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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

We had a lovely stay at Cheryl's cabin. It was cozy and the kitchen was very well stocked. Our teenage son loved sleeping in the loft. The deck and the views were great!

Lovely stay. Peaceful. Relaxing. Went perfectly smoothly. Will return.

The cabin is absolutely wonderful. We had a great experience staying there. There were a couple of small hiccups with our visit (the hiccups that I'm referring to were the kind of thing that would happen once and not be an issue in the future), and despite the host being in NYC she responded to my email within 20 minutes and had a caretaker call us to help immediately. That really meant a lot to us, and demonstrated that the host truly cared about our experience. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Wonderful experience.

Cheryl and the caretaker, David, made us feel welcome from the start by offering to let us come by the cabin and leave our stuff before the official check-in time. David even went out of his way to reach out to me that morning to let me know that. The listing description was very accurate. It was really perfect. I really enjoyed sleeping in the loft. The bed was very comfortable. The cabin was just right. It had everything we needed. The setting was beautiful! I enjoyed many swims in the bay. There were eagles, osprey and loons. A whale even showed up one day! I liked it more and more each day we were there. David's flexibility extended to our departure as well which was very much appreciated! I would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time at Cheryl's cabin on the bay. The cabin is just as described and is very private and quiet. It is close enough to Acadia National Park to enjoy, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions of the area. We preferred to sleep in the loft area which has a large, comfortable bed and a nice view of the bay. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Cheryl was quickly responsive to every email and very pleasant and helpful to deal with.

The view of the bay is worth staying there alone, but she was gracious and very helpful. It was great to have her caretaker David (very nice man) near by as we accidentally locked ourselves out. It is a rustic but comfortable cabin with everything you need to cook. Being able to walk down to the water was great.

The host made us feel very welcome. The listing was very accurate and the location was private. Cheryl was very communicative and this made the trip easier. If you can make it over the driveway, there are some nice roads to walk around. A little buggy, but bugspray or a candle solved most of this. Fully recommend this for anyone seeking a private and reflective space. Beautiful views facing the west. We saw an eagle and two hawks.

Fantastic hide-away, the cabin feels like it could be in the middle of nowhere. My girlfriend and I spent a lovely week here just reading, cooking and relaxing. If or when you want to leave the middle of nowhere then there's enough things nearby to give you a little break, as well as an amazing Lobster pound a short drive down the road.

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!!

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.

The mini-vacation was an incredible get away for us. The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed for the long weekend. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, with unlimited logs, as well as the lake, with canoe and life jackets provided. Our only regret was that we didn't have more time to spend there. Robert, Vickie, Keith and Cindy

Everything about the Log Home is wonderful. We knew within a day that we will want to come back next year. Nancy and Dick are terrific hosts, and despite our late evening arrival, were there to greet us and make us feel welcome. The lake is beautiful, the house is clean, comfortable, fully-equipped, and just the right size for our family of four. We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch reading, playing games and just enjoying the breeze from the lake. We highly recommend the Log Home as a very relaxing vacation getaway!

Nancy and Dick were very gracious hosts. The log home was everything we hoped it would be. The rooms are good sized, the kitchen was well appointed and the spot on the lake is beautiful!

I can't say enough good things about Nancy&Dick's place. It's way better than shown by the pictures. Check in was very smooth. Nancy greeted us when we arrived and made sure we got everything we need. The second day Dick drove down to send us some crackers for the Maine lobsters we just bought. Really appreciate that! The place is super super clean. It's right by the water and a canoe was provided. We went out paddling twice during our stay. If you are into cooking dinners like us, you might want to do some grocery shopping on your way in. I may be wrong but the nearest grocery store we found was about 20 mins drive. But hey that's why you can enjoy the serenity here. When we came back from hiking in Acadia, sitting by the water and watching sunset glow was a fabulous experience. Only thing I want to mention is that since this is a wooden house, you can hear voices from upstairs bedroom when you are in downstairs bedroom. We are a family traveling so no problem for us at all. Just make sure you are comfortable with the intimacy.

