Super clean home, perfect location to our day trips (to Acadia and Bar Harbor), great places to eat right nearby in Ellsworth. The property has everything needed for a relaxing stay. Our 21 year old son loved the soccer net and basketball hoop for a little downtime activity. Loved that it was pet friendly, was fun having our dog with us on vacation. Would definitely rent this home again, and recommend it to any friends headed to the area.

It was close to all activities that we planned. It was very clean and comfortable. The only issue was no blinds in the master bath for windows so didn’t feel comfortable showering in that bath. Would recommend that they add this. Also would recommend blinds on slider glass doors. Otherwise the house was perfect! We didn’t utilize the back yard but it was very nice. Everything was also stocked well! Loved the thought of fresh eggs but we ate out while we were there. Would definitely stay here again!

The home was very clean and had all the supplies we needed to make our stay comfortable. It is in a quiet area and has things a family with young children would need.
