Winter Getaway

This property was PERFECT!! Every evening we sat by the fire pit and enjoyed the amazing atmosphere and view listening to music. We ate lobster every night and enjoyed the cottage. It is very clean and comfortable. We are so glad we chose it and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.

Spindle Cottage sept 14-21

This is such a special place with a large yard and wonderful view. We enjoyed the tidal changes and the wildlife. The house has everything you need and was clean. We enjoyed campfires each night. The windows across the front of the home upstairs and downstairs provided an excellent view of Union Bay. We will return if time permits

Charming Cottage

This is a charming and cozy house. We loved looking at the view and the wildlife. It was an easy 35-40 min drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor and then back home to the quiet privacy at this spot.

Family week away by the sea

We were visiting from England, and looking for peace, quiet and spectacular views and we certainly found them here. The house location is perfect - the immediate surroundings couldn't be more peaceful, but access is very easy for Acadia and the highway for longer trips, as well as easy shopping in Ellsworth. The grounds of the house are gorgeous, with direct access to the sea, and space to relax by the fire at night. The house itself is extremely comfortable and well-equipped with gorgeous views from all the main rooms. The only very minor negative is that one of the bedrooms is smaller and doesn't have a view (which caused some arguments between our daughters even though they are young adults now!)

Great property!

We really enjoyed our stay at Spindle Cottage. It's a beautiful house, very clean, well decorated, and well-stocked (shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, etc...). It's also a beautiful property right on the water and nice and quiet. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Acadia.
