Historic , cozy 2 bedroom original cabin at the waters edge in Franklin ME

This place was beautiful. An amazing sunset over the lake greeted us as we arrived late Friday. My daughter, niece and nephew immediately went to the dock on the property and started fishing while I unpacked the car. There is a separate area for a campfire which we relaxed at to make s'mores. The next morning the kids fished and I kayaked before we left for Bar Harbor and Acadia. We made it back to the lake cabin to cook dinner, fish and kayak some more and relax. We had our own bathroom cabin steps from the main cabin with a toilet stall, shower stall and sink. It offered privacy and gave a country home feeling. We left the next morning and it was bittersweet. My gripe to myself was that our stay was too short. I absolutely want to come back to this same place, make more memories and stay longer next time. Very relaxing, homey, quiet and felt private while being surrounded by nature. Barbara thoughtfully left us a package of whoopie pies and really made this cabin feel comfortable for us. We all loved this experience, amenities and it was plenty of space for us. Thank you so much!

Everything couldn't have been more perfect! The host was outstanding-- she even started a fire in the wood stove for us so that the cabin would be toasty when we arrived after a day of hiking in Acadia. The place itself is exactly as described and if anything even nicer. I wish I could live there! The lake was gorgeous, the beds comfortable and the stars were amazing. Can't wait to go back!

Cabin was very comfy with everything there that was advertised as being there! Water, wood for the fire, towels, sheets. HOT shower, woo!

It was very clean. No potable water and had to go outside to use the toilet. Only heat was electric heaters and a woodstove. I did not understand it would be that way. I would not go back.

I was a little shocked that there was no potable water and that the bathroom was outside

The cabin was absolutely adorable! We loved it. The views and location were absolutely stunning and so very peaceful, exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The host left us the cutest card with all the ins and out of the cabin as well as there cell if we needed anything. 10/10 recommend!

Excellent property in a beautiful area right on the lake. It’s perfect for a getaway up north.

This cabin was exactly what we were hoping for. The property was a quick 30 minute drive to Acadia. The nights were cool but the space heaters kept us perfectly warm. The bathhouse was directly outside the camp and had another heater. There were thoughtful touches everywhere, from the glass container with potable water next to the bathroom sink, to the extra blankets to help with the changing season, to the kayaks readily available for our use. This is most definitely a place we would rent again and recommend to anyone!!

Very nice cabin. Perfect location for all the activities we planned.

The cabin was perfect and just what we needed. The lakefront property was idyllic and indeed the slice of wilderness heaven promised in the listing. The host, Barb, was helpful, kind, compassionate, and quite amenable and understanding. She even came out in a storm when we locked ourselves out by accident. The location and proximity to other jewels of Maine as well as the freshest of seafood and Maine home cooking made day trips a very feasible possibility! You can’t miss with this property … we will definitely be back!

Barb was wonderful to work with and everything was wonderful. We were visiting family on the pond so the location was perfect. We enjoyed the beautiful pond views and being close to several hiking trails. We hope to stay there again!

My husband and I stayed at this camp for a full week, and it was paradise! Listening to the loons, watching the bald eagles, watching the ducks on the pond. The cabin is adorable. If you want a peaceful escape this is the place for you!

My daughter and I enjoyed the cozy cabin, beautiful lake, and fire pit very much. It did rain one night making nighttime trips to the bathroom building more inconvenient (which I must admit that I had not seen in the description that the bathroom was in a separate building). Maybe having an umbrella available by the cabin door would be good idea. I loved the smell of the pines and wood chips that greeted me each time I was outside.

This was a wonderful place to stay, felt just like a summer camp! Cute cabin with a beautiful pond next to it for swimming/fishing/kayaking, etc. About 45 minutes from Acadia National Park, depending on what trail you're headed to.

The cabin and property were as listed. Communication with the property manager was great! Thoughtful, friendly and easy to work with. Beautiful lake, rustic and fun. We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was older but very well kept. Nice and close to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park (about 40 minutes).

Don't skip past this listing - this was a true gem. We felt the true Maine cabin experience, could get to Acadia in 35 minutes, 15 minutes to the grocery, so the convenience is there if you're nervous about the distance. The pond was gorgeous, my family loved using the kayaks and swimming. The cabin was very well equipped and we were able to cook our own meals with ease. Barb was a very friendly and thoughtful host as well.

My significant other and I had a beautiful stay at this unique cozy cabin! This was our home base while in the area exploring Acadia and we loved starting our day with views of the lake and coming back to enjoy relaxing by the firepit. Everything was as described and it was nice having our own private bathroom a few steps from the main cabin along with access to a washer and dryer to keep our laundry fresh after a week of traveling and camping. Barbara was extremely helpful and communicated very well in planning for our arrival and answering questions we had during the stay.

We loved being on the lake - charming cabin.

We had a great time at Barbara’s waterfront cabin — perfect for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and homey, and Barbara was very communicative! The access to the water and the kayaks provided made for a great time on the pond.

Good for Get Away vacation. Easy to get in touch with the host. We'll be back

Barbara and Tom are wonderful hosts with a beautiful vintage camp located right on the water. A true wildlife lovers oasis we saw beavers, otters, loons, osprey and many other birds. The fishing was a hit. Location was convenient to Acadia yet removed from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor making for the perfect retreat. We will definitely be coming back. David & Pattie

Relaxing in every way. Everything we needed, and charming.
