Our family has stayed at The Winkumpaugh Getaway every year, and it has become a very special place for us. Our kids have made so many wonderful memories here, and we always look forward to returning.
The house is spacious, clean, comfortable, and well equipped, with plenty of room for the whole family to relax. Having a dishwasher and washing machine is a must for a family vacation, and both make longer stays so much easier. The well-stocked kitchen even includes lobster pots, perfect for preparing a home-cooked Maine lobster dinner.
We especially love the peaceful wooded setting, screened deck, fire pit, and Ping-Pong table. Our kids also enjoy the nostalgia of choosing DVDs and VHS tapes for family movie nights. With no Wi-Fi, it's a wonderful opportunity to get our teens off their phones and spend genuine quality time together as a family.
The house feels quiet and secluded while still being conveniently located—about 15–20 minutes from Ellsworth and approximately 45 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Our favorite swimming spot is Branch Lake, which is also just a quick 15-minute drive away.
The home has lots of charm and truly feels like a cozy Maine getaway. We're grateful for all the memories our family has made here and hope to keep returning for many years.
