Perfect Honeymoon
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 couldn’t be happier!

Lovely views!
The Cabin was clean and cozy for lounging. The porch area was our favorite place to relax. The views of George’s Pond were lovely, especially the sunsets! Bathroom was clean and roomy. Kitchen was stocked well for preparing meals. The grill was clean and we used it one night and it worked great. We were very happy the cabin had live TV and not just limited to streaming (which we don’t use). We like watching wildlife and we’re happy you had binoculars! We also loved canoeing around the lake. So pretty!! Our vehicle was luckily AWD which was good considering the incline of the parking area plus having a torrential rainstorm Sat night! Fortunately we did not lose power (flickered a bit) and no damage occurred to cabin or our vehicle. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and it was sad to leave. Our only negative experience was the mattress. It was extremely hard & uncomfortable. The middle area was sunken and annoying when trying to sleep. I suffer with spinal issues and it was impossible for me to sleep very well. We enjoyed our trip to beautiful Maine and hope to return again in the future. Thank you for sharing your cozy cabin.

25th Wedding Anniversary Vacation
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.

Georges Pond Getaway
My boyfriend and I spent five days at Don and Regina's camp in Franklin. The property was well maintained and in a beautiful location on pristine Georges Pond. The deck provided a beautiful view of the lake and a great spot for eating breakfast, bird watching, and yoga. We brought our beach chairs and set them up on the end of the dock so we could dip our toes in the water. The weather was great during our stay, with temperatures in the mid-80s. We took the kayaks around the lake and the water was warm enough to go for a swim. We couldn't believe how clear the water was! In the evenings we made use of the firepit and were able to stargaze and admire the Milky Way! We loved listening to the loons and the owls at night. I was also glad to have a reliable internet connection as I needed to bring my laptop to work during part of our stay. The screened-in porch overlooking the water was the perfect spot. We picked this location because of its proximity to Acadia National Park (only about 35-40 minutes away) and spent a few days traveling back and forth. We were close enough to the park but far enough away to avoid a lot of the other tourists. Ellsworth was the next closest town to Franklin where we found some great restaurants and grocery stores to meet our needs. We wish we had more time to stay and enjoy this wonderful property. Thank you Don and Regina for sharing it with us.

Perfect Get Away
If I could give this retreat another star I would! This was my wife and my 15 year anniversary get away. When we arrived it was lightly raining. This was a perfect setting as we walked straight down to the lake and enjoyed the sound of the soft patter on the water. The retreat was exactly as described, inside and out. We enjoyed canoeing, loon watching, kayaking and camp fires in the evening. We loved how we were close enough to the action, but far enough away that we could enjoy the tranquil bliss of nature. Our only complaint is that we could not stay longer. Thank you Don and Regina for hosting! You have a little slice of Heaven! We enjoyed our time there! Ryan and Giene

Our getaway
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 ❤️

Excellent stay
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.

Great stay at a wonderful cabin!
My husband and I truly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin was just perfect! The loons called to us everyday. We loved using the kayaks. We saw an eagle up close, on the far side of Murch Island, while kayaking around the island. We felt that the cabin location was perfect, not too far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, yet not too close to the crowds. We really enjoyed the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia as it was quite less crowded compared to the MDI section. The host of the cabin was kind and considerate. A nice person, for sure! We never wanted for anything. My husband and I highly recommend this rental property!
