This is the quintessential Maine cottage on a lake. The view of Heart Lake was beautiful and the cottage is located close to cute coastal towns and Acadia National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I can't say enough good things about this place! It's beautiful inside and out!Maine weather wasn't our friend the first two days, but having a cozy place to come back to every day was fantastic!Everything you need is there, it's super clean, the bed is sooooo comfortable we slept like babies every night!If I find myself in Maine again this will be the place I stay. I would love to get out on the lake. We are not crowd people, so having a quiet place not too far away from the places we wanted to see worked well for us.We highly recommend this as a quiet convenient, beautiful place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay as a family. We loved the lake and spent a lot of time swimming and canoeing and enjoying the views. Our only drawback was that we were right on a very busy and loud highway so we constantly heard the loud traffic of cars and trucks driving by. Otherwise we were really relaxed and enjoyed our stay very much!

House was as described in listing. Very neat, clean and well stocked with essentials. Couldn’t be more pleased with the house and location. Yes, it is on the highway but we had no problems talking and sleeping. The traffic noise was even less at night. Highly recommend!

Great Stay!

We wanted a home centrally located to the areas we would be visiting and this location was perfect. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the stay. We wish we could have enjoyed the beautiful yard and pond more, but we had a very busy schedule of activities and sights and were limited on time.

Lovely cottage, gorgeous setting

My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Host is easy to communicate with and clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. Property is warm, clean and inviting. Setting is so pretty and peaceful. It is a bit close to the road, so you will hear cars/trucks, but that was not a major issue to us. Lots to do on/near the property, and plenty more if you venture out! Would happily stay again!

great stay in a cozy cottage on the pond

This was our home base for a few days as we explored New England. the house was great and the pond made for a nice evening swim. The light switch locations are a bit funny but we found that to be charming. Thanks for letting us stay in your place!

This house was a dream, the location was perfect, the house was very clean, it had everything we needed! The yard is where we spent all our time when we were there! Rupert was great l, he was so understanding when we asked to extend our trip an extra day do to a family member getting sick on day 1 and our 1st day was tied up with that. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

House was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the pond and firepit. Host was very responsive when I couldn't get the code correct on the digital lock and gave me an alternative code. A little noisy at times, since it is right off Route 1 traffic. Otherwise, convenient to Ellsworth for restaurants and groceries (15 minutes). I would stay there again.
