Within minutes of the Ellsworth city center, your prime locale offers quick access to the best attractions in the Bar Harbor and Acadia area.

LIVING AREA

A plush futon and two armchairs provide comfy seating in the living area, while a freestanding gas stove adds to the cozy ambience. Curl up with a good book or stream favorite shows on the smart TV.

Enjoy beautiful woodland views from the screen porch, which provides another futon and a table.

Whip up home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, which features a full suite of appliances. A beautiful bay window over the sink provides a sunny spot to prepare tasty creations.

When you’re ready to eat, gather at the dining table for six.

BED & BATH

This two-story home sleeps four adults and two kids between two bedrooms and the futon in the living room.

Sleep soundly in the well-appointed primary suite, which features a queen bed and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The lofted second bedroom offers a queen bed and an en-suite half bath. Thoughtful touches include a writing desk, a chaise lounge, and privacy curtains to close off the partially open space to the living area.

The guest bathroom is configured with a walk-in shower.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

Enjoy direct access to the lake with your own private swimming dock (with a kid-friendly swim ladder) and canoe. Spend fun-filled days on the water, then return home to relax outside.

Stretch out in the hammock and unwind to the soothing sounds of the wind chimes. Barbecue burgers on the gas grill, dine alfresco, and roast marshmallows around the wood-burning firepit.

EXTRA PERKS & MORE DETAILS

Extra perks include complimentary Wi-Fi, a stackable washer/dryer, and provided firewood for the outdoor firepit. One canoe, three paddles, and four life jackets will be available during your stay.

Great location, beautiful home.
We had a spectacular stay at the cabin. Location was excellent with the lake across the road and Ellsworth less than a mile away for all your needs and wants. The house was clean, spacious and well stocked. We couldn’t get the stove on but thankfully we only had one chilly night so not a big deal. It’s an ideal launching point for anything in or around MDI and Bar Harbor.

Family Vacation
My husband, son and I stayed here on our family vacation to Bar Harbor. Cute and secluded cottage in the woods with views of Leonard Lake. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but close enough to visit the Harbor and Acadia. We really enjoyed it and will recommend it to our friends! Super cute!!

Peaceful cabin atmosphere
This property is cozy and peaceful. The pictures do not do justice to how nice the interior is. The outside is fairly private and peaceful. It should be noted that although you can see the lake from this property, one must walk down the driveway and across a one-lane road to reach the lake and dock. The walk back to the house is a decent incline all the way back to the home. Overall we very much enjoyed the atmosphere and home.

Perfect place for us!
This was the perfect house for our family of three. We walked in to the house, and it was spotless, cozy and nicely decorated. My favorite part was the huge window in the living room. The lake was right across the street and down a hill. Ellsworth is a very cute little town with everything you will need. We spent most of our time in Bar Harbor and Acadia which was about 35 minute drive. Make sure to try the blueberry soda.

Quick trip to Bar Harbor
The house was great. Very private, which is what we like. They had everything there you could want, (except spices) for cooking. All utensils, pots, pans, everything! Beds were comfortable and plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels for the bath and kitchen! We would stay there again in the future.
