We had a very nice stay in one of Alan's cottages. He is a kind and thorough post and provided everything we needed for our stay.

The cabin was very clean and in a great location. Alan was helpful with navigating the area. I would stay again.

Beautiful Place ! Beautiful town nearby

We had a wonderful stay at Alan's cottage. He was welcoming upon our arrival and throughout our time there. He had great suggestions for where to grab a bite to eat and places to explore in the surrounding area (including a gem we would have never found without his suggestion, the beautiful town of Stonington on Deer Isle). Acadia was a quick and easy drive from the cabin. The cabin had plenty of amenities which made our stay very comfortable. Alan was a great host and you can tell he takes pride in this cottage and preserving the musical tradition and history on the farm. We would love to come back someday!

The farm Alan's place is on is spectacular- beautiful and with loads of history. I enjoyed my writing retreat- perfect spot for it!

I stayed in Allen's place with my mom. We had a great time in Surry. Allen is a great host. He introduced his farm to us and provided really helpful advice. Allen is a music therapist. Therefore he is a good listener and talker. My mom and I had two meals with Allen and his friend. I love everything here. I wish to come back again.

Alan was super nice and helpful - gave us lots of recommendations for nearby places to eat, how to get around etc.

Alan's place is the perfect base for exploring Acadia and the surrounding area. It's clean, cozy, and comfortable. Our only regret is not having enough time to learn more about Alan and the property. He gave us great recommendations for dinner and sight seeing. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience at Florence and Bruce's place. The family welcomed us very warmly. Bruce gave us a very interesting tour of the "green energy" house. The garden in the middle of the forest is beautiful. As for the camper, it's very roomy and comfy. I highly recommend that place.

Bruce and Florence accommodated us at the last minute and it was a very positive experience. The camper was super cool, beds were really comfy, very clean, etc. Their home and property are also really cool. Would definitely recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to do it again if I find myself traveling in that area again.

It was a wonderful stay there! Bruce gave me detailed information about how to get to their house. We thought it would be cold at night, but the camper was warm and comfortable. We tried the campfire and played with the kitty. Great!

Great location to Acadia National Park. Wished I was able to stay longer. Bruce was a great host and made sure I was taken care of.

Lovely family and easy drive to Acadia National Park - would definitely stay again!

Our host, Flo and Bruce made us feel like home. We arrived in the late night, the camper was ready for us. In our whole trip, camper was one of the things everyone liked. Camper was very cozy with nice scenery outside. Spent two nights, restrooms and kitchen were easy to access and was available when needed. The whole experience was totally worth spending the amount. I will try to go back again and would recommend this camper again for others who are looking for cozy sleep in the midst of green backyard.

Extremely special experience living in a camp the only bad thing is the weather it's a rainy day we can't play outside the camp. The fat cat is soooooo cute

Great experience! Beautiful setting, fun camper, and fantastic hosts! Highly recommend.

Nicole came to meet me when I arrived on Susan's behalf and gave me a good tour of the place. I liked that the cabin had a very light whitewash on the wood inside which gave it a clean airiness. I sat and read a book on Buddhism in the library area.

I had a wonderful time at Susan's cabin. It is exactly as the description says, a tiny room with a bed and a small chair. Susan was kind enough to let me book it for one night and she was very prompt with her responses which made the booking process a breeze. A few yards from the cabin is the meeting hall where the kitchen and bathrooms are located. You can get stuff and cook in the kitchen. The bathroom itself is a compost one and is very clean and well maintained. The cabin does not have any lights but Susan gave me a powerful torch/lantern. I was greeted by Susan the evening I arrived, and she gave me a quick tour of the cabin, the meeting hall and the lake in front of it. It is a beautiful place, very calm and peaceful and I would love to stay there again, hopefully for a longer duration.

I had a great and peaceful time at this lovely place. The main objective of my trip was to visit Acadia and the region. Although it's a long drive to ANP (40-50 min), coming back to the cabin after a long day hiking was the perfect recharge for me. If you're considering visiting the park, this is a great place to avoid the noise and busyness of Bar Harbor.

Staying at this cabin and Morgan Bay Zendo is an experience. I stayed there 2 nights. I spent most of the 2 days/nights at MBZ soaking in the calm, beautify and serene location and the learnings through mediation sessions. I was lucky enough to attend the full day retreat of yoga and meditation. This place is truly amazing and incites reflective thoughts. It was a great place to get away from my hectic life. It is also very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor which was great since I was able to visit before and after my stay. The bay close by was also very nice.

What a wonderful two nights in this peaceful cabin in Maine! Close enough to Acadia but yet totally secluded and private. Perfect for my solo trip. Thanks!

