Very secluded. Nice area. Unit was as listed. If arriving after dark as we did, the road (more of a driveway) isn’t easily seen. Very convenient to many restaurants and shopping. Arcadia park is easily accessible from the unit. Would stay again.

Comfortable home for two people.

The house was well furnished, clean and comfortable. It was off the beaten path so we didn’t have the highway noise. Great place to stay

The cottage was welcoming, well furnished, cozy and very clean. The host was friendly, lived nearby and was there when needed, very attentive, but otherwise made herself scarce and gave us privacy on our stay. There were plenty of restaurants we wanted to check out in the area, but found ourselves using the grill for dinner and staying in most nights. It was nice to experience the crowded tourist attractions during the day, and have a comfortable, quiet place to relax at night. I highly recommend.

Private wooded retreat

We enjoyed our stay at the Wooded Retreat. It was very clean, neat and spacious. It had a well equipped kitchen and laundry area which we appreciated. It was a great location, private and away from the crowds, yet easy to get to everything.

Maine Retreat

Nice place to base for exploration of the area. Clean and cozy. Close enough to Acadia to be a comfortable commute. We had a great time and had a great place to return to after some awesome day trips to enjoy the beautiful region. Hosts were great.

Maine getaway

Very amazing getaway in the woods, located not too far from Acadia national park. Amazing fall foliage and natural beauty everywhere you look, even just looking out the properties windows. Amazing service, very clean, there were towels, pots, pans, dishes, salt, pepper, it had all of the little things that make a place truly perfect.

Peaceful retreat house

Very clean and well stocked. Everything you could need! The house is about 40 minutes from Bar Harbour. It was nice to get away from the crowds and traffic when we returned to the house in the evenings. Kelly was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you Kelly.

Acadia Retreat

I’ll admit I’m a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to rentals/hotels but this place put me at ease! It was spectacularly clean, spacious rooms with modern, minimal design. We only stayed for 3 nights, however, the home was well stocked and even an Acadia park pass was provided. It was about a 40 minute drive into Bar Harbor or Acadia and a nice respite from all the crowds. Kelley was the perfect hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful spot for Acadia getaway

The first thing we said when we walked in was "Wow, what a cute house!" The home comes clean and fully stocked with whatever you might need. You're just far enough to avoid the chaos during peak season but close enough for a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National. The hosts Kelley and Greg are great, provide everything you need and communicate great from booking all the way through checkout. I would highly recommend this home for a couple's getaway and we hope to return in the years to come!

Great stay in Ellsworth

We had a great stay here in Ellsworth. The home was well decorated, modern, and as listed. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need and plenty of toiletries. The location was great and only a 30-40 min drive to Acadia. Kelley was quick to respond and great at communicating with us. We did notice quite a few bugs in the bedroom upon our arrival which we understand we’re in a wooded area, but didn’t expect to encounter so many that got in within the house itself so this was the only downside of our stay.

Beautifully decorated, clean and full of all things for a comfortable stay. We mainly were there to hike as many trails as possible Acadia National Park. We found Bar Harbor too crowded so checked out Ellsworth. We enjoyed the food and beer at Fogtown brewery and Airline Brewing

Wooded Retreat Home

We spent 3 nights and would highly recommend this property. The home was spotless! Also had anything we might need while cooking, relaxing or doing laundry. Outdoor deck had comfy chairs to sit and read. Approximately 20 miles from Acadia, stores and restaurants nearby. Don’t look any further, you will love it.

Wonderful place for a quiet retreat

Thank you, Kelley, for your hospitality! The cottage is great! Very quiet and comfortable, clean and spacious, and cozy at the same time. The kitchen is very well equipped for stay at home dinner, and everything one needs to pack a good snack for a day's hike. The location is very convenient as well, within easy drive to all the wonderful destinations. We loved staying here for the second year in a row and will love to come back again. Thank you again, Eugene and Marina

Nice accommodation

Very Nice owner. Kelley was very accommodating. Everything was neat as a pin, and very clean. Well furnished and spacious. Nice sitting area outside and owner was thoughtful enough to provide a motion light at the entryway when arriving at night. Also was thoughtful enough to have a canopy over the door entryway in case it’s raining so that you’re not fumbling with keys or codes - and getting soaking wet in doing so. Large TV and plenty of drawer and closet space. Only drawback is that this property is on the west side of Ellsworth about 5 miles out. If you’re going to Bar Harbor, it’s a 48 minute drive each way. I should have picked up on that before booking. My error.
