The house was very comfortable and in a idyllic location. Host was very easily accessible and his list of activities and restaurants as well as house highlight was informative and helpful.
Beautiful house and perfect location for our family vacation. House was clean, beds were comfortable and having 4 bathrooms was a plus. Great views and centrally located - 30 minutes to Acadia, Bar Harbor, Bangor. Host was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend
The property was great!We really enjoyed our time. The river was beautiful. We really appreciated the fire pit! Thanks so much everything was great.Highly recommend!!!
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.
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!
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!!
The house is exactly as pictured, the beds are comfortable, plenty of room for the family. Easy check in, host was easily reachable and checked in to make sure everything was going well.
Host was amazing!! Plenty of space for a large family. We were hoping for more blinds on the windows, but we knew to expect it ahead of time from the listing. We had no problems, and the location was amazing! Quiet neighborhood and gorgeous views.
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!

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.
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!
From the moment we step in to the house we knew we had made the right decision. The view of the river was fantastic. We discovered an eagles nest across the river and watched it catch fish a soar up and down the river. The house was equipped with everything we needed we highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Bar Harbor area. The next time we visit Maine, we will definitely stay there. It was a pleasure speaking with the owner. He also sent a list of places to visit and the best places to eat
The property is very private, surrounded by woods. The home was perfect and full of windows overlooking the river that wrapped around the point. The pictures do not do it justice. There is plenty of room to relax indoors or out. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are nearby as many other local destinations. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and kayaking just out the back door. The host was very attentive and easily available to contact, if needed. Staying in this home and the beautiful spot it’s on was in and of itself a retreat. We hope to return.
For our group of 10, the spacious layout of this property was awesome. Jonathan was most helpful right from the early stages of booking. Thank you.
A couple of items that would have been helpful in the property description: no AC, & no blinds to keep out early morning sun
One member of our family is wheelchair bound so the entrances were challenging, but with a couple of strong family members we were able to make do. Once inside great. Many thanks.
Our family of six adults stayed at the house for 7 days. Great layout for my mom since bedrooms and common areas are located on the same level. House is located on a beautiful spot by a river away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor which is about a 30 minute drive. Easy access to Bangor airport which was about a 45 minute drive from the the house. The house is bright with lots of large windows and an open floor plan with lots of gathering spaces and there is a large deck space which is well shaded by trees. Jon is a very hands-on host and very accessible when we had questions. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking simple meals. We had a relaxing and enjoyable week.

Beautiful views in a great location!
We were 2 families of four making our first trip to Maine. We chose this house due to it's size and location. We had plenty of room to spread out, and, as advertised, the views of the river and the convenient location made it a great place for us to enjoy Bar Harbor and Acadia! The owner was wonderful to deal with and very helpful. We had everything we could possibly need, and the descriptions in the listing were accurate, but two things we didn't realize, which would have been helpful to know, were: 1) The upstairs master bedroom with the only king bed is actually a loft (open to the living area below). The adults in our group wanted privacy and quiet, so two children ended up getting the master bedroom! 2) The bedroom with the futon did not have a door, so that was another sleeping area without privacy. Overall, this home, although a bit dated, was a lovely and enjoyable place to stay!
We are four couples that have traveled together for years. This is on of the best homes we have ever stayed for our fall vacation. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The property is secluded along a quiet river with impressive viewes. There is plenty of room both inside and outside the home. Acadia National Park is a short drive away with amazing views and trails for all levels of hikers. And don't forget, this is LOBSTER country. Visit one of the many lobster pounds in the area.