Morgan bay is a little oasis. It's so serene. A little hike in the moss garden listening to the bull frogs and fire flies the cabin is very cozy. Everything was really clean including the Eco bathroom. Heather was really kind and helpful.

The Morgan Bay Zendo is everything they promise it is going to be. It is very secluded, quiet and simplistic. The peacefulness of the location and the quiet you will experience is majestic and just what I needed. I suspect if you are considering this property as a place to stay you are already the type of person that does not mind limited access to electricity, traditional toilets, etc. I was warned to bring extra warm clothing or bedding because the cabin has no electricity and is stove heated but when I arrived they very generously left me several warm and comfy blankets. Because of this I was not cold during my stay and enjoyed the simplicity of the cabin. My host was not present during my stay but did leave several messages regarding the logistics of getting to the cabin and checked in on me. I had to arrive after dark, which they warn against in their information...and for good reason. The trail leading to the facility is not a short one when taken in the dark and carrying a bag or two. It is also not a straight forward walk but rather meanders through the forest. I would not suggest arriving after dark. My one minor suggestion to MBZ is that when you know a person is arriving late and you cannot be there to greet them, perhaps let them know about your side road entrance off of Osprey Road that is used for those with physical disabilities. This road leads right to the cabin area. I know that they prefer that we do leave our cars anywhere but the parking area at the trailhead but if a visitor is arriving at night, will not have a host to guide them in and has never been to the Zendo before, suggesting that they park on the road and move the car in morning would be both safer and easier for the guest. I, myself, was bringing my expensive camera equipment and groceries with me so I had to make two trips in the dark after a long and stressful day. I understand it is my responsibility to get there before dark but that was not possible. I also understand why my host could not be there and was fine with that. I was a bit frustrated when I finally got to my cabin and looked over the welcome information and discovered there was a road right next to my cabin that I could have used. If it had been daylight, I would not have minded in the least making the two trips but in complete darkness with my bags and a lantern it was a bit much. With that said, I still had an outstanding experience and loved the cabin, the grounds and the opportunity to check out and just be. The town of Surry is also quite sweet. There is a nice grocery store, Tradewinds, that sells a lot of local foods.

The cabin is a fantastic place to spend a few nights. It's comfortable, cozy, and free from all the distractions of modern life. The zendo grounds are beautiful and were a perfect place to relax and watch the stars or just listen to the sounds of nature after spending a day hiking in Acadia. Heather did a great job of letting me know where to go and how to get settled in.

What an excellent rental. Secluded, private and you feel good that you're treading lightly on the environment. The house is as advertised so read the description. The access road would be rough on a small car. :-) Alisha was a gracious and responsive host. Just a message away. The location was ideal if you want to be away from the traffic and noise but still just a short trip to Acadia for hiking and beach days. One tip: remember the mosquito repellent as this is in the woods after all. Great experience. I look forward to coming back again.

This cabin combines rustic charm with luxurious comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean. Although we were warned about limits to the electricity, we never had a problem with that. It's an easy 40 minute drive from the cabin into Acadia National Park. Of course you could stay closer to the park; there are motels lining the roads next to the park. But, in August at least, the park is crowded, whereas this cabin is a peaceful oasis in the woods. It was great to relax here after a busy day in the park. We would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. Clean, cozy, it was as advertised. We spent most of our time off at Acadia National Park, which was a manageable distance away, and we were always happy to return. Also, the stars at night here are absolutely beautiful, if you're willing to put up with the bugs swarming around you as you look up to the sky. A bit isolated, but it was nice to feel that we were falling asleep in the middle of the wilderness. We would definitely go back.

This was the perfect spot for us. If you are looking for a cabin where you can have peace and quiet, this is the perfect place. Excellent location halfway between Acadia and Deer Isle, there are a lot of options for recreation. At night, because this is located half a mile back into the woods, you get perfect piece and quiet. We had clear skies, and I can't remember the last time I could see the Milky Way. Alisha is a great host, and her homemade soap is a really nice touch. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing the cabin really needs is a lobster pot :)

I didn't know what to expect when Alisha mentioned the off-grid house with the finicky gas refrigerator and house powered by solar energy. What I faced was a charming farm house with all the modern convenience I needed. I could not use a hair drier or have an Internet access, but I was kind of glad that I didn't have to blow dry my hair or constantly be connected to my iPad while I was at this peaceful house. The house was very clean and had wonderfully soft and comfortable beddings. The house is conveniently located near Elsworth, Blue Hill, Dear Island, and Acadia National Park. We were able to reach all these places in less than half an hour. Alisha was very good at providing information about the house and promptly replied whenever I had questions. She respected my privacy but at the same time let me know she was at a phone call away. She and her family graciously invited us to come and see her new house just down the road. It was one of the best part of the trip to hear how she and her husband planned and built this house with all the natural resources. What an admirable family! I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Alisha's house when we visit the area next time.

