We spent 3 nights and would highly recommend this property. The home was spotless! Also had anything we might need while cooking, relaxing or doing laundry. Outdoor deck had comfy chairs to sit and read. Approximately 20 miles from Acadia, stores and restaurants nearby. Don’t look any further, you will love it.

Very clean and well stocked. Everything you could need! The house is about 40 minutes from Bar Harbour. It was nice to get away from the crowds and traffic when we returned to the house in the evenings. Kelly was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you Kelly.

Wonderful place for a quiet retreat

Thank you, Kelley, for your hospitality! The cottage is great! Very quiet and comfortable, clean and spacious, and cozy at the same time. The kitchen is very well equipped for stay at home dinner, and everything one needs to pack a good snack for a day's hike. The location is very convenient as well, within easy drive to all the wonderful destinations. We loved staying here for the second year in a row and will love to come back again. Thank you again, Eugene and Marina

Nice accommodation

Very Nice owner. Kelley was very accommodating. Everything was neat as a pin, and very clean. Well furnished and spacious. Nice sitting area outside and owner was thoughtful enough to provide a motion light at the entryway when arriving at night. Also was thoughtful enough to have a canopy over the door entryway in case it’s raining so that you’re not fumbling with keys or codes - and getting soaking wet in doing so. Large TV and plenty of drawer and closet space. Only drawback is that this property is on the west side of Ellsworth about 5 miles out. If you’re going to Bar Harbor, it’s a 48 minute drive each way. I should have picked up on that before booking. My error.

My husband and I stayed really enjoyed this property. It is on a small private lane just off the main road into Ellsworth. It was very clean, decorated nicely and had very comfortable furniture! We both agreed that it was one of the best that we have stayed in, and we travel a fair amount. If we are in the area in the future, we would definitely book again!

Absolutely! Here’s a more detailed review that you might find useful: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our recent stay at this Vrbo property was nothing short of spectacular! The home is beautifully maintained, incredibly clean, and provides a serene environment that made our stay so relaxing. It truly had everything we needed and more, from fully equipped kitchen facilities to cozy, well-appointed living spaces. What sets this property apart is its location. Situated perfectly between Bangor Airport and Bar Harbor, it offered the ideal central point for our explorations. Whether you’re looking to experience the natural beauty of Acadia National Park or need convenient access to travel hubs, this spot is unbeatable. We were particularly impressed by the thoughtful touches throughout the home, which made us feel both welcomed and pampered. It’s clear that the hosts have gone above and beyond to create a haven for their guests. I can wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a top-notch, hassle-free stay in the area. It’s a definite must!

Acadia Retreat

I’ll admit I’m a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to rentals/hotels but this place put me at ease! It was spectacularly clean, spacious rooms with modern, minimal design. We only stayed for 3 nights, however, the home was well stocked and even an Acadia park pass was provided. It was about a 40 minute drive into Bar Harbor or Acadia and a nice respite from all the crowds. Kelley was the perfect hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

First Visit to Maine

You won’t find a rental house cleaner and better stocked with all you could need than Kelly’s house! We had the best time visiting Acadia and the surrounding area. The location was convenient without being in the middle of the crowds. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years and this was by far the best!

Great stay in Ellsworth

We had a great stay here in Ellsworth. The home was well decorated, modern, and as listed. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need and plenty of toiletries. The location was great and only a 30-40 min drive to Acadia. Kelley was quick to respond and great at communicating with us. We did notice quite a few bugs in the bedroom upon our arrival which we understand we’re in a wooded area, but didn’t expect to encounter so many that got in within the house itself so this was the only downside of our stay.
