Log style cabin right on the shores of beautiful Georges Pond in Franklin Maine. Newly finished sun room interior and upgraded kitchen this year including dishwasher, new microwave and granite countertops. Close to town and shopping in Ellsworth. Easy access via a town paved road. Directly on an ATV access route to ATS and Down East Sunrise Trails. 31 miles to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park with its wonderful hiking/biking trails, whale watches and multiple amenities. Many state maintained hiking and mountain climbing trails off RT 182 within 10 miles of camp. This camp offers 2 kayaks and life jackets for the guests as well as a 16 ft canoe. New dock and deck installed spring of 2021. Georges Pond is one of the most popular fishing destinations in downeast, Maine. Fishing rods and small tackle box are provided for our guests. One mile to a public boat launch. We have designated the power to the camp to be provided by Maine Community Solar Power Grid. All handsoap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner provided by Ginger Lily Farms Botanicals. Newly added bedroom and attached bath with washer and dryer. Enjoy a Bar-B-Que on the back deck or maybe that "must do" lobster bake. Enjoy the evening around the fire pit or hang your feet off the dock. Don't forget to include trips to Acadia National Park and the parks Schoodic section which is one of Maines hidden gems. Hike the many close by trails and mountains. A little fishing would also add to your relaxation. At night listen to the Loons call to one another.

This cabin served as a perfect getaway for my wife and I. We spent our mornings in Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor and came back in the afternoon to relax and enjoyed the lake. The fire pit is a nice touch for the evenings and we found everything we needed inside the cabin.

My sister and I were on a "memory" tour from times during our childhood when we were staying in Dover-Foxcroft. Our tour was made even more special by staying in this cabin! It was centrally located to everywhere we wanted to be and a great home base. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Sunsets were spectacular! We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves visiting this part of Maine again!

Perfect location… water view from screened porch. Cleanliness outstanding. Owners immediately went out if their way to bring down a phone charger to replace one forgotten at home… so thoughtful. Loons were omnipresent. Kayaks were fun… lake was calm… really enjoyed them.

Cute cabin with a fantastic view. It's close to Acadia National Park as well as many hiking trails. We enjoyed watching and listening to the loons and bald eagles while sitting on the deck. We're so glad we chose this cabin!

Sweetest Couples Cabin

This cabin is the PERFECT place for a couple to escape from everyday life and ACTUALLY RELAX! It provides the seclusion and comfort needed to have the well deserved vacation we all crave. It is close enough to the coast and Acadia Park that you can make day trips, and come home to enjoy each other. It's large enough to bring preteens, butttt... make this destination just for yourselves!! Don't forget to get cheesecake from MoMo's to bring home and enjoy together!
