Best time of year! Rare open nights-explore Acadia, Bar Harbor, Downeast Maine | House in Franklin, ME

4 Bedroom House with Air Conditioner, View and Oceanfront
Clean,comfy,well stocked-off beaten path but very close to lots of things—15 min to Ellsworth, Acadia National Park starts at the top of the street and you’re surrounded-it’s all over (it encompasses Mt Desert Island, Bar Harbor & Winter Harbor). About 20 min to Winter Harbor, Schoodic Point, Hancock Point, Lamoine, approx 20-25 min to Mt Desert Island & Visitor Ctr, another 10 min from beginning of island- all depending on traffic-to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain. So many places to stop along coast, tons of cute towns, art, antique shops along route 1...
This isn’t just a sterile rental setup quickly to bang out fast cash. It’s our family home so it’s furnished just the way we like it, we rent it so we can afford to pay the bills. It’s an old house, not a fancy house, but to me & most people a very cozy & magical house.
I want to reiterate that this is our house, it is old, it’s quirky, we LOVE it but it’s not perfect in every single way. If you’re looking for perfect or modern please go to the the Ritz Carlton where you can expect perfection & demand a refund if you aren’t getting it.
I’m not striving for perfection here, my goal is a cozy, comfy, peaceful escape from the world. The windows are old held open by old fashioned window sticks & I don’t want to update them for convenience. I love the old windows, etc. I have a few fans & now 2 new air conditioners to use if you wish but the house is not a brand new, fully air- conditioned, modern house with every modern convenience. For me it’s about nature, simplicity, peace & quiet. It’s about a different way of life. It’s not the touristy trap of Bar Harbor. It’s the real down east Maine and Iove it! If that’s what you’re looking for then you’ve found it.
However, the kitchen is fully stocked & very easy to cook in, there’s a microwave, toaster, blender, pretty much every appliance. Smart TVs upstairs & down. The kitchen & baths are updated & all appliances are new. Beds & bedding are new, clean & comfy.
*PETS* i don’t particularly want dogs in the house -as the homeowner as it’s more wear an tear & extra cleaning, BUT I understand that we love our pet children & want them with us on vacation. There is an additional pet fee because I like to keep the house extremely clean & it takes my housecleaner a couple of more hours to clean after dogs have come. A few people have snuck in dogs & then I need to spend extra hours & money on cleaning which is not fair. I’ll send you double the cleaning bill if you choose to sneak your dog in without registering them & paying the pet fee which helps pay the cleaning bill & is also necessary for the insurance policy if your dog happens to destroy something. Please reg your pet & pay in advance. 🙏🏻 Or use zelle or PayPal if you wish to avoid Vrbo taxes and fees.
Please don’t steal-Most people have been lovely but a few people think it’s OK to take whatever they want-those people were charged and the police were called. Please don’t do that. This is my home & I’m trying to make it nice for you. Im renting it out so my kids & I have the opportunity to keep my great-grandmother‘s house in the family. Please be gentle & thoughtful & be a good person.
* Please note there are 2 sets of stairs. Please only use the main stair case. Back stairs are for emergencies only -such as a fire *
Thanks for agreeing to these basic rules.
