Family Getaway
The house was perfect for our family trip! Being right on the water was such a treat when sitting on the deck and enjoying the view. The house was welcoming and the kitchen was so well stocked, the beds were comfortable and there was lots of space for all of us, (6 adults and a 3-year old). The location felt secluded, but was not too far from Acadia which was our ultimate destination. This was our first trip to Maine and we absolutely loved all of the beauty that is there. Thank you for sharing your home and making us feel comfortable.

Beautiful Location
Our family of 6 (two grandparents, two parents and two teens) had a wonderful stay at this property. The location was perfect, the views were stunning and the property was as described and very quiet. Some of the rooms were smaller than they appeared in the pictures but that is common and wasn't an issue. We had plenty of space and overall I would say that the house was even better in person than it was in the pictures. The great room was a wonderful space for relaxing and with some extended family it was very nice to have the main living area as well for tv watching. The kitchen had everything we needed and everything was in very good shape. The house was overall very clean and comfortable. My only small complaint was that the floors could have used a good scrub. The bathroom floors were clean but the rest of the house produced dirty socks. We also were unable to get the jets working in the tub in the upstairs bathroom but we notified the host who said she would look into it. Minor inconvenience. My family could have happily stayed another week! I'd recommend this house to anyone with a larger group, The third bathroom off the kitchen is not pictured but was quite lovely.

Quiet and Beautiful Stay
We loved our stay. The house was clean and the location was beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed and the Great Room had some toys and puzzles to use while we enjoyed the view from all the windows. The view from the porch was perfect and we spent a lot of time on the beach with our 4 year old finding shells, sea glass, rocks and more. We saw heron, eagles, fish, crabs and even saw a seal out on the kayaks that we rented for the week. The location was convenient to downtown Ellsworth and also to Acadia and Bar Harbor. This is a great spot for relaxing and for adventure. We had a great week.

A Beautiful Oasis on the Union River
We had the pleasure of spending a week in this large, beautiful home with our 6 adult children. It was equipped with all the necessities, had room to spread out, beautiful views of the water from all of the rooms, comfortable beds, spotless. Ellsworth stores/restaurants were only about a 10-15 min drive, while Bar Harbor/Acadia about a 20-30 min drive. It was very peaceful at the home, which was wonderful after spending the days with the crowds at Acadia. We will cherish all of the memories!

Wonderful Location
Out family of nine enjoyed a week at Kissick Point. There was plenty of room, plenty of towels. Well equipped kitchen. The location is secluded with a well kept yard and deck. The view was beautiful even on cloudy days. We had a large eagle and its youngster visit at least twice a day. Everyone enjoyed time walking the beach. This was our 6th trip to Maine, first off Mt. Desert Island. It is a short drive to Ellsworth and about 20 minutes to Bar Harbor or Acadia. The owners are very responsive to questions and needs. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms very modern, air conditioning worked great when we had an 89 degree day. Highly recommend this house.

Annual family vacation
Overall, we all enjoy the home and the outdoor environment. The home was well appointed requiring no need to transport or purchase basic needs. Two rooms on the main floor, one the 4 children enjoyed and the other the 5 adults enjoyed giving freedom to all while indoors. Water, rocks and boulders gave unexpected entertainment.

Great Maine Vacation
The house was lovely and just as advertised. Beautiful property on the water - we loved watching the tides and walking the beach each day. House was well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. The owner offered a credit due to one of the showers being broken that required a full renovation in the off-season. Excellent location close to groceries and supplies in Ellsworth and an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We would definitely stay again.

Unfortunately we weren't able to stay at Daria's home due to the hurricane, which affected electricity at the home. Daria was so helpful and kind in keeping us informed on the status, and was gracious enough to grant us a refund since we weren't able to travel. We can't wait to stay in the home next year!

Beautiful sunsets
The location was fantastic. we enjoyed beautiful sunsets and kayaking right out the back of the house. was also pretty easy getting to the park and Bar Harbor although plan for a bit of traffic later in the day coming back. Overall the house met our needs for three generations of guests. plenty of space to relax. one bathroom shower was out of service but this seems to be a recent and temporary situation. some kitchen appliances needed cleaning but overall the house was clean and very well stocked. the owner is super responsive and receptive to feedback. grateful for the many beautiful memories made!

Great Location and Accomodations
Property is amazing. Great access to the water and is nice and close to Ellsworth and Acadia. Everything was as described in the listing. We had one issue with one of the three showers being broken, but the owner communicated it and I'm sure it was only temporary. We had a lot of trouble finding places with enough showers to accommodate eight people in the area, so grab this one if it's open.

Our family of eight plus an infant reunited for a week’s stay at this wonderful house. The views were fantastic even with all the fog. The house is well maintained, very clean and well equipped. We appreciated the pack and play for the baby. The house is very private but nicely located for those who need their “Dunkin” in the morning. It’s a short 25 minute drive to Mt.

Perfect house, great location!
This was the perfect house for our family vacation. The house was equipped with all amenities you could think of. The fenced yard was perfect as we brought our dogs. We visited Acadia twice during our visit as well as found a trail in Ellsworth to hike. We will definitely be back when the weather is warmer and can enjoy water activities and would definitely stay at this house again.
