About Ellen's Acres
Ellen's Acres is an adventure comedy about a 5-year-old girl named Ellen, her feather duster, her radial tire, the hotel she owns and her amazing adventures. Actually, the hotel belongs to her parents, but the amazing adventures part is totally true. There's not a lot to do and there aren't too many kids Ellen's age at Emerald Acres Hotel, 39 miles outside Tonapah, Nevada. Ellen's companions are her parents, the folks that work at the hotel and the guests. But Ellen's got a big imagination. Actually, it's totally enormous!
