About this property

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.
Safe travels

The property was as described, as it was far away from the main road so not to have any road noise. The best thing was being able to spread out after being on the road and that there was a great place to eat close by. The only thing I would have wanted was an on site laundry but I found a nice one in town.

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.

The property was exactly as described in the VRBO directory. Steve, our host, was quick to respond to the few questions we had. Everything functioned properly. The disappointment we experienced was not with the property, but with the National Park Service. Acadia National Park and its unique features was over-utilized and seriously overcrowded. This is no different than other National Parks we have recently visited. We had a better time visiting the western side of Mt. Desert Island! The city of Bar Harbor did not want exploring tourists, they just wanted your money! 4 an hour for on-street parking? 40 for a single lobster roll at the local eateries? Ridiculous!

Quiet hideaway

We very much enjoyed our stay; basic, clean, great host, near to Acadia National Park, the Maine Coast as well as Bangor. Ellsworth is a neat small town with lots of local non- franchise eateries, LL Bean outlet and even a Wally World (Wal Mart). We would stay there again.

Clean easy to access. Only wished it had the washer/dryer accessible. And the 2 bath needs a new shower head. The one on it is cracked spraying water on ceiling and pressure wasn’t good . Over all experience it was good

Beautiful place

Just want to thank Steve for a great stay. The house was neat and clean and the beds were so comfortable. Very quiet and the deck was great for drinking coffee in the morning. We came to Maine for a wedding in Acadia park. What a beautiful place. Saw a lot of sites like bar harbor, rockland breaker light house and bass harbor lighthouse. Our favorite place was the Fort Knox observatory in bucksport. Only bridge observatory in the western hemisphere. 4th in the world only two remain open and Fort Knox is one of them. Taller than the Statue of Liberty. The views were breathtaking. Ate at a lot of restaurants. Loved Josie’s cafe at the bottom of the hill from the house, Archie’s lobster, thirsty whale and Testas in bar harbor, and sea dog brewery in Camden. We did alot in five days but it was worth it. Thanks again and would love to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Steven Linscott 217-494-0235

Host profile image
I'm a retired psychotherapist, and college professor. I've written two books, one, since retiring, and enjoy travel with my wife and family. My brother and I remodeled the home you are staying in. It has an open floor plan, new flooring and walls, new furniture. I know you will be comfortable and enjoy your adventure from this location.

Why they chose this property

It is close to Acadia, yet far enough away to afford a quiet stay, and enjoy the Maine I remember, with the air filtered by the pines. Don't hesitate if you have time to turn right from Hillside Drive, instead of Left to Acadia, to go to Blue Hill and places to the coast in that direction. It is worth experiencing. This property is centrally located to all of the coastal area in mid-state.

What makes this property unique

We built an exceptionally large deck so that you can relax and enjoy time together.
