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.
