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.

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.

Bar harbor trip

We took a Trip to bar harbor/ Acadia. Drive was about a half hour to bar harbor from the house. House was super clean and beds were comfortable. Very quiet location and loved the little dock to fish on. We were out and about most of the time, wish we had more time to enjoy the house !

Awesome Vacation

We absolutely loved this property - quiet location on a lake, but close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and surrounding attractions. House had everything we needed with nice-sized bedrooms and full kitchen. Made good use of the firepit, grill, picnic table, and kayaks too! Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful view, lovely home

My husband and I spent a relaxing weekend by the lake here and felt like it was such a quiet retreat. Everything was decorated and the views were spot on -- plus the red Adirondack chairs arrayed by the firepit were super inviting. We'd definitely stay here again.

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!

Quiet house on the lake. It was so peaceful with amazing views of the lake. The house was very clean and well stocked. The center of town is short drive away with shops and great places to eat.

Quiet with beautiful views

This house was a cozy and quiet home base for our trip to Acadia. We had everything we needed for our family of four with easy access to stores and restaurants. The trip into the park was quick and easy. The private dock, kayaks and fire pit made this feel like a park experience with all the creature comforts you could want.

About the host

Hosted by Suzie Smith

Host profile image
I am a high school teacher in the KC area and my wife is a Pharmacist working in an outpatient hospital pharmacy. We have traveled the coast of Maine for years and love our second home - Ellsworth, ME. Though we don't live in the area full time, we have been apart of the Downeast community for 20+ years. We have owned several properties here and love to share all the wonders of Maine with our friends and family. It truly is a special place. We love Ellsworth, and think our little town is a fantastic place to live, work, and visit. We are pretty meticulous about the upkeep of our homes, and we work very hard to ensure our guests feel comfortable while staying here. We believe our guest they will find our lakeside homes to be a peaceful place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring all the area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Leonard Lake is a hidden gem, right in the heart of Ellsworth. This lake is so quiet and peaceful, you rarely see anyone on the water. As one of the only waterfront homes on the lake, we feel like its our own private place to fish, kayak or swim.

What makes this property unique

This cozy home was originally built in 1964. We bought the home from the original owners and did a complete gut and remodel down to the studs. Every inch of the home is new, and we have put in many personal touches that define Maine's quality of life and immense beauty. Additionally, the home is so close to the water, you feel like you can almost touch it from the any of the windows. The firepit and patio area are perfect for gathering with family and enjoying the beautiful sunsets over the water.
