House holiday rentals in Ellsworth

Me and my friends loved this BNB!! The hot tub was amazing and the pool was an awesome addition. Instructions were clear and even called to walk me through everything. Plenty of places to sleep and loads of places to go!

The house was perfect for us. Very clean and organized. Great host always responded in a timely manner. Was only about a 30 to 40 minute drive to Acadia National Park & Bar harbor, depending on traffic it could take longer. If we ever make it back to Maine I would definitely stay at the Higgins Retreat again. Thanks again Richard & Tina.

We felt like at home. The house is located in a private property with swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s very clean and very peaceful. Just a clarification about the description : there’s no bathroom in the basement. Then if you come with elderly people or very young kids, it could be annoying. If you like cooking, the kitchen is very well equipped. We´ll keep a very good memory of our stay in Ducktrap Retreat during the colorful foliage season.

Thank you Christina! Great weekend stay for UMaine graduation. Great location from campus and stores for the things we forgot (haha).

My return visit to the Boathouse was even lovelier than I hoped it would be. The location can't be matched by anything else I've seen. I enjoyed a September visit with my dog and was lucky to have pristine weather. I lived a very simple and healthy outdoors life and came home the better for it. The Boathouse is true to its description: it is simple and rustic and uncomplicated but well-equipped, and is perfect for one-and-dog, or for two people. A little coming-and-going from the neighboring houses meant that I didn't feel isolated. Margaret is truly an exceptional and friendly host who communicates promptly and clearly. I almost hesitate to share "my" Boathouse location with too many of my back-home friends because it feels so intimate and special. I already want to be back there. I offer my deep thanks to Margaret and to the place that I could - briefly - call home.

If you’re looking to stay in Bar Harbor, this is the place! We felt very at home during our 1 week stay and walking to and from downtown Bar Harbor was easy and accessible. The house is also a 8 minute walk to the nearest grocery store so cooking your own home made meal was simple. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and would stay here again!

I recently stayed with my family at this incredible Airbnb that exceeded all my expectations. This property offered a hot tub, a pool table, and a level of privacy and tranquility that made for a truly relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was being able to watch the northern lights from the hot tub – it was absolutely magical. We spent a week in Acadia, and the location was perfect, just 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor or the nearest town. The hosts were very responsive, and the place was fantastic for families, being both kid and pet friendly. It was a week filled with unforgettable moments, and I can't recommend this place enough!

We had a great stay at this house! Plenty of beds for everyone. Convenient to get to Acadia and bar harbor with a short drive!

Great area, great home. Lots of space. Cute little town close to Acadia.

Our stay at Stairway to Heaven was the perfect long weekend getaway we were looking for. It was very clean, comfortable and had the essentials we needed. The lakehouse is in a beautiful and quiet area at the end of the lake. The water is so clear and shallow. It was nice to be able to see my son fishing off the dock from the house. Jud, the owner was very responsive to the few questions I had. We had fun fishing off the dock and kayaking in the cove. The back deck was perfect for playing games and conversating while enjoying the view of the lake and the sounds of the bullfrogs. There were two bald eagles that put on a show for us as well.

The place is beautiful, relaxing and peaceful. We were able to bring our Gracey Girl who had an amazing time with all of the smells in the secluded location. We were able to explore areas in town and Bar Harbor. Yes, it was a 45 minute ride to Bar Harbor but it didn't feel like it and to be able to come back to the beautiful home in the peace and quite was amazing. I was paranoid about the electricity, being off the grid, but there were no issues even though we had a couple of cloudy days. The wifi worked well too, both streaming TV and for the little bit of work I did while there.

Erica was SO accommodating and helpful. She responded extremely quick anytime we messaged and gave us tips and recommendations. Her home is adorable and we really enjoyed being there. It had everything we needed! Only thing to note is that while her place is 20 minutes from Acadia’s entrance it is a big park so anytime we were going to a hike it did take more like 40 minutes to get to it, just worth a mention! Highly recommend her place!

This was a beautiful home with a caretaker who was very available and kind. It was lovely to look at the outside pond. The home was pristine and comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

We loved our three nights at Seabank. The house was comfortable and immaculate, the kitchen well equipped, and the location—overlooking tidal Goose Bay with views toward Mount Desert Island—could not have been more tranquil (plus an easy 20-minute drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor). Robard was a terrific host, quick to answer our questions, and even lending a hand to ensure that we were able to check in early. We lucked into gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outdoors, reading on the deck, kayaking in the bay at high tide, and relaxing around the fire pit.

Very clean, very functional house with plenty of space for a family of 4, with the extra sofa bed (not that comfortable) for an additional 2 people. Very well equipped. Nice to be able to walk a few blocks to 'downtown Ellsworth', and we did that and ate at a good Mexican place (Margarita something), and a not that great 'british' pub (Airway or something .. right next to Mexican place). Prices I noticed that these restaurants seemed 20 - 50% more than in the midwest, even at a Mexican restaurant that we ate at at Bangor. It took us about 30 min to go to places in Acadia (such as Jordon Pool) and to Bar Harbor. Going to the Bangor airport about 40min. This house is in a typical older-looking neighborhood, and has a decrepit looking barn/garage on the property (though of course not for guests). But the inside of the house is completely different and very modern, functional, etc .. very well maintained and constructed. We had no issues at all.

This is a lovely place to stay: warm, comfortable, clean. Highly recommend staying here.

I had the pleasure of staying in Anthony's place for a week in June and everything was perfect. The post and beam structure is beautiful, lofty, and well lit. The pictures really don't do it justice. All the utilities worked well and it had every amenity, including a whirlpool tub, dish washer, and laundry. The dog park was a bonus for our pup! We plan on coming again next year and recommend it anyone looking for a private comfortable space for two.

Great place for traveling to Arcadia! Super close to the park and surrounded by fresh markets!

The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. All of the beds were very comfortable. This Airbnb had the most well stocked kitchen and bathrooms I’ve ever been in. Plenty of seasonings for cooking and the bathrooms had first aid kit, menstrual products, soap and shampoo. We didn’t need to purchase anything. There was even dishwasher pods and laundry detergent. Outdoors was wonderful, it was so peaceful and quiet.

The photos on the website didn’t do it justice! It was a beautiful location and a great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Acadia and Bar Harbor. This rental is almost good enough to be your actual destination. The house has everything you could possibly imagine and it was just pristine. They also provided all the paper products four adults needed for 9 nights. Thanks for a lovely stay!

What a beautiful hidden gem this lake house is! Nestled into the Maine forest on the edge of the peaceful lake, it was a perfect spot for a relaxed reunion for two families. As we have small children, I appreciated that the water isn't too close to the house but still accessible via stairs. Travis and Laura were excellent hosts and had the house stocked with everything we could need for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay and felt right at home. The house worked great for 9 of us and we could have had a few more. We loved the large dining table on the screened porch. The open floor plan meant that we could hang out together while some folks were cooking, others were reading on the couch and others were working on the puzzle at the kitchen table. Very comfortable!

We had a great stay, everything was as shown/described on the listing! Michael did a great job of communicating with us throughout our stay. Very accommodating for our 2 dogs as well, our girls loved the fenced in backyard!

Such a great stay! We had lots of fun and Chelsea was great! We were early and she was accommodating with an early check in. The place was beautiful. Would recommend again and again!
