My husband and I stayed here while visiting Acadia. It was perfect for our short stay. Since this was our first time visiting, I didn't understand the proximity of things. So, the house is about 20 min. from the Hulls Visitor Center entrance and 30 min. from downtown Bar Harbor. We just left first thing in the morning, hiked all day, had an early dinner, and headed back to relax for the evening.

We had a great stay. The cottage is cute and very cozy. And dog friendly. The owner was easy to reach and quick to respond. Relaxing view of the bay from the deck. Nice stay.

We loved the location, layout, and comfy master bed. We were a bit disappointed with cleanliness- ceiling fans and baseboards/ corners needed attention.

Very clean, quaint house. The fenced in area was absolutely perfect for my German Shepherd. The queen bed was very comfy!

House was nice and clean. Nancy was responsive and helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Only downside was the location on a fairly busy road not very close to any town.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a great location to see Acadia, Bar Harbor and surrounding sites!

My family and I had a really great stay at this charming Ellsworth cottage. The sunset views overlooking the bay are spectacular and a gorgeous backdrop for dinner on the porch at the outdoor dining table. The house is on a main road so it can be a little noisy at night, but this is only applicable if you have young kids who go to bed early, like mine do. Considering the cottage is dog friendly, don’t be surprised by some leftover dog hair lol. We found some little clumps in the living room, so I imagine the cleaning crew did a bit of a quick once over during a busy turnover season, but not a deal breaker in any way. The house is obviously well cared for, the renovations are meticulous and clearly done with an eye for detail. The location is central and the house is so quaint, definitely recommend!

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and 2 pups stayed at Nancy's the 1st week in August. The breeze from the "backyard bay" was excellent and we had some stellar sunsets. The first morning, we saw a mama deer with her 3 babies trotting across the backyard. It was precious!! The house was nice and cool with plenty of space for everyone. The fenced yard for the dog was a perfect addition. We adventured in Acadia and Bar Harbor and it was nice to be slightly removed from the hustle and bustle so that we could retire at night after long days of hiking and exploring. The house was also a great proximity to Hannaford (for groceries), a local pizza & sub shop, Fog Town Brewing and L.L. Bean!! We even had a chance to catch Timber Tina's Lumberjack show (about 5 minutes down the road, every night at 7PM)!! We brought our kayaks up for the week and were able to launch them just up the street at Ellsworth's Harbor Park & Marina. The Union River takes you out to the Bay. We saw a Bald Eagle, 2 Golden Eagles and even a Harbor Seal!! The only things we had trouble with during the week related to the house were... - the ceiling fan in the kids bunk room was much too close for the person in the top bunk to sleep without worrying about the fan hitting them in the middle of the night. - the outdoor hose was a bit finicky. - the kitchen microwave, while super cute, did not heat things very quickly/efficiently. - the coffee table in the living room wasn't great for doing puzzles or playing board games. Nothing that ruined the week, just small suggestions for future guest/stays. We really truly had a fabulous time in this beautiful house in a great location in Maine!! :)

We had a wonderful time in Ellsworth/Bar Harbor! Our accommodations were superb. Everything was as stated. Very clean house, well stocked kitchen, beautiful view from deck, close to town but still in the country with occasional deer and wild turkeys in the field behind the house. Will definitely check if this property is available when we return in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and had all the basics needed in the kitchen. We had 5 kids with us, but there was enough beds for everyone. There were plenty of towels and having laundry on site saved us from having to pack too many clothes. We enjoyed seeing deer in the field behind the property. It was only an 8 minute drive to Mt Desert Island, and there was a Walmart less than 5 minutes away.

Overall a good stay. Cleaning could use more attention. I saw dust and dead flies along the wall in the living room and also dog hair on sofa(we don't have dogs).

We really enjoyed our time here! The cottage is just as described! It’s clean, comfortable, well stocked, and in a great location! Being roughly half an hour from Bar Harbor allowed us to quickly go wherever we wanted in town but escape to the quiet after a long day of exploring. The view off the back porch was lovely as well! Thank you for being such a wonderful host to us and our pups!

This is an uplifting place to stay in. Really, that's all the review that is needed, but this home is BRIGHT, very clean and well thought out. I've been staying in BnBs for 5 months now and I've grown to be able to tell the difference between a place that is thrown together, simply because the owners "have a place to rent out as income." That's all well and fine, but that does NOT mean you have a (truly) viable BnB! No, at this place, an assortment of towels are available, everything is clean and functional and there are fine touches throughout, which actually suggest the host WANTS you to legitimately feel welcome. All that aside, the BRIGHTNESS of the place is just as I said-uplifting. Also it is conveniently located on a major route, though, comfortably enough back from the road and you have an amazing view out back onto the water. Washer and dryer are conveniently down in the clean and dry basement, so you don't have to hear them running while you're watching something on the large screen TV in the living room. Choose this place. Won't dissapoint. Oh! Also, we had a blizzard while we were there and someone came to shovel the walkway. Very accommodating and communicative host.🙂