Alisha's gorgeous cottage in the woods was my favorite Airbnb experience I have ever had. Alisha and her family (doggies included!) were such generous and welcoming hosts, and the house is so wonderful: full of sunlight, incredibly comfy beds and couch, a great kitchen to cook in, and beautiful bathroom (awesome water pressure!). It was absolutely heavenly, and the fact that it was dog-friendly just put it over the top in my love for it! (My puppy had an even better stay than I did - off-leash the whole time in this really safe quiet woodsy area!) I adored this place and can't wait to hopefully stay here again soon. Thank you Alisha!

Alisha texted and emailed us immediately and gave excellent directions. It was easy to locate and get in where everything was fresh and airy immaculately clean and inviting and just as pictured and described. Parking was easy and convenient. The beds were very comfortable and bedding perfect for the weather. We slept with windows open to enjoy the breezes and marvel at how many stars we could see. Although only about a mile from the main road the setting is peaceful and quiet except for birdsong. You might see a rabbit or two in the mornings. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs. Glad to have a gas stove and it was very easy to use. Coffee was supplied :) with drip equipment and filters.

Very cool home! Close to Mount Desert Island and Deer Isle/Isle au Haut. Our dog loved stepping out into the yard every morning. Would recommend and stay again.

This lovely home was just as described. Very comfortable, immaculately clean, with everything one might need. I especially loved the deep quiet and artwork. I would like to return in a year for another visit.

Another pleasant week-long stay at Barbara's large, cozy and flawless Maine cottage. Quiet setting, terrific view and convenient location make me want to come back soon.... Thanks to Barbara (host) and Mary (invaluable support crew)!

Excellent!!! We were travelling with two small children and were really happy that we could rent this lovely place. Barbara is a wonderful and helpful host and her friend Mary warmly welcomed us in Surry. The place was very tidy and well prepared to our needs upon arrival. The surrounding is quiet and beautiful. Our sons loved the backyard and we did not have to worry about kids noise. Great! We highly recommend Barbaras place and would definitely book again!!!

We had a lovely stay at Barbara's cottage in Surry. The cottage is very new and was kept quite clean. We had no difficulty finding it and Mary was very welcoming when we arrived. I appreciated the closet space in the bedrooms, and the beds were very comfortable! We spent most of our days visiting Acadia, which was a bit of a drive, but worth it for the peace and quiet at the cottage! Lobster at Perry's was a highlight, as well as the dozens of birds enjoying the bird feeders. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time staying at Barbara's cottage in Surry. We were met when we arrived by Barbara's friend Mary who showed us around the cottage and answered our questions about the area. The location of the cottage is perfect for visits to Acadia National Park, visits to the towns and quieter parks in the area, or just relaxing on the deck. We were immersed in nature, but also had all the amenities of home right there.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for us: quiet and with wonderful views. Barbara was very helpful ahead of time with information. We loved our stay here.

Another memorable stay at Barbara's quaint cottage in Surry. As in previous visits, the house is impeccably furnished, equipped and maintained throughout. The hostess is gracious and caring, the setting is quiet but the location is convenient for nearby Blue Hill and Ellsworth where I go for business. Thanks for a productive visit!

Lovely quiet cottage in mint condition, well appointed, with great view, so I would like to visit again in the spring. The hostess is prompt, charming and caring.

Great experience! Extremely friendly and helpful host, pleasure to meet. Large house with 4 levels, a lot of windows and has small balconies on each floor and bathrooms too. Right on the river, we had fun kayaking and fishing. Close to town and to Acadia. Thank you!

Derek was awesome and readily available to answer little questions to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Great cabin in the woods with lots of space. We recommend this place

The cottage is in the midst of an incredible, very quiet and surrounded by nature. I offered what we found. It is a cozy, clean and with everything you need for a comfortable stay place. Alan is an excellent host, very concerned, friendly and nice. This is a group of small cabins in the woods. During weekends performing concerts in a small rural theater in the middle of the enclosure. Unfortunately, we could not enjoy Alan and his piano since the morning we went to the concert began. It is also conveniently located near Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Surry and Elsworth, but amid the tranquility and charm of the countryside.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage at Surry Arts Center. The cabin was comfortable,with everything we needed and the views and light were incredible. This is a great, semi rustic experience on a property that does great community and international programing. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the property and touring the converted farm buildings with Alan, who was very kind and accommodating. Come with a laid back attitude and be ready to connect with your surroundings...this is not a a hotel but a all basic comforts are there (comfortable bed, demi kitchen with capability for cooking light meals, heater unit that warms or cools the cottage quickly, and a hot water tank capable of efficient showers). Excellent access to Acadia park and Bar Harbor with the benefit of being in a serene setting outside of the crowds and traffic. If you are lucky enough to stay during a full moon you will be extra enchanted.

