The Ellsworth house was fully equipped (except for a flashlight) with everything we needed/wanted during our stay. The lake location is beautiful, and having canoe and kayaks on hand was just great. Everything we wanted to see was about an hour drive (Bar Harbor, Acadia, Deer Isle, Schoodic Peninsula) - a little far, but not too bad. We had a close encounter with Hurricane Lee, and that was close enough. No power or water for a day and night, but all in all not too bad. Our family loved it there.
