Perfect property for a relaxing Maine getaway! Tons of shoreline for the kids to explore, beautiful views from the house, close to Acadia, but without the crowds. No TV, and the kids could have cared less! Heads up, there is also no washer/dryer, which I neglected to notice in the listing, but there is a great laundromat in Ellsworth with WiFi and in a strip mall with a grocery store, so go stock up and do laundry if youâre there for more than a few days! (Eden Laundry) Homeowners are outstanding. They were kind enough to check in with us, were great with our kids, and let us know they were around if we needed them, but we never felt like they encroached on our privacy. Would absolutely recommend for any couples or families with kids! Family of five, it would be a great spot for up to five people! Outstanding!
We enjoyed a wonderful week of relaxing on the deck overlooking the bay and Cadillac Mountain, kayakingwith porpoises and seals nearby, and taking in the surrounding areas of Mt. Desert Island, Blue Hill, and downtown Ellsworth. The cottage is modern, clean and comfortable affording quiet privacy. Emily is a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommend this property.
The property has gorgeous ocean and mountain views. The cottage was very clean with modern updates. Perfect place to stay when visiting Acadia and/or Baileyâs Harbor. It offered a quiet retreat from those busier places while still being a quick drive away.
Second time staying at this location and it did not disappoint. Clean, bright, modern and welcoming. Great place to stay with a pet who enjoys exploring the beach.
Very clean property! Excellent location with respect to Acadia and Ellsworth. All appliances in very good working order and very clean . I did not see that the property did not have a tv but wifi very strong.
This was the best vacation ever. Emily made our stay so perfect. The house had everything. So clean and perfect. I canât say enough what an amazing family trip we had. Thank you Emily!!!
Our family had an amazing time here. The cottage is spacious and clean, and the views of the bay are incredible (and we saw a few seals swimming by). Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed this cottage! It was really nice, very clean and well taken care of. The host was wonderful. Beautiful views and close to Acadia. Would definitely stay again!
The cottage was in a private area yet easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor! The cleanliness was very much appreciated! The beach just steps from the back door allowed kids to go and walk along the beach. Lovely place inside and out!
My family had a wonderful time visiting Maine and staying in this lovely cottage. The view was breathtaking and felt so peaceful! Only 20 minutes from all the thingsâŠwhich to me was perfect!!! The place was clean and had everything we needed!!! Host was so accommodating and very communicative! She recommended some great local food places which my family loved!
My wife and i stay here for a couple days as part of our 10 year anniversary trip. It was perfect for us and we loved it. We didnt expect how close it is to the water. Its really incredible.
Our family of four just LOVED this property. It was our first trip to Maine and we are hooked! This cottage is warm and inviting and simply breathtaking. We had so much fun exploring the beach during low tide and searching for sea shells. We were sad to leave, but cannot wait to come back!
The cottage was perfect for a couple. It's very peaceful and quiet, loved being able to eat breakfast next to the ocean each morning and the drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor is so short. You are good distance away from anything you need and still have the tranquility of nature.
Perfect location (quiet but quick access over to Acadia). As described. Absolutely spotlessly clean. Porch overlooking the water is serene. Thanks for a great stay in this special spot
We loved our stay at Emily and Bobâs place. It is a magical setting and the house is bright, well designed and immaculate. As an upper middle aged couple we appreciate the first floor bedroom with adjacent bath. Our son loved the loft. We also bought our pup!
One unique experience was discovering a 24 hour cheesecake store in Ellsworth!
We hope to make it back soon!
My family stayed at the Cottage for a few nights to explore Acadia/Bar Harbor. We are so glad we stayed outside of the downtown area, this quiet getaway is the perfect escape from the busy nearby attractions. It is well equipped and Emily was a wonderful host. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
If youâre looking for a place to disconnect and unwind, this is the perfect fit for you. First off, the home is absolutely spotless, with comfy beds and ample space. The location is also ideal, the views are incredible. Our little girl had a great time playing on the beach and looking for sea shells. The home is the perfect home base to explore Acadia, Bar Harbor and other nearby attractions. We also really loved Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf. Emily, the hostess, is very knowledgeable and was so helpful during the planning process.
We had a fantastic stay at this house. The house is beautiful and cozy. Very quiet and peaceful location right on the water. Perfect location approximately 20-30min drive to all of the hiking trails of Acadia. Great to retreat back to our quiet VRBO to escape the crowds. Emily was a fantastic host. Very accommodating and accessible. Our baby and dog loved this spot. We would definitely stay here again!
