Book a hotel near Telephone Museum, Ellsworth

"Michelle's cottage was clean, cheery and well appointed. It is on a lake in a quiet area close to Bangor, Acadia and Bar Harbor. I was pleasantly surprised to find both ground coffee with filters as well as coffee pods. She also provided sweetener and a fresh carton of half and half. The kitchen had many spices, oil, cookware, dishes and typical appliances. The bathroom was clean with body wash, shampoo, conditioner and extra toothbrushes and toothpaste if you forgot. There are board games for the kiddos or a rainy day. I have a few recommendations to improve one's stay. These are my opinion based on my preferences and comfort level. A few days during our stay, the weather was unseasonably hot for Maine. The cottage could benefit from a small air conditioner in each bedroom rather than just one bedroom. I do understand that the weather was not typical but it made it rather uncomfortable. The sun rises earlier than anywhere else in the country in Maine. Some blackout shades or curtains in the bedrooms would be helpful.The deck was lovely and would benefit from an umbrella to provide some shade.Again, these are my suggestions that I found myself wanting during my stay. Regardless, I would not hesitate to recommend or stay again should the opportunity arise. Michelle was great with communication and suggestions. The cottage is clean and well appointed in a lovely, quiet location with a fair price. These are key factors in my choosing a rental and they were all met. "

"We had a wonderful time. The owner, John, had a place right next door. He was great, very friendly. The cabin was nice and clean. Branch lake was beautiful and the neighbors were polite. It was a quiet and relaxing area. "

"Cozier than a hotel, very eco friendly, all the farm animals were cute. Fun to explore large property."

"I love this house! It was very clean, the location is beautiful, the decor and the rugs are amazing. The rooms and the furniture are so accommodating for a comfortable stay. In the evenings after sightseeing all day, we had so much fun playing games in the basement or cards at the kitchen table. We greatly appreciate that there were ample supplies of all the necessities. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"We used the cabin as a home base to explore Acadia while having a fun and beautiful place to come back and see the sunsets and sunrises on the water. The little heater was enough to keep us warm during the chilly fall week we were there. Was a great spot for the two of us!"

"It was very nice"
