This cottage is a hidden gem! Not far from Route 1 (access to everything you need is within a few miles), you end up at a lovely cottage that seems miles away from everything overlooking a quiet Upper Patton Pond. We saw a few kayakers, one tiny sailboat, and two low-speed power boats during our stay. My husband caught several fish off of the new dock, and I was able to sit on the deck or screened-in porch and read to my heart's delight. The bed was comfortable, and the cottage was well-stocked with everything we needed. We were grateful for the fans provided as it was very warm and humid during our stay. We would definitely go back!!

We enjoyed our stay at this lakefront cabin. Although the location is isolated, we enjoyed the peaceful setting, especially the large porch that overlooks the lake. The cabin was comfortable and spacious. The only drawbacks were that we had to use bottled water for all drinking (as the well water had not passed inspection) and we were instructed to limit WiFi use due to data restrictions. Both of these limitations were not disclosed in the listing for this property, neither at the time we reserved it for our stay nor at the time of this review. We were only informed of these restrictions by direct e-mail shortly before our stay.

This cozy cottage had a beautiful water view right from our bedroom window. Also from the deck, porch and family room. We arrived at night so it was a little challenging to find the cottage because it is down a short but steep hill. We could see the roof first. No problems after that. We were concerned about lighting the heater pilot light when we arrived but Cindy was so accommodating and stayed late so she could show us how it worked. No problems after that. It is rustic but very clean and nice. Updated bathroom and nice shower with washer and dryer. It was close to Ellsworth and Acadia. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next summer or autumn.

Great accommodation. Fantastic view. Loons were a wonderful sound in the morning.

We were hoping for a place that felt private; was quiet and had a great view. We stayed a week in early September after labor day. It was all of the above and we even got to see and hear loons, a bonus! The road in was all dirt and very wooded, prior to coming to such a wonderful view of the pond. The deck is huge and it was nice to have the option to sit in the smaller screened in porch, which was also how you accessed the modern bath and laundry room. Both screen and bathroom door lock for those that have concerns. In September, you will want to wear slippers and a robe to the bathroom, which was right outside of the living area, as it's a few steps in the outside air. The kitchen area was a little small to work in but it's an older cottage, so to be expected but it had everything you could possibly need and some. Fans in every room. The bedroom with a queen has a sliding door. Upon leaving, you have to walk past the other bedroom which does not have a door for full privacy, if that is a concern. I did read someone hung a curtain or shower curtain for more privacy? We had no issues with the shower, plenty of hot water. Nice and modern and clean. We never turned on the one tv, so I cannot comment on that. I also did not walk down the stone/rock steps to the pier but my husband did. Just take your time and watch your step. We found the two chairs comfortable for reading in. As for the screened porch, I could picture two rockers there. It did have a small table and straight chairs for having coffee in the morning without being bothered by bugs. A larger round table on the deck with two loungers as well. The grill had an issue but we knew ahead of time because of good communication with Cindy. So we managed to pan fry our steak and chicken tips and had one meal of pasta. We could have cooked seafood at the cottage but chose to visit a few restaurants for seafood in Ellsworth and in Bar Harbor. We would definitely recommend the Union River Lobster Pot in Ellsworth and the hours were from 5 to 830 pm everyday and they do not take reservations and fill up fast. It is bigger than it looks. First room was with ac. Second room was a covered screen porch. Or sit outside under individual tables with canopies or tables with umbrellas or in Adirondack chairs facing the river! The food was very good, and our cocktails too. We had a great experience at the cottage and Cindy was very helpful answering all of my questions and promptly. G & D from N.H.

This camp was a restful stop after our daily excursions. It had everything that was needed. Not being from Maine my expectation was that we would be a bit closer to Acadia Park.

Always a great stay at Cindy’s spot. A wonderful week. Great location and accommodations. Hope to be back next year.

Our favorite place to stay in Maine- it really is ideal and the photos, with the exception of the view from the water up to the house, don't do it justice. It's a perfect camp, has everything we need. Great location, great host.

An ultimate pause from our daily task-filled lives! We swam every day in beautiful Patten Pond, perfect in all ways; and listened to the loons while reading —and just sitting —on the spectacular back deck. Best of all: our grand-pup couldn’t get enough of jumping off the dock into the pond! This is a just-right, tucked away place for a comfortable and private retreat and re-set.

