This property is a vacation all by itself! We are so glad we came in spring when the flowers were in bloom because this yard is absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed sitting on the deck every day, watching the water levels rise and fall with the tide. Shaun, from Acadia 1, delivered kayaks and we were able to get them in and out of the water pretty easily between our water adventures. This multi-leveled yard has a great area for holding the kayaks between uses so they won’t float away. We used the firewood provided to have cozy campfires in the huge, beautiful fire pit. This house is stocked with everything we needed and so much more! Henry and Suzanne provided everything we could possibly need in the kitchen and bathrooms (thank you so much!) but also extras like little coolers, sunscreen, and bug spray for hiking. My son and husband thoroughly enjoyed the pool table and blue tooth speakers each evening while my daughter and I planned for the following days’ excursions in the Acadia area. We were able to see her “dream spot” called The Ravens Nest, in addition to whale watching from Bar Harbor, exploring the Schoodic peninsula, the Acadia National Park, the Granite Garden Gallery, Tidal Falls, and more thanks to the perfect location of this property right in the middle of it all. Communication with the property owners was exceptional, and we felt very welcome the whole time we were in Maine. We would LOVE to return to this property someday to enjoy this area again!

Do not pass up this house. It was more than enough for our small family, we loved being right on the water. Watching the tides come in and out was a highlight. It’s clear the house has been well cared for, definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic time on our stay! We had 5 adults including my elderly parents. The views are amazing, and the pictures on the listing don’t do it justice! The landscaping is spectacular! The communication from the host was detailed. Our stay was perfect! Thank you Henry!

The setting of this property is unbelievable. Just gorgeous! We loved being outside and roaming around. Very close to Acadia. Thanks!

My husband and our 3 adult children and their significant others stayed here for a family hiking trip in Acadia National Park and the property is scenic and serene. We only saw 1 bald eagle off in the distance so bring your own binoculars, but it was a great long weekend making incredible family memories.

Property and grounds are beautiful!

Clean property hosted by meticulous owners. Thorough communication. Our second visit, and we’ll be back for a third.

This place was so much better than the photos promised. The beauty and the seclusion it provided was necessary for us. Watching the osprey and the other wildlife added to the serenity. The house offered all we needed and more (ping pong was played many times). Even the one rainy day we had was an enjoyable experience as it helped us slow down and relax in such a comfortable space. We would easily go back again.

This home has a great view with acres of privacy. Some very good restaurants just up the road.

This house and the surrounding property are just gorgeous. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, with small treasures around every bend. Small garden decorations surprised us as we walked around the yard, and various lawn chairs offered a place to sit and read or just gaze at the bay. The large windows throughout most of the house allow for a great view almost everywhere you look. The location is very private with a long driveway and no other house in view. We loved everything about the house and its proximity to Acadia. We also enjoyed looking through the the books in the several bookshelves with books about the region as well as a great collection of classics! Great place to return to after a day of hiking or other activities.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. We loved waking up and looking out at the beautiful property and the views with it. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything you would need.

This house was just as advertised! It was spectacular; especially the views and privacy. We loved it. The house was extremely clean and well stocked with everything you need. Thank you!! Great vacation!!

This home is one of the nicest properties we have ever reserved. The house is beautiful and the property is amazing. The view from the back porch was so perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed the mornings and evenings there! Highly recommend it for adults! However, if I would not recommend for families with young children.

This property is as described, if you read the description, you will not be disappointed! We visited Acadia NP, and this was a perfect vacation spot after long days! Loved it.

We had a lovely stay. Best stocked kitchen of any rental we have ever stayed Outside space is amazing. We used gazebo when it rained. Saw a bald eagle several times flying across the bay I would recommend.

This home is a vacation in and of itself! We came to the area to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia NP and surrounding areas- and wound up not wanted to leave the house! The house was spotlessly clean, well appointed, spacious, and had all the comforts of home. The property is such a peaceful oasis and the view is breathtaking. We would definitely stay again!

We loved our stay at this house. Beautiful surroundings near the lake, tastefully furnished house and quite, secluded neighborhood. Owners and property manager were super helpful!!

The view from the main room as we walked in took our breath away. The house and property are beautiful and secluded. The view of Taunton Bay was quintessential Maine. The owners were very accommodating and easy to communicate with. We would rent again.

