We Loved It!

We booked this one as our base for exploring the area, including Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Excellent choice! The house was compact but not cramped, and it was immaculate, both as to appointments and cleanliness. The bonus was staying in Ellsworth. The property is located a couple of blocks off charming Main Street and 100 and 300 yards from some VERY cool breweries. AND, the property-manager coordinator, Amanda, was terrific -- she was on it!. All in all, this was one of the best VRBO experiences we have had.
