Forest Views | Private Hot Tub | Alder Treehouse

Set high among the trees, The Alder is a small, quiet treehouse built for two. Styled like a classic Maine camp with modern comfort and clean design, it has a single sleeping space and three decks that step gently into the canopy — one holding a private hot tub set back among the trees. A smokeless fire pit and the quiet of the forest are just outside. Elevated and tucked away, yet close to Ellsworth, Acadia National Park, and the surrounding Downeast.

HOT TUB GUIDELINES
• Please shower before using the hot tub.
• No glass or breakables in or near the tub.
• Cover the tub when not in use to retain heat and keep out debris.
• Children must be supervised in or around the hot tub at all times.
• Use care when entering and exiting; surfaces may be slippery.

FIREWOOD & FIRE PITS
• Shorter logs are for indoor wood stoves (seasonal use).
• Longer logs are for outdoor fire pits.
• Fire-starting materials and instructions are provided.

You MUST open a window before lighting a fire indoors. A fire extinguisher is located in the kitchen area.

Observe any posted local burn restrictions.

QUIET HOURS
Quiet begins at 10:00 PM to preserve the stillness of the woods and the comfort of all guests.

TOWELS & BEDDING
Extra towels are provided in the bedroom closet.

CHILDREN & FAMILIES
Families are welcome. Please bring your own portable crib or pack-and-play, as we do not provide these due to insurance reasons.

SMOKING
Smoking is permitted outdoors only. Please dispose of materials safely.

Smoking or vaping inside any cabin or treehouse is not permitted.

If indoor smoking or vaping results in odor, residue, or damage, guests are responsible for the actual cost of cleaning, deodorizing, repair, or replacement, plus a 10% administrative fee. If remediation requires the unit to be taken offline, documented lost revenue may also be charged.

PETS
Select units welcome well-behaved dogs. Dogs must be leashed outdoors and may not use beds or upholstered furniture. We are happy to provide a dog bed upon request.

By paying the pet fee, you also agree that dogs will not be on beds or upholstered furniture. If evidence shows a dog has been on beds or furniture (including excessive hair, stains, or odor), a $120 additional cleaning fee will be charged. If remediation exceeds $120, guests remain responsible for the documented actual cost.

EXTRA CLEANING
Guests are expected to leave the kitchen, grill, cookware, and premises in reasonable condition.

If extraordinary cleaning is required beyond standard turnover — including excessive food waste, heavily soiled cookware, or misuse of the grill — an additional charge of up to $150 may apply. If costs exceed $150, guests are responsible for the documented actual cost.

FIRE SAFETY & EMERGENCIES
A fire extinguisher and first aid kit are provided in each unit.
For emergencies, dial 911 and provide the property address listed in your arrival information.
