Wow is all I need to say. This home and property are absolutely gorgeous. The pictures do no justice for this home. The home was spectacular and clean. And the views were stunning. We loved it so much that we will be renting twice a year moving forward. Jon was extremely easy to deal and just all around a nice guy. Just over all a 10/10 experience thank you Jon!

Jon is a very responsive owner. My grandchildren were looking forward to the playset on the property and when I let him know that the swings were missing, he had someone hang them later that day. The playset was very old and splintery however, making it clear that it needed a good refurbishing to make it safe for a 4 and 2 yr old.The property has great views but really needs some trees trimmed to see the river views from the deck. I also thought it would be easier to get into the water for kyacking etc… but that was not our experience.The house also has great bones but could use some major updating. The furnishings were slip covered or outdoor furniture put inside. The bedding and sheets should be updated. Although things were clean, this home lacked the warmth and charm that we have come to expect. With some attention, this property could be improved.We enjoyed the firepit and the outdoor motion lights. The kids enjoyed some of the play things in the basement. It was helpful that there were plenty of fans. The kitchen had most of what we needed.

Thanks for your comments. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We are constantly making updates to the home, with the most recent being air conditioning and environmentally friendly solar panels. Our playground is presently being refurbished this week and fortunately is cedar wood that does not splinter. Sheets are top of the line and updated annually. We are lucky to have water views from every room in the home including the back deck, but we don't clear cut consistent with Maine laws and being environmental friendly. Check out the photos from our deck. And you pointed out that our kitchen exceeds most renters needs. We welcome families that want a feel of Acadia in the back yard with a large comfortable home that provides a peaceful surrounding.

We are delighted that you had a perfect stay. Luckily, the house is located along the water that affords it great views and a cooling breeze. Most homes in Maine don't have AC, but for those rare hot days that do exist, there are both ceiling and space fans for your use. AC may be installed this winter for those rare warm days, so if this is important, feel free to check back.

Family Trip to Maine

The house and property were fantastic. There was plenty of room in the house for everyone to enjoy, especially the great room. The back patio was awesome to sit and relax. Very quiet and excellent views of the river. For those that went paddle boarding on the river, they were greeted every day by a curious seal. Great place to stay!

Family vacation

The house was great for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Loved being on the lake. View was fantastic. Made use of the kayak and loved seeing the bald eagle flying about. Not a far drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. And also enjoyed Ellsworth.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2024
Thanks for your excellent review! We loved having you visit. Just to clarify for readers, the home is on a saltwater inlet to the ocean, not a lake. Kayaking in one direction takes one to town and just around a bend to the ocean. An American Bald Eagle has been hanging out across from the property for the past 5 or so years. Not often does one find this in the wild.

Wonderful Accommodations!

We picked the more centralized location of Ellsworth for our Acadia/Bar Harbor touring on our first trip to Maine because Bar Harbor is pricey and crowded. This house was more than we expected it to be. The views are stunning and the deck and outside areas are very nice! As this place was mid-stay for our tour, the access to a washer and dryer was welcomed. Would definitely stay here again!

Maine Family Vacation

Great property! Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Suggest Whale Watching Tour and sunrise at Cadillac Mountain. We also kayaked on the river right behind the house. Lots today in the area. Enjoyed having a place that was central to what the family wanted to do. Owner kept in touch and was very responsive to our requests. Would go back again!!

So good to relax

Rented this property for myself and 4 other coworkers from across the country while we in the area for training. While we put in very long days at work, it was so good to come back to a place that felt like a vacation. I don’t get that kind of feeling from staying in hotels, which I stay in frequently, so this was a treat, especially with the quiet location and amenities of the property. Will definitely look to stay here the next time we get together in this part of Maine!

The kitchen oven and kitchen toaster should have been cleaner. There needs to be clarity on BR’s with bathroom availability! It isn’t really logical to use the bathrooms with 4 couples.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Oct, 2025
We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for feedback. We are proud of the recent 4 years consisting of 40 guests giving only 5 star reviews. Unfortunately, we had a last minute substitute cleaner with this turnover and it sounds like the oven wasn't inspected as it should have. We target a clean home for your enjoyment and it sounds like the rest of this huge home met that standard. The home does have 5 bedroom sleeping areas and 4 bathrooms. It is super well set up for three couples with their completely own space. And it accommodates 10 people by sharing some of the spaces. Over the past decade of renting, we have also had many other sets of four couples who have been delighted with the home. We are happy to answer questions of other future renters as well.

About the host

Hosted by Jon Fanburg

Host profile image

We lived in this beautiful home for 10 years before moving to Portland, Maine because of our jobs. I won't sell the home because I LOVE the home and location. We have shared the home with over 100 happy renters over the last ten years - just check out the great reviews.

Why they chose this property

True tranquility made us buy this house. Large rooms with high ceilings and big windows make you feel like you are part of nature. At night, you can see the stars from you bed. An added perk is being only 20 minutes from the hiking of Acadia National Park. But you don't even need to travel that far, as seals, osprey, and bald eagles hang out along the river's edge out back of the house.

What makes this property unique

LOBSTER - I LOVE IT. I use to park my boat out back and go check the traps each morning. For those without a boat, you can buy it fresh within 10 minutes of the house (both cooked or live).