My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Alan's Air BNB. The cottage was just as cute as the pictures! It's perfect for two people! It was very clean and completely re-built with everything being newly renovated. We stayed there so we could hike Acadia Park and it was about 45 mins away which made it a nice drive. He also gave us a park map and some information about the surrounding town. Would stay here again for sure!

As is clear from the photos of Alan's cottage, it is simply beautiful. The house is quiet and secluded and makes for a great getaway. There are some very scenic spots to relish very close to Alan's cottage. Alan was a wonderful host too. He had plenty of recommendations for nearby places to visit. He was kind and communicative too. I would highly recommend this listing if you are looking for some peace, quiet and beauty.

We were looking for accommodation to visit Acadia National Park. What we found was a very special place worth visiting again. The cottage is situated on an old farm yard with a lovely view to the mountains of Acadia NP. Alan is a very friendly and caring host. Not only did he show us around in the cottage and on the yard. He also recommended places to visit (excellent, thank you Alan) and told us stories about the history of the farm. In the old barn close to the cottage is the stage of the Surry Opera Company, an interesting group of people devoted to music. There are all kinds of interesting music events. We were lucky to hear an extraordinary Jazz concert. Not to mention the wonderful private concert we had, when we spent a nice and warm summer evening at the table next to the cottage, drinking wine, eating cheese and listening to Alan, playing piano and flute in the barn. We wish we could have stayed longer and see more of Blue Hill. Next time!

First off, if you're going to visit Acadia National Park this is the way to go. Alan's place was cozy, easy to get to, and in a great location to be off the beaten path but close enough to Acadia without being in the thicket of tourism. Alan is a gracious and knowledgeable host. Any and everything you could want to know about the area he can point you in the direction. His restaurant recommendations are on point! The property is absolutely beautiful. We went in fall and were able to take in the autumn beauty of Maine's spruce-fir forests, deciduous trees, and sea coasts all within minutes of the property. The cottage is quaint, charming, with everything you need for a Maine getaway. Definitely going to return.

The place was very nice! We even got to see the resident porcupine out and about :) The location is about a 40 minute drive to Acadia, which is not bad at all. There is a trail nearby that leads to a beach and it's super beautiful. Thanks for the nice stay, Alan!

Coastal Cottage was a great place for our stay. Alan spent time reviewing local tourist attractions with us and even gave us a welcome gift of homemade jam. Alan made himself available for questions and gave us a personal tour of the Surry Concert Barn.

The cabin was very clean. There's not much else to it. If what you're looking for is a place to lay your head at night (which is what I needed), then it's great! There's also a great lobster shack nearby.

Host was friendly and accommodating! Cabin was lovely, beautiful and clean.

I stayed at Nancy's cozy little cabin for 2 weeks and it was a wonderful place to come back in the evening after exploring beautiful Maine. The garden is very calm and I enjoyed the privacy in my little cabin. The sweet bathroom is in the main house, just across the garden. Nancy is a very interesting and interested person and she did everything to make my stay in bluehill unforgetably beautiful. Thank you, Nancy!

Nancy was incredibly welcoming, especially considering the lateness of my arrival (around 10PM after a long day at work in Portland). The cabin light was on, as well as the light inside the main house where the bathroom was. I did make the mistake of parking in the wrong place my first night, but once I could see in the light of day, the Morgan Bay Zendo was very easy to find. So I would recommend getting to the property in the daylight when you can see everything :) Despite my mistake, Nancy was incredibly kind and considerate, and I only regret not being able to get to know her and the area a little better. Thank you so much!!

My husband and I stayed in the cabin for two nights. The cabin was indeed very cozy and more spacious than expected. The area is lovely and about a 30 minute drive away from Acadia National Park. Nancy was very responsive by text and email, but we wish we had seen more of her during our stay to benefit more from her knowledge of the area. All in all, staying in the cabin is a fun and more comfy alternative to camping.

Nancy was very accessible when I was desperately lost and trying to navigate the circuitous roads of coastal Maine on my motorcycle. The teeny cabin is, indeed, cozy and teeny...If you like rustic and private, this is the place to stay as you are a good distance from the house and up against the woods.

