Book a hotel near Schoodic Mountain, Franklin

" We booked a week at Ponds Edge over the 4th of July for our elopement. We couldnt have wished for a more perfect week. From the location, the home, the pond, the view, the weather, Nicole (the homeowner), the local businesses, the neighbors, everything was absolute perfection. You wake up and at the foot of your bed is the private entrance to the pond without a neighbor in sight. Turn to the right and your facing a gorgeous unobstructed view of a mountain. The home comes with everything you could need and Nicole had great local recommendations. We celebrated our elopement right on the dock. Our photographer couldnt stop commenting on what a perfect spot it was. Nicole recommended Schoodic in Bloom for my flowers and I am so happy she did! Pam truly outdid herself with my florals. We took the short drive to Schoodic for photos at The Point. Throughout our vacation we visited Schoodic, Acadia & all of MDI, Ellsworth, and many more local towns. We rented a canoe fom Waters Edge Canoe Rentals (great business out of Franklin) and took it out to watch the fireworks. It felt like our own private show on the water! We made fires, had smores, chartered a sailboat, climbed a mountain...it was the most perfect & special vacation of our lives. We cant wait to come back and celebrate for years to come! "

"This quaint stay was everything we needed for our trip to MDI. Becka was a wonderful host (as was her angelic dog, Cayenne), and we loved the rustic setting. The rental was well and thoughtfully stocked. The outdoor shower was so enjoyable, serenaded by the nearby apiary. Even the early bird rooster made us laugh. Would happily stay again."

"Our family enjoyed this private cottage on the lake. There was plenty of room for the five of us. The back deck was especially enjoyable."

"We had a fabulous experience! The cabin was as advertised and a perfect location for a family get away! We loved the property and proximity to the water. My kiddos enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat. We especially enjoyed s’mores around the fire. The remote location was peaceful and restful, but close enough to Acadia and all it has to offer. A perfect family retreat! Just what we needed as a family to kick off summer 2025!"

"Cozy while having all needed amenities. Scenic 40 min drive to Acadia which was perfect for the price range. Becka is an attentive, responsive, and gracious host. Would stay again next time up here and would recommend to others!"

"Actually writing this review whilst sitting in the screened in porch on a cool and rainy May morning. We chose this house as a base for our long weekend explorations of Acadia and the surrounding area. What we didn’t realize was that the house is a destination in itself. We had a group of 8 (parents and six adult kids) and there was plenty of room for everyone. Room to gather and room to spread out. The thoughtful touches were endless. Every day we noticed something else. Rooms were comfortable and spacious, bathrooms were huge and the kitchen was stocked like we were in a cooking show. Top shelf everything…no shortcuts when they put this home together. The lake out back was peaceful. Too early in the season for a boat rental but that would have been incredible. The porches overlooking the yard and water were comfortable and a frequent favorite. We had a couple of minor things pop up and they were addressed immediately. Communication was easy and we felt well taken care of. The house was immaculate and if there was a way to give 12 or 15 points it would certainly be worthy. This house was perfect for what we needed and we highly recommend it. Absolutely 10/10!!"
