Cottage vacation rentals in Ellsworth

This house has a beautiful view of the lake!! The complementary water activity’s are worth booking!! We enjoyed our stay and will come back!! Make sure to walk out on the dock at night and look at the stars!!

Our stay at the Great Pond Airbnb was incredible! The house was beautiful, cozy, and fully stocked with all the amenities we needed. We especially loved the paddle boat—it was magical to take it out on the lake early in the morning and watch the sunrise. Truly a dream! Finding the place initially was a bit tricky (we missed some details in the instructions), and cell service in the area is spotty, so definitely screenshot directions beforehand. Once settled, though, it was perfect. Being just over an hour from Acadia National Park was a huge bonus! We had a blast hiking, especially on Precipice Trail (challenging but amazing!) and Beehive Trail for a slightly easier, but still fun option. This spot offered the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

It’s a lovely cabin, the hot tub is a plus. It’s also fairly private since it’s last cabin of the property.

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

I spent a week at this beautiful little cabin with my two grandchildren. It was the perfect size and looks just as beautiful as the pictures inside and out. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and the beds were very comfortable. The lake can be seen from the cabin and we enjoyed the dock for fishing and watching the ducks. It’s very close to town for groceries etc but very quiet and peaceful on a dead end street. Jason was very welcoming and always available for questions and quick to respond. The only thing that would have made it better for my grandkids is if there was easier access for getting into the lake with a a little beach area or a lawn that went down to the water. But if you want a quiet get away in beautiful surroundings don’t hesitate.

Absolutely loved our stay here! If you're someone who enjoys being close to nature and traveling with your dog, this place is perfect. The surroundings are peaceful and green. Fabiola was super friendly and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. The house rules were clear and straightforward, which made the whole experience stress-free. We felt really welcomed and comfortable the entire time. All in all, a great stay—we’d definitely come back!

Probably the most amazing vacation rental setting we're ever experienced. This place sits in a nature preserve on 2.5 acres of beautiful Maine coastline. Going to bed and waking up with seals and wave noise, watching Bald Eagle fishing... Just like living a Discovery Channel dream. North of the property is the preserve, 300' South is your first neighbor. Craig/Kadedra were super responsive, extremely nice and helpful. The house is a 70' blast from the past, well maintained and has all the pluses (dishwasher, washing machine, good internet). We will be back!

Perfect spot for a quick family Acadia weekend. Nice spot, everything was clean and new, and Alicia was always responsive. Thanks!

Cute little cabin in the woods!! Super clean, check in was very easy. Nichole was very easy to communicate with. The cabin was perfect for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay again!

Driftwood Cottage has become one of our absolute favorite places to stay/visit. The views. The company. Everything about it is beautiful. Already talking about our next visit.

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

Katy's Cottage was a great place to stay and explore Little Deer Isle, Deer Isle, and the Blue Hill Peninsula. It was a great space to relax, hike, and explore Downeast Maine. The kitchen was very well stocked, and we had several great family meals with locally sourced seafood. We had a wonderful time staying here!

Such an absolutely magical place to stay! My pup and I stayed for a month while I worked and played. Gorgeous views of the Beech Hill Pond and close enough to various towns for hiking, sightseeing and enjoying local food. Spent time on Deer Isle, MDI at Bar Harbour & Acadia, and even made the trek to Lubec. if you want to experience a wee bit of winter and early spring, mid to late March into April was the perfect time. We had a few inches of snow fall within the first few days of the trip. Don't hesitate to book this cottage!

Great place to stay close to Acadia and downtown Ellsworth. We took advantage of the free Level 2 charger next door to keep our EV charged. Kristan was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely come back!

Had everything we needed for a brief visit to the beautiful Blue Hill area and very much enjoyed getting to know a little bit about Yan and her place when we arrived.

After days of hiking and exploring in Acadia, the cottage was a quiet, cozy place to spend our evenings. It had everything we needed, was in a quiet, peaceful location, and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and area attractions in the welcome binder and guestbook. Audrey and Scott were responsive and kind hosts. Thanks so much!

Jon’s place was just as described: a two bedroom cottage with a Jack and Jill connecting bathroom. It suited our purpose since we spent the majority of time visiting the area. It was very clean and Jon was super responsive and even gave us a lot of info on what to visit in the area. We spent time in Acadia and Bar Harbor while staying there. Like a hotel room If you don’t need a separate living area and are just looking for a place to stay, this fits the bill. I would definitely recommend.

Sweet little house was perfect for our family and vacation to Mount Desert Island. Convenient access to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor, and any place else we wanted to go, but much quieter than being in Bar Harbor. House and kitchen was well stocked and Emily was extremely pleasant and welcoming.

Absolutely loved our stay! Private and peaceful. Very cozy and had everything we needed!

The place is, as advertised, the cutest. It's equipped as well, having every tool or utensil you might need to enjoy your seafood. This was our first trip Downeast and we found it to be as charming and naturally beautiful as we hoped it would be. The cherry on top was our hosts. Bonnie and Chubba are especially friendly and are true stewards of this grand corner of America.

Fantastic place to get away, yet comfortably close to Bar Harbor, Acadia and other local attractions. The host really thought of everything when planning out this property. Loved explaining the vintage toys upstairs to our teens and had a blast playing ping pong and darts! Nice, shaded walk to the shoreline, too. Loved that the property was fully surrounded by trees and the screened in porch was a bonus! A real gem in the woods! Thanks for everything Will!
