My husband and two kids enjoyed our time at Zephyrus Cottage so much. It was our first visit to Maine and the house proved to be a great home base for our exploration of the area, from Acadia National Park to Schoodic to Bar Harbor. Sure, there was a bit of driving involved, but the semi-remote location of the house provided a great setting for relaxation and we enjoyed swimming, reading, and cooking at the house.
The house itself was the perfect size for our family of four, but it certainly wouldn't feel crowded with the addition of a few more for larger groups. We were pleased with the amenities provided for doing laundry, as well as the provision of basic kitchen supplies provided by Dan and possibly other guests, and we added some unopened pantry staples to the mix. There is a small store a few miles away for basic supplies as you come into town, but we found ourselves passing through Ellsworth every couple of days and often stopped to buy additional groceries. Of note, be sure to stop at Marden's in Ellsworth for great deals on all things Maine! Prices are about 2/3 of those in the shops in Bar Harbor.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Maine and Zephyrus Cottage played a big part. Thanks for sharing your lovely home, Dan!
