Traditional Lakefront Cabin Located On Beautiful George's Pond

Franklin, Maine, United States

This traditional lakefront cabin located on George's Pond has everything you could want for a quiet, peaceful Maine vacation. Built in 1912, its rustic ambiance has all of the modern-day amenities without sacrificing the experience. Fall asleep listening to the loons sing and awaken to the sunrise watching eagles and osprey feed on the lake. This cabin is nestled amongst tall pines that will take your breath away. George's Pond is a 380-acre spring-fed lake surrounded by glimpses of Schoodic Mountain. This cabin sleeps 6-8 (Queen master bed, 4 twin beds in the lofts, and a double bed on the sleeping porch). We are minutes to Schoodic Mountain and Schoodic Beach which is great for hiking and swimming or a picnic on Donnell’s Pond. Schoodic’s summit is flat with 360-degree breathtaking views over Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is a revamped railway with miles of trail for biking, hiking, ATV, or walking (see website for more information) just 3 minutes from the cabin. Schoodic Head is 30 minutes towards Winter Harbor and also part of Acadia National Park. There you will find beautiful hikes, a cute harbor town, and great ice cream and see some more of beautiful Maine. The cabin is 40 minutes to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. There you can hike, mountain bike, shop the island boutiques, dine in Bar Harbor restaurants, go whale watching or grab a delicious ice cream cone. You can also play golf at the famous Kebo Valley course. Pick blueberries on your way home and make a cobbler or relax on the dock. We provide kayaks and life vests. There are multiple bike, kayak, and boat rentals available. Vacation awaits!br

Lakefront Home On Beautiful Donnells Pond,32 miles From Acadia N P and Bar Harbr

Franklin, Maine, United States

Located on a large lake, beautiful, pristine, Donnell Pond in Downeast Maine. Welcome to 'Memory Cove'! brDonnell Pond is one of Maine's premier lakes, with miles of protected and forever wild shoreline. Quiet even at the height of summer, with beautiful mountain views, remote sand beaches, and hiking. br Built in the early '60s as our family's Maine summer 'camp', 'Memory Cove' is floor-to-ceiling knotty pine, rustic, and spacious with a large newly remodeled kitchen, bathroom, and deck. Our dining area seats six with a separate den to relax and enjoy TV. The deck is right off the front, with a gas grill and plenty of seating so you can relax and enjoy a summer meal while taking in the beauty of the pristine lake. brJust steps to the dock to grab a kayak, or canoe and paddle out to islands or perhaps the secluded sandy beaches for a picnic or a mountaintop hike. Shared swim float for sunbathing and swimming, kids love it!brOther amenities include full laundry, dishwasher, deck with a propane grill, fireplace inside, and a fire pit outside (bring some marshmallows!). brSwim, fish right off the dock, or just relax on the deck while taking in the spectacular beauty of the mountains and lake. brUse our 2-person canoe and several single-person kayaks for your enjoyment.br My parents, born and raised in Maine, built this home in 1963 as a summer retreat. Every summer my parents would load up the station wagon and with 8 kids in tow drive from New York to Franklin, Maine to spend the summer. In Maine, a summer lake home is often referred to as 'camp'. And truly in the early years, camp it was, with no running water or electricity and with 8 kids (some in diapers). We loved it and we can't imagine a childhood without swimming and being on the lake. Over the years 'camp' has evolved into a home, perhaps still a bit rough around the edges, but no better spot exists as far as we 'kids' believe. br It's our pleasure to share our home with you so that you can make your own everlasting memories of summer in Maine.brWelcome to Memory Cove!
