Beautiful spot to rest and relax!Pros: The secluded location was quiet and peaceful. There were two bedrooms and two couches in the living room area. There's a firepit for use and canoes/kayaks available. Our dogs really loved swimming in the lake and having their own private beach! The lake is great for paddle boarding too (I brought my own). The screened in porch was nice to eat a meal or play games in and not get accosted by the mosquitos.Cons: Be aware that you have to bring your own towels, sheets, etc. That was one thing I didn't see super clearly in the listing, but the host did send a message the day before which included that warning. There were also a lot of mosquitos so definitely bring some bug spray. The access road was a bit difficult to find. I would recommend arriving during the day.

Wonderful Lakeside Cabin

We had such an amazing time staying at Greenview! The cozy house was a perfect size for our family and kitchen well equipped for our needs. We enjoyed the lake every day and made good use of the kayaks and canoes. Easy drive to Ellsworth stores and Acadia for day hikes. So quiet and peaceful right on a beautiful lake! The hosts were very responsive to all of our questions. Highly recommend staying here.

Idyllic

This was our second stay at Greeview. The location could not be more ideal! The dead end dirt road means privacy in abundance and with only steps to the lake, you’ll never want to leave! There are plenty of restaurants in Ellsworth if you feel like venturing out and Bar Harbor is a short scenic drive away. This is a highly recommended spot!!

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!

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!