Nancy was a gracious and accommodating host. Her cabin is indeed tiny, which adds to its charm and coziness. The area is beautiful and I hope to return soon.

Nancy is a gracious host in a beautiful location. The cabin is sparse but if that's all you need, I recommend it.

Sedge was a very communicative host, and handled a tough situation very well. We were arriving late and the previous guest had accidentally taken the key, so Sedge had to trouble shoot and made sure we were able to access the space late at night when we arrived. The space is very clean, and really simple: not particularly homey, but the beds were really comfy, and Sedge left out a bunch of brochures and maps and helpful tips for the area. We can't complain!

Sedge has a great home for air bnb. The house was freshly painted and extremely clean. The host left us coffee and juice which was a nice touch. The beds and bedding were comfortable and clean. Sedge was fast to get back to me and communicated well. It's about a half hour from Bar Harbor and for the time of the year Sedge has a very reasonable rate. The neighborhood was very quiet with no visible neighbors. The house is close to a road so with the windows open you may hear a truck or two at the stoplight but nothing that was too distracting to get good sleep

Hard to find house number, communication/key handoff worked fine.

Host would not answer phone when we needed help locating the house. The house is immediately adjacent to a major highway, with all the noise one would expect. Furnishings were sparse, with barely enough plates and utensils for two to eat. The good is that it was clean, and the beds comfortable.

Loved the Historic Allen House. Serge provided plates, pans, and utencils plus towels which made the stay convenient. Very easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Leading up to the reservation, Sedge was very communicative and was even able to accommodate a late check-in in the wee hours of the morning (we got in at 3AM). He sent us detailed directions to ensure we were able to find the house. Location of the house is extremely convenient as its located right by a supermarket (Shaws), several drug stores, as well as late night fast food drive-thrus. I would recommend checking out Sylvia's Cafe nearby for breakfast/brunch. The drive to Bar Harbor is also 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic so not too bad if you are looking for a cheaper alternative to visit Acadia/Bar Harbor. The house itself is partially hidden behind a furniture store and can be a bit confusing if you don't know where to look. Its an attached house but the doors leading to the rest of the house have been locked on both sides so it is truly separated from the rest of the house. The house is clean and decently well-appointed. The kitchen looks to be a recent remodel and plates/basic cutlery are provided along with a coffeemaker. The layout of the house contains two floors with both bedrooms on the upper floors and the living room/kitchen on the 1st floor. The sofa in the living room is comfortable enough to sleep one person. Bathroom is clean and shower has good water pressure with hot water available at any given moment, no complaints. Fresh towels are provided for you. Please note there is NO hairdryer. We had a bit of a mix-up regarding the house being cleaned up before we arrived but Sedge quickly corrected this and was extremely apologetic about the issue as there was a miscommunication with the cleaning agency. He rectified the issue and made sure to follow up with us to ensure everything went smoothly. Overall, would recommend staying here again.

It was spacious, clean, well situated, comfortable with plenty of off street parking. We made some suggestions to Sedge regarding further improvements and he readily accepted them. These premises are ideally located for sightseeing to surrounding areas, such as Acadia (well worth a visit, especially Bar Harbor).

First and foremost Sedge was a gracious host. I had no issues when it came to communicating with him. The location was excellent as it was within walking distance (less than a mile) from restaurants and pubs located in Ellsworth. The place itself was very nice and clean. Our family was able to enjoy this as our base camp to explore Acadia National Forest (our primary reason for visiting) and we will stay here again if we find ourselves in this location in the future.

We loved staying with Greg and Karen at their beautiful home. They could not have been more accommodating, and we appreciated their excellent restaurant recommendations as well as their suggestions for fun things to do in the area. We especially enjoyed the freshly baked goods waiting for us every morning! Their home is spotless and charming and we look forward to staying here on our next trip!

Greg and Karen were the ultimate hosts and their home is lovely! I will definitely plan on staying with them again.

One of the reasons we love airbnb is having the opportunity to stay in homes just like Greg and Karen's 90+ yr old restored farm home. They were very welcoming hosts. Their house was a "show home" which was spotless. They entertained our curiosity by answering questions about the historic aspect of the house. We especially loved the original canvas painted walls in th dining room. Very comfortable bed allowing us to have an excellent night's sleep. We highly recommend staying in their beautiful home which is conveniently located near Bar Harbor and Acadia National Forest. We shared with them our Maine costal trip plans and they recommended we stop in Machias and eat at Helen's which we did..... Twice. The pies are to die for! thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your beautiful home.

