Wonderful property -- we were very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. We had a great time kayaking around the very peaceful lake, which we did 3 times over the course of our stay. We also did a daily drive into different parts of Acadia National Park on most days. The property was close to Ellsworth, which made finding places to eat very easy. Speaking of eating, we enjoyed picking the in-season blackberries from the bushes surrounding the yard. We had a very nice time here.
communication was great, lovely view of the lake, great kayaking the lake & river up tobrapids. Enjoyed swimming below the rapids. Easy dock to get in and out of kayaks, kitchen is well stocked, onlyb20 minutes to Acadia with an early start, 6am, all parking lots open. Wonderful place to be a couple & relax or play.
Beautiful view. The home was very clean had lots of pots and pans for cooking. Plenty of towels. The host also gave us great recommendations. We had a great time. Itâs 35 minutes to Acadia National Park.
We were originally looking for a place closer to (or in) Bar Harbor. Because of the time of year, the options were more limited, prices were higher, and we also read about the number of tourists in the area. So, we expanded our search and found this property. It was perfect and we loved it here. The hosts have done a great job. The apartment is well equipped with everything we needed. It's a short drive to the island and other attractions in the area, and it's located in a very quiet area. We even took advantage of the kayaks and went out onto the lake for a few hours one morning. We would definitely consider staying here again if we are ever in the area.
Very clean and lovely place to stay! View of the lake was great to see in the morning and the property was a good location for trips to Ellsworth and Acadia
We had a lovely peaceful stay. Gorgeous views, great to kayak straight out onto the lake. Ellsworth is a gorgeous small town with lots of art, beer and quirky shops. Convenient for Acadia National Park which is a âmust visitâ. The accommodation was clean, well kept and had great amenities.If you want a relaxed vibe this is for you. Ps you will need transport.
This place fit all of our needs. Nice view ofbthe water, comfy king bed, full kitchen. A minor inconvenience with the TV was the lack of the standard broadcast channels, so I missed an NBA playoff game, but Netflix was easy to log on and use. Great place to stay if you are visiting Acadia/Bar Harbor. Oh, and you MUST visit Momo's Cheesecake store! Delicious desserts, all on the honor system!
Stayed here so we could be both close to acadia and near friends in orono and still be flexible. Convenient as intended and Ellsworth is a cute town with good eats and drinks. Peaceful location with everything we needed.
We really enjoyed our stay in this rental. Everything was clean, the King size bed was very comfortable. Great to have your coffee in the yard each morning, listen to the birds, and watch the activity on the lake. Hosts quick to respond to questions. Really appreciated having a washer/dryer available so we did not have to go home w/ smelly running and hiking clothes! Gas station and small market are nearby for any quick grocery runs you might need to do. Easy drive to Bar Harbor/Acadia Natl. Park. You will hear some noise from the upstairs apartment if people are home, but we didn't find it bothersome. Overall a pleasant stay and we would come back!
We loved staying here at this cozy waterfront property. It was spacious and with a functional kitchen which was a plus! The location, although a bit away from Acadia, offered an escape from the busy-ness of Bar Harbor. The surroundings are serene with a lake just upfront. Overall a good experience. Just be prepared to check out on the dot at 10.00AM to make way for the cleaners.
What a perfect stay. The apartment was AMAZING!!! Everything was spot on and then some. Spacious, clean, updated and lacking nothing. What a perfect, quiet location. Hosts were knowledgeable of the area, responsive and made the stay a breeze. Most everything in the area is within an hour drive and anything youâd need is in town 5 min away. Weâre making this our go to in Maine when in Maine ;)
This was a perfect place to stay. We were within a 30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. There is a great water view and we could come and just sit outside and enjoy the view after a day of strenuous hiking. Close enough stores to grab what we needed to eat at home. It was a great for the 2 of us.
The lodging and amenities were lovely. Sitting by the lake was restorative and peaceful. Head's up: if the upper unit is rented, you will hear noises from above. Overall, a delightful getaway.
Great location for heading in any direction on the coast. Accommodations have everything you need inside and out. Host was very easy to work with and very prompt response to any questions.
The view alone is reason enough to stay here. Scrupulously clean. The mattress on the king bed is so comfortable that you don't want to get up. Good location to town with a country feel. I highly recommend.
Wonderful space. Had no propane when we tried to grill dinner and the Host had propane brought out the very next day. We also brought to attention the broken kitchen table chair. We had to bring in outdoor chairs to eat at the table. Hopefully they'll fix that for the next guest. Overall it was a great place and a wonderful trip.
Enjoyed our stay in Ellsworth. Loved coming home after a long eventful day in Bar Harbor to a clean and immaculate kept property. My wife loved the kitchen and how well stocked it was with utensils and Tupperware. It could use some central air. On hot days, the window unit struggled to keep the home cool. Other than that, fantastic job on making guests feel at home and comfortable. Well done!
