We had a wonderful stay at the Leonard Lake House. It is really beautiful, comfortable and clean. The view of the lake is superb and we loved hearing the loons. The house is in a great location to visit any part of Mt Desert island. The hosts are very kind and considerate. We hope to come back another time.

This is a beautiful home, clean, and peaceful location. Home is right on the lake and even though we didn't get a chance to use the kayaks it was nice to look out at the lake and sit on the dock. Easy to get to and very close to restaurants and other shopping. Acadia National Park about 35 minute drive and well worth the drive. Host leaves recommendations for local spots and other travel brochures. Host sent instructions on a timely manner and responded quickly to any questions that we had. Highly recommend this home and would definitely return for a another stay. Thank you again for the use of your lovely home.

Gateway to Acadia

Quiet clean comfortable home in Ellsworth, a quaint town a short trip to Mount desert Island and Acadia national Park. The town is worth the trip and the lake is quiet and peaceful. If Acadia is your goal this is easy access to the island. The property is as described clean and easy to access. The host responsive and accommodating. Would happily stay again if on another trip to Acadia

Best Hosts Ever

I don't write a review like this lightly, but the hosts of this property are a 5/5! Instead of running a business and just taking your money, they hosted like my Southern mother invited someone over. The view was beautiful and check-in was simple. The beds, sofa and seating were comfortable (a rare find these day). The kitchen was beautiful and well-equipped so you could explore the area without spending a ton on needed items that wouldn't fit in our suitcase. They had Rubbermaid containers, water bottles, ice packs and lunch coolers available for our hikes in Acadia. This was so appreciated! They even said "no honey, you don't have to take out the trash when you leave. We have people for that." (maybe not exactly that wording, but that's how I interpreted it). I would highly recommend this property and will stay here again next time we're in Maine.

Perfect place for a quiet time!

My family and I wanted to experience Acadia National Park but without all the people closer to Bar Harbor. This home was a perfect choice. They had a welcome book that gave so many GREAT suggestions which ended up being fabulous additions to our already set plans. The home had everything you may need on a short trip. We cooked at home a few times and didn’t struggle due to not having the right cookware. The bathrooms were stocked (maybe an extra towel or two would be nice to have. We just washed our towels) and the rooms were cozy and cool enough to sleep comfortably. Having the lake right by the house was a bonus as well. You can never go wrong by living next to the water. Fishing and kayaking was enjoyed the first night. The people that we met within Ellsworth were all super kind and helpful and always steered us in the right directions. The home, the area, and the host’s welcome book is spot on!

As pictured except a new path to the dock. Unfortunately the new railing is too narrow to easily carry the kayaks to the water. Otherwise everything was good. The beds were comfortable and the lake was great. Just a couple minutes from everything in ellsworth. Very little traffic down tge street. Would go again

Great Stay Near Acadia National Park

The property was as advertised. The lake view from the large windows was awesome. It was far enough from town that you could see the stars at night. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was large, and the living area was nice. It was 30 minutes to Acadia and away from the end-of-season crowds. Martha's Diner was a FIND for breakfast.

Great location, property & views

A wonderful place to stay. Newly renovated and well done, with great location near plenty of outdoor activities and convenient drive to Acadia National Park. And the view from the house is spectacular - lakeside with outdoor seating, firepit, dock and more. Quiet, peaceful with easy access to both town and nature. Highly recommend.

The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is in a beautiful setting, at least when looking at the lake. The drive to Acadia was longer than I expected, but worth it since the house is so lovely! I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Amazing home on the lake

We loved our stay at this charming lake house! It was peaceful and quiet with beautiful views of the lake. The owners really have thought of everything to make sure their guests have an enjoyable experience and communication with them was excellent. The house was very clean and well stocked. Great location with easy access to town, Acadia, and Bar Harbor. We have stayed at numerous properties over the past several years and this was one of the best! Will definitely return!
