About this house rental

This property is located in East Franklin, on five acres of fields along the bank of tidal Hog Bay Creek. The area is rural, and the view from the deck down over the fields to the marsh is beautiful.

In the spring, alewives run up the creek and osprey, eagles, and herons are a common sight. The fields are home to numerous birds including bluebirds, woodpeckers, yellow bellied northern flickers, yellow finches, etc.

The house sleeps eight comfortably, with a fold-out couch on the first floor for overflow, and a fold out cot and a pack and play available. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a full bath. The first floor has a library with a queen bed, kitchen, dining/living room, and a full bath. There is a grill on the back deck.

This part of Maine has many opportunities for hiking, boating, and biking in Acadia National Park (45 minute drive), on the Rails-to-Trails multi-use path that runs from Ellsworth to the Canadian border, and in the over 14,000-acre Donnell Pond Public Lands area that borders East Franklin. The Schoodic Peninsula (30 minute drive) offers stunning vistas as well and is a must-visit.

Bar Harbor is full of shops and restaurants, while Ellsworth (20 minute drive) is the nearby shopping hub. Basic groceries and necessities are available at the Franklin Trading Post 2 miles from the property.

The coast east from here is quiet and far less congested than mid-coast Maine. Have a secluded home base from which to launch your Maine explorations, and/or to have some quiet time away from the hustle.

Loved the setting of the home with a beautiful view out one window of a creek meandering and another a church along with fall colors. All comforts of home were thought of to make the time there delightful. One of my favorite stays at a rental vacation home. Good location, within a hour of Acadia Park.

We had a fantastic time here. Seven of us stayed here for a week and there was plenty of room and beds. The house was clean and well taken care of. The appliances are all nice and there is a really nice washer & dryer. My husband and I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the bed was really comfy. It was nice having screens on the windows also because we would crack our window at night to let in a cool breeze. I sent Laurel, the host, several messages before our trip and she always responded right away. Great host! We are hoping to stay here again next year. It was perfect for our group.

What an amazing property and home! It had everything we could need, felt welcoming and relaxing. Great views and wonderful hosts! We highly recommend coming here - close enough to everything you could want, but far enough away to be peaceful!
