Other things to note Thank you so much for booking with us at The Tin House on Somerset #4, we look forward to hosting you. Baxter State Park, Mt. Katahdin and the great outdoors! Our places are for those laid back outdoorsy guests who are not looking for the Ritz-Carlton, cause this ain’t it. However, if you are looking for a safe, clean and we hope, comfortable place to stay at a fair price we are for you. We have good beds, TVs, kitchen basics, etc. after a long day's hike or just enjoying the wonderful outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We bought five properties in Millinocket in 2021-2022 and have been working hard on redoing the inside of the units. Each of these properties is over a 100 years old. Older homes like ours and others in the area are not perfect, they have their quirks and flaws, so if you are the kind of person that can respect the age of the properties and everything that goes along with them we would love to have you as our guest. We thoroughly clean after each guest, however, for individuals highly sensitive to smells this may not be the ideal place since older homes may have an old woodsy smell, like an old wooden church. We do not want to overwhelm our guests with the smell of cleaning products and/or air fresheners and try to use fragrance free items where we can so we have chosen to put air purifiers in our units to help with the old smell of a 100 year old home. We know the outside of each of the properties needs updating, as most houses do in our quaint little town. This is an ongoing process for us as we are not only trying to make our properties better but also to improve our entire community. As we make updates both inside and out, we post pictures on updates as we can so you can make an informed decision. Millinocket is a very small town (population about 4,200) and is known for its outdoor activities: hiking, fishing, etc., however, the town itself there is not too much else to do in this small town and most things are closed by 8 pm. There is a McDonald’s, Subway, and a few locally owned restaurants that we love to frequent regularly, however, most restaurants are not open in the winter, always call before going just to make sure. There is not a night life since things close early, the streets usually roll up about 8 pm. So according to some former guests, as you can read in reviews, they think that Millinocket is a very bland area, we don’t agree, we love it here. If you are looking for big city action to dance the night away or to dine at Michelin chef gourmet restaurants, Millinocket is not for you. We would recommend New York City for those types of people. Your unit is on the top floor and there is an Airbnb unit below yours, we do like to make guests aware that you may hear the guest(s) (TV, walking, etc.). Please note that the parks book up early so make sure to make your reservations. We also ask that you please read all our notes carefully, we work diligently to make sure all of our units are accurately detailed and the photos are kept updated, so on every level your expectations are met and hopefully exceed. We want you to love Millinocket and our places as much as we do. We want five star reviews and we want you to make an informed decision, so again please read the detailed descriptions of each of our places before booking and reach out at any time if there are questions about anything. We will be reaching out right before your check-in date with more detailed information, but we do like to make sure all our guests are well informed about our units. Thank you, looking forward to having you as our guest. Terry and Nicole