What an amazing find! A beautiful home with fantastic and warm owners. We enjoyed our stay so much we wished we could have stayed a few additional days. Both Greg and Karen were great to talk with and provided so much invaluable information about Acadia and surroundings areas that we felt well equipped to venture out and explore. The home was so warm and the light coming in was very refreshing. This was a great vacation locale!

Greg and Karen are wonderful! My girlfriend and I felt very confortable in their beautiful house. There is everything provided you need like maps for Bar Harbor/Acadia including good tips from Greg. We enjoyed our conversation at the fireplace. Greg made us nice coffee even though we had leave very early. Nr.1 place if you are planing to do a trip in amazing Maine.

Greg and Karen's home was beautiful, room was spacious and exactly as described. Great view of Acadia mountain in the background. Short drive to bar harbor and national park. Thank you guys for saving us as we decided last minute to drive up to Maine and needed a place to stay! Very hospitable couple and gave us several recommendations including a stop at Long Grain, (yummy Thai food, not to be missed) as we started our drive home down south! Highly recommend this place!

What a beautiful home! The charm of its interior just has to be seen to be appreciated. Greg and Karen have lovingly renovated and brought this 1920's home to life. The bedroom I chose (they have 2 to choose from) was extremely comfortable-I never sleep well on the road, and I slept like a rock! The road noise dies down after 10 and is not a real factor. While the bathroom is shared (shower-wise), Greg and Karen do an excellent job of making it mostly yours. Greg's super knowledgable bout Acadia Nat'l Park and lent me a great trail map and guidebook. A quick 15-20 min to Bar Harbor. Great experience with delightful hosts!

Our stay at Karen and Greg's home was great. Great location and great abode. Right before the bridge to the island and a much better deal than other opportunities on the island.

The host canceled this reservation 174 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Wow what a wonderful experience and stay at Lazy Bay. The host hospitality couldn't have been warmer or better. The accommodations were cozy and worked well for our family of four. The kitchen not only had the necessary pots, pans, dishes but condiments as well, including cooking oil, cinnamon and honey and much more. We didn't need to bring or buy anything but the food. I particularly like the three views of the bay: one from the deck, up a rise near the bay and one down at water level all with seating. Its location near Acadia and Bar Harbor was fantastic. The place is slightly on the rustic side, but the charm of it worked well for us. Cable tv, wireless internet and cell phone signal were fine. Also nice addition were the fire pits and outdoor candle lighting. We highly recommend this beautiful relaxing well located retreat. David, Bonnie, MIchael & Brian

Beautiful location with more than comfortable accommodations. Something to do for everyone!!

Everything was great. Cute, clean house. Perfect for our weekend stay. The only regret is that we didn't get to take better advantage of the gorgeous yard, as it is on the water. But we were visiting for a friend's wedding so the weekend was packed. We also didn't get a chance to meet the hosts but they were helpful and responsive in all emails. Would definitely recommend!

Eric and Candice are good hosts. They allowed us to drop off our luggage on the way to the Acadia National Park before the check-in time. The cottage itself is very cute and roomy. The waterfront area is very pretty. They respect our privacy but responsive as well. We would recommend their cottage to anyone. We would definitely stay with them again if we return to the area. Thank you very much, Eric & Candice.

Our stay at your charming, very clean and well maintained little house was perfect for our one night stay in the Acadia area. We especially enjoyed your property in the back- sitting by the water, sipping our tea was the perfect way to begin our day! The view is serene. And, the drive to the park is only about 20 minutes! The bathtub plug needs to be repaired.

This cottage is great! It's so quaint and in a great location! Backs up to the water and it is beautiful. I would definitely go back if I could. Thanks again Eric and Candice!

This is a cozy cottage situated close to a bay, with garden running down to the water's edge, and conveniently located for access to Acadia. Eric contacted us in advance of our stay and was present to greet us. We felt very welcome. The cottage is well equipped and as specified. It was clean.

We were so happy with the location and hosts. The hosts were extremely helpful and provided us with more then we expected in the house. The house was a perfect distance from both Ellsworth and Bar Harbor

Very nice host. Great location which is just 20 mins away to the Acadia national park.

Had a wonderful stay. Great area to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia and Bangor.

Ami's place was great! Super comfy and cozy, even for four of us. Not a far drive from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, very much enjoyed our stay here! She was very responsive and helpful too. There was no microwave so just know that to heat anything up you'll have to use the oven/stove/toaster oven but not a major inconvenience. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get good value if going to Acadia!

Excellent place and well priced!

She wasn't there to receive us but left the keys inside the house and we were well informed about it.