Nancy and Dick were wonderful! Dick greeted us and showed us around then we were on our own. The pictures didn't do this log home justice. It's beautiful. My husband loved the back porch with the view of Toddy Pond and comfy couch. My daughter loved the upstairs bedroom. We all loved the fire pit and so many visible stars at night! The kitchen was great, too!

I feel really welcomed by the host. The house looks much prettier than the picture. The location is great. 45 minutes of driving to Acadia national park and 30 minutes driving to moose point state park. The weather was too cold to Kayak but I will definitely do it if the weather permits it. The house is clean and neat. It is a cozy little place for a family trip or a trip in general. The view from the Padio is just stunning. You get to enjoy the Toddy pond and all the beatific scenic views! I will definitely come back for summer vacation.

Nancy could not have been more accommodating as my family who was to accompany me was stuck in the hurricane in Florida at the last minute. They worked with us to make it work. The place was cozy, lovely and secluded. However, one of the beds needs a new mattress and the wifi didn't stream well, causing an issue for one in our party. The campfire on the lake was so nice to come home to after a big day in Acadia. The pictures truly represent this lovely cabin in the woods. We'd rebook if we returned. Thanks, Nancy.

We had a fabulous, relaxing stay at the lakeside cabin. The cabin itself is beautiful, and Dick and Nancy have thought of everything you could possibly need while staying at their lovely cabin. We really hope to come back at some point!

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.

Stefanie did a great job communicating with us and providing us with the necessary information prior to our trip. The cabin is tucked away by a lake with great views and is perfect for a large group getaway. The cabin itself is cozy, though not the most fancy, and a little on the older side. Also, for a group of 8 or more, having only one restroom available will prove to be a challenge for sure. However, If you're looking for a simple place to unwind, away from the crowds, this is perfect for you.

Barbara was a very accomadating host and met us at the house when we arrived. The space was just what we needed with a large living room with a kitchenette, a very comfortable king size bed with excellent bedding and private bathroom. We felt at home in this 1 bedroom walk out basement apartment. She provided us with light breakfast in the mini fridge, Wi-Fi info, site seeing brochures, maps, guides and local restaurant menus. We would absolutely recommend it!

I felt welcome since the moment I showed up. The apartment was much nicer than I could have hoped for.

I have never met an Air b and b host as thoughtful. She is the sweetest lady ever ! She had bought us the local newspaper, breakfest the next day , she even made sure we had an umbrella or poncho. Stay here ! The absolute best host.

Barbara met at the house and gave the grand tour. She is a very nice person. The woods surrounding her home are beautiful. The space is below her house and it was warm and private. She provided great coffee, milk, and even some hard boiled eggs. We had a nice dinner at a burrito place called 86This! in Ellsworth. It was really good. We spent 2 days hiking in the park, which was wonderful. It was nice coming back to a quiet clean place.

Very comfortable and spacious apartment and a very nice host

The king bed was extremely comfortable. The space was large and warm, which was great for coming in after cross country skiing. I felt like I was staying in a home with all the accommodations as a 5 star resort. I enjoyed walking into town with the beautiful snow fall and grabbing a meal at Finn's then poking into the local shops. It was also a treat to go into Bar Harbor' Thirsty Whale. The fresh daily muffins and vegetables from the nearby organic farm and cafe were scrumptious. Thank you for the stay in your nature sanctuary.

Wonderful Stay!!! As pictured, home is well off road, a short distance from the center of Ellsworth. Our totally separate apartment was a Spacious, modern walk-in at the sub-level of her house, with large bedroom and larger living area . The kingsize bed was Very comfortable, and bathroom great. WiFi was good as well. Barb, your Airbnb accommodation far exceeded our expectations and was an excellent value.

Barbara welcomed us with open arms, even after being 3 hours late from our original time of arrival. She walked us through all the details of the private room, which was more like a private one-bedroom apartment with a private entry. The space included a beautiful living room, bathroom, dining room and a separate bedroom with the most comfortable bed. The perfect space, better than a 4-star hotel. Just an amazing host and space!
