House was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the pond and firepit. Host was very responsive when I couldn't get the code correct on the digital lock and gave me an alternative code. A little noisy at times, since it is right off Route 1 traffic. Otherwise, convenient to Ellsworth for restaurants and groceries (15 minutes). I would stay there again.

This was a wonderful choice. Place was stocked with everything we needed and a little more. Beds were wonderful! Very clean. Host was very responsive the one time we needed to contact him. On a very busy highway so getting in and out of the driveway was hard but lovely area.

Cozy cottage on a scenic pond

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautifully decorated, very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect location for our exploration of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Lovely cottage, gorgeous setting

My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Host is easy to communicate with and clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. Property is warm, clean and inviting. Setting is so pretty and peaceful. It is a bit close to the road, so you will hear cars/trucks, but that was not a major issue to us. Lots to do on/near the property, and plenty more if you venture out! Would happily stay again!

Great Stay!

We wanted a home centrally located to the areas we would be visiting and this location was perfect. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the stay. We wish we could have enjoyed the beautiful yard and pond more, but we had a very busy schedule of activities and sights and were limited on time.

Beautiful Maine cottage! The house has a great location off the Acadia Hwy that is a short drive to Acadia, Ellsworth and Camden. Comfy beds and many thoughtful details including the makings for s’mores over the fire pit! The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a great vacation. A highlight of our trip was the back patio overlooking the pond with a fire pit! We spent every evening enjoying a fire and recounted our adventures of the day. The only downside was some traffic noise but with the great location was not an issue.Our host responded quickly to questions and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend!

great stay in a cozy cottage on the pond

This was our home base for a few days as we explored New England. the house was great and the pond made for a nice evening swim. The light switch locations are a bit funny but we found that to be charming. Thanks for letting us stay in your place!

I usually don’t do reviews. But I have to say, this place was the best VRBO place I have ever stayed in. It was so clean, updated, beautiful view of the lake. Everything you need is available. We even had canoes and kayaks available. The owners have restaurant and area info readily available. If you are looking for a place in the middle of all the shopping and nightlife, this place is not for you. But if you are looking for a place to relax and just enjoy some peace and serenity, this is perfect.

Cute cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin on Heart Pond for 4 days in June 2024. The outdoor amenities provided by the owners were great, canoes, tubes, paddle board, a delightful shaded patio, fire pit, grill and much more...including a beautiful view. We lounged and played in or by the water almost the entire time. This is a great place.
