Peaceful convenience

We had a lovely peaceful stay. Gorgeous views, great to kayak straight out onto the lake. Ellsworth is a gorgeous small town with lots of art, beer and quirky shops. Convenient for Acadia National Park which is a ‘must visit’. The accommodation was clean, well kept and had great amenities.If you want a relaxed vibe this is for you. Ps you will need transport.

Town Hill Stay.

The property is about 20 mins from Bar Harbor. It is very secluded and quiet, just right for a relaxing holiday. The living area is comfortable and so is the bed. The owners give you all the information you need and are available to contact should you need to.

Great place right in the town of Bar Harbor

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights from Fri 29th September. The instructions for how to find the house and get the key were easily followed. It was clean, tidy and comfortable. We loved the place. The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped. The laundry facilities were excellent. Susan was very quick to respond to any queries we had. The house is very convenient to the town - handy to be able to leave the car parked and take the bus from the village green into the national park for long walks. We were very fortunate with the weather 25 -30 degrees C, bright blue skies and sunshine, and we walked all over the town, enjoyed the shore path walk, all the usual touristy things. Our favourite part of Acadia was Sand beach: it was like a summer day when we were there but without the summer crowds. We can certainly recommend Susan''s house if you're looking for somewhere quiet yet convenient to the town centre.