Nothing fancy and fancy wasn't what we were looking for. Listing was as described and very clean. Thank you. :)

Ami was a pleasure to work with. Quick response & answered questions. Check in was easy and her home is convenient to our visit to Acadia. First impression was the outside needs some sprucing up:) that said it's in a decent area off the main road. Beautiful sunset views. Interior is fine and great value. As one other reviewer noted, it's a work in progress. A couple of finished cosmetics and the place will be great. The bathroom door is quirky and unexpected, (a Dutch door). I would definitely recommend installing blinds on both entrance doors for privacy:) The apartment was clean & odor free which is very important! Thanks for having us and we would visit again and stay at your place.

Ami's place was great! It is well equipped with all necessities. Close to central Ellsworth and 20 minutes from Acadia. I would definitely rent it again.

A truly unique and beautiful cabin, on an amazing piece of land. The camp was just as advertised and it even exceeded my expectations. Feels far away from everything, yet its right down the road from Acadia National Park. Just wish we were there longer to do some hiking. Thank you Carol for the perfect getaway!

If you are a person seeking a reminder of simpler times, encounters with nature, and opportunities for solitude, look no further; the property that Carol and Tom offer to their guests is an absolute gem. The cabin is as cozy as you can imagine including a great little, wood burning stove which is nice to read next to in the evenings. Highlights also include the outdoor shower, the deck out back, and yes, even the outhouse (you also have a bathroom upstairs). With three guys in the cabin, we were more than comfortable with room to spare. The surrounding area offers ample space in which to roam and, if you're a dog lover, they have two very friendly canines that will happily accompany you. Carol and Tom were very attentive to anything we needed and told some of the best stories we had heard in a while (including the fact they built the cabin and their home themselves)! This offered a great place from which to base our many excursions into Acadia, allowing us to retreat from the tourism of Bar Harbor to our own quiet wilderness at the end of the day. If you often dream of seeking solitude in a cabin in the woods, you will not be disappointed!

Carol and Tom your cabin in the woods was perfect...the wood stove, outdoor shower, your hand built cabin and all it's treasures.... waking to the birds at 5 am sunrise...the dogs and your life and love stories made the experience even richer. I left feeling inspired to live life more fully and authentically, thank you- thank you. Love Nichole and Suzie

Carol's place is unique and wonderful! Along with Tom, she has created about the most ideal rustic and romantic getaway I can imagine. She has written several books that I found on a shelf. One I read describes her experience building the cabin. As a re-modeler of old cabins myself, I could appreciate all the little touches and the overkill Tom put into building it and his house. He sawed all the lumber for it and, looking up from the bed, I marveled at boards that had to have been at least 22 inches wide. I didn't meet Tom, but Carol was the perfect host and I hope she has a vacancy the next time I visit Bar Harbor.

Carol was wonderful, very welcoming, and quick with a suggestion of where to go in the area to see the oceans and mountains. The cabin itself is beyond cute. The porch is glorious in the morning, with a view over to the fields and forest. And the kitchen and living is a wonderful place to cook and meal and enjoy it. Great place.

The camp is a wonderful place to stay. Peaceful, relaxing and a nice getaway. It's everything it is advertised to be. Only one warning, if you have kids, and if you lose water, check the water pump handle just next to the porch. Our little guys accidently turned off our water supply.

Carol was a warm, funny and knowledgeable host who taught us everything we could ever want to know about Maine and then some. Tom is the handiest man I've ever met and he rescued us when our car got stuck in the gravel like it was nothing. The cabin is cozy, comfortable and adorned with bits and pieces from Carol and Tom's Maine adventures (mostly beaver-themed) which add so much wonderful character and spirit. The dogs are friendly, fluffy and beautiful; the entire property is a veritable wonderland and our only regret is that we could have stayed longer.

Believe all of the other reviews...this camp is a perfect stay for anyone who wants to visit the area and not stay in the standard cookie cutter, highly populated options. Relaxing with a glass of wine on the porch that overlooks the meadow and woods, and watching the light fade from the sky and the stars come out, was a perfect end to a day of hiking in Acadia. And be sure to take a read through the Bad Beaver Farm stories in the books that Carol wrote...the stories bring to life the love, laughter and labor that gave birth to the camp and Bad Beaver Farm.

The Mootel was perfect. Lovely room, perfect location (very walkable), clean, cozy, warm. Kirsten was a great host -- very helpful and communicative. Internet was good and there were provisions for making coffee and tea. So nice.

