We enjoyed a wonderful week of relaxing on the deck overlooking the bay and Cadillac Mountain, kayakingwith porpoises and seals nearby, and taking in the surrounding areas of Mt. Desert Island, Blue Hill, and downtown Ellsworth. The cottage is modern, clean and comfortable affording quiet privacy. Emily is a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommend this property.

The property has gorgeous ocean and mountain views. The cottage was very clean with modern updates. Perfect place to stay when visiting Acadia and/or Bailey’s Harbor. It offered a quiet retreat from those busier places while still being a quick drive away.

Our family of four just LOVED this property. It was our first trip to Maine and we are hooked! This cottage is warm and inviting and simply breathtaking. We had so much fun exploring the beach during low tide and searching for sea shells. We were sad to leave, but cannot wait to come back!

Seaside Cottage
The cottage was perfect for a couple. It's very peaceful and quiet, loved being able to eat breakfast next to the ocean each morning and the drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor is so short. You are good distance away from anything you need and still have the tranquility of nature.

September getaway
We loved our stay at Emily and Bob’s place. It is a magical setting and the house is bright, well designed and immaculate. As an upper middle aged couple we appreciate the first floor bedroom with adjacent bath. Our son loved the loft. We also bought our pup!
One unique experience was discovering a 24 hour cheesecake store in Ellsworth!
We hope to make it back soon!

Great Cottage
My family stayed at the Cottage for a few nights to explore Acadia/Bar Harbor. We are so glad we stayed outside of the downtown area, this quiet getaway is the perfect escape from the busy nearby attractions. It is well equipped and Emily was a wonderful host. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Wonderful getaway
If you’re looking for a place to disconnect and unwind, this is the perfect fit for you. First off, the home is absolutely spotless, with comfy beds and ample space. The location is also ideal, the views are incredible. Our little girl had a great time playing on the beach and looking for sea shells. The home is the perfect home base to explore Acadia, Bar Harbor and other nearby attractions. We also really loved Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf. Emily, the hostess, is very knowledgeable and was so helpful during the planning process.

Peaceful retreat close to Acadia
We had a fantastic stay at this house. The house is beautiful and cozy. Very quiet and peaceful location right on the water. Perfect location approximately 20-30min drive to all of the hiking trails of Acadia. Great to retreat back to our quiet VRBO to escape the crowds. Emily was a fantastic host. Very accommodating and accessible. Our baby and dog loved this spot. We would definitely stay here again!
