Ellsworth House | Waterfront, Family Retreat up to 12, Acadia National Park, Coastal Maine, Camp

6 Bedroom House in Ellsworth

Branch lake is known as one of the top rated lakes in Maine for its water purity and very unique sparse population as its the watershed for Ellsworth. Less than half the lakeshore is developed, especially the Southern end, making one feel wonderfully cutoff from civilization! Mainguy's is one of the nicest or best camps on Branch Lake for its location and amenities just off Route 1, center lake location, deep water frontage with a dive tower, small beach, lakeside fireplace and exceptional knotty pine interior with top of the line appliances, new beds, bar, stereo system, Wifi & 3 large LED TV's. The year round house/camp was totally gutted from top to bottom and remodeled IN 2015 and is just 40 feet from the waters edge. Ideally designed for families or 2 couples as there are 2 separate indoor entertainment areas. There is 1 ground floor bedroom with a queen, 2 bedrooms with full beds, 1 master king bedroom on the 3rd level which has a 1/2 bathroom, and a bunk bedroom along with a loft hosting a very plush full futon bed. The kitchen is completely remodeled with state of the art appliances, dual oven, 36 inch fridge with ice maker , dual gas stove and dishwasher along with a convection microwave oven. Hardwood flooring is laid throughout the 1st floor including the kitchen along with new wrap around quartz countertops. The house has all new linen and towels you will need along with all kitchen utensils and dishes. The ground floor has industrial carpeting as the sliding glass door exit finds you right near the sand beach and can handle the sandy traffic in and out. The hammock right near the dock is often fought over during the day or evening as a perch to watch the fire in the lakeside fireplace. Sunsets from the deck are magic! A very scenic 30 minute drive takes you into the famed Acadia National Park or towards Bucksport to start a must do memorable drive along the coastline down to Camden with all the roadside charm and antique shopping.
Below are two boat rental options that deliver pontoons right to the dock.

Summary: Spacious home with beautiful lake view and access. Fun for adults, children, and pets. Lots of restaurants and shopping all within a 30 to 60 minute drive. Communication with the hosts was never a problem. Very friendly and helpful.
Brad H. Sep 8, 2024 10:43:59 AM
Summary: This was an amazing location worth the drive.
Jane H. Aug 28, 2024 03:48:05 AM
Summary: I chose this house for our annual family vacation and it was as a big hit with everyone. We all like being on the water and having a good kitchen to prepare meals. It was a bonus to have watercraft and we used the kayaks and paddle board almost every day. The house is very well appointed so we didn’t have to run out for baggies, Kleenex or paper towels. We had everything we needed. A special treat, which I have not experienced in other rentals, was having no chores to do on departure day!
David H. Aug 14, 2024 02:43:04 AM
Summary: The location is wonderful! Right on a beautiful lake with westward views. The kids loved swimming and kayaking. Also close to Arcadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Perfect for a family vacation.

Summary: Awesome lakeside house with everything you need. Great access to Branch lake. Plenty of room for two families. We have stayed there back to back summers and had a fabulous time both years.
Lorie B. Jul 28, 2024 03:22:10 AM
Summary: This property has fun things to do for kids, adults and dogs of all ages. Water fun galore! Swimming, diving, paddling, canoeing, fishing, wading, sunbathing. Bring your boat and explore beautiful Branch Lake. House is well stocked and furnished.

Summary: Once again we had a spectacular vacation at this rental property. We have rented here for many years and each time we have had a the most enjoyable vacations ever. The property is immaculate when we arrive and the property owner is always eager to make sure our stay is everything we could need or want. The sandy beach lakefront is accessible to all ages. The dock is equipped with a dive platform that provides hours of endless fun for all. There are kayaks, a paddle board and a canoe to use for fishing or just exploring the lake. We especially look forward to watching the sunsets over the lake from the dock. The kitchen is fully equipped and the barbecue grill is great for outside cooking. We ate outside most nights at the picnic table that had ample seating for all 12 of us. There is also a table inside off the kitchen that doubled for us a lunch table and card table. Downstairs has another seating area and bar with easy access to the lake. Rain or shine this property affords magnificent views of Branch Lake and the surrounding mountains. The property is close enough to allow for day trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Ellsworth is very close and has many great restaurants and small shops. There is always something to do at this rental. We have stayed at many other Vrbo sites over the years and this property is by far the best! The owner is very easy to work with and always wants to ensure we have a great time. We highly recommend this property.

Summary: This property was everything we had hoped it would be and even better in person than as advertised. Our group consisted of adults & kids (7-11yr olds) and 2 fury friends. The backyard from the deck to the dock is where we spent most of our time, with the shallow water off the property edge an excellent spot for the kids to swim and adventure. The high jump off the dock was awesome as it's about 25-30' deep there. We also rented a boat from DownEast rentals who were great to deal with, provided a newer Pontoon for the week and the boat launch is directly across the lake (a kayak ride, or 30min car ride around the lake). We had a great week of fishing catching a ton of sunnies & bluegills, but also some awesome small mouth bass, lake trout and even an eel. Lastly, Peter and Jessica were great with communication throughout and helped answer any questions we had. Highly recommend for a nice R&R getaway!
Aubryn W. Jun 24, 2024 08:35:53 PM
Summary: We had a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful and the lake is gorgeous. We had a great time swimming, jumping off the dock, and taking out the kayaks. The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions we had. We hope to come back in the future!
Austin H. Sep 17, 2023 11:03:54 AM
Summary: We had a great stay at this house. It was clean and had everything we needed for a week at the lake. The house was well stocked with essentials and cook wear. Our family had a great time at the lake kayaking and paddle boarding. Only a 45 min drive to Acadia made it easy to hike in the morning and get to the lake by the afternoon. The owners were great with communication and extremely accommodating. We will definitely be back!
