Description accurate , convenient location to Ellsworth- close to some very good restaurants, not too far from Acadia for hiking and Bar Harbor for restaurants and shopping. Quaint cottage on the water with great sunsets. Equipped with everything you need. Loved sitting on the deck!

Spent a week here while our kids were at sleepaway camp and it was a perfect spot. We heard a coyote, loons and owls and saw ospreys regularly. So close to Acadia. Highly recommend and lovely owners. Only advice - don’t work remotely like we did - take the full vacation!

We loved our time at the waterfront cottage. The sunsets over the water were beautiful, and there were multiple options to enjoy the view - two decks and chairs to move around the yard. Our boys (ages 14 and 11) spent hours skipping rocks and exploring the shoreline. Observing the differences on the shoreline between high and low tides was neat. We never did make use of the fire-pit, but that would have been fun. The house was very clean with everything we needed for our 5 day visit. The kitchen was well-stocked with the essentials to make meals. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a few of the many games available for use, and there were also plenty of movies and CDs to choose from. Communication from the owners was excellent. We used the cottage as a base to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was an easy 20-30 minute drive. We went into Ellsworth (10 mins) for groceries, and had several meals in Ellsworth and Trenton (also about 10 mins). Although Bar Harbor is a beautiful town and closer to Acadia (our primary purpose for the visit), we preferred to stay in the more peaceful setting of the waterfront cottage. The house next door appeared to be under renovation, but there was no one doing work during our visit. We couldn't have asked for a better location for our first visit to Maine.

It was hard to leave this idyllic cottage, not only at the end of our stay, but every day we went exploring. I often thought how we could not explore anything and just stay at the cottage all day, every day. From watching the sunrise across the water, to the sunset in the evening everything was wonderful! The views are the best part of this place. Right on the water, amazingly peaceful. The sunsets were spectacular!! As for the cottage, it was wonderful. Everything was clean, updated, and nicely appointed. Three decks allowed you to enjoy the views. We spent most of our time in the sunroom with high ceiling and a fan and walls of windows, it was the perfect spot to watch the sunset and hang with the family playing a board game at night. The cottage is close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park where we spent a lot of our time exploring. There is so much to do in the area and so many amazing restaurants, we will definitely be back! Our hosts Kim and Doug were great. Communicated when we needed it, but gave us space to enjoy our stay. They were super organized and you wanted for nothing at the cottage. If you are on the fence, please rest assured you do not need to be. This place is everything it presents in the description and photos and 10x more! It is a WINNER! Thanks again Kim and Doug, we will return!

My family and I loved coming back to the peaceful and relaxing location while exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. My family of 4 had plenty of space to spread out and everything was very clean and well-kept.

Charming cottage with beautiful water views. Extremely clean, well maintained and equipped. We enjoyed the beach views with coffee in the morning and fires at sun down. Lots of great decks for outdoor enjoyment. Absolutely wonderful!

Beautiful setting and property! 30 mins to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. House was very nicely furnished and clean with everything we needed to season, cook, clean and just enjoy the location! West facing for sunsets over the water. Bird watching was good. Master bed was very comfy. 2 fire stoves were comfy as well. Decks! I just can’t say enough nice things. Don’t hesitate. Just book it and enjoy. We sure did. Thanks so much!

The bayside cottage was all we hoped it would be!! So quiet and peaceful. Loved that the cottage was near the water and far from the road. Gorgeous sunsets and views!! I loved the kitchen and found it extra Well appointed. I was able to bake to my heart’s content! Evening we enjoyed grilling and eating by the water. Tons of room to spread out. Living room and sunroom were fabulous!
