Cottage on the lake

Cozy cottage on Graham Lake. Sleeps up to 5 people. But keep in mind the cottage is very small and would be tight for 5 adults. It’s more suited for 2-3 adults, or a small family. Imagine coffee on the deck with a view of the lake. Bring your canoe and fishing pole, or browse the shops and restaurants in downtown Ellsworth. If you like the outdoors, there’s plenty to do. The area is filled with hiking trails and beautiful views. Just 45 minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Up Back Cottage

BriannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This cabin was such a peaceful, beautiful escape from the world. It truly looks better than the pictures- very spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. It's equipped with everything you could need. The skylight and screened porch was magical in the rain. Eric and Diane were excellent hosts- appreciated the instructions regarding the woodstove and the recommendation for a rainy day excursion to the Schoodic peninsula :) This is the perfect place for anyone interested in exploring Acadia or Bar Harbor. Can't wait to return!!

Duck Cove Apartment

AlexandraRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Nancy and her place were awesome! The furniture was comfortable and functional and the view from the living room is so nice! It was so peaceful! We were here in late April and had 2 days of great weather and 2 days of rainy ish. Nancy had great recommendations for hikes and went out of her way to search for a kayak rental company for us (none were open as it was too early in the year but the fact that she researched it for us was so nice!). On the rainiest day we stayed in and just enjoyed the view and peace. We would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Lakeside Landing

NupurRating, 5 stars7 months ago

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

Acadia get away.! With pool and hot tub

JanelleRating, 5 stars7 months ago

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!
