The Jarvis Homestead
Estate / Private Home in Ellsworth, Maine.
Estate / Private HomeHistoric / Museum
A house in Ellsworth rented for small weddings, twenty minutes from Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia. It is genuinely small and completely upfront about it, which makes it easy to rule in or out quickly.
The property allows a **maximum of 25 guests**, with accommodation for 22 of them, and it is booked as a three-day stay rather than a day rate. If your list is longer than 25 this is not your venue, and the owners say so plainly rather than letting you find out later. For an elopement or a small family wedding near Acadia — where lodging is the hardest problem in the region — having the house and the ceremony in one booking solves several things at once. There is an event fee on top of the stay, which they explain openly.

A dash means the venue doesn't publish that number and we haven't confirmed it. Seated-with-dancing is usually well below the plain seated figure — it's the number worth asking about.
