Perfect location for our Acadia NP trip. We traveled with our adult children and we had plenty of space for the 7 of us. We had nightly deer visitors in the backyard. The home was exactly as described and in a convenient quiet location. Check in and check out were a breeze. Would certainly recommend the home and the hosts!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, spacious home in Ellsworth. It had plenty of room for our family, and the quiet neighborhood made it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. We especially enjoyed the peaceful, tree-lined backyard.The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the reclining sofa was perfect for a cozy movie night after a full day of adventures.The location was ideal—just about 30 minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, making it easy to enjoy family adventures during the day while returning to a comfortable, peaceful home each evening. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great home base for exploring the area.Thank you for a wonderful stay—we made some great family memories here!

Ellsworth stay

Beautiful property with good privacy. We saw wildlife(deer) in back yard. Very comfortable and home like. Had everything we needed to be comfortable and were able to cook some meals while on vacation. Close to stores, restaurants, yet in a nice neighborhood and felt like we were in the country with the wooded, private back yard. Not far from Bar Harbor, maybe 15 miles. Convenient for visiting Acadia National Park. Owners were very attentive to my messages. I didn't even have to ask them about check in and check out, they contacted me. I would highly recommend this property.

Family trip to Maine!

Overall the property and neighborhood was beautiful! Very clean and quiet. Ellsworth is a cute little town not to far from Bar Harbor and Acadia. It has Martha’s diner which was a favorite of my Dads when he and Mom used to go up to ME. I got to stop in for Blueberry pancakes and to replace his mug I broke… (he’s been gone 7 years so breaking that mug a couple years back was heartbreaking.) the house was perfect for us basically 2 masters, which was great since my mom could have the ground floor and me and my husband had the upstairs and each kid had a bedroom. Only fault to the upstairs 2/3 bedrooms was lack of furniture to put your clothes in or phones/tablets to charge by the bed! But the beds were pretty comfortable. The couch was nice and big! My daughter fondly named the deer Fred and Toby. Lol! The kitchen was nice, bare but enough dish ware and cookware to make due so we weren’t eating out more than one meal a day! The back deck was lovely, though could use about 2 more chairs. The only flaw with the house is the front porch steps. Here in MD if there is more than 2 steps you need a railing! My mom definitely needed support going up them since there was none. The front walk is slate and pretty but watch your step! Myself and the kids both stumbled a time or two Lol, them too excited me I had to much in my hands to see! Over all this property was great! Definitely made our trip as comfortable as being at home!

We wanted to love this property (& offered to share concerns privately).PROS: beautiful home, clean, great location, quality appliances, quiet street, ample living/sleeping space, decent water pressure, fairly accessible ground floor, responsive owners. 3 A/C units, which is unusual for Maine but appreciated.CONS: There's 1 door into the house & the stairs are all set at different heights. There's also NO HANDRAIL. My 83yo MIL struggled a lot. The porch light wasn't on when we arrived after midnight; easily fixed with a motion-sensor light. In combination with the terrible stairs and lack of rail, it was dangerous. The king bed US is literally 36 in high. I could barely get in, thanks to the next issue: there are no stepstools in the house. There are also no unbreakable dishes, and pulling glassware off a very high shelf in the kitchen was also dangerous. Not kid friendly to use either. There is nowhere to sit in the bedrooms, which made getting dressed needlessly hard. Two rooms have a closet but no drawers; the third room US has drawers but no access to a closet. If you're going to do this, at least provide suitcase stands, otherwise your guests' clothes are on the floor. The bunk room does NOT have an AC unit - not a deal-breaker in Maine, but there need to be FANS. Also, tell guests it's a Keurig or leave Kcups - that first morning was rough, lol.There were other odd choices that made us think the owners aren't fully understanding their guests' needs & experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 August 2025
We are very sorry you did not enjoy our home. Just wanted to clarify a few details for further renters. We do indeed have a back door to a fenced in area and back yard. As far as the front entrance we have 2 steps to the front porch. We have two king sized beds in our home one with a box spring and one without both within normal size. We have everyday glassware typical in a rental. We infact do not have steps stools in our home. Dishes are easily reached by our 11 year old child. We have 2 ceiling fans in our home a heat pump and 2 ac units that cool our home very well. As advertised we have a keurig machine for use by renters with no advertising of k pods to go with it. Again so sorry you were not satisfied with our property.

Perfect home-away-from-home for us!

This beautiful house is near the end of a dead-end road, so it feels very private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We are two parents, of two adult children, each have a partner/spouse, and one 2-year-old — so we needed a house where we could have at least three bedrooms (we wanted the fourth bedroom in case a nephew joined us, but he didn't). We were in town to attend the covid-postponed wedding of a cousin, to see family who live in the area, and to visit Acadia National Park. The house is big enough that we all felt that we had enough space. The beds are quite comfortable, and we appreciated the sheets of clear instructions left by the owners. Our son & his wife were glad to see the collection of children's books in their upstairs bedroom, as they hadn't brought many books along for their young one. The kitchen was more than adequate for our needs, though it would be nice to have a table where everyone could sit together (the house sleeps 8, but the only table seats 4, with a kitchen island that seats two more). The living room is big enough that we were all able to gather there. It has a very comfortable sectional sofa with two reclining seats. The owners were very responsive to every question we had.

Friends trip to Acadia

Nice, clean, as-advertised property in quiet, private neighborhood full of beautiful trees. We hardly knew there were other houses. Deer visited the backyard daily during our stay. Home was comfortable. Our only suggestion is that owners might consider adding some more plates/bowls, a cutting board, and serving bowls as we had to run the dishwasher after each meal for our party of 7 because of plates. A few cozy throws for enjoying chilly evenings on the back patio would be great as well. Overall, a very functional home for our needs though. Acadia entrance is a good 30 min from Ellsworth, so we were wishing we were slightly closer. Ellsworth has quite a few restaurants, but even in the high season of summer, many were oddly closed on Monday and Tuesday….even a couple on Wednesday, so be aware wait times at the open restaurants may be long, as we discovered. Our best meal was at Union Lobster…great food & service and the best blueberry pie around. We had a great trip and are grateful to hosts for sharing a nice property.

Ellsworth Charmer

This Ellsworth home was perfect for our family of five to travel to Acadia National Park several days during our stay. We enjoyed eating in Ellsworth at Union River Lobster Pot with it's park-like setting along the Union River. The Ellsworth home, itself, provides everything you need to cook at the house. We would recommend staying here to family and friends.

Large Family Stay

My family had a wonderful time at Mitch and Jenn's house! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, lovely to walk around in. The kitchen had most everything we needed and the house was a comfortable size for our family of 9. The yard was well cared for and the deck was nice, though there were only two deck chairs. The kitchen was also a bit limited in seating for us (6 seats). Overall it was a wonderful home and we would definitely stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Mitchell Farren

Host profile image

Mitchell is a former merchant marine, now working as an engineer at a local steam plant, and commercial fishing on the coast of Maine. Jennifer is a former waitress, and is now working as a registered nurse at a local hospital. We enjoy hiking, fishing, and camping all over Maine with our daughter Khloe.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this property because it is located in a quiet rural neighborhood, but downtown Ellsworth is within walking distance where you can find delicious restaurants, local craft breweries, and shops. Acadia National Park is only around a ten mile drive from the property.

What makes this property unique

The sliding glass doors that leads you to the quiet porch on the back deck with a fenced in area is an amazing way to unwind at the end of the day.