Kristen kept in constant contact with us via text even when we didn't arrive until after 8pm. She greeted us, showed us the room and even presented us with coupons for free ice cream sundaes! The room is immaculate as was the shared bathroom. We happened to be the only ones staying that night so we had the place to ourselves (ordinarily I think there would only be one other room rented out). There was no a/c, but there was a large floor ran which was absolutely fine. We will definitely keep the "Mootel" in mind again when passing through Ellsworth because it is conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants!

The Mootel is one of the best BnBs I've ever stayed at. It is clean (complete with a brand-new bathroom), spacious, gets good light, and -- the best part -- is located atop an excellent ice cream parlor! Kirsten was sweet and welcoming. The room is set up with coffee, tea, and bottled water, and you get a free ice cream sundae. Ellsworth is a cute town within striking distance from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Kristen is friendly and accommodating. The town was quaint and the area is quiet at night. I stayed at the Moo-tel as its not far from Acadia National Park. The space is well appointed, tastefully decorated, and VERY clean. I would HIGHLY recommend their place.

Kirsten was there to greet us and show us the room. She was exceptionally friendly and gracious with her willingness to be on call if we needed anything. The free sundaes were fabulous. They were so good that we went back and bought one the following night. The bed was quite comfy and the room was very clean. I loved that the floor was not carpeted but was wood laminate.

Great communication and the place was amazing, especially the bed. Location is great for the area and quiet at night.

It was nice staying at Mootel. I had the whole apartment to myself when I was there. Room is very clear and spacious. It's easy to get there and parking is right opposite to the house. It was a shame I didn't get to meet Kirsten in person, but she was very responsive, provided a lot of useful information. All in all, very positive experience.

Kirsten and Steve were fantastic hosts and made us feel right at home. The Mootel was immaculate and our room was perfect. Very nice neighborhood too. The ice cream parlor downstairs was absolutely delicious! Would love to stay here again when we're in the area. Highly recommend!!

This was easily my favorite Airbnb stay! The yurt felt very remote but was within a mile from downtown Ellsworth which was convenient! The view from the deck was beautiful and we lucked out with some warmer weather considering the time of year... so we truly got to enjoy the outdoors! Wood stove heated the entire space and there was plenty of wood stocked up outside. Loved the claw foot tub- a hot bath was key after a few hours of hiking through Acadia! Would definitely love to stay here again and could not recommend it enough!

Location - perfect, peaceful, and beautiful. The Yurt is amazingly warm and a fun place to cook, chill, and enjoy a good book. The short drive to Acadia National Park made seeing the sights handy with no time wasted driving. Definitely recommend this spot!!!

The yurt was a perfect home base to explore Acadia! We loved the wood stove and stayed warm and dry despite the rainy conditions outside.

Amazing place to stay, very cozy and has everything you need. Great host!

My mum, sister and I stayed 4 nights in the yurt and we had a fabulous time. It was cozy and very comfortable. It had everything we needed, including spices, coffee and clean towels and sheets. We heard the birds and saw a deer, and my mum watched the a beautiful sunrise from the deck. Jed, the manager, was very helpful. He greeted us and showed us everything and also fixed a lamp just after it broke. It is just outside Ellsworth, which is so quaint. It is a 20 minute drive from Mt Desert Island and Acadia National Park, where we spent most of our time hiking and swimming. We had a great vacation and wish we had stayed longer as there is so much to do and see in the area.

Amazing yurt vacation! Great private location with easy access to Acadia National Park. If you love camping, this is a luxury. Simple beautiful yurt with kitchen and wood stove. We cooked every breakfast and dinner here and explored the island everyday. Awesome to find a dog friendly spot!

This property is such a cozy and unique place to stay while visiting Acadia. The surrounding forest and stream are absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed our visit despite the foggy and rainy weather that persisted during our entire stay. I was thankful to come home to the yurt and be able to start the wood stove and light the lamps to start our dinner each evening. Because the sleeping loft is located over the kitchen area, the lamp light doesn't quite reach into that area. I would recommend bringing a headlamp to provide light to cook by. The kitchen has all the essentials to prepare simple meals. You should feel comfortable starting a generator to replenish the water/hot water for the yurt. It is not hard to do, and the host is easily contacted to provide instructions. Bring extra blankets/sleeping bags if you don't want to be bothered by keeping the wood stove going overnight. Bring camp chairs to take advantage of the wraparound porch/outdoor fire pit. (We didn't use the the outdoor spaces in the evenings because of the wet weather.) This property has an incredibly secluded feel which we loved, but is really close to grocery stores and restaurants in Ellsworth.

Great place to stay at, very close to stores like Walmart for necessities and Dunkin Donuts for a treat. The communication is outstanding between Bruce and Joyce. You'll definitely want to come back!
