Ellsworth is a great little town. This house is five minutes from the more commercial district and five minutes from the old Main Street district. It’s a little less than a half hour from the front of the park, but the drive in is beautiful. Well kept house and very cute. We highly recommend and would stay here again.

Relaxing home near everything!

We enjoyed our stay in Nestled in Nature, having a kitchen was crucial for four people. The bedrooms were comfortable, the bathroom, clean and lots of hot water! The location was ideal, equal distance between Acadia and the Schoodic portion of the park. We ate more lobster than I budgeted for, not sorry!

Wow, you said the bottom of the window sashes were dirty. I know that you found the kitchen clean, the bathrooms clean, the floors clean, the bedding clean. I hope you used the newly painted deck to stargaze, or cook on the grill? If you have a need, please express it to the property manager.
