Great Retreat

We loved staying at Greenview, it was a lovely cabin on a beautiful lake tucked into a beautiful forest. Great carriage like roads that allowed us to walk through the woods with stunning views of the lake. The cabin was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The hosts were friendly and easily reachable to answer any questions. It was close enough for us to drive to the amazing National Park, Acadia, each day for some fun hiking and walking. After a day outside enjoying Acadia, we returned to a quiet evening at Greenview.

A Little Slice Of Lake Life....

Our family of four (fur babies included) loved our stay. Hearing the loons everyday was amazing! And being literally steps from the beach was beyond convenient with little ones. The house was super clean and comfortable, and we never needed A/C with the windows open. The location was amazing as we were minutes to downtown Ellsworth, and less than an hour to Acadia National Park. Would very much come back.

Paradise

There is nothing to say about this property other than book it! We had our 2 dogs with us and being the last property on a dead end dirt road was ideal for privacy and safety. The lake was amazing! The beach is a mix of sand and small pebbles and water shoes kept my feet comfy. I spent hours sitting in an Adirondack chair reading or floating in the cove soaking up the sun. The water was the perfect temperature! My favorite thing was screen porch at night. What a beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy the evening air with no bugs! We already have plans to go back next summer.

our July stay

We had a great vacation at Greenview. The location was great, the lake was beautiful and clean, perfect to swim in. We loved the fire pit, but definitely bring lots of bug spray! Cabin was cozy, we enjoyed the screened porch and table for us all to gather. The mattresses were comfortable. There definitely was a lot of moisture in the cabin, causing some discomfort but there is a dehumidifier in the hall that helps. Overall we had a great stay, the views were stunning, it was a great way to enjoy Maine.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay to unwind and relax. Beautiful lake views. Seating around the fire pit and down at the lake added to the comfort. Access to kayaks to explore the lake… nice touch. Loved listening to the loons! Sunsets amazing!! Easy access to bar harbor!! Would definitely return!!!

Solid Stay!

The place was very clean and as advertised. Gorgeous views of the lake, firepit, boats and kayaks set up for enjoyment. We went during off-season so didn't utilize all the great outdoors amenities. Thought it was a bit odd to not have any linens whatsoever in this day and age with a laundromat a 10 minute drive away... Keep that in mind before you book.

Lovely lake cottage

My husband and I loved our stay at Greenview. We spent a week and enjoyed every minute. The cottage is adorable and the owners have made it even more comfortable with homey decorating touches. The flooring is new and the bathroom looks newly redone also. The Greenview beach and the lake are just over the top beautiful! It is private and serene. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are quite comfortable. The fire pit is well made and we had a fire every night. The screened porch is large and just so very comfortably furnished with a full view of the lake. We did not have a single complaint. It is a gem. The lake is beautiful, the home is comfy, cozy, and the owners were just very nice people that made sure we enjoyed our stay. We plan on returning same time next year to enjoy the home, lake, kayaking, and the beautiful area around Ellsworth!

Perfect Lake Home

We loved the location, the privacy, the beach and especially the communication with the owners. A neighbor's dogs wandered over and Alison was right on it. I contacted her for restaurant locations, hiking trails and even where to see the best view of the Blue Moon. She responded immediately. Excellent.

Tranquil Getaway

The beach and lake were beautiful, the house was very clean and well appointed, and my family had a great time. One highlight was the large screened in porch for hanging out, eating meals, drinking coffee, and listening to the loons. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect summer getaway

This property is an absolute dream! The private water access and kayaks made for a great morning outings on the peaceful lake. Many hours were spent on the porch drinking coffee, reading, and taking in the incredible sunsets nightly. The lake is clean and clear and a great way too cool off in the heat of the afternoon before an evening fire. Truly amazing secluded location, with quick access to necessities as well as Acadia & Bar Harbor.

Beautiful view!!

The view of the lake from both the cabin and the beach was the best part of our recent trip. The sunsets were spectacular and it was so quiet and peaceful. We were able to see loons on the lake (once just beyond the little cove at the beach) and hear their calls at night. Our teen sons enjoyed kayaking with the provided kayaks. The cabin is well-maintained and we found it to be very clean. The location was great for whichever part of Acadia NP we chose to explore that day and it was easy to grab takeout in Ellsworth on our way back to the cabin. Allison was a great host. She proactively provided lots of great info about the cabin and surrounding area as well as answering my questions promptly.

Charming & cozy

We came with our dog over Memorial Day weekend and had a great stay. We wanted to relax away from the noise of the city but also be close enough to Bar Harbor. The cabin has everything you need. I could have stayed on the porch all the day! The sunsets were great too. Thank you for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Allison and Joseph

Host profile image
Allison and Joseph live with our two springer spaniels, Ben and Herbie. We married in 2004 in Rhode Island. We both still work full time and love to travel, especially with our pups to Maine.

Why they chose this property

We love the town of Ellsworth for its beauty, and quiet charm. It remains a tourism centered area without the busy traffic, and crowds of Bar Harbor. We started off renting seasonally here and finally found the property we were looking for. As soon as we saw the waterfront view and our first sunset we knew Green view was for us. We still have trouble figuring out why anyone would want to rent anywhere but Green Lake.

What makes this property unique

Green View has the most perfect 100 foot cresent shaped sandy beach. The waterfront is a sandy, clear, with gradual entry. The water is so clear it feels as if you are looking at an aquarium at the fish and wildlife below you. We feel we have one of the best lots on the lake!