The property is Fantastic, immaculate, shows real pride in ownership. We are more than satisfied.

We had a restful and inspiring trip while enjoying our stay at this home. We didn’t turn on the TV!! One of our daughters and myself read books and the other daughter loved playing ping pong with her father. It was a perfect location for all parts of Acadia National Park. We contacted the owner only once while we were there and received a prompt response. We didn’t mind the “no shoes” policy because we do same thing at our house. There is no en suite, but we didn’t mind. A very relaxing house to come to after a day of hiking.

Henry and Suzanne's house is in a remote, peaceful location with a spectacular view of the water from their spacious deck. We saw Eagles, Ospreys and other birds ever day. The landscaping with trees, flowers and several places to sit and enjoy was a bonus! The 5 of us had plenty of space and enjoyed most of our time on the deck. Kitchen was well stocked with whatever we needed. Loved the way the house was decorated. Ellsworth is 5 minutes with grocery stores and a cute downtown with several good restaurant options. It's a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor (35 minutes) so plan you day and evening trips accordingly!

Beautiful property and excellent location to enjoy with our family. Perfect!

The house was very clean and as advertised. The views of the water from the deck and patios are magnificent.

Had a great stay! Loved watching the sunrise every morning for the back patio! Countless hours playing pool!

The views of the bay and woods are marvelous. Always a variety of birds, a seal ... even an osprey trying to catch a meal! The deck is a wonderful spot to relax.

Beautiful property, BUT… Within 20minutes of being settled in to house., called contact number on check-in directions to inquire about where sheets could be found for pull out sofa. Owner was very upset we had with us more than originally proposed 4 staying. Note: even with the addition to our party we had less than the number the home advertised sleeping! Owner was condescending, lectured me on how I was supposed to let him know if number in our party changed before 4:00 that day.( I called him at around 6:30, when arriving). He talked to me over phone like I was not to be trusted, lectured me on how he would need to charge us $150 extra per person/day. He was lecturing me on not being forthcoming with him and insisted I let him know who would be staying the whole week and who would not and kept reminding me no one else is to be on his property and absolutely no parties! I assured him multiple times my husband and I are two older professionals who are intending to find a change of scenery for our aging parents , spending some quality time with them relaxing around house and taking some short daily excursion to the park. I assured him we would be treating his house just as we would our own and take good care of things. Things he said and his aggressive, angry tones with me made it clear he had very quickly judged me as someone he could not trust. He continued harassing me with multiple texts for the first couple days, long after paying the extra charges to have the couple extra family members stay first three nights(2 extra= 7 people total for couple days). We had a delay in paying via VRBO initially because my CC company placed a hold on my card b/c vendor I had used two days prior had been hacked. So….. I had to figure that problem out and then establish a new way to make the payment. When my husband called owner, to confirm exactly the amount we owed him with itemization and to assure upset owner we were trying to expedite payment, owner went postal!! Cameras in & outside areas around house. We were NOT comfortable in this house! No contact was ever made with us through rental manager, just the control freak owner. We were also creeped out while we were there because My daughter and father in-law noticed certain windows and lights that were not on or opened would be opened and on periodically. Yes, these areas are locked off from renters and marked “private”. But who was coming and going on property while we were there???

Secluded private property with a wonderful view. Nicely appointed kitchen, living and recreation area as well as multiple patios and deck areas for enjoying the outdoors. Easy access to Acadia National Park and the harbor towns of Desert Mountain Island (30-40 minute drive). The Master BR is not available, so standard bed rooms with queen beds and bathrooms down the hall. Two full baths but no 1/2 bath. It worked for the two couples we had there. Overall a phenomenal experience vacationing Maine with this property to come back to each evening.

This property was amazing! The grounds are beautifully laid out. The house was fully equipped with all the amenities we needed. The host was very responsive to questions. Would recommend to others and will stay here again when in area!

Loved the private location. House is spacious and outdoor areas are fantastic. We enjoyed just walking around the property. Close to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

A clean odor free property in a spectacular setting. Owners are meticulous. We will be back. Renters need to be prepared to walk through public spaces to access bathrooms. Bring a robe.

We loved everything about this property and hope to visit again soon.

Wonderful property w great views! The house is well stocked w everything you need for a getaway. The highlight though is the deck area which we enjoyed every morning & evening.
