Lovely, quiet, wooded retreat! We stayed here as a home base and drove into Acadia and Bangor. Wonderful location!

Beautiful house and area. Close to Acadia, and this house was the perfect place to go back every night. Fit our group of eight very well.

This was an amazing property in a quiet neighborhood. Great proximity to Acadia. I would definitely stay there again.

Property located in very quite location in a natural surroundings. All required items were available & plenty more. Communication with host was very clear & house rules instructions were very clear. In short perfect place to have a nice family vacation

Overall the property and neighborhood was beautiful! Very clean and quiet. Ellsworth is a cute little town not to far from Bar Harbor and Acadia. It has Martha’s diner which was a favorite of my Dads when he and Mom used to go up to ME. I got to stop in for Blueberry pancakes and to replace his mug I broke… (he’s been gone 7 years so breaking that mug a couple years back was heartbreaking.) the house was perfect for us basically 2 masters, which was great since my mom could have the ground floor and me and my husband had the upstairs and each kid had a bedroom. Only fault to the upstairs 2/3 bedrooms was lack of furniture to put your clothes in or phones/tablets to charge by the bed! But the beds were pretty comfortable. The couch was nice and big! My daughter fondly named the deer Fred and Toby. Lol! The kitchen was nice, bare but enough dish ware and cookware to make due so we weren’t eating out more than one meal a day! The back deck was lovely, though could use about 2 more chairs. The only flaw with the house is the front porch steps. Here in MD if there is more than 2 steps you need a railing! My mom definitely needed support going up them since there was none. The front walk is slate and pretty but watch your step! Myself and the kids both stumbled a time or two Lol, them too excited me I had to much in my hands to see! Over all this property was great! Definitely made our trip as comfortable as being at home!

We spent time at Acadia on MDI and at Duck Harbor, the house was in a perfect location to do both

This beautiful house is near the end of a dead-end road, so it feels very private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are two parents, of two adult children, each have a partner/spouse, and one 2-year-old — so we needed a house where we could have at least three bedrooms (we wanted the fourth bedroom in case a nephew joined us, but he didn't). We were in town to attend the covid-postponed wedding of a cousin, to see family who live in the area, and to visit Acadia National Park. The house is big enough that we all felt that we had enough space. The beds are quite comfortable, and we appreciated the sheets of clear instructions left by the owners. Our son & his wife were glad to see the collection of children's books in their upstairs bedroom, as they hadn't brought many books along for their young one. The kitchen was more than adequate for our needs, though it would be nice to have a table where everyone could sit together (the house sleeps 8, but the only table seats 4, with a kitchen island that seats two more). The living room is big enough that we were all able to gather there. It has a very comfortable sectional sofa with two reclining seats. The owners were very responsive to every question we had.

Nice, clean, as-advertised property in quiet, private neighborhood full of beautiful trees. We hardly knew there were other houses. Deer visited the backyard daily during our stay. Home was comfortable. Our only suggestion is that owners might consider adding some more plates/bowls, a cutting board, and serving bowls as we had to run the dishwasher after each meal for our party of 7 because of plates. A few cozy throws for enjoying chilly evenings on the back patio would be great as well. Overall, a very functional home for our needs though. Acadia entrance is a good 30 min from Ellsworth, so we were wishing we were slightly closer. Ellsworth has quite a few restaurants, but even in the high season of summer, many were oddly closed on Monday and Tuesday….even a couple on Wednesday, so be aware wait times at the open restaurants may be long, as we discovered. Our best meal was at Union Lobster…great food & service and the best blueberry pie around. We had a great trip and are grateful to hosts for sharing a nice property.
