came right in to fix things up. Bottom line: A super-clean delightful apartment with responsive hosts in an adorable town not far from Acadia and the Schoodic. What more could you ask for? Would definitely stay here again.

A little hideaway and is BEAUTIFULLY decorated, full kitchen with all you need for cooking and very quiet although in the middle of Ellsworth downtown. I recommend the place but just realize you have a drive to the park but it is convenient for traveling to other wonderful places like Schoodic Point and Corea. We came to see Acadia National Park and thought it would be closer since it is only ~15 miles but the road going to the park is VERY crowded and it takes 30-45 min to get to the park or Bar Harbor during the traffic in the summer. Still it is a LOVELY place and definitely worth considering. One other note, there is not a washer and dryer, we didn't need it while there for 4 days but if you stay longer, just wanted to share for information.

My partner and I had a great stay at Lisa's property! It is centrally located in Ellsworth and about a 30-40 minute drive from Acadia National Park - great spot to see everything but still be able to have a quite night away when needed. Apartment was well designed and comfortable - we would stay again if we're ever back in Maine!

This was an outstanding place to stay. It was super clean and comfortable. After long days of hiking in Acadia, it was the perfect place to relax. Ellsworth is a nice little town and you can experience all of it easily by staying here. Linda was really responsive to any of our questions. I would definitely stay here in the future.

Stayed here while visiting Acadia NP. A fairly quick drive to Bar Harbor and the park. Well appointed with simple conveniences. Had everything we needed. The host also provided some small snack and the local specialty…blueberry soda. Safe area, also. Thanks!

Great spot in town. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants. Short drive to the Park.

Apartment was well situated, close to shopping and restaurants that were convenient and delightful.

Lovely, clean, and handy apartment! We could walk to great restaurants and shops. 30 minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Quiet town away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Very pleased we stayed here! Wonderful hosts!

This apartment was super adorable and close to many restaurants, bars, and shopping. With traffic, a 30 to 40 min drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Apartment was very clean. Communication with the owners was superb as we had a few questions and needed to rely info a few times during our trip. I would highly recommend staying here as it was far enough from the crowds but close to many attractions.

This apartment was a great place to stay for exploring much of the Maine coast and Acadia National Park. The apartment was impeccably clean, communication with the property manager was prompt and clear, and the apartment provided everything we needed and more. We loved the location of the apartment. Situated above a business on Ellsworth's Main Street, we were within steps of restaurants and shops. Despite the central location, it was incredibly quiet. As for Acadia: We loved staying in Ellsworth, as opposed to Bar Harbor. Bar Harbor was overcrowded with tourists--everywhere. Ellsworth was a normal, pleasant, lovely town with everything one could want, and NOT overrun with tourists. We would stay here again with no hesitation, and highly recommend this lovely apartment.

Perfect location to explore all parts of Acadia. Charming town with plenty of shops to explore on a rainy day and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The apartment had everything we needed and we would definitely stay there again. .

Property was extremely clean and welcoming!

We loved our stay here. The host thought of so many cute additions and we felt very appreciated. Would love to stay here again. Great distance from Acadia with lots of restaurants nearby.

NOTE* If you book the property through Vrbo make sure you select the insurance setting you actually want. Between booking through Vrbo or Expedia, one of the options either doesn't make it obvious or just doesn't tell you when it automatically charges you a huge security deposit! We would've preferred the other option which was like a non-refundable insurance policy but for much less. But Linda released the deposit as soon as we checked out. Anyways... I stayed at Linda and Hans's property for 3 nights with my boyfriend early October to catch some fall foliage in Acadia. I cannot recommend this property enough! The place was extremely clean, organized, and looked exactly as the photos showed. A night or so before our stay, Linda followed up with us on Vrbo to message us the property details and how to access the unit. We had some trouble getting in but when I called Linda, she picked up right away even though it was late (10ish) and we were inside within 2 minutes. You can tell that they put a lot of work and thought into prepping the place and it was as good as, if not better, than a hotel! All of our needs were accommodated for. My favorite part was the Tupperware!! I hadn't even considered that aspect of our trip but we ended up using at least half of the Tupperware provided for meal leftovers and most importantly, hiking snacks! So that was a detail that was greatly appreciated and overlooked in my own planning. Thank you so much for a lovely stay!

Perfect location for that area to visit the Acadia and surrounding harbors. This apartment is well equipped, beautifully decorated and comfortable. I highly recommend a vacation stay there.

The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Good access to Acadia, and Ellsworth is a cute little town. We would recommend this place to others.

The perfect basecamp for exploring Acadia away from the crowds. The apartment is beautifully renovated and immaculately clean. Everything you need to cook and relax is included (+ some snacks and a few Keurig coffee cups for your first morning). I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We chose this town and property for its proximity to Bar Harbor (and relative affordability compared to BH) and that rather random choice was the BEST decision ever. Ellsworth is quaint and welcoming, and the apartment was perfect: very roomy, sophisticated, clean and new... The full kitchen is a plus (we didn't cook much, but...) and the bed was comfortable as well. The location is ideal for wandering south, basically positioned about 30 minutes from all of the attractions we were after (besides just enjoying Ellsworth, that is): Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, Winter Harbor-- and all things Acadia National Park.

Great stay

Very clean, spacious apartment. Loved location and having access to kitchen area. Linda was very responsive!! Wonderful place!

We had an incredible stay at Linda's apartment. It is well appointed, incredibly clean and a brand new remodel. We'd give a 6th star if we could! The location is great as well - close to Acadia, but also other locations of interest like Camden and Rockland. Linda is very friendly and responsive. Well worth it and I highly recommend. We'll stay again next time we're in the area!

This was our favorite VRBO property ever! The hosts are very detail oriented. We loved the small touches and the fact the place was so clean. We spent a lot of time in Acadia and the property is about 20 minutes away. It was nice to get out of the busy/touristy Bar Harbor to come back to Ellsworth (which is a cute town with good stores and restaurants). We highly recommend this property and would love to stay again.
