We had a wonderful stay at the Leonard Lake House. It is really beautiful, comfortable and clean. The view of the lake is superb and we loved hearing the loons. The house is in a great location to visit any part of Mt Desert island. The hosts are very kind and considerate. We hope to come back another time.

Gateway to Acadia

Quiet clean comfortable home in Ellsworth, a quaint town a short trip to Mount desert Island and Acadia national Park. The town is worth the trip and the lake is quiet and peaceful. If Acadia is your goal this is easy access to the island. The property is as described clean and easy to access. The host responsive and accommodating. Would happily stay again if on another trip to Acadia

This is a beautiful home, clean, and peaceful location. Home is right on the lake and even though we didn't get a chance to use the kayaks it was nice to look out at the lake and sit on the dock. Easy to get to and very close to restaurants and other shopping. Acadia National Park about 35 minute drive and well worth the drive. Host leaves recommendations for local spots and other travel brochures. Host sent instructions on a timely manner and responded quickly to any questions that we had. Highly recommend this home and would definitely return for a another stay. Thank you again for the use of your lovely home.

As pictured except a new path to the dock. Unfortunately the new railing is too narrow to easily carry the kayaks to the water. Otherwise everything was good. The beds were comfortable and the lake was great. Just a couple minutes from everything in ellsworth. Very little traffic down tge street. Would go again

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.

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.
