Cozy comfortable home
We were very pleased with this home and all the amenities provided. The beds were very comfortable! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We enjoyed having the firepit to sit around at night. The host responded immediately when i called with a question.

Older House, Well Kept, Great Amenities
We enjoyed our stay in Ellsworth. The house is an interesting older house that has been updated in a number of ways. The owners provide everything you would need from spices in the kitchen, to soaps, to bug repellent using green materials where appropriate. They are very communicative and want to make your stay comfortable and convenient.

The house is very comfortable and the hosts thought of everything. There were lots of books and brochures about local activities, a handy binder with info about the house, quality linens and everything you need for your stay. We would definitely go back.

Ellsworth is a great option for Acadia visit
If you're visiting Acadia NP and searching outside of Bar Harbor, this house is an excellent place to stay. The house was perfectly clean. The bath towels were soft and fluffy. The three bedrooms will sleep six adults comfortably, with one King bed and two Queens, with modern mattresses and fluffy pillows. The kitchen is spacious and has the amenities you would expect. There is even a separate faucet for filtered water at the kitchen sink. The WiFi is incredibly fast, with easy login. The host was very responsive via text message and happy to answer all of my questions about the region, even though half my questions were already answered in the handy info binder in the kitchen. The firepit had a bundle of wood waiting for us. We only used the main TV but it had Netflix and YouTube TV available. Ellsworth has a quaint main street with a handful of restaurants and non-touristy stores. It also has grocery stores and other stores to buy items necessary for your stay. The drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor is scenic. We chose the right place.

Wonderful Stay
The property was more than we as two people needed but was close to many areas we were visiting including Acadia NP and surrounding areas including Schoodic Penninsula. The property was clean, functional and had history included. It had all the amenities necessary for a week long stay. We ate out so did not cook in but had all the equipment to cook in. Staying off island had its advantages. A couple possible improvements would be a couple of handles going down the cellar for the washer and dryer would be good for us older folks. Also would recommend hand bars in the shower stall and providing a removable bath mat for older people using the shower to feel more secure and balanced. Highly recommend and thank the hosts for having us at their beautiful property.
