If you enjoy quiet stays away from all the traffic, congestion, and noise then you will love this place like we did. Beautiful, extremely well appointed, home with fire pit, nice shoreline, and away from light noise of near by towns so that you are able to see an amazing array of stars and on a good night the Milky Way. House is so well stocked with all you need and all the things you didn’t know you needed. We couldn’t have asked for better and can not wait to stay here again.

Loved the house and location. Everything we needed was there. Fun for all ages. Cannot imagine better home base than Rhumbline

This was a beautiful home on beautiful property, which had many amenities. We loved the nautical theme throughout the house. It really captures the essence of Maine! We would definitely recommend this house to others.

If you are looking for a place to stay that reminds you why screen time isn't all its cracked up to be, this is your place. The owners (who were very attentive) did a great job of making their place a summer retreat. There is a gazebo that provides a shady place to read, a hammock to take a nap in, a fire pit where you can make smores and the game of bags, a pool table and air hockey for some friendly competition. Not to mention the stairs down to the beach where you can walk along the shoreline - all things we did, BTW. (that is not to say they aren't set up for TV watching if you want, but we never got around to that!). The setting is also ideal. Quite and secluded but not far from Ellsworth for groceries and restaurants and minutes from wonderful hiking trails. We went to Acadia and hiked as well, but honestly loved the local hikes more. The house had everything we needed including 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms so there was plenty of room to spread out. I would highly recommend a stay!

We had such a wonderful time staying at Rhumb Line. Everything you could possibly need is here. Just show up with some clothes and you'll be good to go. And you won't even need that many clothes because there's a washer and dryer. The house is beautifully maintained, and the property is as well. I promise you'll be satisfied with your stay here. Impossible not to be.

What a magical place not far from Acadia. Shoreline was beautiful, lots of outdoor fun to be had. House was well stocked. Zero complaints!

We had a wonderful time but were so busy hiking and enjoying Acadia and Bar Harbor we didn't get to fully enjoy the house. It is a beautiful home with 2 full master suites with their own bathrooms as well as another room with bunkbeds and a private bathroom. The kitchen was well supplied, the couches were very comfortable after long days of hiking. There is also a fantastic basement well furnished with games and a large TV--but we never got down there. The location was private and quiet but very convenient with good dining options in Ellsworth (15 min) and about 45 min drive to Acadia. Good internet, back up generator (here during the Hurricane), and very responsive host and caretaker. We highly recommend this property and hope to return!

This is a lovely, well-maintained and thoughtfully furnished property. The kitchen is extensively equipped for those who are so inclined, the beds are quite comfortable and the bathrooms tastefully laid out and supplied. The location for us was perfect, as we have friends and "go-to" places in East Blue Hill, Brooklin and Stonington, and of course, a quick drive to Pugnuts Ice Cream Shop is ideal. We spent most mornings enjoying coffee on the deck watching the adult and juvenile bald eagles, some of which roosted and vocalized in plain view in the trees right behind the house. Two noncritical issues about the house: First, although the stairs to the beach are well-built, the climb is long and steep, and the few muddy spots were slippery- an issue for those (such as myself) for whom a slip or fall could be problematic. Second, there was a clear odor of sulfur in the tap water, indicating the presence of sulfur-reducing bacteria (not harmful!), likely in the well from all the rain this summer. Importantly, when contacted about this, the agent (Cheri) responded immediately and contacted the owners.
