Great property with private beach
This is a wonderful property just a few steps from the beach. Ellen, the owner is wonderful and always available to answer any questions. We found the place in perfect condition and with everything that a family might need in a house. Highly recommend this place.

A wonderful way to experience coastal Maine!
We selected Sunset Ledge because of the rave reviews - and they were all true! We needed a house that was comfortable fo c r someone with chronic back issues ( hello, two recliners!) and also offered things to do for the kids. The open floor plan was so accommodating and the house was immaculate. We rented a kayak for the wee v k and enjoyed the water- we even took our paddle board out on a calm morning! And we saw a seal in our back ocean-yard! Schoodic and Acadia MDI are both breathtaking and an easy 40-45 minutes away, and the Super-Walmart is less than 20 minutes for provisioning. The kitchen was so well-stocked that cooking at home was a joy. The host was very thoughtful and responded so quickly to all of our questions - even for a perfect local restaurant for lobster and non-lobster eaters (Ruth and Wimpy’s). All in all, it was the perfect vacation spot!

A lovely place
The house is wonderful, is fully stocked, the host is gracious and very responsive, the backyard has a private beach, and the sunsets are out of the world. What more can one ask for? This is a perfect vacation away from home house. Only a very small caution, and that is purely for people looking to spend daily time at Acadia national park - The property is located 30 min from Schoodic point part of Acadia and 45 min from Bar Harbor side of Acadia. We did not have issues driving there at all but something to keep in mind.

Maine Stay
The pictures do not do it justice. What a beautiful and welcoming home. Extremely clean. Ellen and Ryan thought of everything. The little touches make you feel so 'at home'. I don't think I have ever experienced such a well stocked kitchen! Everything you need to cook, bake, and steam seafood is there. The shoreline and tides are great to explore. One day we simply vegged out and explored the cable channels. It was so relaxing. Initially we had planned on a family visit but unfortunately they got stuck at an airport in another state and were not able to join us. But we made the best of it, exploring the many pamphlets Ellen has available so you can see what's around the area to see - Acadia Nat'l Park, Schoodic Point, town of Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, museums, and a great little restaurant about 10 minutes away called Ruth & Wimpys, has wonderful seafood. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Ellen & Ryan!

About the host

Hosted by Owner & Property Manager

Host profile image
We, Ryan and Ellen Sprague, built this beautiful home on Ledge Lane in 2011. We started clearing the land in 2010, and by May of 2011 we had blasted the ledge and poured concrete. Our builder Brad Hamor, started building our 30x50 ranch styled house the first of July. Four months later, the house was complete, the septic system was finished after that and we moved in on Thanksgiving day in 2011. We were so pleased it took such a short time. We hope you enjoy our dream home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is for you because it is private and secluded, but only 15-20 miles from Bar Harbor, Schoodic Point, Downtown Ellsworth Shopping, and even closer to many great places to eat.

At Sunset Ledge, you can bike, hike, and kayak at any time. Lounging at the private beach, sitting at the patio, grilling on the porch, whatever you wish, it is possible.

What makes this property unique

At Sunset Ledge you have your own private driveway to walk, run, or ride your bike on. There is a beautiful grassy path to the shore, where you can sit on the ledge or lay on the beach. It is easy to launch your kayak from and you have the whole Skilling's River to explore.
