Short Acadia Get Away

My husband and I took our kids to Acadia to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We had a great trip overall, here are our pros and cons. Pros: Our host was very responsive to any messages I sent him. He kindly made sure the apartment was open for us when we arrived late on our first night. He also recommended Ana amazing pizza place for dinner (Pat’s Pizza- definitely give it a try). The unit is very convenient to Acadia National Park, which is what we were looking for. Cons There were large black flies flying around the kitchen and living room. The dishes were dirty and needed to be washed before the first use. The bathroom was old. The master bed was very hard and uncomfortable. We didn’t spend much time in the apartment, and it was worth it for the location, but I would look for a different place in the future.

Freundliche, familiäre, gemütliche Ferienwohnung am Südrand von Ellsworth, trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (Walmart, Hannaford) in wenigen Minuten mit Auto erreichbar. Bis zum Acadia NP etwa 15 Minuten. Wohnung ist mit allem (außer Spülmaschine) ausgestattet, Waschmöglichkeit im Erdgeschoß (Garage). Trotz herbstlicher Kühle am Abend haben wir den Gasgrill gerne und viel genutzt. James ist ein überaus freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.

James is an excellent host. We hope to visit again.

James is an excellent host. My husband and I recommend this stay. Very clean. Full size kitchen is like home++. The upstairs 2-bedroom apartment is comfortable and quiet. Thick towels. Beds and pillows excellent. Water pressure in shower and washer/dryer downstairs in the garage -- both great. James will offer quarters for the washer/dryer if you forget to bring. The location is not far from Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. A terrific home base from which to explore Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. Also not far from the Schoodic area, the Charlotte Rhoades Butterfly Garden, Somesville, Blue Hill (check out the Blue Hill Co-op), Deer Island, Bass Harbor, Stoneville, and more. We bought fresh fish in season from the local grocery store on James' specific recommendation and saved. Taking advantage of the gas grill provided. Ellsworth has much to offer, too -- Union River Lobster Pot restaurant (where we saw a Bald Eagle), Lamoine Beach, Woodlawn historic site. Bottomline is, why stay in an overpriced hotel when you can have the convenience of home?

Fabulous stay in Ellsworth, ME

There are not enough stars to be able to give this VRBO a proper rating - it was one of, if not the best, vacation rental experience we've ever had! 1. James is a spectacular host! Every communication received a quick response, and any concern or question was addressed right away. He was so warm and friendly. He greeted us upon our arrival, helped us bring our bags in, and showed us around. He checked on us during our stay to make sure all was good. He even gave us a homemade wild blueberry pie, farm fresh eggs, and fresh wild blueberries! We really enjoyed chatting with and getting to know him a bit during our stay. By the time we left, we felt like family! 2. The apartment is spotlessly clean and is very nicely decorated - it really gave us the feeling of being on vacation in Maine. The bedrooms were a good size, and the beds and pillows were super comfortable. It was perfect for my husband and myself as well as our two teens. The bathroom was similarly well equipped, with plenty of towels and toiletries. 3. The eat-in kitchen is fantastic too! Besides the pie and eggs, James had stocked the fridge, freezer, and cabinets with other staples and condiments. There is an entire complement of spices, pots, pans, wraps, oils, etc. - we really felt right at home, and it made our stay even more enjoyable and comfortable. 4. The location is convenient for trips to Acadia and elsewhere in the area, and there are supermarkets and good restaurants nearby. Our highest recommendation!

The best place to stay!

This was the best place we could have picked for our stay. Not only are you close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but you are far enough you don’t have to deal with the chaos during peak season. James is the best host there is. He had great recommendations and was very attentive. We really appreciated the extra goodies! The apartment has everything you will need, parking, it’s clean, and the property is very well maintained. We will definitely return the next time we head to Maine!

Cozy place with great location and host

Just stayed four nights at this property and we were all very satisfied. The location is great. Close to stores and restaurants in Ellsworth (try Zeppa’s pizza - so good), and easy to get Acadia and surrounding area. The rental is a well appointed apartment above a garage. Must be able to do stairs. The property is basic upon arrival and first impression but well maintained. Inside of apartment was very nice with a large kitchen that was well stocked (we really appreciated that there were spices, condiments, sugar, coffee, etc.). There was even a case of bottled water waiting for us in the fridge. Living room was cozy. Bedrooms were adequate with very comfortable beds. Towels and linens were nice quality. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning sunshine, drinking our coffee. We used the gas grill one evening to cook dinner and it was great. We were able to do a load of laundry while they’re which was super helpful. One of the best parts was the friendliness and helpfulness of James the host. He was there when we arrived to ensure we got in OK and had everything we needed. He was very accessible and helpful throughout our stay offering recommendations of places to go and helpful in solving any minor issue we had such as the grill gas tank running low or needing quarters for the laundry. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Great Place Close to Acadia

What a wonderful find. 15 minutes to Acadia; 25 minutes to Bar Harbor. This 2 BR unit had everything we needed. James is a wonderful host. Easy to communicate with, helpful ( He even carried my heavy suitcase up the stairs to the unit). Beds were very comfortable.Area was quiet. We enjoyed looking a birds & wild turkeys out our window. Be aware the unit is up a flight of stairs which is clearly stated & shown in the pictures. I would stay here again next time I come to Maine.

Home away from home with easy access to Acadia/Bar Harbor

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment style unit. All the rooms were a nice and comfortable size and it was well stocked with almost everything one would need. We ended up having to deal with a bit of bad weather from Tropical Depression Philippe, but James made sure we had extra water (thankfully, we didn’t need it) and offered for us to park our car in the garage. What a great host! Also, the location is a short drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia and we enjoyed a few local restaurants like Finn’s Irish Pub, Airline Brewing Company and Pat’s Pizza. Would definitely stay in this great unit again. Thank you James for providing such a nice place to stay for our first visit to Maine!
