If you are looking for quiet, this is the place. On our first day, we heard the sounds of loons, as well as hummingbirds. The view was inspiring. On occasion, you may see a boat. It is the perfect place to decompress. The sunsets were out of this world. Pending on time of year, you may want to pack some bug spray, if you want to spend time on the beautiful deck. Master bed was very comfortable. No need to leave the cottage, as it was comfortable enough and clean but if you are looking to go into a bigger town, Ellsworth is only 30 minutes from cottage. Bar Harbor/Acadia Nat'l Park about 45 to 60 minutes. We were very fortunate, as we had the perfect weather the first week in June. Not too hot/not too cool. We would love to return someday and would definitely recommend this cottage.
