Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed the peace and quiet and end of road privacy. The cabin was clean and well maintained and we felt very much at home. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone or stay there again.

Outstanding property & location!

Three of us stayed with our two dogs at the property and absolutely loved it! The host had great communication and left us a blueberry cake. This is incredibly roomy. We didn’t have any kids with us but if you’re traveling with teens or young ones this is a great spot. There is a basement w. a couch and tv, and outside has plentiful hangout spaces and a swing set. The views from the deck are awesome! We were fortunate to go to Acadia off season and getting to Bar Harbor or the side the park over there is about 35-40 mins and it flies by quickly, and you are 25 mins from the park closest to the house. We highly recommend it and would love to stay here again! Home away from home feeling as it is quite cozy and comfortable.

Rustic cabin at the foothills of Arcadia National

What a wonderful stay. With a beautiful view of the river and close proximity to Bar Harbour and right next to Arcadia National Park, this was an affordable treasure. We had a great time

Quintessential Down East Maine

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our stay here. The cabin was cozy, inviting and had all the accommodations we needed. The setting: perfect! Right on the tidal river and seemingly in the middle of nowhere—but super close to anything we needed in Ellsworth. Centrally located for easy trips to MDI, Schoodic and Deer Isles/Stonington.Cannot recommend highly enough. We’re definitely putting this on the short list of our favorite places to stay in our most favorite place. We’ll definitely be returning!!

Quick Visit to Acadia

This was our family’s first trip to Acadia, and this home offered a nice proximity to the park and Bar Harbor. It was a comfortable size for our family of four and a huge benefit that we could bring our dog at the last minute. This rental has a ton of potential, but as a family who has rented on VRBO many times in many different places, it did fall short in a few areas.The Pros:Beautiful, private and peaceful locationPet friendlyProximity to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other necessities (dining/errands)Plenty of paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper)Linens/towels providedLaundry on siteQuick responses from hostThe cons:Property would benefit from a deep cleaning and a more thorough clean between guests. kitchen/dining areas and bedding were not clean (to our standards) when we arrived (crumbs, food remnants, dog hair).Kitchen/cooking items are sparse. BYO ice, water and spices for cooking.GPS directs you to the property via Spindle Rd where there is no access. Some friendly neighbors directed us to the next road over so we eventually found it!All in all it was a good stay. Thanks for sharing your spot with us!

Beautiful Home Away From Home

House was secluded and peaceful on an inlet of a tidal river. With our morning coffee we enjoyed watching blue herons, bald eagles, hawks and other water fowl. We were able to bring our dog who we just rescued and didn’t want to leave home. House was well stocked with linens, towels, and everything you'd need in a kitchen. We wanted some place secluded in case our dog barked and this was perfect. There was good communication with the owner who was next door in case we needed anything. The only snafu, and not anything major, was that GPS said the location was down an inaccessable street Spindle Road) but folks who lived on that road were kind enough to give us directions to the location which was a mile further away. I think directions to the listing would be helpful since GPS will not take you there! home.homecoming h hahomhositter

Wonderful stay with a beautiful view

We had a fantastic time. The view of the river is unbeatable. We loved drinking coffee on the deck and watching the wildlife (Bald Eagles, gulls, and seals). I never felt like I had to worry about my dog barking or doing normal dog things.The cabin is very clean, has everything you need and continently located near stores, restaurants, and Bar Harbor. Host is very kind and communicative.
