Falls Farmstead 1854 Quinn Cottage Comfy Home Base for Exploring Downeast Maine

This is one of the most fully, and thoughtfully, equipped places we’ve stayed. Comfortable beds, plenty of linens, ample closet and dresser space, lap robes in the living room, even tape dispensers at both writing desks. A really delightful place. The nearby walking/running path was a real added benefit.

Enjoyed our stay at this historic house. Clean, comfortable, well equipped and relaxing for an entire week. Loved the Ellsworth area and easy access to Acadia area.

4 of us stayed for 3 weeks. The home was well stocked with practically everything you could imagine needing. The house was very clean. We baked, we cooked....the kitchen was great for us. We went somewhere every day....close enough to plenty of places to enjoy. We had an issue with the lock on our first day and got immediate response to solve it. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location.

Our hostess Denise made our stay very comfortable. She was very kind and responsive. The house is super cute. We loved the ducks in the backyard! The house came with a well equipped kitchen including pancake mix and maple syrup! It was quite roomy for our family including adult children. The furniture (beds, couches and easy chairs) were very comfortable. The house is located just moments from Ellsworth and an easy drive (30-40 mins) to many of our favorite coastal destinations including: Deer Isle, Stonington, Schoodic Point, Winter Harbor, and all of Mount Desert Island including Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The house is charming and decorated nicely with beautiful original art. We all agreed we would gladly stay here again!

This rental provided a great home base for our sisters/cousins trip to Maine. It had everything we needed and more, was extraordinarily clean, and truly felt like home for the week. We drove to Acadia nearly every day and enjoyed the scenic drive. Ellsworth is charming and has great restaurants, without the crowds of Bar Harbor.

Beautiful old house, in great condition. Property was beautiful as well! Only issues was the property was to be pet friendly, but upon arrival and reading the notes they have dogs as well. Theses dogs have the run of the property, maybe let future guests know up front about the two dogs!

This is our second time staying in one of Denise's properties. The home was large, impeccably clean, and was well stocked with all basic amenities. The original staircase and woodwork were absolutely gorgeous. There were plenty of quality towels and blankets to use during our stay. The coffee maker stopped working, and Denise had a brand new one basically on our doorstep within hours. Communication with her was great. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia, Lamoine, and other parts of Mt. Desert Island. You are minutes from grocery stores, gas stations, LL Bean, and the famous Reny's. We bought lobsters and chowder from Dorrs, which is only 2 minutes away, and cooked them at the house (which had ALL the pots and supplies needed). We would recommend visiting the crystal clear Branch Lake (arrive early) and Lamoine Beach. Overall, this house was great and we were so happy there during our 10 days in Maine. We will always stay in Denise's properties when returning!

We really enjoyed our stay in Ellsworth - this location was close to the park and the pictures listed of the property do not do justice to the size of the place. It was clean and check-in was easy. We especially liked the kitchen and all its amenities. Two thumbs up from my family - we will be back!

We had a wonderful time. Comfortable, clean, and convenient lodging.

The home was perfect for my 2 kids, husband and parents. Denise left very detailed directions on how to leave the house, things to see and do recommendations of places to get seafood. We have rented homes for almost ten years and we throughly enjoyed the house and time in Maine. I would strongly recommend this property for your stay near Acadia!
