Serenity place. Relax in a semi rural setting 18 mile from Acadia National Park

Open floor plan, updated, with new floor and trim, new comfortable furniture, gorgeous view. Accomodates four with two bedrooms (1 Queen, 2 twins). Full deck in front and small deck in back. Everything is new. It is in a wooded private location tucked just off a residential area, just a 1/2 mile from beautiful downtown Ellsworth, and just 18 miles from Acadia National Park. There are many vacation destinations nearby. You will have the run of the house. Come and enjoy. This is double wide trailer, about ten years old, but now completely renovated.

The full-size kitchen is fully stocked with eating and cooking utensils. It does not have specialty items such as a double boiler, but it has plenty of basics. We have a coffee maker for pots of coffee and k-cups. [Bring your own coffee]. We have A/C in the main room and fans in the bedroom. Bring or buy bottled water. The well water is potable, but well water does not agree with water your used to in other regions sometimes. The gas fireplace is non-functional for safety and cost issues. The enclosed deck is bi-level and large with chairs and tables. The abundant wildlife, dear, fox, turkeys, etc. are at no extra charge. Enjoy Maine.

Before departing, please:
1. Wash up dishes
2. Place trash in white bags, and place white bags in the trash receptical on the back deck inside the large black bag.
3. Sweep the floor.
4. Placed used towels and sheets in a pile on the bedroom floor. (The floor is vinyl so damp towels wont hurt the floor)
5. Check to see nothing was left.
6. Let me know of any problems.

Clean and quiet. Nicely decorated. Ample hot water; good pressure. However, the very soft foam mattress in the main bedroom is not for everyone. Would still recommend.

Nice and quiet

We stayed here while visiting Acadia for a few days. House was very clean and furnishings were all modern. Complete, clean kitchen. Surroundings were quiet. Located very convenient to the town of Ellsworth; town was just a few minutes away. We were able to go to Acadia all day and this was a nice home base to return to. Internet and TV worked perfectly, ideal for chilling out after a full day of hiking. Would stay here again or recommend to a friend.
