We had a great stay. The place was very clean and cozy. Many of the main items needed were supplied. James the owner was vey nice and welcomed us upon our arrival just to introduce himself and let us know he is available if we needed anything. He also provided us with places to eat and visit. If you want to get some souvenirs, the best place to do this is at Bar Harbor. If we ever come back to main, we will definitely stay here.

Great Maine Vacation

My wife and I, from Atlanta, stayed 3 nights here prior to going back to Portland for 2 more nights. We had a wonderful experience from check in all the way thru check out. The property has everything you could want, and more. James was a great host. He helped us bring our luggage up the stairs and recommended plenty of attractions and nearby restaurants. We loved how close this was to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The quiet street this apartment is located off of was great. We had some rainy weather during the first part of our stay and James even offered to let us stay another night on him. We had plans back in Portland so we could not take him up on the offer. We were surprised and very gracious for such a kind offer. Next time we are back in the area, we will stay here again. It is large enough to sleep even more. Perfect place to stay with a perfect host. Thanks, James!

Fun Times

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a great location for visiting either Schoodic or Mt Desert Island locations of Acadia National Park. Very comfortable place with all the comforts of home. The homemade oatmeal raisin cookies were a nice touch and came in handy on the long hikes in the park.

Great Place Close to Acadia

What a wonderful find. 15 minutes to Acadia; 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. This 2 BR unit had everything we needed. James is a wonderful host. Easy to communicate with, helpful ( He even carried my heavy suitcase up the stairs to the unit). Beds were very comfortable.Area was quiet. We enjoyed looking a birds & wild turkeys out our window. Be aware the unit is up a flight of stairs which is clearly stated & shown in the pictures. I would stay here again next time I come to Maine.

James is an excellent host. We hope to visit again.

James is an excellent host. My husband and I recommend this stay. Very clean. Full size kitchen is like home++. The upstairs 2-bedroom apartment is comfortable and quiet. Thick towels. Beds and pillows excellent. Water pressure in shower and washer/dryer downstairs in the garage -- both great. James will offer quarters for the washer/dryer if you forget to bring. The location is not far from Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. A terrific home base from which to explore Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. Also not far from the Schoodic area, the Charlotte Rhoades Butterfly Garden, Somesville, Blue Hill (check out the Blue Hill Co-op), Deer Island, Bass Harbor, Stoneville, and more. We bought fresh fish in season from the local grocery store on James' specific recommendation and saved. Taking advantage of the gas grill provided. Ellsworth has much to offer, too -- Union River Lobster Pot restaurant (where we saw a Bald Eagle), Lamoine Beach, Woodlawn historic site. Bottomline is, why stay in an overpriced hotel when you can have the convenience of home?

Cozy place with great location and host

Just stayed four nights at this property and we were all very satisfied. The location is great. Close to stores and restaurants in Ellsworth (try Zeppa’s pizza - so good), and easy to get Acadia and surrounding area. The rental is a well appointed apartment above a garage. Must be able to do stairs. The property is basic upon arrival and first impression but well maintained. Inside of apartment was very nice with a large kitchen that was well stocked (we really appreciated that there were spices, condiments, sugar, coffee, etc.). There was even a case of bottled water waiting for us in the fridge. Living room was cozy. Bedrooms were adequate with very comfortable beds. Towels and linens were nice quality. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning sunshine, drinking our coffee. We used the gas grill one evening to cook dinner and it was great. We were able to do a load of laundry while they’re which was super helpful. One of the best parts was the friendliness and helpfulness of James the host. He was there when we arrived to ensure we got in OK and had everything we needed. He was very accessible and helpful throughout our stay offering recommendations of places to go and helpful in solving any minor issue we had such as the grill gas tank running low or needing quarters for the laundry. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Couldn't have been better. Everything was very clean and we had more than what we needed. We slept great. James, our host, was very attentive and gave us great advice on where to park, eat, and even where to see the best sunset. (And it was beautiful!). There were even snack bars, apples, tangerines, condiments, and other food stuff for our use if we wanted it. Definitely A-1!
