The house was very clean, we really enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the pond. The host even left stuff for the kids to enjoy s’mores around the campfire.

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.

This house was a dream, the location was perfect, the house was very clean, it had everything we needed! The yard is where we spent all our time when we were there! Rupert was great l, he was so understanding when we asked to extend our trip an extra day do to a family member getting sick on day 1 and our 1st day was tied up with that. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

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!

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!

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.

The property is on an amazing location on the water.The house was well maintained and there was excellent information on where to go for restaurants and different things to do in the area. If we ever come back to Maine this will be a place we stay again.

Beautiful Maine cottage on a small, crystal-clear pond in Maine. About halfway between Bangor and Bar Harbor (Acadia). Also great access to Deer Isle, Stonington, Blue Hill, and ferry to Isle au Haut (Acadia). Beautiful waterfront with kayaks and canoes, life vests, swim float. The owners beautifully furnished the cottage, and it's clean and well-equipped with absolutely everything you might need, including AC (it was a particularly hot and sticky week). It does back up to Rt. 1, so there is some traffic noise, but it didn't really bother us.The bugs were aggressive, but they backed off after the weather cooled down. 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!

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 Serene Pond Setting

Communication was great from making reservations to departing. Property was easy to find right along highway and in evening traffics noise was very quiet. Home set up as described and we had everything needed to feel right at home and cooking. Beautiful setting right on the pond and water was like glass in evenings and mornings. Plenty of room and has wifi that can get a little weak at times but we still continued to do some work and all is good. Would recommend to anyone needing a few days away to enjoy a book or to visit all the nearby attractions.
