Hidden retreat right next door

Small private efficiency. It's a 10×14 ft room. Full private bath. Private entrance. Its part of main house but seperate. Located on Route 1 just outside of Ellsworth. Quiet property. Large yard. Picnic table. Half an hour from Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor. Half an hour from Bucksport. Half an hour from Castine. 20 minutes from Blue Hill. 40 minutes from Winter Harbor. Half hour from Bangor. And located in a rural spot just outside of Ellsworth. Private room with private bathroom and all the amenities that you would need. Also if you come after Dark, the driveway is hard to see. look for bright orange triangle reflectors because I have them at the bottom of the driveway and on the mailbox. Please let me know if you will be here after dark so that I can turn the lights on for you in your room!

Wendy's place was lovely to stay at. Close to Acadia with local food and bakery that is delicious. We fell inlove with the charm of the location with wonderful painting and cute decor. The communication was quick and check in and out was smooth!

Small but quaint

Room is not large but great if you just need to crash at nights. Host had treats waiting for us. We are two larger people so the bed was a little small but we survived. Only place to relax is the bed or two wooden chairs at the table.

Cute Little Place

The Hidden Retreat was the perfect place to stay! It was just me and my husband, and Wendy has made it very comfortable. The area is quiet and relaxing, perfect for after spending a day at Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park. She was a great host and had all the amenities you would need. I would highly recommend a stay at Hidden Retreat!

An amazing little gateway apartment! My partner and I had an amazing time while there. Wendy is great and super sweet… also an amazing artist! It was clean, quiet, and easy to navigate. Close enough to Ellsworth and bar harbor but far enough away you don’t have too much traffic to worry about.

Very Nice

My stay here was wonderful. The room was the perfect for me, but could have easily accommodated a second person. The area is quiet, clean, and safe. The drive to the southern part of Acadia National Park took about thirty-five to forty minutes...not bad at all in my mind. I will definitely stay here again when I am back that way.

Disliked: Cleanliness

We did not stay in this hellhole.

The property owner was clear about finding this place. It was almost impossible to find, even in the daytime. And then once we found it, I was angered beyond belief. It was tiny, it was dirty, and I am still angry after a week. The appliances looked like they'd never been cleaned. I didn't inspect the "bathroom". I knew I would never relieve my bowels in it. The shower stall, well, NO and NO and NO. We had to hurriedly find another place to stay in a sold-out town. You should know that VRBO, if it has ever inspected this place, is horribly at fault.

Wonderful little property. If you’re wanting something out of the way but still close by to Acadia, this is the place! Avoids the crowds, but definitely be prepared for the drive in (about 45 minutes with traffic). Wendy was a great host, we really enjoyed everything.

Everything I needed in a small package

Everything went very smoothly. It started with checking in. Wendy Jo went out of her way to let me check in before the usual check in time so I could spend most of the day in Acadia. The room had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable and the pillows (nice and firm) were the best I have had at any rental (including hotels) that I can recall. The rental was convenient to Ellsworth and Acadia and an easy day trip to Campobello with a very pleasant drive. It all resulted in a very pleasant weekend.

Wendy was a super host! She was quick to answer any questions I sent her way. If I could rate her Hidden Retreat higher than 100% I would. I stayed there for a 11 nights, and that was some of the best sleep I've had in a long time. I really liked how clean the room was upon checking in. Take my word, you will enjoy this little retreat.
