The host was first rate with communication all through the process and was seamless. The decor of the cabin is just darling!! The nature was spectacular and the water gorgeous! Our first night we saw a swimming bald eagle, and the call of the loons were spectacular every morning! The only recommendations I have is a new bed mattress and kayaks that are in the water when you arrive with updated dated paddles. The kayaks were a bit heavy to put in the water from the rack.
A perfect cabin on Georgeâs Pond was just the getaway we needed. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to Acadia where we spent many of our days. Communication with the owners was clear, fast, and friendly. Would love to stay here again.
The pictures do not do this place justice. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful view of Georges Pond and not a bad drive to Acadia and shopping in Ellsworth. We will definitely be returning.
Property was as advertised. Stay was pleasant, hosts were great - close by in case of issues - but none to speak of. Cabin getaway was exactly what we needed and the property was beautiful and serene. Cabin was clean and tidy which is a huge deal for my clean freak (in a good way) partner! This place is on our list if we return to Maine!
Bald eagles, osprey, and loons, oh my! What a lovely place to unwind. All the creature comforts were provided and the check-in/out was easy breezy. It was just as a vacation should beâcomfortable, cozy, and what a view!
Close to ATV trails sunrise Trail. Was rainy and foggy most of the week but we made the best of it. Turned sunny last two days. Lake is clear and beautiful. Great fishing. Don and Regina are awesome host!
This cabin had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Nearby Ellsworth has stores for necessities and a variety of great restaurants. We drove to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and other points just south via an easy drive. Comfortable furnishings, well appointed kitchen, and kayaks, along with our own fishing dock. This place was better than any resort! Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay at the camp. It was nice going down on the dock evenings relaxing and doing some fishing off the dock. We recommend any couple that would like a nice place to just kick back and relax to visit this camp. The only small complaint i have in early morning next door there was a yapping dog for about two or three hours every morning
We absolutely loved the cabin. The description is accurate. We were very comfortable. Communication with the host was great. I would definitely recommend this cabin.
The camp was clean, cozy and comfortable. It had all the amenities you would need. A great view of the water and located near many outdoor activities. My daughter loved fishing off the dock and going kayaking. The water was crystal clear for swimming as well. Overall an extremely relaxing stay! The owners were very good at communication and even got us in early the day of check in. A+ experience!!
Everything was clean, cozy, and as described. Lake view was amazing and a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We spent five nights here and I couldnât be happier!
My wife and I had an awesome week at the cabin. A cozy, clean cabin on the water was just what we needed. We loved paddling and fishing especially after dinner. Thank you so much to the hosts !!
We had a great time watching a loon family of 3 that always seemed to be right out front. Their song is beautiful and very soothing. Cabin had all we needed and more. Owner was very helpful and friendly
This cabin, was truly a piece of heaven. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is it! We enjoyed sitting on the deck, paddling around Murch Island. We were fortunate enough to see 2 eagles and a family of Loons, that we could hear even throughout the night. This was a very enjoyable and comfortable place to enjoy our week!
Thank you, for everything â€ïž
The cabin is in a beautiful, relaxing setting. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. Best kitchen in any rental we've been in to date. We saw lots of wildlife: chipmunks, otters, eagles, loons, and ducks. My husband fished twice a day. We stayed for two weeks. It was a most relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again.
Lovely cabin fully equipped. Easy access from Ellsworth. Cabin sits right on Georges Pond. Fast dependable internet. Had a storm that fried the modem and tower. The owners were quick to respond and had new equipment installed the next day, Owners are lovely friendly couple. I would stay again at this property. Would recommend this to friends and family.
Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary was important to us in more ways than one. This was our first vacation alone in the 27 years we have been together. We were in search of something special and found it in Franklin Maine. The cottage was the perfect setting for a week of relaxing and reconnecting. The owners were very accommodating and welcoming. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to spend our week. We are already planning for next year.
The cabin was great for us. Loved being on the water and seating on the deck. The kayaks were fun. Paddled around the pond which where we live would be called a lake. Georges Pond is beautiful. Saw an eagle and loons. Very quiet. Not too many people on the pond.
The cabin had everything we needed.
Thanks to the owners for sharing their oasis.
The photos depicted the property perfectly. It felt like we were staying a a "Maine Cabin Masters" home. We enhoyed the quiet of the neighborhood. Watched loons and ducks, and an occasional turtle. The screened in porch was our favorite place to view the pond. We used the canoe and had a wonderful time. We liked the location as it was easy to get to Bar Habor and Ellsworth. We would recommended this location to pur friends amd family. We were very surprised about the access to high speed internet services that could easily accommodate remote workers.
We are a retired couple who have lived in the area for 23 years. We live 4 miles from this property and have spent several months performing a complete renovation and finishing of the property in 2020-21 We have tried to set things up for an active lifestyle oriented experience.