This cabin is in a beautiful location overlooking Upper Patten Pond. It’s close to the lovely town of Ellsworth and convenient to Acadia, one of the most spectacular places in the US. It’s quaint and has loads of character, and we enjoyed the quiet and solitude. The kitchen is tiny but fairly well stocked. The deck is quite large and offers great views of the water—we saw several beautiful sunsets there. A few things that should be mentioned: The path to the pond is very steep, and there is no rail, which led to our decision to not rent kayaks—we weren’t sure how to get them down to the water safely. While it is a two-bedroom cabin, this is best for a family rather than two couples (which we were) since one of the bedrooms has no real door. We purchased a shower curtain for privacy. Going to the bathroom requires going out through the screened in porch, but the bathroom itself was quite nice. The owner was very accessible and quick to respond when we had an issue with the toilet. She managed to find a plumber who came to the house while we were away for the day.

We had a wonderful stay! The deck overlooking the water is amazing and we spent much of our time out there. Most importantly, the cottage was immaculate and had everything one could possibly need. Thank you for a relaxing week down memory lane for my parent's 60the wedding anniversary. Monique

Good

Very relaxing, but plenty to do and see. Private and quiet, we had the pond to ourselves to fish and enjoy.

The property is great place to get away, but still close to restaurants etc.

It's location was great everything we needed was there. The only thing negative was it could have been a little cleaner. Overall it was a great vacation.

Every step of the process from the reservation up to the day we checked out was smooth as could be! Cindy was a great host, she was very responsive to any questions we might have and provided detailed information about the property. The camp is very well stocked with just about anything you would need. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor seemed to be extra crowded during our trip; it was nice to come back to the peace and quiet of the camp after a day of exploring. Thanks for having us, Cindy!

Wonderful quaint cottage in the forest with a million dollar view of Patten Pond. This cabin was just charming—close to Ellsworth and Acadia National Park. It was incredibly well stocked. We were in need of nothing. Cindy communicated very well. We would definitely return!!

Lovely view of the pond—back home we would refer to it as a lake. Lots of windows, large deck and screen porch. Plenty of supplies in cupboards. Coffee and coffee maker. Toaster oven and propane stove. Dish detergent and cloths washing supplies. Plenty of towels and dish cloths. Nice pots and pans. Plenty of hot water for the 2 of us. Queen mattress was good and a heating pad under the mattress cover that is electric and can be regulated. A propane gas heater attached to wall in living area that was easy to ignite, no lighting a pilot to start it or the propane stove. What attracted me to the living room was 2 small recliners to use in the evening for sitting. The full bathroom was toasty warm with a standing electric heater that was very safe. To get to the bathroom one would go out of the living room, step onto the screened porch and enter the bathroom door from the screen porch. We were there in September so it only got down to mid 50s at night so not an issue to go to bath. The owner was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. Nice retreat from the city. Cozy

We had a wonderful and memorable trip to Upper Patten pond. From the moment walked in and took in the view of the woods and water we were happy. Harry,our 3 year old part Siamese was in heaven with the tall cat tree and screened in porch. The interesting thing is that the surroundings of lake and trees is quite similar to where we live in Pa. ,but the distance between camps was nice and a perfect location for short day trips around the area. Thanks,Cindy , for all the thought you have put into your place.

This is our second stay and it is so perfect. We swim, fish, canoe and cook every day. Not much reason to leave but so much nearby if we do. Would recommend to anyone.

This is a property that will give you a wonderful view all day to beautiful sunsets at night. The sounds of the loons add to the magic. It is very peaceful.

The cottage was very clean with everything we needed. Nestled in the woods with a beautiful lake where we kayaked everyday. Close to places of interest and towns. We would definitely go back.

The area around the cabin is so peaceful and beautiful. You feel miles away from everything . It's location is perfect. You have the cute town of Ellsworth within minutes. If you're wanting more . Bar harbor is just an hour away. My boy's loved jumping off the dock into the pond . This place was perfect.

Really enjoyed our stay. Temps ranged from 48 to 94. Very well stocked with the extras. Older, and clean and charming.

The location was everything we wanted and the house was a complete delight!
