Family Vacation
My husband, son and I stayed here on our family vacation to Bar Harbor. Cute and secluded cottage in the woods with views of Leonard Lake. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but close enough to visit the Harbor and Acadia. We really enjoyed it and will recommend it to our friends! Super cute!!

1st Maine Vacation
We were very pleased with our stay at the lake house. We had many amenities provided to us. It is in great location if you want to visit Bar Harbor and Bangor, just wish they would fix the road(lol). We will definitely come back when we visit Maine again. I recommend this place to anyone who visit”s this area.

Cabin in the woods
We absolutely loved this little cabin. It was spotless and decorated so cute. There was an amazing amount of storage, so clothes and luggage were all put away. It was too cool while we were there to swim, but we enjoyed the view of the lake. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location, beautiful home.
We had a spectacular stay at the cabin. Location was excellent with the lake across the road and Ellsworth less than a mile away for all your needs and wants. The house was clean, spacious and well stocked. We couldn’t get the stove on but thankfully we only had one chilly night so not a big deal. It’s an ideal launching point for anything in or around MDI and Bar Harbor.

Relaxing
Cozy and comfortable! Loved the screened in porch! Kitchen is stocked. The only item is you have to walk down the hill and across the road, down the steps to get to the dock.

Quick trip to Bar Harbor
The house was great. Very private, which is what we like. They had everything there you could want, (except spices) for cooking. All utensils, pots, pans, everything! Beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels for the bath and kitchen! We would stay there again in the future.

Gorgeous, quiet property
Our stay was great at the lake house. Clean, quiet, relaxing. The description is a bit misleading, though. The house is not lakeside like it states. You have to travel down a hill and across a street in order to get to the lake. Other than that, highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place for us!
This was the perfect house for our family of three. We walked in to the house, and it was spotless, cozy and nicely decorated. My favorite part was the huge window in the living room. The lake was right across the street and down a hill. Ellsworth is a very cute little town with everything you will need. We spent most of our time in Bar Harbor and Acadia which was about 35 minute drive. Make sure to try the blueberry soda.

Peaceful cabin atmosphere
This property is cozy and peaceful. The pictures do not do justice to how nice the interior is. The outside is fairly private and peaceful. It should be noted that although you can see the lake from this property, one must walk down the driveway and across a one-lane road to reach the lake and dock. The walk back to the house is a decent incline all the way back to the home. Overall we very much enjoyed the atmosphere and home.

Ellsworth stay
The house and property fit our needs. The check-in and out process was super easy. When we arrived we saw a couple big black ants, as our stay progressed we found more and more. The last night of the stay while trying to cook dinner, the oven had quit working. We contacted Vacasa (which was a computerized auto response, not an actual person), and couldn't get it remedied. We left a note for the maintenance crew when we left of all the things we found needing attention.

Acadia vacay
The cottage is as the photos show. A spacious, nice place. It does have black ants upstairs and downstairs - they need to address that problem - saw some on counter in kitchen, so watch where you leave food items. The amenities were sufficient - but only conditioner was provided in the showers. Beds were comfortable. We couldn't use the cute screened-in porch because bright yellow pollen was everywhere. It needs to be deep cleaned - as well as the porch cushions. The location is close to Ellsworth and easy drive to Acadia. The area was very private and quiet. We didn't utilize the canoe, but would have if we had stayed longer. Easy walk to the dock and lovely spot to sit on the deck. Overall, we enjoyed this place. Would recommend if the ant problem was solved.

Fantastic location in Ellsworth and a short distance to Acadia. The location of the house is private and peaceful. It was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. We bought bird food for the bird feeders that were already there and enjoyed a large variety of birds at the feeders. The house has a nice porch deck and fire pit which we enjoyed nightly. Close to shopping and restaurants in Ellsworth. Our stay was the first week of October. I really recommend this house.
