Nestled in the trees near the edge of a quiet spring-fed lake, the cottage affords privacy, coolness, and beautiful views. It is located 30 minutes from Ellsworth, with its many stores, which serves as the gateway to Acadia National Park, and is within easy driving distance of 'the real DownEast' and even Canadian attractions. One hour from Bangor.
The camp is about 30 feet from the lake. There is also a second building which functions as a workshop and storage area for water and fishing equipment, and also has a clothes dryer but no washer due to plumbing restrictions. There are 2 laundromats in Ellsworth.
There is a dock, and 4 kayaks (1 dbl., 3 sgl). Molasses Pond is a clear, calm lake and is 2 miles long and spring fed. Excellent swimming from the dock, and there is a sandy public beach at the head of the lake.
Access from the driveway is by means of a long ramp and 7 stairs. Pets require a $50 cleaning fee.
The 2 bedrooms have double beds supplemented by six (6) single beds on the 2nd floor. The rear windows in the loft has an air conditioner. A heat pump/air conditioner is mounted on the living room wall and has a remote control for setting the respective hot and cold temperatures.
